I've just written and posted on my site an extensive guide to killing dark beasts. It's much too long to duplicate here, but I thought some of you might find it an informative read (although I realize that dark beasts are out of the reach of most players.)

 

 

 

Comments welcomed.

Saw you telling someone abut it on your forums, but I will have to read it before I say anymore :D

Well nice guide, but still not worthwhile to me. I do have one question though, regarding the use of an Amulet of Fury for fighting with prayer. In this guide you seemed to say using a Prayer Book, losing +11 Slash Attack, +19 Stab Defense and +5 Stength (I assume they use that big horn :P ) but highly recommend against using a God Stole, where you lose +10 Slash Attack, +15 Stab Defense and +8 strength.

 

 

 

Also in your Aviansies guide where you pray and range, you suggest swapping your God Stole for an Amulet of Fury if you need extra Range Attack bonus, while you could use Black D'hide Chaps at the cost of the same prayer bonus for an extra 17 Range Attack bonus instead of the Amulet of Fury's 10 Range Attack Bonus. Better yet you could use a Black D'hide Body, sacrificing one more Prayer bonus for another +13 Range Attack.

Yes, most people feel the same way. :)

Actually I list the prayer book as an option but the rune defender is the best choice.

Hmm.. interesting point I hadn't considered, thanks. They have poor defence so I almost always just go for all prayer gear and didn't weigh that option.

Nice guide. Very detailed.

 

I never thought of using imp-in-a-box's to bank the mourners outfit. <3 those imps

What's with all the new adverts on your website? :?

Wow. Talk about a long guide. I'm not even done yet. This is really great so far, but as said before (and in your guide) they aren't really worth fighting, or getting to 90 slayer for.

I have a question asked by my friend.

 

 

 

Is it possible to get dark beast tasks while not completeing the whole MEP2 quest? Just completed the first part where you are allowed to enter the dungeon.

 

 

 

Thanks :)

If only dark bows weren't so worthless now, like every other slayer drop.

 

Not like they ever drop for me though anyway.

wow..simply wow...your dedication never cease to amaze me.

 

As someone who goes there only on tasks i rather use the quick & simple way rather the chalanging way so if i ever had to write a dark beast slayering guide it would have been something like:

 

"take prayer & attack & strengh boosting gear, some prayer,strengh and attack pots and one click teleport.

 

now go down there and smack the *[cabbage]* out of those beasts"

 

 

 

what can i say ,you pretty much covered the subject from all angles.

 

Few small notes:

 

1. My personal experience with DDS specs was quite positive

 

2. Thanks for reminding me the Zammy potions, i completly forgot all about those...

 

3. Cannon might speed your kills a little bit and,though its a single combat area there will be some moments were the beasts gets into "deadlock" situation when you're standing on a spot where none of them can attack you but you also cant attack back (without moving off the spot).

 

In this case your cannon will start shooting all around making it even more effective. On the other hand that means 5 slots less...

 

 

 

Anyway,Great guide =D>

Well Mr. Qeltar is back...and with another uber-guide!

 

Too bad I'm f2p

I'm not really sure but wouldn't that get alot of dark beasts on you, since most are safespotted by other beasts and still under attack, they would just mage you?
