Tormented Demons

[SirIzenhime]

Well, I just did While Guthix Sleeps, and am interested in Tormented demons.

Now, I've never gone (i'll try a random test run tonight), so I don't really know what to expect.

 

Using my stats below, what would be a good armour and inventory setup to take?

What would be the best safe spot to use, and how to use it?

 

I have full Arma, full bandos, a few barrow sets, d claws, SGS, and 62m to work with, my only limitation is that I hate Pest Control, therefore, I do not have void.

Take...

 

Nez Helm > Verac Helm > Fighter Helm

Fury > Everything

Karil Top > Black D'Hide Body > ACP

Karil Skirt > Black D'hide Chaps > Arma Skirt > Tassys

Ranger Boots (I don't recommend these) > Dragon Boots

Accumulator = SW Cape > Other stuff --> Matters if you take hand cannon/crystal bow/karil's bow, or broad bolts

MA Rings (Diamond+) > Archer Ring > Warrior Ring > Zerker > Rol

 

Take Darklight, GS (any GS), D Claws for special, and Rune C'Bow + Broad Bolts

 

1 Unicorn + 75 scrolls, alch runes, sapphire lantern, 10 prayer potions, 2 ext range/atk/str pots, and sharks.

 

 

Use the north safe spot. Watch people lure for the first few trips, then try it on your own. Luring is really easy, and you shouldn't have any problem even your first attempt.

You can do some practice runs with cheap equipment.

 

Black d'hide instead of karils.

D hally instead of D claws.

 

Make sure you have lit sapphire lanterns in your bank for when you die.

 

I had trouble in the beginning with the luring, and couldn't assess properly on when to bail out. It's probably better if you are not too worried about losing expensive stuff in the beginning.

[SirIzenhime]

so is there any special way of getting to the north safe spot?

 

When I'm there, which demons would I be killing.

if you intend to go a lot, after a while you'll notice that you don't really need that extra bit of mage def from karils and you'd be fine sticking with dhide longhaul to avoid repairs. For the spots, I think that there is a guide in AOW that shows a few good 1 spawn lures.

You should get the 6 minute gravestone from Keldagrim if you haven't already, it's quite easy to make it back in that time if you die if you have spare lanterns in your bank.

Always the northwest and north center ones

I'm in a similar situation, having finished WGS a few hours ago. My stats are a bit lower though.

I'd be interested in what you guys have to say.

Also, if you'd like to try a duo trip, add me. Although admittedly, two newbies might not make for the best team.

Unless you are a noob like me and try for the spot a little bit deeper in, get piled by several TDs doing different attacks, and you die.

 

Then you return in time (with your 6 minute grave and a backup sapphire lantern in your bank as recommended), but of course those 3 demons are still there. And they pile you again. You die again.

 

7M lost in equipment.

 

Yes, that is how bad I am.

 

From a newbie experience then (i am definitely not an expert):

 

1. I first had to learn how to lure.

2. I had to learn how to prayer swith and equipment switch

3. I had to learn when to bail out.

4. Now I am learning how to be smooth with turning on piety and eagle eye.

 

Unfortunately I had to learn 1,2 and 3 together. And it has gone wrong several times. Ring of life saved me a few times. Teleing out saved me a few times.

 

The biggest problem I had was thinking that there is a solution to every situation regarding luring. But sometimes it just isn't worth it for someone who is as inept as I am. Sometimes there are 4 TDs hanging around the safespot. Luring 2 of the away works usually fine, with a 4th one it usually doesn't work so well for me. So nowadays I log out or of my inventory is low, I tele out and restock.

 

I'm using a newb outfit at the moment:

neitz helmet (lost verac's helmet when I died at TDs).

black d'hide body.

verac skirt

warrior ring

d'boots

fury

BGS (previously SGS) and rune c-bow with broad bolts.

Inventory: extreme def, att, str, range, prayer pots, some backup food and the regular stuff.

 

 

The most inefficiency isn't caused by lack of stats, it is actually caused by slow prayer/weapon switching, and failing to apply eagle eye and piety at the correct time.

 

I'm working on that. During the last run I actually started to manage applying piety and eagle eye. It isn't going completely bad. Once I am on a roll I get a TD every 3 minutes. But of course the pros will laugh at that figure.

 

End report from newb.

Piety/eagle eye are not worth the effort in my personal opinion, that's 2 extra clicks per prayer switch...but then again I personally don't use void either for the same reason and I've been managing 30/hr(27 per pony really) not sure exactly how much those things are expected to speed you up.

[Tempest_Mike]

Did you feel the need to triple post that?

[zotto]

So what is worth doing there?

[wioneo]

Of course it is more likely that I somehow miraculously circumvented tip it's frequent post limit twice than some sort of glitch occuring that multiplied a single post.

[Bladewing]

I use void and piety/eagle eye = 3 switches, plus prayer switches. It's not that hard once you get over the PANIC@@@ of prayer switching. Use your F1 and F3 keys for sure.
