Dire_Wolf Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I know there are many monsters that have good drop rate of clue: Waterfiends, Aberant spectres, Hellhounds and so on. But what monster that drops level 3 clues would be the best to kill when you consider:1) How easy it is to kill it2) Drop rate The monster i was thinking would be best is Jellies, do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, then what monster would you suggest? Thanks. Remember, all i care about as drop is the Clue scroll. Hellhounds i would rather not go to:1) Hard hitter2) a bit rough defence.

Bladewing Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Greaters. They are very quick. And you'll get better charms, at least. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrutalxBrandon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Greaters like they said and green drags are pretty good too, easy to kill but most likely crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Green dragons - not good or bad clue drop rate.Greaters - good drop rate but to few spots and WIDE open areas with many players. So far Jelly is winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Brimhaven? Ogre Enclave? How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Brimhaven? Ogre Enclave?1) Brimhaven is quite a distance, and INFACT it's one of the spots that's crowed often.2) Ogre enclave is also a distance away and the Greaters are behind some fence. So have to ranged + telegrab.3) Greaters have 87 HP, Jellies 75. Greaters are great. But the area they are at (wide, so alot of roaming) and the amount of them, and also other players killing makes it not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umoria Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 There are Greaters in the Wilderness Volcano I believe, but they are spread out to. Maybe not much.I think the Jellie is winning here. Lots of them to kill, easy kill, and good drop rate. Maybe a test on this will give some insight. And I mean some, because getting a clue is a way of luck. "We had gay burglars the other night.

Bladewing Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm quite confident that all monsters that drop level 3 clues drop them at the same rate. So it's basically just which monster you can kill fastest. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 When I had my spiritual warrior tasks I had a clue about every 50 warriors. - Fighting only the saradomin warriors which were already fighting zammorak pets. Maybe you should look into those a bit? First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

meb Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm quite confident that all monsters that drop level 3 clues drop them at the same rate. So it's basically just which monster you can kill fastest.+1. I would go for spiritual mages because they're fast to kill and give the best money earned/hr ratio compared to the xp they give.

Norriie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 It's kind of out of the way, but I've had insane luck with clues at cave horrors.Back when I used to use sumona for my tasks, I would often get 3-4 clues in a task of 100 or so. On top of that there's black masks, which from my experience drop about 1/300. If that's too far away though, jellies are still a great option. I used to go there to farm for clues all the time.

pgmr185 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 cannon abby spectres = fast clues right? Even without the cannon they're OK, and I can pretty much guarantee that you'll make much more from the herb drops than you'll make from the clue scrolls anyway. I seem to get the most from Greaters, but unless you're on a slayer task they are usually crowded and inconvenient to get to. Mighty Banshees are also very good. They are harder to kill than Jellies but seem (at least to me) to have a much better clue drop rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HexiledRazz Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Clue drops are completely random. Your best bet would be camping at jellies. Because they're a lower level. Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0odspriteV2 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 But it seems that the clues from jellies are of much lower quality than otheres like green dragons. This is probably just my imagination, but doing 30 jelly clues getting nothing but random rune items and doing 1 green dragon clue and getting rune paltelegs (t) is a bit.... meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done plenty of clues from lower level monsters and gotten good rewards, and I've also done several clues from iron/steel drags and gotten junk. The rewards are totally random.

Jaded Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Aberrant spectres for me...1 task, 3 clues. Every task I get at least 1 clue, plus lots of heb drops with macaw.

Dire_Wolf Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Jellies it is. And the reasons why:1) Low hitpoints and defence2) Easy acessable (though this is not so important)3) One of best Clue scroll givers (My clue radar have picked Jellies up BIG TIME)4) Many Jellies5) Not crowded6) Max hit they do is 6. So Jellies seem best <3: Monsters like Gargoyles, Aberant spectres, Abyssal demons, Waterfiends, Spiritual mages and so on are good too. But they are alot tougher to deal with and less of. And it is true that Aberant spectres or Spiritual mage is good cash (give better than Clues will do), but my plan is to specialize in doing Clues. And i hope for a 3rd age. THANKS FOR ALL POSTS!
