4. The Strategy + What To Do

 

1. You guys (2 mages + 1 suicider/hybrid) make it to the Rock Lobsters ladder [Rock lobs hiding here], and wait behind it for 70+ Energy (to speed this up, have your suicider bring 2 (super) energy pots (3) so all of you can take 2 sips). (Here you guys enter one of your clan chat channels and put on LootShare (and CoinShare))

 

 

 

2. You guys run south to the ladder to the lair with the Dks [Mage protect on here

 

 

 

3. You Guys run directly east then a bit south to the south safespot [South safespot here, it's only 1 space south of the green stuff], then you both summon your Bunyip/Unicorn.

 

 

 

4. It gets tricky now! You guys DUO, wait duo? Yes DUO, lure rex! It's not so hard and it's quicker kills = more ftw :D. While luring Rex, DON'T ever go over this (notice the "rocks" on the ground north and south of you) line without mage pray on. Prime will spot you guys and hit you hard. He will keep attacking you guys until you kill him, that's why you brought Ranged! You guys both hit Rex (maybe you need to scream NOW or something so you guys hit him at the same moment) and run to the north safe spot. Make sure directly after you click "Attack Dagannoth Rex", you click on the north safe spot on the minimap [Hit n' Run Pic here].

 

 

 

5. While waiting for Rex to catch up at the north safe spot, you guys hit him for a 2nd, oh yes, a 2nd time [North safe spot + 2nd time hit here], it's the Hit n' Run method again, right after you click "Attack Dagannoth Rex", you click on the south safe spot on the minimap again.

 

 

 

NOTE: This MAY seem hard when reading it, but it's easy once you're doin' it!

 

 

 

6. Keep Maging Rex until he dies, pick up the drop and continue doing this the whole time. If Prime managed so spot you guys, (finish the Rex you're currently fighting then) equip your Accumulator and Rune cbow and start rangin' Prime (

 

 

 

7. Once your Bunyip or Unicorn vanishes, summon a new one. Most likely, you will need to take a sip of your Summoning potion (if you're under 7 lvls above the needed lvl to summon that pouch), after that drop it (that's why you only brought 1 dose).

 

 

 

8. Once you're out of supplies, tele and wait for your partner to finish his/her supplies and then trade your invents. This is so you can see the final loot and calc your profit/loss.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Sample Pictures:

 

Sample trip 1

 

 

 

 

 

6. The FAQ

 

Q: What do I do when I have both Prime and Sup on me?

 

A: Most likely tele. Since you don't have a melee weapon with you, you won't be able to kill Supreme. And killing + luring Rex with range pray is extremely dangerous.

 

 

 

Q: Why don't you have the best gear: Fire Cape - Seers Ring

 

A: Because I'm fine with a Ring of Life and I don't feel like getting a Fire Cape.

 

 

 

Q: My partner died, what do I do?

 

A: bless his/her grave, you can't do anything else.

 

Q: Waitttt, I don't have 70 Prayer, what do I do now?

 

A: There's nothing you can do except for asking other people in the lair (most likely hybrids) to bless your partner's grave.

 

 

 

Q: How long does 1 trip take?

 

A: With bunyip, up to 2 hours. With Unicorn around 2.5 hours I think.

 

 

 

Q: When do I pay my suicider and how much do I pay him?

 

A: I usually just pay him the max cash he can trade in 1 trade.

 

 

 

Q: USE RING OF WEALTH!

 

A: Nope. When using LootShare, a ring of wealth doesn't increase your chance of a drop. Check here

Thnx for reading this far! Now maybe post?

[IgnacioxD]

first post hyt! \ :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Nice guide dude rly!

 

i'm not into dk'ing, but still, well explained :)

[AnneFrank]

god cape better>then 99 when maging

 

CLaws with mace >slayer dart

[Lodewijk66]

first post hyt! \ :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Nice guide dude rly!

 

i'm not into dk'ing, but still, well explained :)

 

 

 

thnx :D you should try it, it's really fun and easy

 

 

 

god cape better>then 99 when maging

 

CLaws with mace >slayer dart

 

 

 

hmmmm well god cape has 10+ mage att and 99 has 9+ ranged defence and melee defence for when you're getting meleed (phailing lure) but i'd say 99 cape because you would need more brews if you wouldn't wear it.

 

 

 

claws sure own but the mace is a lil hard to get (not sooo anymore but still a lil) and then you would have 1 less sup, which is shorter stay and claws costs moar. but since claws has 6+ prayer i'dd add it

[Chazimcgee]

well done lode :)

[meme79]

NO more DARTS!

 

 

 

fire wave is higher hitting! higher xp! same to lower cost!

 

 

 

yes, you can hit 20 with dart with cape and 99 or pot...but takes more effort..

 

 

 

so, dont use dart anymore....

 

 

 

also, if partner dies, wait as long as you can and keep repairing for people who are lower than 70 pray..

