Dust Devils Still Good Training?

Featured Replies

In chaos tunnels with b2p? I will be training defence. If they have become obsolete what are some other better places for me with my stats (see sig). Thanks all in advance.

If you want to train Summoning as well, then they are definitely the best. If you're focused only on combat skills, they're still good, but you could probably get better xp at Armoured Zombies or Ankous. I would still recommend them anyways, because if you plan to train Summoning in the future, Dusties drop loads of Crimson charms.

They have low defense, do not hit very high, have a decent amount of hp, have good charm drops, and have decent drops(take alchs).

 

 

 

I would not camp down there for too long, though.

 

 

 

Or anywhere else actually...

Is that just cause you prefer not to camp? Just wondering, because Dusties are one of the best, if not THE best monsters to camp at in the entire game.

Dust Devils are bad for camping.

 

 

 

Aviansies, Armored Zombies, Abby Demons, Spiritual Mages, Zombie Monkeys, and Giant Skeletons are better.

^Im looking for something to train defence. I cant do armoured zombies and avainsies are well....a little high off the ground.

Disco_pig1.png

 

Aviansies, Armored Zombies, Zombie Monkeys, and Waterfiends are better.

 

Fixed. :D

 

 

 

Dust devils are great, but not the best. Stick with the best.

 

Depends if you want money or not.

 

 

 

I think you should do zombie monkeys until you can do armored zombies.

Dust Devils have crappy charm drops. Well maybe not crappy, but not anything much better than say, varrock guards.

I have to disagree there. I've killed Varrock Guards and I've killed Dust Devils. The Dust Devil charm drop is way better.

That is just...wrong.

 

 

 

There is not much else to say about that.

No, they are great for camping.

Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool

Dust Devils Still Good Training?

 

Not really, with your levels I'd kill ghostly warriors since you can use a salve amulet (e).

quit

I say, if you wanna do Dust Devils, do Dust Devils. The charms are pretty good, and summoning levels are never a bad thing. :D They're easy to camp at, and they aren't overly dangerous monsters. Maybe they aren't THE ABSOLUTE fastest, and maybe they don't THE BEST stackable drops, but so what? Do what you wanna do and what you find fun.

It would take less time to get the same summoning xp, melee xp, and money at a combination of Waterfiends, Armored Zombies, and Green Dragons.

there are better places but they still dont suck ill pick dusties over waterfiends any day thats 1 task for slayer on perm ban
