Waterfiend task

[Pafman]

So I've got my first Waterfiend task and I have a question.

 

 

 

Stats:

 

78 Attack

 

78 Strength

 

81 Defence

 

82 Hitpoints

 

78 Ranged

 

84 Magic

 

70 Prayer

 

58 Summoning

 

 

 

I would like to train ranged, but I'm not sure if that is effective against them(as my ranged isn't that high)...would it be better to use melee instead(although my attack and strength aren't that high as well)?

You should have melees in the mid 80's. Aswell as a high crush weapon.

 

Dont expect to get more than 25-30 kills per run. -.-

His combat stats are fine he just needs higher summ for bunyip, i have almost the same stats than he and i can stay there for a very long time ;)

1) DON'T USE GUTHANS! It fails (got KOed by a dragon there lol) and doesn't heal fast enough anyway.

 

2) How many waterfiends to kill?

 

3) Zamorakian spear *ON CRUSH* + High Mage defence armor.. could try void/ Dhide/ Karil's and if you're not using void, some helmet to help you with prayer (Verac/Proselyte) and something for prayer around your neck + God Cape (not cloak) from minigame.

 

4) Ranging fails at your level (You could try with diamond [e] bolts if you really want to)

 

5) You can't use bunyip so you could either try a terrorbird with some food or that void thingy that heals (Spinner) 4 hp/minute and costs about 10k

 

6) Combat potions are a cheap alternative for super sets and don't bother with def potions, as you will PROTECT RANGE and get hit by mage.

 

7) *offtopic* nice prayer!

Of course you can use ranged after they're non-aggressive, and though it isn't too effective, just don't forget your runite crossbow and broad bolts :lol:

 

 

 

I once went waterfiend hunting with a friend who had 99 in all melee stats, cept magic and summ (he had 70 magic and 52 summ). I was tanking hits MUCH BETTER (80 def, 99 mage, 70 prayer) while we were wearing armor with the same stats. So don't worry too much about your tanking skills, and just work for the bunyip so next time you'll last much longer :mrgreen:

Thanks, I'll try this tomorrow, as my nature runes(which is like, 7/10 of my bank value) don't want to sell at the moment.
