skelletal wyverns

[pulli23]

Hi there,

 

I'm having a task of skelletal wyvern.. And I notice the huge price tag on their bones at the moment.. So I'd like to kill them and store the bones.

 

My combat stats are:

90 attack, 91 str, 91 def

80 pray, 68 summoning

 

89 ranging.

 

 

Untill now I only used the safe-spot method for ranging.. But that is pretty slow. Is there another (better?) method for killing them? I'd like to gain a bit money on the task though (will bank all bones).

 

If I were to melee them, what would be the best outfit? (no 10M+ items though), and also no Chaotic weaponry yet..

Bring your best melee defense gear (hopefully Barrows or Bandos armor), an elemental/mind/body/dragonfire shield, your slayer helm, and a CLS/rapier/whip. Pray against their ranged attacks and just kill them. You'll need prayer potions and some degree of food, but you'll have to experiment with how much. You'd probably be able to get away with monkfish, otherwise shark/pineapple pizza. If you have Korasi's, that would be a great special because it slices right through wyverns' high defense. Otherwise, enhanced excalibur is likely your best bet, or else maybe a d mace (they're weak against crush and I imagine dds 0s a LOT).

 

For familiar, war tort is your best bet if you're keeping the bones.

 

Have fun! They're pretty slow and annoying, but they do drop some pretty nice crimson charms (2 per drop, they drop crims every 2 or 3 kills.)

whip is in general better than korasi's? ow and don't you need anti dragonfire/pray mage?

are you misunderstanding korasi to be two handed?

 

anyways, your stats are honestly, a little low for wyverns.

I'd skip them if I were you.

The money from them isn't justified if you can't kill/bank fast enough.

 

I think the major cut offs for skeletal wyverns are pack yaks and soul split.

Oh sorry, I meant Korasi just for the special attack. Whip as primary weapon for sure, it's a lot better than Korasi.

 

Wyverns have three attack styles- melee (the weakest), range (stronger than melee), and breath (strongest). The breath isn't affected by any kind of armor (besides the requisite shield), potion, or prayer, so you just have to tank it out. They don't have magic at all.

I'll never skip tasks lol, that's out of the question at all!

 

But the above were 2 questions:

-Is stab good at wyverns (like at mithril dragons)

-Don't you need mind (etc) shield AS WELL as anti dragonfire?

-And isn't praying mage the best if wielding high melee/range gear?

[green9090]

I answered the other two, but no, stab is awful at wyverns. Even with a chaotic rapier you want to slash them rather than stab. They're weakest to crush, but there aren't any good one handed crush weapons, so you have to either use slash or tank the full breath and use chaotic maul (people do this, it works well but is somewhat dangerous).

Not Sure

No, anti dragon shields dont work only dragonfire shield and if u mean antifire pots they dont work

Pray mage does nothing to affect their breath attack as it's like the dragonfire att of blues/greens ect. Therefore pray range is perfered.

Pray piety. If you don't, you'll be hitting EVEN MORE zeroes.

went a round without summon just to see how the food/prayer potion thing ought to be: and I managed to kill them faster than I could eat my food (sharks). with only using either piety or prot from range (both was even overkill)

[Quyneax]

That's a good sign, and a sign that you should be using cheaper food (monkfish) :thumbup:.

I find stab and slash to be about equal with the rapier at Wverns, though I do use x pots and turmoil.

Unless something has changed, protect magic does reduce damage from icebreath sans shield, however the prayer will allow it to max around 200 where the shield will only allow it to max around 100.

I'm not sure if this is true, but it definitely doesn't stack with the shield, so it's a moot point.

I was just recently doing them in my basic setup + mind shield. (whip, fury, bandos torso, verac skirt, warrior ring, d boots, barrow gloves + mind shield).

 

I just took a terror bird pouch, an extreme set, 3 prayer pots, and filled up on monk fish. (and a slayer ring for teleporting to the fairy ring + house teletab to tele out)

 

When I arrived I summoned the terror bird for storage and timer.

 

About 30 crimsons and 30+ kills (not sure how many to be honest -> terror bird + most of inventory filled with bones) in less than half an hour.

 

Half an hour is about my attention span nowadays for combat, so it suited me fine.

 

Went a few times. Got a clue scroll and an effigy.

 

I used soul split for extra healing and had leech defense on all the time. They hit regularly, but not that hard.
