Meleeing my first ever waterfiend task (not charm hunting!)

Featured Replies

i'm not too sure on how to go about this. before i started i'm maxed melee with 70 prayer and 1 summon. i was thinking black dragonhide (or is karils worth it?) with torags warhammers (or a dragon mace? veracs flail?) would i have to pray range? if so how many prayer pots are recommended? i'm also thinking of taking guthans to heal with should their magic do too much damage through my dragonhide/karils. also... ring of wealth or berserker?

Pray range, or you'll be annihilated. I don't know how many prayer pots you'd need. Sara sword is the best weapon for these, followed by Zammy spear, godsword, and Verac's flail in that order.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Karils, zerker ring, zammy spear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With no summon it will probly be really hard... no clue what to do honestly. i would just piety and pro range and bring heaps of ppots. Unless anyone else has a better idea. Guthans might work you could try it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

by the way zammy spear > ss especially when piety is involved

Yeah, it has a lower max hit. But doesn't it have a higher crush? Can't check right now...

Zammy spear has more attack, but less strength. Sara sword has more strength, but less attack. They end up being around equal, at least in that any difference between them is too small to be noticeable.

You hit a few less with spear but the added accuracy is noticable for me at least. anyways either is a fine choice.

With the spear id often kill many without hitting any 0s, and with ss id still hit a few 0s per kill. but then again you are doing more damage with the ss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it all comes down to personal preference. Maybe I am biasing the spear a bit to much though i admit that.

the thing is i don't really want to spend 1.5 on a spear that i'll hardly use. will verac's flail suffice?

It'll be significantly worse. None of the barrows weapons are really any good for waterfiends. Sara sword/Zammy spear > Godsword > Barrelchest anchor. You should be able to easily sell back the z spear when you don't need it, though. And if you got a Sara sword, I'm sure loads of people would pay you to borrow it.
