Hi, i just got my 1st task of dark beasts since getting 90 slayer (yay me!) Can someone post an inventory setup? i checked Axe man jack's guide, but its a bit out of date. i can use sgs, whip with fally shield, proselyte armor, ardy cloak 3, and slay helm.

Pray melee, it will occcasionally use mage attack (like 1 in 10 beasts) a sgs spec will heal it fully dw

i would dump the fally shield and get a rune defender or a zammy book, since you have alot of prayer from your cape

Slayer helm, fury, barrows gloves, fire cape, whip, defender, proselete, d boots, ring of wealth

Here's what I do:

 

Helm: Slayer Helm

Cape: Fire

Amulet: Fury

Weapon: Whip

Body: Proselyte

Shield: Defender

Legs: Proselyte

Gloves: Barrows

Boots: Dragon

Ring: Berserker

 

Inventory:

Special Weapon: AGS/SGS/DDS

Full Mourner's (6 items)

3 Super Attack (4)

3 Super Strength (4)

2 Terrorbirds/Tortoises

Holy Wrench

Teleport out

1 Super Restore (4)

10 Prayer potions (4)

 

In your familiar, have either 12 or 18 prayer potions, depending on whether you have a terrorbird or tortoise.

 

A terrorbird is enough for a small task (150), but you will need a tort to finish a 200 task without rebanking.

 

Use piety and protect from melee.

I use a Z Spear instead of Whip + shield. Reason: After every SGS spec I only have to re-equip one item, not two. Equipping two items gets old after awhile, plus the Stab attack is pretty good I've found. Still bring Fally Shield 3 for free prayer.

 

Now with the quest Within the Light, you don't need Mourner's outfit anymore! :smile: Bring a teleport crystal (after talking to Eluned about getting a new teleport spot) to teleport in near dark beasts.

 

So yeah, Slayer Helmet, Proselyte Chest/Legs, Dragon Boots, Fury, Zerker, Z Spear, best RFD gloves you can use, trimmed skillcape...think that covers armor.

 

Inventory: I always have the top row with coins, slayer ring, karamja gloves (to tele out) and SGS. If you have 85 mining bring a rune pickaxe. I usually make 2 trips if the task is 170+. With maxed melees, a 4-dose super attack/strength combo should last you around 100 kills (assuming you don't piety). Bring like 4 prayer pots, 8 if you wanna knock the whole task out in one go. Food in remaining inventory spaces is totally optional, it won't last long. Don't leave prayer on 100% of the time, make the dark beasts chop your HP down to save a few prayer points, then SGS spec your HP and prayer back up. After awhile, repeat. Never let your spec bar stay at 100%, use your SGS!

 

I hope you get lucky, happy slaying (I've had 5 dark bows in my past 5 tasks there)

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread, and hopefully I'm just clarifying for the OP, but does anyone else use a Zammy Spear at Beasts? I plan on getting 90 Slayer sometime soon, and I'd like to know if this is for real. Stab owns them, or is it really any better?

Stab is about equal to Slash. When you talk to Duradel about giving you tips on how to slay dark beasts, he'll say they have a resistance to Crush. Which means, take your pick of stab or slash weapons. Only reason I use Z Spear is because it takes up 1 invo space instead of 2. You could use a S Sword just as well (no reason to keep it after 99 strength)

After you finish Within the Light, you can speak with Eluned to have an extra teleport added to your elf crystals to teleport you near the temple of light so you don't need the mourners outfit anymore. :wink:

 

 

Does it give you a choice when you click 'teleport'?

Because I like going to the village for the fruit tree.

Pray melee so wear proselyte.

 

They only mage if you attack them (they are always aggro) so you never get hit as long as you let them get the first hit.

 

They are weak to slash and have a lot of HP so a godsword on slash is marginally better than a whip/def combi here.

 

I use a BoB to carry pots so I can go whole trip without banking, a lot easier with the new teleport after Within The Light, and yes it gives both options.

A whip and defender gets faster kills, although a godsword is more accurate in one hit of each. Because you get three whip hits per two godsword hits, the whip gets faster kills.

 

The Zspear bit is rubbish: the poster was just too lazy to re-equip two items at once :P

 

EDIT: it is 3:2, not 3:1. Sorry about the confusion.

Sorry, that was a typo. I'm aware that it's 3:2. But it has been shown that whip has higher DPS.

It gives you a choice of either spot. :grin:

It really is down to luck.

 

I prefer a godsword on high HP monsters like Dark Beast's or Abby Demons, purely because you can hit so much higher, its worth sacrificing a hit if you get 2 55's as opposed to 3 30s. You are more likely to hit high twice in a row than you are thrice in a row so it makes it worthwhile.

 

However, yes, sometimes I am beaten by a whip/def. So it's all luck.

 

Obviously if you are hitting low HP monsters then whip/def is better.

I can't get Eluned to enchant my crystal to go to dark beasts after the quest. What do I need to do?

You talk to her with a fully charged crystal in your inventory, the chat itself is self explanatory.
