September 15, 201015 yr Your setup is fine except that there's no reason you should even be considering dwarven helm. That's just silly. Bring prayer potions, EE, super att/str, bunyip, swallow whole scrolls, and some food. Make sure you have some space for drops too. I would piety them (which would probably make Ardy Cloak better).

September 15, 201015 yr Without prayer: With Prayer: Pretend those Uni scrolls are bunyip scrolls. You use bunyip scrolls to eat the raw fish the waterfiends drop. You need the cooking level to cook the fish, so 80 cooking is almost necessary because waterfiends drop raw sharks. The scrolls are what allows you to stay for a while, you burn through the food you have pretty fast. I also re-pot when I reach 7 levels above my attack level, if I am using supers. With extremes, it's more like 11-13 levels above. Experiment around with the prayer setup, I don't pray there much, so you might need more or fewer prayer potions. I hope you are using the Fairy Ring to get in to the ancient cavern, I highly suggest unlocking that. Summon the first bunyip just before you go inside, at the obelisk near the fairy ring. This gives you a handy inventory spot to put those crimson charms into. If you have extremes, use them obviously. You can also wear a seers ring for more mage defense. But that should give you the basic idea. I definitely recommend getting a full slayer helm. The +10 mage defense that the hexcrest adds makes a noticeable difference on waterfiend tasks.

Dwarven helm gives +6 crush, so I wouldn't call it silly. But yes, Black mask/slayer helm is always the best option while slaying. Your setup looks fine, if you can, try upgrading to karils.If you can summon one, use a bunyip with Swallow whole scrolls. If you can't use a bunyip, pray range the whole time, if you can use one, praying may not be necessary. Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^
September 15, 201015 yr Author i wasnt sure about the d helm the tip.it guide had it and i wasnt sure why. because i am buying the z spear i dont really wanna spend more money and get karils also since i am just gonan sell it back anyway. i am trying to get a slayer helm. this is my last task for it btw. i do have the fairy ring unlocked ( i did it when i could get to kuradal). also no extremes for me. looks like ill be needing more bunyips and some scrolls. thanks for the helm guys. i think i know what i need to do. ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~
September 15, 201015 yr It's silly to trade off 6+ crush for a 15% attack and strength boost. My point was there was actually a reason for him considering it.... :rolleyes: Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^
September 15, 201015 yr I'd use piety as well, waterfiends actually have pretty high defence (and zspear is not as strong as whip + defender, so it's pretty slow without). Also I don't bother with the super defence, but if you don't pray it's best I guess.

September 16, 201015 yr Author so i guess my next question is to pray or not to pray? ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~
September 16, 201015 yr I'd highly recommend you pray, they have nice drops so most/all of the cost will be covered and it makes the killing a lot less stressful and faster. I piety if I have raw food/food on the ground and prot range if all I have is an ee spec and any cook sharks they've dropped. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots
