Skeletal Wyverns?

[Junkieman]

Went to Durabell for my 80th task, and he's given me like 53 of these things, but I know nothing about them! How to fight what to take etcetc! How does one go about slaying these? I'd skip/cancel, but I haven't got that many slayer points having bought stuff and that, so I'm looking to not skip the task if I can help it, besides I'm probably gonna have to take them on sooner or later anyway. But yeah, basically...uhh...how should I do them! My stats are in ye olde signachurrrre :) Thanks in advance!

This guide explains wyverns pretty well.

QFC: 98-99-703-58532304

 

AA. Skeletal Wyverns

 

Amount Assigned: Duradel, 40-79?

Hitpoints: 204

Location: Ice Caves (Dungeon South of Rimmington)

 

Approximate charm drop percentages:

Gold: 20%

Green: 4%

Crimson: 100%

Blue: 4%

Summoning to Slayer xp: 1.99 to 2.60

 

Skeletal Wyverns drop charms in piles of 2, so the actual percentages were multiplied by 2.

 

There definitely is reason to cancel Skeletal Wyverns, since they're quite a slow task, but I think they are worth doing since they drop a LOT of crimson charms (I average 1.5 to 2 crimsons per minute while killing the Wyverns) and also have a high visage drop rate. The occasional granite legs will more than pay for your expenses as well.

 

To get to the Wyverns, use the AIQ fairy ring code.

 

Range is often suggested, since there's a way to range without taking any damage, but is much slower than melee.

 

Wear the typical melee equipment with an elemental shield, or, preferably, a dragonfire shield. For your top and bottom, wear Bandos or Guthans/Torags/Veracs/Dharoks.

 

It's debatable whether you should use cannon or not, since it only helps a little bit and wastes 5 inventory spaces on the first run (only 1 the second run though). Personally I'm unsure whether cannon should be used.

 

In either case, simply melee the Wyverns with Piety and Protect from Melee. Even if you don't usually use Piety you might want to use it here since it helps a LOT.

 

Suggested inventory-

 

A teleport

Holy wrench

Dragon dagger(p++)

Lunar or Dramen staff

1 super set

9 prayer pots

High-healing food in extra space)

 

(Familiar: Beast of Burden with more food, or a Bunyip or Unicorn)

 

The Wyvern* hit hard; I'd be surprised if you could do a task in one trip without using a Unicorn Stallion or Pack Yak.

 

With maxed stats, including one bank per task, about 19k slayer xp can be gained per hour.

Their rather easy, i average 16 kc using the range method and 20 kc meelee'in.

 

with range i have to pray but melee i dont so i save a ton of prayer pots and get more kills.

[fattehPumba]

you can safespot these and do ur entire task in one run

somewhere in AoW search for misunderstood monsters =)

[bigboi18184]

Even with the safe spot you have to use prayer.

Even with the safe spot you have to use prayer.

Only until they become non-aggressive, after that they are completely safespot-able. Just make sure to read the last page of the aforementioned AOW guide, I posted some pics on how to lure them after the RuneTek5 update.

Thanks for the advice guys, didn't get round to doing the task yet and I'm on a short break as my members was up yesteday, but I'll bear all this in mind for when I return to the game. I think I'll probs melee anyhow, for speed and ease, not range's biggest fan, but all the info was much appreciated!
