What is something good to kill for crimsons that is not waterfiends?

cool_sig1.jpg

1.Dusties(65 slayer)

 

2.Burst Lobbies

 

3.Cockroach Soldiers(no req for this one)

I prefer to kill dusties.

Bursting/barraging rock lobbies is the best for crimsons.

 

 

 

If you can't afford that method or are not interested in trying that then Dusties are the best for lower leveled players who don't want to or can't do Waterfiends.

 

 

 

If you can't do dusties then I suggest NOT camping for charms yet. Work on your slayer until you can kill dusties and then camp there for them.

Apparently, my signature was to big.

1) Rock lobby

 

2) Scarabites w/ cannon -very risky-

 

3) Black demons w/ cannon (the ones in Edge/Tav dungeon now have a high crim drop rate)

 

4) Dusties

 

5) Greater demon

 

 

 

REQS:

 

 

 

1) DT and Ice burst, you'll also want protect melee

 

2) Contact + Dwarf cannon, also mage prayer

 

3) Dwarf Cannon, melee prayer if meleeing

 

4) Slayer req

 

5) Nothing

 

 

 

SUGGESTED:

 

1) High mage level, ahrims, high prayer

 

2) VERY high prayer and defense level, barrows armor. Be ready to tele at a moment's notice.

 

3) Good melee stats + high prayer/high ranged, they take a while to kill

 

4) Facemask of course, B2P for food

 

5) 127 combat to get the Wild Dogs off you

You could try roaches. Descent exp and about a 3/4 crimson drop rate.

Personally I love black demons in the chaos tunnels

94 magic

94 ranged

55 slayer

Addy gloves-done

Oh really? Waterfiends themselve have a 75% (more or less) crimson drop rate, so I really doubt those easily killed roaches are better.

 

 

 

Anyway, it's basicly what Zaaps said, all though he missed a very good one:

 

Nechs.

 

 

 

And tbh, dusties aren't all that great for crimson charms. They are very good melee xp and easy to camp, but I wouldn't ever consider camping them for summoning xp.

The roaches actually do have a decent crimson drop rate. Go see for yourself.

I do believe they have a good rate, but if it really was 3/4 then why the hell are people still at waterfiends?

I don't really believe it's that high either, but it could be that the information isn't widely known enough.

I get one almost every kill, it is pretty high.

I could be wrong, but since I am cheap, don't have 65 slayer, and have no reason to fight black demons, I find roaches an extremely pleasurable place to train summy.

What kind of roach is it?

Pureprayer, you're awesome.
What kind of roach is it?

 

Soldiers (level 83)

I get one almost every kill, it is pretty high.

 

Its not as fast as waterfiends but its nice because at my level there is virtually no risk of death, thier max hit is 8 and its not very accurate. I have been camping there for a few weeks because I got bored of waterfiends.

Theres always Daganoths in the CT.

 

There one of the most underrated crimson charm droppers of them all.

 

Take a few prayer pots, your best offensive prayer gear (a super attack and strength potion also helps a lot) and a decent combat familiar. You get about 30 (with about 20 golds, 10 greens and 1 or 2 blues) every 35 to 40 minutes as well as about 30k to 50k in profit (after the cost of the pots and pouch).

 

The exp isn't bad; magic from the alchs, melee from the combat and another skill too since your combat familiar will dish out a far bit of damage as well.

  • Dragon Axe x11
    Berserker Ring x9
    Warrior Ring x8
    Seercull
    Dragon Med
    Dragon Boots x4 - all less then 30 kc
    Godsword Shard (bandos)
    Granite Maul x 3

Becasue there is a huge difference in difficulty between the two. Roaches are quick and easy to kill, while waterfiends take alot higher levels to be able to kill them quick enough to get quick charms.

So then shouldn't roaches be the crowded ones, and waterfiends be abandoned?

I tried the roach soldiers yesterday after I read this, and didn't do nearly as good as people are saying. I was killing them almost twice as fast as I can kill Waterfiends, but I got about 1/4 the charms that the Waterfiends give me per hour.

 

 

 

Now, the law rune drops were great, and the rune scims and square shields made me a fair chunk of GP, but for charms I'm going to stick with Waterfiends.
