Aten Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 fsh, torso, tassets, fury, zerker, sw, ddef, whip, dboots, bgloves 2 super atk/str, dpick, EE, 2 bunyips, rest ppots. Pray piety through the task. Am I doing this right? First time I've got this task and I have no idea how to tackle it (or which lrc to even fight, for that matter...) so I'm just taking a blind guess at gear and invo (admittedly that's sort of a standard setup for slayer at my levels). Which guys do I fight / what area do I wander around in? Is the EE necessary at all or should I bring claws instead?

While they do have low defense, super attack potions will still make an impact. Besides they're super cheap, no pun intended. ~It's Super Effective!

Th e Doctor Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 My point was they wont make an impact. With the gear said he's using and his levels super attacks will add virtually no exp/hr at all. Yes they're cheap, they also are worthless on this task. Why spend the money when it isn't justified?

Nifflin Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Mostly good setup, most people hate this task but in fact it gives the best melee exp of any slayer task. They have some decentish drops but they are mostly stackable. You can kill either one, I like killing in the western room the best but if there is another slayer there you can take the north eastern room. Super attack potions can't hurt. The biggest advice I can give is that you DON'T MINE THEM. It will slow down the task by a lot, and make them a real pain. It is very inefficient to mine them so don't do it. If you want money it is better to not mine them and do your best moneymaker during the time saved. The mining exp is also bad. Also perhaps you might want to bring a spec weapon instead of EE but that's your call, you shouldn't need hp down there anyways, I usually go with dds and bunyip and turn on rapid heal if my hp starts to drop. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.

Th e Doctor Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Go ahead and test the exp rates yourself with/without super attacks. I've already done it and feel no need to do so again to prove something I've already proven.

Obtaurian Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just keep in mind that while LRC tasks have the best melee exp rate of any task, they have one of the lowest slayer exp rates. If you're not maxed melee, it wouldn't hurt to do them, but it depends on your priorities. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aten Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Mining them is very efficient if you can do it lossless ;). could you elaborate on this please? Also, I'm only 74 mining so maybe at my levels it's just not worth mining the remains? But yeah I just finished this task and noticed it to be fairly slow (though I did gain 170k atk xp in just over an hour and a half as well as about 40k slayer). Should I block these once I get max melee? Follow my road to 5.6/Gold Reaper/True Trim - DAT BLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'd skip not block, they are not that common, but I don't do them anymore. Lossless mining means you click to mine, then attack, then mine etc. until you get lucky and mine it in one tick.

Yes they're cheap, they also are worthless on this task. Why spend the money when it isn't justified?Unless you never miss, they will help. You aren't killing chickens. While yes, they have comparitively low defense to other slayer monsters and monsters of the same level, their defense isn't paper. It can be described as low, but still high enough to warrant use of attack-boosting potions. ~It's Super Effective!

Hegelstad Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 As i have understood it, higher attack also make you hit closer to your maximum hit? So it would definitely be worth it anytime.

Larinro Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Always go with the super attacks, they help even if its just a bit. Mining them is worth it you can easily rack up 600k in minerals at a added time of about 3-5 minutes if you do it right. Always kill them in the big eastern room theres plenty of them there and also the paritich or H/o you spell it spawns there ;) so its a nice bonus. If your still slugging it you could bring a cannon, it rips through them easily and can speed up your task tremendously however at a cost. (it also attacks one whilst you mine the remains) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodAngel Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would suggest taking a cannon with you as well, they really are a very slow and very boring task and while the cannon does make it costly, it saves you time and sanity which you could ultimately spend making the money back you spent anyway.And yes, use extremes or supers as I find it does make a noticeable difference, especially on Strikers.
