cat666 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Does anyone have a semi decent setup for Waterfiends with my stats or have any idea how I can do them efficiently? Currently I am praying range with Ahrims and am getting hit pretty much never. Bunyip is more than taking care of it. My issue is I'm letting all these drops go to waste, mithril ore, herbs, vials of water etc. as I don't have much room in inven. I tried earlier without range prayer and still the Bunyip managed to keep me steadily in health. The few times it dropped I had food as drop/raw with scrolls. Is it feasible for me to go whole trips without prayer? Should I take a prayer pot or 2 just in case? Also if I don't use prayer should I bring Guthans along as backup? 4 spaces against 12 prayer pots seems a lot better. Could also bring some food to get me by until raw ones drop. To be honest I have no idea of what I can and can't do so any ideas would be great. I'm using a Sara Sword and standard slayer gear. Trust the Gene Genie!

I'm using a Sara Sword and standard slayer gear.[/hide] The only worthy drops to pick up are ranarr herb/ seeds, watermelon seeds, water orbs, death runes, blood runes, kwuarms. About the ranged prayer, you don't need to have it all all the time (ex. when your hp is still in the green range or at max.). Turn it off if you have raws, which you mentioned already. Guthans....Imo only experienced people should use it. Cause its still risky. SS is the best weapon to use on waterfiends so you're on the right track, but I believe Karils/ black dhide yields better results than Ahrims.

ghjkl Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Use karil's instead of ahrims, more range defence. With your melee stats, you can probably dharok them using the pineapple pizza method, but its much more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a Sara Sword and standard slayer gear.[/hide] The only worthy drops to pick up are ranarr herb/ seeds, watermelon seeds, water orbs, death runes, blood runes, kwuarms. If that's all that you're picking up you will be losing money. Usually at the end of a trip I get: 9k per staff, 5k or so for sapphire bolts, 25k or so for mithrill arrows (one of these should be equipped), 20k or so from seaweed, and similar amounts from snapes, and around 10k or so from mith ores, 11k/rune med, and like 3k/ addy chain, and all of those except for the chains are worth more than a ranarr or kwuarm. With bunyips I would suggest a karils top with monks robe bottom using range protect and piety while taking along 1 pure set, 12 pray pots, and swallow scrolls. Switch out the karil top to proselyte when you can use ponies. Take a sip of pure set every 3 pray pots used. This way(proselyte) a trip with a slayer helm usually lasts like 43 or so minutes at 72 prayer with sgs specs(I use glories instead of furies btw) and yields liek 70 or so crimsons, and a trip with a neitiznot lasts like 52 or so minutes and yields around 80 crimsons. This way is just under 100 crimsons/hour for me, and I think that you have higher stats and probably use a fury which I think has extra strength bonus so you could probably get over 100/hour.

cat666 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Made a mistake. It is Karils I use, not Ahrims. The issue seems to be the Bunyip/drops more than keeps me in decent health, even without prayer. I think I will try a trip with only super sets (inc def), bunyip and Swallow Whole scrolls and see how I fair. If it goes a bit pear shaped, then I can try again with full Guthans in inven as well.

Matok Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yesterday i started my first ever Waterfiends task (been off the game for 8 months) and after killing about 60 i also had the same thoughts,why wasting prayer pots (as several guides suggests) when it seems that bunyip + guthan can get you through the all task... update us with your findings. btw, taking some natures and fires might also be a good idea...

ilovecardj Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I use pony, but I only have 71 cook lol so bunyip not even that great for me here. I bring like 3 ppots in case I need them, I dont often piety though as I only fight them on task so Slayer helm helps enough. If I dont use those ppots (sometimes need sometimes dont) I use them to piety near end of task. Theory should be the same with swallow whole scrolls with the shark drops I would think I use most likely same set up as everyone else: slayer helm Fury Karils top/bottom D boots Sara sword (will be zammy spear on 99 str) barrows gloves zerker ring Attack cape :( not trimmed yet. I use sgs in inventory for spec (ss/spear own this here) Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
