ferrariman12 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 On November 26th, 2008, Jagex released the new Grandmaster quest "While Guthix Sleeps." With it, they released a new monster to kill, and a new weapon with a badass special, Dragon Claws. After doing the quest on the first day, I immediately set out on ways to kill them. I learned about the darklight trick and (ab)used it to my full advantage. I hallied them when they first came out, prompting them to change the demons to switch attack styles when they could not reach you with melee, instead of just standing there like an idiot. I then attempted a few times after they updated them again to shoot over each other, but had no luck. I would go every day though, trying to figure out new methods. I was extremely frustrated. A little while later a friend told me about a new spot, just south of the one I had been using. I experimented there, and found it was easy to lure just 1 demon to a spot where only he could attack you. Another one could jump on you, but could easily be hugged around the rock. Also much to my surprise when I hallied the demons from the spot, they resumed to their old ways of getting stuck trying to melee me. I taught many friends the spot, and helped many of them get their own dragon claws (Hi Ikraz ). I am posting this because today they have changed the darklight trick. You can no longer drop the shield while ranging or hallying. I cashed out all my dragon claws and bought slayer equipment last night, so I am pretty much done with Tormented Demons unless a friend drags me along. So, here they are. 10 Dragon Claw drops, 3 Ruined Armour Pieces (1 ls'ed to a friend). A few of the pictures have stories, so I'll put those here as well. After the claw pictures, I'll post my BoB, which I got from selling the claws. I also have the charms I got from killing all those demons. Claws #1. I went on a trip with Holychaos for a bit, he went and banked some loot so I decided to solo a demon while he banked. We kept lootshare on and he came walking up just as I dropped the demon. He got the claws... D: But, he was nice enough to sell me them for trade price :) (~300k at the time) As recompense for his generosity selling me the claws that he had received, I sold Holychaos this pair of claws for trade price. He lost them in a PvP deathmatch with another friend XD Dragonlordjl (some of you might know him) learned of my prowess/luck at Tormented Demons and wanted to get his hands on a pair of claws. I told him if he duo'ed with me and we got a drop, I would sell them to him at trade price. So, we got them :D With those claws, I believe he became one of the first people to have dragon full/plate/legs/claws/boots. So I decided to go with another friend who wanted claws...he got a shard. It gave me nice LS points though (~7-8M at the time) and I haxxed a clan Bandos trip for over 1M in regular drops. ------------------------- These next two drops are using 8309's Armadyl Godsword. I got the first pair on one of the last kills of the first trip that day, and the second pair on one of the first kills on the second trip :) Christmas loving :) This pair was with 5554447, who had gone one like 3 trips before with me and gotten nothing, so it was a nice surprise for both of us :) I had also been on a 200ish kill dry streak (armour pieces and claws) so it was nice to me, too :) This pic is my favorite, maybe because it's my last one, maybe it's because I was wearing my green partyhat, but probably because it was my last kill before I went to bed. I had been duoing with another friend of mine who was out of supplies (no unicorn stallions, ftl) and I told him if I got claws I would split them with him. I was talking on Ventrilo with him and a few other clanmates and I said "Alright guys, this is my last kill," and voila! So, here's the BoB: (Seeds are snapdragon. 3M+ cash remaining. Rest was spent on another 190k cannonballs and 1.2k Teleport to House tabs) Why the rune, you ask? I'm in Eternal Honour, a 10 top F2P warring clan.

SirHartlar Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 10/10 for sure, I've been using the southern spot as shown in your last picture but I only manage around 20 kills an hour. I stay for one unicorn then I tele, is that good? :P I'm hoping the darklight trick nerf doesn't affect my kill ratio too badly, still want my first claw drop badly.

With the southern spot, I would take 3 unicorn pouches, idk how many scrolls (would just withdraw all but 1), 9 prayer potions, 1 super restore (for summoning points), and 4 sharks. It would take ~3 hours to do, and I'd get around 20 kills/hr like you said. 117/126 F2P Combat ~~~~~ 129/138 P2P Combat 92/99 Attack | 96/99 Range94/99 Strength | 88/99 Prayer92/99 Defense | 99/99 Magic88/99 Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to anticipate when the demon is about to change attack style? Even with 99 Defence and a super defence it often hits me for a high 20 before I can change prayer? Do you bring stat boosters btw? (Sorry for all the q's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, I don't bring boosters. 117/126 F2P Combat ~~~~~ 129/138 P2P Combat 92/99 Attack | 96/99 Range94/99 Strength | 88/99 Prayer92/99 Defense | 99/99 Magic88/99 Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
