Quyneax Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've been hunting waterfiends lately, and reading through the waterfiend hunting guide I found some things. Firstly, you lack pictures of chaotic maul setups, so I thought I'd post one: This is a maxed setup save one thing, a fire cape, which would further improve it. If you do not have a unicorn or soul split, you will take quite a lot of damage so I wouldn't recommend it then. Secondly, you should always use piety or turmoil. The potions will pay for themselves. If we assume you can kill 160 waterfiends per hour with prayer, and about 20% of that is from prayer (due to higher attack and strength) you would need to get around 2k loot per fiend to break-even without taking into account charms. I find 2k loot per fiend approximately correct over about 10 hours of killing them. Thirdly, the Saradomin sword is slightly better than the Zamorakian spear, though it only trains strength. The chaotic maul is again slightly better than the Saradomin sword even with its low speed. Probably the weapon to use after this is the ancient staff with a dragon defender, offering +63 crush attack and +56 strength bonus (same speed and 3 more accuracy than the sword but also 26 less strength). With a void deflector and barrows gloves you obtain +52 crush attack and +62 strength bonus, 8 and 20 less than the sword, with 25 more magic defence as well. The staff does have a small negative prayer bonus. Korasi's sword is a great special weapon for Ancient Cavern fiends. Of the alternate setups, dwarven helmets and infinity boots are not worth using. The helmet of Neitiznot and dragon boots are better. Skillcapes are also not good to use, unless no alternatives are available. The prayer setup is incredibly outdated now with elite void, which will perform far, far better in any situation. The chaos tunnels section mentions turning on berserker. This doesn't work with overloads. Also, the additional prayer consumed by berserker uses more inventory space and money than simply using more boost potions. EEE is a better special weapon than Korasi's here of course due to it being multicombat. The ranged section does not yet include void deflector setups, but I don't have one ready at the moment. Throughout the guide a dragonstone ring (i) is used, but a berserker ring (i) is superior for melee setups, and an archer ring (i) for ranged setups. I think that's it for now :P.

Quyneax Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 He had a thought that KS isn't actually good for the ancient cavern cause it hits multiple fiends and draws aggro... :lol:.
