The tormented wraith is fast when it spawns. So you usually get at least 1 melee hit before you pray melee. You can avoid this by just unwielding any of your black items and then its unagressive untill you wield the black item again. Even I with 86 def gets 15+ hits almost every time.

 

Although it is a multicombat area, your familiar will NOT attack wraith, even if you use the familiar button "attack".

 

For cheap but effective results i use chaos gauntlets from the Family Crest quest. With those you hit 15's with a spell that costs only like 160gp per spell. Otherwise you would be wasting much more money.

 

So my glove advice would be to wear Chaos Gauntlets.

 

The best legs would be elite (when maging) as that decreases mage much less then black platelegs do.

 

Don't take too many prayer potions or you'll be left without any space. For me (83 mage with chaos gauntlets fire bolt) it drops more pray pots then i use with the recommended gear.

 

It drops blue charms quite often. Getting around 3 blue charms per 8 charm drops.

 

My invo would be

C A F P

P P P P

P P P N

 

leaves 16 spaces for drops (put some food in your inventory too for when you get owned at the start)

( 4 charms loads of noted stuff and cash from alchs maybe some herbs)

C = Chaos rune

A = Air rune

F = fire rune

P = Prayer potion

N = nature rune
