Living Rock Creatures

[Ezkaton]

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this task. I would wear my torags and veracs with FSH etc, y'know general slayer stuff. Take 2 unis, loads of scrolls, and my cannon.

 

However, I have some questions.

 

A. Which style is best? Slash or what?

B. Should I block them?

Crush annihilates living rock creatures; think of a weapon you would use for waterfiends and use it there.

 

Blocking them is a tough choice, I know a lot of people with them blocked and a lot who don't; I would say try out one task and see how much you/dislike them and choose after.

Well i'm the kind of person who see's any and all tasks in terms of exp..... Though I just blocked Kalphites as they're a money sink.

 

However thanks for that tip on crush. I'll probably use SS instead of ZS though. Although I need 130K exp for my attack level, I'd rather get single way exp than controlled into 99 defence :P

Whip + defender seems to rip through them as well, I don't think they're strong enough for the weakness to really mean anything. Turmoil also shows they got 0 defense (level).

They do seem weak, it's just HP that takes forever to get down.... Even cannoning. I generally used a whip and defender, super set, can't be bothered pietying as I'm cannoning, and then have monkfish in invo, but used a bunyip. Now I've got a unicorn, I've only got 8 monks and the pony.

 

Anyways yeah. They're a long task though at times. But 128 probably wont be too bad. I'll give crush a try, giving me a nice little boost to my goal of 87 or so strength by the end of this month.

 

 

Which would be quicker though? Piety or cannon?

I do both (with turmoil, that is). I think it's quite worth it, too.

Living rocks have like, no defense.

Go for the best DPS and prayer bonus you can.

I would definitely not block them. Pretty sure they're the fastest melee xp of any task, or if not the fastest, then at least right there near the top. They also have great drops, they're fast slayer xp, and they have low attack and defense. They're not great for charms and the slayer points are fairly slow, but otherwise they're quite good.

 

Piety and cannon are both good ways to speed up the task. If you're not using both, then I'd just use piety, but there's no reason why you couldn't use both.

 

Whip + defender is fine. The crush weakness doesn't matter much because their defense is so low to begin with.
