March 21, 201016 yr Ok so im not the biggest monster hunter but lately i've become very bored of training skills and working on cb, after 90 attack and 85 slayer i was thinking of either doing some monster hunting(GWD, KBD, CE, GM, TW, ect.) and i was wondering which ones i can do with my stats(provided i should be 90 attack and 95 hp by this time). I know for sure i can do KBD, Giant Mole, Tormented Wraith, and Chaos Ele(not solo however) and KQ but i perfer NOT to go here as last time i died very quickly ): but i was wondering what else i can do. EDIT: For GWD, i have only been to a boss monster 1 time and that was Zamorak and due to a failed tank i got crushed so im still very new to killing the bosses. (zammy and bandos to be more specific because i've never been to Sara or Arma as i dont believe my stats are good enough yet.)
March 21, 201016 yr Dk. They are my favorite boss by a lot. You should be able to hybrid no problem with your stats. Maging might be a little difficult with only 80, but still you could do it.

March 21, 201016 yr Well you already know some of the things you could probably hunt, solo or with a team/duo. As you said - KBD, GM, TW, KQ you can solo and CE you can do maybe in a team/duo so just work from here in gaining an understanding of bosshunting. I think that when you do WGS you'll be able to do TD's..... Albeit not excellently, however you'll be able to do well enough. The thing that's limiting you with the boss hunting is no unicorn. For the majority of bosses now a tort or yak filled with brews and restores and a couple of pony pouches can even see a person like me solo a couple of Gaaradors if I wanted to. DK's might be an idea. However I don't really know much about them. But yea, currently stick to what you know and see how it goes then expand into different things like GWD. Also another thing that might be useful is that when the herb market stabilises again try and get to ~85 or is it 88 herblore, and get extremes which will help you find teams on RSOF and here. People will give better answers than me obviously because I'm new to bosshunting too; but would love to start doing it when my lappy is not so laggy and crap. Happy Hunting :)(though just as a little note - some people prefer slayer to boss hunting as it's steady and "safe" income ;) ) And why not challenge jad? :) one of the hardest soloable boss monsters in the game. Which will surely be easy to get to now with the 99 defence. I got my fire cape with 85 def and 70 range. :) Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D
March 21, 201016 yr You could honestly do almost every boss, except arma due to fairly low range, with a small team. I've been to every boss and my melee stats are far worse than yours. Just start easy and work your way up. The more experience boss hunting you have, the more bosses you can try and the more expensive gear you should feel safe bringing.

March 21, 201016 yr Author Well, i recently tried dk's and while i did get a axe drop on my first kill(im guessing either their fairly common or i just got very very lucky) i wasnt able to stay there for more than 1 kill with my stats using guthans maging with CoG and Void Mace (i was using a guide on the AoW). I went to the CE with a few friends just a little bit ago and got smoked so bad, KBD i know i can solo because i've done it before, and Mole is honestly IMO worthless because the drops are horrible. So...that being said, how about doing duo/trio at bandos? i've never been here before but i really want to try it out. Im also thinking about trying some of the other things like DK's again if i can get more experience or a better team because i think that either a horrible team OR no experience caused me to tele out before we could finish off prime.
March 21, 201016 yr Bandos is really crowded. And how did you only get one kill maging with 99 defense and full guthans? What went wrong? Help drive change Canada
March 21, 201016 yr Author I think what it was is that when we almost had prime out, one of the other teamates(we was tribriding) got supreme on him and when my 2nd teamate turned to attack supreme that left prime and rex (who respawned on me unfortunantly) on me and ended up getting me to 50 hp before i could heal i was forced to tele out.
March 21, 201016 yr I would never suggest tribriding. Every time I've tried failed. I would suggest starting at maging, you should easily be able to get atleast 40 kills solo. Hybriding is a little bit harder but much more fun. I can get 20-30 kills solo with lower melee stats than you. but your range is a little low to solo hybrid.

March 21, 201016 yr Author dont you think ill have some trouble soloing since i have no experience at it?
March 21, 201016 yr Yes. I'm just saying that once you get a few trips with a teacher you will get the hang of it then can solo. Once you know what you're doing it's very easy. (If I get a dag task sometime soon, I'd love to go and teach you.)

March 21, 201016 yr Author okay sounds awsome! i really want to learn how to do dks as it seems really fun to do, just a matter of getting the idea i suppose xD
March 21, 201016 yr Add me in-game. I thought about it, and when I have time I'd love to teach you. [99 Cooking][99 Magic][99 Fletching][99 Range]DK drops: Berserker:15/Axe:30/ Warrior:14/Archers:15/ Seers:10/ Mud:6/ Total:90GWD Drops: (Bandos: 1x Hilt, 1x BCP, 2x boots)
March 21, 201016 yr Author k ill add you, what setup do i need to do this? Currently i use Guthans HelmGloryGuthans PlateGuthans SkirtDragon BootsGuthix CapeBarrows GlovesRoL / WealthVoid MaceBss (cant afford DFS) not sure on invo but i know ill be using a tort xD P.S ill be on in a bit im currently at work and doing this off my phone.
March 21, 201016 yr Not too sure; but hopefully this link might help you. It's actually a topic from this forum. anyways, could be a little use, but I don't know as I don't DK :) I'll leave it to you and thewizard to sort out DK Happy Hunting Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D
March 21, 201016 yr I prefer Verac's over Guthan's because I have a Titan to heal me. Guthan's will work well with a tort. Repace the dragon boots with a magic-based boot. i.e. Infinity/Mystic. RoL are good for your first few trips, but a seer's ring would probably be better once you get the hang of it. I personally believe that a BSS is better than a DFS with Verac's, but with Guthan's a DFS is really good and will be a worthy investment one day. A fury is a whole lot better than a glory, but atm they are very high in price and may not be worth the extra cash.

EDIT2: Ezkaton, i looked at the link u sent me but the problem is for the setup that person is using they have a yak & unicorn which i dont, so what should i take in place of that?
March 21, 201016 yr For your inventory take about 8 brews (yes, it's a lot, but only for now. Once you get the hang of things you should only bring 2-4) And the rest Super Restores. You should last a very long time with that setup and an experienced duo partner. About the Void mace: I would either use a SOL and a fire wave spell (costly) or use the regular mage arena staff. (The annoying-can't-autocast-way. <_< )EDIT: Either bring bunyips for after your tort runs out or bring more torts to bank the extra bones at the end of the trip.

March 21, 201016 yr Sorry I wasn't looking at the forums for a bit. Anyways as the wizard says either add more torts to the invo to try and keep some bones and renew when needed, or if that's a hassle, take some bunyips.

March 21, 201016 yr Author ok my dk trip was a fail i figrued out thats obviously not for me lol, umm anymore good suggestions?
March 21, 201016 yr Maybe try out some zammy. With a gs you'll probably be pretty good. 99 Range 9/13/0999 Defence 5/29/1099 HP 7/20/10
March 21, 201016 yr Author well my first time going to zammy i was alot lower than my current stats and thank to a failed tank i got ko'd in 1 hits...although i might be willing to try it out once my dk gear sells and i can get most of my money bk
March 21, 201016 yr ok my dk trip was a fail i figrued out thats obviously not for me lol, umm anymore good suggestions? Well I'm getting my attack and strength to 90 at some point soon too so when my computer is fixed I'll be more than willing to take you along with some of my friends to GWD. Also when I get around to questing I'll again be more than willing to take you TD duo with me. But yea, look on RSOF and see if you can find any masses going to GWD.
