Ranging Duradel Tasks

[atrocityexhibition]

I'm maxed melee and 80 range (with 72 slayer), I'd like to start ranging slayer tasks because I'm basically wasting the exp on attack. I only use shilo village for tasks; bloodvelds, aberrants, kalphites, iron/steels, black demons, miths, etc etc. Whats the best armour/gear to use if I'm going to be ranging all the tasks given to me? Money isn't a problem...

Umm.. if money isn't the problem then get the best range gear lol.

 

For melee attack monster task maybe swap Torag helm and legs in or so.

 

 

 

Broad-tips all the way!

 

Weird question though =)

 

 

 

For Mith dragons I guess 80 range will phail.

Robin and ranger boots, armadyl (or karils / hides etc if you're short), rune crossbow, mith / addy / broad bolts (buy broad ability from the master asap), fury, zam book, barrows gloves, archer ring.

 

 

 

That's your basic setup for most range tasks, though if you prefer you can switch to bows etc are your discretion. I use mith arrows ans msb on some easier tasks (lesser demons etc), though i suppose crossbow is probably similar effectiveness.

 

 

 

 

 

There are some tasks that are difficult, or impossible to safespot, but they're still rangeable. You'll want a crossbow for sure for this one, and id reccomend broad or addy bolts. Tank range these tasks. For this you'll want to switch out either:

 

 

 

Zam book for dfs, granite shield, obby shield etc.

 

Boots for dragon.

 

Helm for toreags or neitiznot.

 

 

 

Switch those out at your own discretion, lets say you can't be assed safespotting nechs, and want to just tankrange them, you'll probably switch out all 3. For some tasks, you might just switch out one for that defence boost. This is the key to making range slayer fun. This method also owns for abby demons. I can't tell you exactly what to wear where, because it's very level dependant: list mosnters and i'll tell you exactly what i do, but it might be different for you.

 

 

 

Kalphites, you can range the big ones or tank the 85's effectively.

 

 

 

BD's, i'm sure you know the taverly spot, or you can pray tank range them in the exact same way you melee in CT, i thin kthere's a safespot there also.

 

 

 

Type out a list of mosnters and i'll tell you the way i like to handle them if you like. I promise you EVERY task is rangeable, and effectively. Maybe not qutie as fast as melee, but they're all doable.

Gear Setup :

 

 

 

• [*:3j7di4ex]Robin/Armadyl Helm/Void Range Helm
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Fury
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Armadyl Chest/Karil's Top/Void Top
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Armadyl Skirt/Karil's Skirt/Void Bottom
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Ranger Boots
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Archer's Ring
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Barrows Gloves/Void Gloves
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Accumulator
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]DFS/Unholy Book
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Broad Bolts/Addy Bolts/other bolts like Diamond E or something, for metal dragons
   
  [*:3j7di4ex]Cannon for tasks you want to cannon

 

 

 

Red is for weaker tasks that don't need the accuracy/defence of Armadyl.

 

 

 

You shouldn't really be using Karil's unless you don't have the ~19m or so it costs for chest + skirt, but seeing as you said money isn't a problem, go for Arma, it has better defence and range attack bonuses. Also, I don't know what your summoning level is, but I'm guessing higher than 58. From there you can use Karamthulhu overlords, Force Regents, Hydras, Geyster Titans, and of course, Steel Titans, for extra ranged exp in a multicombat situation, where you don't need a BOB or healing familiar.

 

 

 

Hope that helps, and I would take gun_hippy up on that offer ;)
