Sinkhan Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Sources other than buying? I've heard that catablepons in the SoS are supposed to drop them, but I trained for a while there and didn't get a single mithril arrow. I'm going at black knights, but they drop them so infrequently. White knights are supposed to drop them too I guess, but there's no altar there. There's also the option of picking up arrows at bounty hunter. Suggestions? Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jay99 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Buy them. Seriously, it's not worth your time collecting them. Mithril arrows are very very cheap since waterfiends drop a lot of them. Ice warrior should drop mithril arrows, and ankous should drop addy arrows. I don't know in what quantities they drop them though. You way be way better off just buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well I was considering since I was training anyway, I'd find a monster that would drop something I need: arrows. Ankous have never dropped addys for me. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus_Flesh Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well I was considering since I was training anyway, I'd find a monster that would drop something I need: arrows. Ankous have never dropped addys for me. It's not a common drop, but it depends on which ones you are killing. Just buy them, and save yourself some time. Train at Ankou for drops, sell and buy arrows if you absolutely need to. ~Zackdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytanicc Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Ankous do drop them, alot... But if you are gonna train your ranged, i would say black knights are the way to go. Easy to kill because they are a bit weak, and with a decent defence you will almost never get hit. |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidium Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 most rangers train at ankous using mith/steel and use the addy arrows they get at cw or save for pk later... maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytanicc Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 With bad defence you will get ripped to pieces by ankou. even i dont train there because they are aggressive for about 10-15minutes, and then you cant use any safespot. |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugged99 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Nah, that is inefficient. Its better to just buy them. Or fight a monster that drops a lot of coins/loot to you can buy the arrows Fight cockroach soldiers, last time i trained attack there, I got at least 60k worth of stuff per trip. In the end i gained around 300k attack exp and earned around 700k worth of loot so...think about that. Help Tip.it create a new RANGED MAX HIT CALCULATOR ~ crossbows, darts!

OMG!!!!! you just made my day... i didnt know about the altar there, and im training ranged too... guess where im gonna go range now :thumbsup: Yessur. There's a room right next to the altar with 2 blk knights. As soon as you open the door, they auto-attack you regardless of level. Only annoyance might be random people doing the quest, but it's usually not many, or the odd other person training there (From 46-66 ranged, I've seen 2 other people training at my spot). Maybe I'll make a guide :-k Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinkhan Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 How much EXP per hour can you get this way? I'm not sure it's hard to say. It depends on your level of course, but I get about 3-5K per 10 mins, which translates to 18-30K XP per hour. Remember no food req'd and they've got half decent drops (Deaths, steel bars, laws, mith arrows) Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytanicc Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I tried training there for a bit yesterday and it seemed a bit slow even with the prayer on. do you train in the room where when you enter at first the one knite says :"die, intruder".? |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i havent tried workers, but i am skeptical at best at what you said Sure, soldiers do drop rune scimi and rune sq, once every 30 or 40 kills. Workers drop choas runes, nats, mith ores and coal witch can be seen as valueble. Not only do they drop those items often, they can be dropped in large ammounts(5-20). I usually get about 150nats and 300chaos, or so from a trip witch alone is about 60k... not to mention the ores i get and the mith armour i alch. |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the option of picking up arrows at bounty hunter. Suggestions? Sinkhan, try ranging the minotaurs for a while, and rack up a load of Iron Arrows... Once you have about 2k arrows, then try going to the Catablepons near the 3rd floor prize room, and range at those a while, dodging in and out of the safespot to retrieve your arrows and drops. This should eventually result in your getting a nice stack of Mithril Arrows. : And BTW, yes, Catablepons do drop Mithril Arrows, and Ankous drop Adamant Arrows... I know from my personal experience in battle down there. 8-) Also, never use white knights for melee, unless you're in a team. Sadly, those white knights use crush-type attacks like as if they are going out of style, and it can do a lot of damage if you have platebody-type armor on. Range/Mage seems to work better on them. :| ~Mr. D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people...

Sinkhan Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Honestly, I've never seen mithril arrows being dropped by catablepons, but I'll take your word for it. Anyway, I think I'll just stick to black knights for the time being. BTW slay, it's the room right next to the altar. It might just seem slow because there's no one to talk to in there >.> Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
