pulli23 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi, I have a desert strykewyrm task and am wondering: what should I wield? Just standard slayer outfit (whip, excalibur, slayer helmet, soul wars cape, glory, proselyte top, veracs bottom, dragon boots).. Or something different (to handle the heat?) I'm allround 90 combat stats btw. First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Sy_Accursed Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The heat can do heavy damage so deffo good idea to take a few waterskins and/or enchanted water tiara.The tiara is a spacesaving option but it does mean sacrificing slayerhelm. Beyond that I don;t really know much about the desert wyrms Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannas Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 you dont need to pray on them, use standard defence gear and a bunyip and you will need no food. some people swap slayer helm for enchanted water tiara but imo its not worth it, you only need a few waterskins and it's pretty close to the bank. Take 1 or 2 emergency foods just incase you get whacked by their 300hp special Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matok Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I usually bring my usuall melee gear (bandos+dfs), 10 water skins,knife (there are some cactuses in the area) and a bunyip.it works ok for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Squab Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Shouldn't you use piety instead of ultimate str? o.O Last time I went there, I just wore my standard slayer gear and healed with uni when necessary. Didn't bother with waterskins. They drop them sooner or later and that worked well for me. If your really worried, just bring a few waterskins and a knife for the cactus there.

holiday Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I take 2 waterskins and go on lunars for humidify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythrandir Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I usually bring 2 waterskins and a unicorn. They drop 2 waterskins at a time every now and then, and the Uni should heal the rest, or just don't bother with waterskins and the Uni will heal that too. I actually bring EE too, but that's just because I don't pay attention and end up getting decked for 300 damage all the time by their underground attack. All your other gear is fine.

Slayer_Jesse Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 dont bother with any desert clothing. just bring 2 waterskins and a knife, cutting cactus and waterskin drops will cover you.

sohkmj1 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 A healing familiar will outclass all the water sources. Alternatively, they drop waterskins, which you can use a few to lessen the damage taken (not like desert strykewyrms do a lot of damage if you're alert).

jcrowley1985 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I personally wear an enchanted water tiara to neutralize the desert effect. But you might not want to do this if you don't want to sacrifice the slayer helm. So some people also bring 2 waterskins and humidify runes to keep refilling them.

In full armour bunyip doesn't come remotely close to covering desert heat damage and the only other healing familiar people use its unicorn and though that could keep up what an epic waste of scrolls it would be.

Jeffwilson99 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I take about 4, and a knife just case I need to top up. They drop 2 fairly often, so you can just cycle through them. Also, Shanty Pass is like a minute away, so you can buy more if you need. They really don't hit hard at all, it's only the special you need to look out for.

I'm halfway through a task now, bunyip, EE and dropped waterskins are more than plenty to ensure I keep at full health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I just bring a bunyip, end up SSing maybe 3 times total on an 120~ wyrm task. Bunyip+EE can keep most people up, and the wyrms themselves frequently drop waterskins. I would strongly suggest not using an enchanted tiara.
