Melee training at monkey skeletons?

Featured Replies

1) Well I was thinking that Dharoks with salve(e) at monkey skeletons might be good for melee combat. Is this a good idea? I haven't had time to try this yet, has anyone else tried to train here? Especially with multi combat zone, I was thinking that you could use a combat familiar to further increase xp.

 

2) I also wanted to know if monkey skeletons ever become non-aggressive.

Thanks for the reply, do you know if the technique is to just stand where chinners stand to avoid getting hit by falling rocks?

This guide should be of interest to you, obviously you'll be looking under the melee subsection :thumbup: .

Thanks for the great guide, but why do you want to just mostly kill the monkeys, and then let something else finish it?

Your max hit with dharoks is like 100. Your iron titan's max hit is like 20. If the monkey is at 20 life left, if you let the iron titan finish it, you don't really "waste" much xp. But if you hit it with your axe, you give up 80 damage (320 xp) that you could have had if you whacked a fresh monkey.

another method to kill almost dead monkies is with a whip(or d scim/ss if you don't want att/def xp)

oh ok, I thought it had something to do with the monkeys bursting into flames if you didn't attack them soon enough. But that loss of xp makes sense. Thanks to everyone who posted.
