Kurask

[transcript80]

Hi There,

 

 

 

I got a Sumona task for 100-odd of these, and since it's my first task ever, I decided to start it. I bought a spear and defeated the smoking kills dungeon "Uber-Kurask". I brought B2P runes and started spearing hem. I found them quite slow, but their drops are somewhat decent.

 

 

 

What would be the fastest way of dealing with them? Does a combat familiar do any good (karamthulu overlord)? Is the broad leafed spear 1 or 2 handed?

 

 

 

Setup: Slayer helmet, granite plate, d-skirt, d boots, glory, barrows gloves.

 

B2P for food.

Apparently the leaf-bladed sword are the best weapons on kurasks, and use the best fam you can until you can use bunyips. Try to get a nice defence bonus on these too. Oh, and bring a knife. They drop unnoted pineapples sometimes. Dice or slice for extra hpz.

 

 

 

That's all I can help on.

 

 

 

Oh and leaf bladed spear is 2 handed.

Is the sword 1 handed? If so, sould I bring a defender for attack bonusses or DFS for extra defence?

The sword is one handed and a lot faster/harder hitting than the spear. I would consider it a must for kurasks and turoth tasks. I personally use a defender for kurasks but they do hit pretty hard on me (def 83). However, I'd rather get the task done quicker and spend a little more on food.... personal preference. Likewise you can choose whether to fight multicombat in the Sllayer Smoke dungeon with a combat familiar, or one on one in the slayer cave using a bunyip (if you do this use the teleport from the smoke dungeon, saves a lot of running...)

I didn't know combat familars hurt them?

 

 

 

Is this 100% ? if so Ill just go with a steel titan after 99 summon to get my kurask head =]

[teatonev]

Overlord definitely works on them.

Range w/ Broad Bolts?

 

 

 

It's easier for me on Turoth tasks, and you could probably save a load of food.

Leaf-bladed sword. They are almost at minimum price anyways and soooooo much better than the spear. LB Spear is outdated.
