pkthedreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I currently use rune cbow with broad bolts but I found out these don't work against some of my slayer tasks like gargoyles. So which would be the best alternative to use against other slayer monsters, putting power, speed, and cost into consideration? Right now I'm thinking.. Iron knives or steel knives Mage short with addy or mith arrows Some other kind of bolts Thank you for your help. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevor92223 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 A crystal bow? The profit from tasks should pay for charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I used to use crystal bow a lot but after I quit members, for some reason it doesn't remember how many times I've charged it and I have to start all over. So if there is any alternative I am trying to stay away from it. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptbaker08 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Broad bolts. Thats what the OP is using, they wanna know what else works on tasks. Ones where rune cbow+broads arent as effective.

Wait does he mean not affective or not work cause if rune crossbow and broad arn't affective nothing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 No, they don't work at all. I'm guessing its because broad bolts are meant for kurasks and turoths which is why it doesn't work against other slayer monsters. 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were true then that would mean broabs wouldn't work on anything else, and we all know thats not true. Its just that gargs, like waterfeinds, are strong to most type attacks and only weak to certain ones. When using melee its best to use crush type weapons. Since you're ranging mabye try getting some of those Brutal arrows.

pkthedreamer Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 But gargoyles are exclusively slayer monsters. My theory is that they don't work on slayer monsters, not monsters that are assigned as tasks. Slayer monsters. I used 50 broad bolts on gargoyles and hit 0 every time. I'm using iron knives right now and am almost done with the task. Yeah, I will get some adamant bolts. Iron knives are too weak for my liking. 200.

Cptbaker08 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well i just killed some Gargs in Full Void with both rune cbow + Broads and Iron knives. I didn't have problems with either so you may have low range or bad range outfit.

Theoknight2 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yea and why would mith or addy bolts effect them differently when broad is just addy by a different name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah, I guess I was just getting really unlucky. And my range is actually 90 so I don't think low range was the problem. Well I guess I will stick with broad bolts then. Thank you for confirming it. :) 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkthedreamer Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 OHH that was it. I got owned cause I forgot nosepeg, tried ranging but failed, so banked sup restored to normal then bought iron knives. Haha, it all makes sense now. Well, I just got a 160 gargoyle task so i'm going to range them with rune cbow and broad bolts, and won't forget my nosepeg this time. Thank you so much. EDIT: There we go, those familiar 25's. 200.

Cptbaker08 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Oh i get it, ya those spectres can be tricky. I did my little test in the CT tho so no problem with Spectres.
