Are Dust Devils worth it?

I'm only 3k away from 65 slayer, are they worth spending time on trying to get D Chain?

 

For a d chain, not even close.

 

But yes you should get 65 just because slayer is a good skill to train, and they are fast exp, crimson charms, and have some profit on the side. You may get lucky, but don't count on a chain and be glad for the drops that you do get.

Even if Dust Devils didn't drop a chain, I would still say do them. They are a fantastic task and slayer is simply a great skill to train. It's rewarding enough between the normal drops, charms, combat xp, and slayer xp to be worth doing even if they don't give you a chain (which, sorry to say, they most likely won't, but keep your hopes up because you never know).

For the Chain drop? No.

 

 

 

For all other things you might need? Yes.

 

 

 

They are a great slayer task, easy exp and fast. Also great crimson droppers and some decent money as well.

i was thinking the same thing myself but from cb exp to crimson charms i love doing dust devils, i was lucky enough to get a chain after about 1500 kills(wasnt after the chain but the crimson charms). Im actually killing devils now to get charms and train my attack.

if you enjoy it, it's worth it. If you enjoy slayer more sand would only do dust devils for a d chain...then it's not worth it.

Well let me put it this way. Two Whips are worth more than a D Chain. Fifteen D Boots are worth more than a D Chain. One D Claw drop is worth about six D Chains. I've had 145 D Boots, 37 Whips, and 5 Claws. I did get a D Chain, but it was from KQ and not Dust Devils. I've killed around 5k Dust Devils.

Campable good xp, along with nice crimson charms. 5-7th best dropper in the game confirmed by statistics.

 

Rather decent idea to go there if you really want to but themselves, they arent really worth it.

I dont need a siggy no moar.

Don't camp them for crimsons though there are much better monsters for charms.

 

There the ideal camping monster for a mix of charms (there about 1 in 3/4), combat exp and drops second to only (well that I can think of right now) AZ's.

 

 

 

Definitely continue with slayer, but if you do get them as a task (or kill them for the hell of it) there fast and good exp. They drop enough kebabs to keep me going with just the odd titan scroll here and there. At lower levels some monkfish and B2P tabs are enough.
