NJE03 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just tried some f2p dungeoneering with my two brothers, since we were a little bothered. Haven't tried dungeoneering since the first month, where I got level 71 :) anyways, I stumbled across a room with a mercenary leader, and what the hell? How are you supposed to beat a level 200 mercenary, plus mages, warriors and rangers - all in tier 11 gear, hitting 400's? we were slaughtered, even with all the food we could get. Are there some good ways to handle these rooms, that might be good to know? :) The best way I know is to go in and fight leader until there are many spawns and then gatestone out to let them dissapear. Reapeat until complete. It's not fast by any means but you don't die.

Guthorm Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Mercenary room in f2p is hideously overpowered, you better hope Jagex changes this. [Guild Wars 2-In game screenshot, the MMORPG you are waiting for. Click for thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sees_all1 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Also, pray mage and only mage. Try to keep your avatar to the wall as well, so the warriors get blocked out. Only thing worse than getting piled by everything is getting piled by everything and being bound in the center of the room, with the leader 2 spots out of reach. :wall: 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atestarossa Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks. We did range him, with protect from magic on. Only thing is that we tried running around to avoid the meleers instead of spotting them. Might have made things a little more difficult. And the rangers were just terrible. I pity my youngest brother though, with a level 80'ish account. I think he died like nine or ten times by the time we were finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I was done it I had fished out every spot (even heim crabs) and spent all but 5k of my GP (mined all ores / cut trees for GP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkbullet3 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Make sure the gate is far from the Merc door. Like, far. Far. Ok, not that far. But far enough so the Merc minions think you guys aren't close to them anymore. ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirIzenhime Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Make sure the gate is far from the Merc door. Like, far. Far. Ok, not that far. But far enough so the Merc minions think you guys aren't close to them anymore. God, it's so annoying how people don't know this. If the merc leader is in view, he will keep spawning them. All you have to do is run far enough way so you can't see him, and he stops spawning them.Of course though...people just stand at the door...thinking to themselves "Wow, he keeps spawning them...[Quits]" Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcingisbad Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 It's better to let only one person do the ferret room.Sometimes scaring the ferrets isn't even necessary. Just stand next to them and they'll move a couple squares. R.I.P. Neko :[5,445,898,965th to 99 WoodcuttingBlogs are dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I honestly didn't know about the merc leader detection trick. I didn't know about the ferret trick before either (read: a while ago when the puzzle was released). :oops: Then again I only encountered the merc room like once or twice. And can someone confirm that dg armor has soak bonuses? I heard when the soaking update was added, dg armor was not affected (and therefore still not worth using).

Riemis Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Anyone else tried this before? Complete vampire slayer in f2p with 1 str, ranged and magic :)My cmb lvl was 15, lower should be possible with a LOT of luck, since this guy despawned like 2 times while I was killing him, resulting in me having to go back to varrock for a new stake.Also, with 30 attack i was still missing like 40% of the time.
