Jungle Strykeworm Help

[Residua]

This is my first task for these guys and I'm very unsure on how to approach them.

 

What would be the best way to kill them? (Attack style and equipment)

 

Thanks.

[crashNburn]

I melee them with the usual prayer equipment. Whatever your melee setup is, just take that. Not sure on which attack style is best, but I use a whip.

 

All I would think to mention would be super anti-poisons. Just don't forget em, I usually take two.

[Residua]

Okay, thanks, what should I pray?

[crashNburn]

Any boost prayers if you use em.

 

Should have mentioned that's why I take the prayer equipment, prot prayers are unnecessary, they melee usually and don't hit very hard.

[ImDaKing]

Okay, thanks, what should I pray?

Piety / chivalry or whatever gives you boost in attack and strength. No protection prayers needed while killing jungle strykewyrms, just use a healing familiar and a couple of monkfish/sharks. You should do fine because your defence level is high enough

[Residua]

Okay, thanks for the help! :D

[ImDaKing]

Oh and one more thing, don't forget to avoid their 300's. You will notice if the wyrm goes underground then rune a few steps away.

[UnknownRemoval]

Okay, thanks for the help! :D

I have this task just now. A cannon is also a really useful addition as the fast kills not only speed up tasks, but mean a lot less chance (almost miniscule) of them using their underground damage ability. :thumbup:

No real defence needed there, and as they drop more than enough defence potions and lobsters, using proselyte is propably the best there. If you are using extremes/rapier/turm you get around 4 special attacks from them for the whole task. Don't forget antipoisons.

[svs]

Here is what i use:

1 Cannon

~500 Nuts Balls (per 100 kills, 500 will be more than enough)

3 super antis dosis (per 100 kills i usually use two) (not required if you got an anti poison totem from dungeoneering)

3 super atk+ str dosis (per 100 kills i usually use two)

My melee suit; dragonfire shield (can replace shield with totem), fury amulet, slayer helmet, bandos chest, bandos tassets, whip, berserker ring, barrows guantlets, skill cape, dragon boots.

I don't use any food nor healing items nor do i use a weapon with a special (other than my whip) i usually kill the Wyrms before they can attack for a second time and i only get hit once out of every ~30 kills

100 kills task takes ~20 minutes with my stats gear and a cannon if i got the spawn for myself.

 

 

 

 

-Jungle Strykewyrms can only poison you if they deal damage.

-Jungle Strykewyrms drop super def dosis very often as well as dropping lobsters very often. 1:10 odds.

-When using cannon balls you'll spend approx thrice the amount of money on them as you would on prayer pots should you prayer trough the task, but a cannon is thrice as fast, unless ofcourse you got those high level prayers, maybe it would be faster then but i doubt it, it's not like you can hit four times in one second with any weapon while you can do that with a cannon. (Piety is not faster though)

-When using a cannon put it in on the open space to the north, right where the shore bends off in a corner.

-You can have your cannon attack a Wyrm when you run after the loot of the past 20 kills.

-Normally if you aren't [cabbage] out of luck you will make the money back you spend on balls or pots, ~500 balls per 100 kills, and ~500k Gp per 100 kills.

-Ofcourse you'll spend more money on balls than on prayer pots but as i said in the end you'll make it back and i favor getting it back faster :)

How can you cannon them? You need to hit the ground to make them come up, and the area isn't multi combat. Anyway, I would just go with normal melee gear and bring super anti-poison potions. If you have an anti-poison totem, then that will help considerably. Don't bother praying, unless you're one of these efficienty guys who piety's everything.

[zotto]

You can also use the cannon to assist you in your kills. For that you don't need to be in a multi-zone.

 

Another technique you can use in many cases is to stand in a safespot. The cannon will attack in that case multiple targets. This works for instance nicely with black demons in taverly dungeon.

[svs]

If you place the cannon in the center of the open area near the shore then there will always be 3-4 strykewyrms surrounding your cannon, you stomp one and your cannon will start shooting up to 4 times at once on one target..

 

When running for loot stomp a wyrm and let your cannon finish it off.

 

 

As i said, 20 mins per 100 kills.

 

You figure out if you wish to cannon them or pray them but i wouldn't just go kill them the old fashioned way, waste of time.

Anti-poison totem is useful for me. I don't recommend it if you hate Dungeoneering, though. It can be a bit boring to get 65...

[Infi]

Anti-poison totem is very bad for slayer as you're sacrificing your shield slot which can be used for the defender. Defender should always be used for every slayer task, unless in circumstantial cases (ie Dragons - although in optimal cases you'd be using Chaotic Rapier + a Defender on them). The cost of an anti-poison potion is really in fact negligible and miniscule and can actually be ignored during the task itself.