[Lodewijk66]

k thnx, will try!

[Leik]

Hehe, good job Lode! Great guide. :) And thanks for teaching me to DKs. Was always so afraid of it. :P Now when I do it, it's so easy! Thanks again!!

 

 

 

BTW, me + Lode r pro duo lurers, k?

[Lodewijk66]

thnx Leik! yes we r pro duo lurers k?

 

 

 

guide is quite finished, i need to add few more pics.

[brainymidget]

Very nice guide, well written, describes it well. Only thing is the spell you're using. As someone said, fire wave is better hitting, cheaper, and gives more exp. Also, if you have the money for it and have a void mace, the best option is Claws of Guthix.

thnx brainy. i will work on those invents. i don't have mace so i think i need to pc lol!

 

 

 

what is the best staff for using fire waves?

[Vann]

what is the best staff for using fire waves?

 

 

 

Either air or fire. Its mainly just up to the person.

 

 

 

I agree that CoG is the best spell to use (along with any other god spell but CoG is put above the other two because of the autocast with the void mace). I personally use CoG without void mace or FoZ because the clicking keeps me awake when on long solo/duo trips.

 

 

 

Maybe add a Guthan's invo with fire wave/CoG? No one really duos in veracs because you are limited by brews and with the Guthans's/Bunyip(

 

 

 

good guide overall, but try to follow some of the suggestions of the people above and some of mine and add some things that will help make the most out of your trip (because no one likes short, expensive trips).

 

 

 

Good job but could use a few improvements ;)

 

 

 

Peace,

 

Dwarve

[Lodewijk66]

completely redid all mage setup pics, still need to make: guthans - fire wave - slay dart

 

 

 

so lots to go lolz

[Lodewijk66]

included verac bunyip slayer dart

[aspokaspofkjsopfkapo]

awesome 5/5

[toast647]

You don't have inventories for under 75 summoning, and you don't have inventories for under 98.

 

If you need to bring a bow when you solo mage that means you suck at maging because you keep getting prime on you.

 

When you go to lure rex and prime is close, just run south and get rex. When he is going to attack you, run up the east side and use the north spot, or go back down and get him stuck on the south spot.

[CampbellMC]

Nice guide but you are missing quite a few things in it, here are a few:

 

Guthans

 

Where Veracs + Bunyip/Pony are good enough for duo maging most of the time, guthans is still very nice to have for people with lower defense. With duo mage there is no problem with healing during rex kills and guthans just makes you always have that extra bit of hp available.

 

 

 

Pouches/Summoning

 

#1: It is 97 for 2 unicorns, and also you have a summoning dose in your inventory pic even though you list the requirement needed for 2 unicorns without dose.

 

#2: You are bringing no where near enough pouches for duo mage trips. Without any familiars, and only guthans, duo mage trips are still as long as you feel like. You can bring summoning potions, with duo mage your inventory isnt going to struggle by bringing a pot and 2-3 more pouches.

 

#3: You didn't including anything about level 79 titans, they are better than bunyips, they heal 8 hp per scroll + defense boost.

 

#4: Your 75+ summoning and 98+ summoning requirements should definitly be turned down to 68 and 88, if someone is 88 summoning and isnt using a unicorn there then they are mentally defficient.

 

 

 

Potion/Rune Counts

 

You need to add more brews for those bunyip set ups, I know bunyips help a lot but if you arent 95+ defense I doubt you will last too long on just 2 brews as back up. You should also have back up brews on your unicorn set up, you bring bolts incase prime gets on you, well if prime gets a shot on you then you could be in trouble for hp. Also you need much more casts, where all your setups are only 1.5 hours (thats way too short) it may be alright but anyone who is actually serious about doing a trip needs atleast double those casts.

[gremmy]

NIce guide, but you don't need summoning potions at all, as super restore heals summoning up aswell.

[Lodewijk66]

ok well first sentence is ok but then you start failing, ever heard of lurers/teams/mages coming in and getting prime on you?

ok well i'm lil short on cash so i can't test guthan's nor can i get 79 summ titans, will try asap but i can't atm. i'll look on #2 and on the rune count but the brews are ok, i never use more than 1 on a normal trip

[AnneFrank]

Why do you need 75 summon for the bunyip set up?

 

 

 

change 75 to 68 summon.

 

and replace the summon potion to super restore in the bunyip set up.

 

 

 

decent guide.

[tintin113]

Nice guide, however I would suggest adding some Guthan's methods. Also, Super Restore potions now restore summoning too, so as long as you're 68 summoning you can summon as many Bunyips as you like.

[bogwaga]

Very nice guide, but do you think i'll be able to last there very long with 80 def and bunyip?

[heroclixplay]

Not a bad guide. When you get the cash you should try guthans with a void mace. Last time i solo maged i took a tortoise full of supplies and saved some bunyips for a little bit later. Had to leave because i ran out of runes and i bought 3k bloods so that might let you stay really long on a duo.
