Ice Strykewyrms

[transcript80]

I got a slayer assignment of so-many Ice strykewyrms.

I intend to mage them, but I cannot use the fire surge spell due to my magic level being <95.

Since they are succeptible to fire spells, would it be better to use a lower level fire spell or a higher levelled surge spell (water/earth)?

[Helm_Lardar]

I believe it would be better to use a fire spell, even if it is lower level. That makes sense.

 

But what is your magic level?

[AndJusticeForOne]

I hit well over 700 with Fire Wave. Don't even bother using anything that's not fire on them.

[transcript80]

My magic level is 91.

 

Is it possible/viable/efficient to keep it boosted with extreme magic pots to 95 and surge anyway?

[LatinII]

Do you have a wolpertinger? If not, then bring a Vecna skull. Normal magic potions run out way too fast to be worthwhile.

[Powerfrog]

I would definatley recommend potted fire surge. The extreme pot will increase your damage by a further 21% (when fully potted) and make the task go even faster.

 

Unless you don't want to waste extremes, in which case firewave is perfectly acceptable.

[Ezkaton]

I'd definitely vouch for potting for fire surge (I'm currently 92 mage 243k to 93).

 

Extreme Magics/Wolper aren't really worth it in my book until 93 mage when you get a good 5 mins or so of boost. Venca Skull, I'm not too sure on, never used it.

 

I personally set up with 4 overloads. Often that's too many (but I like to overkill my tasks ;) ) yet it's a good way to be constantly 95+ mage, get a good % boost to damage etc.

[transcript80]

"Wasting extremes" is ok, I don't have a wolpertinger (87 summoning).

Might try to extrme-surge, since I don't have over loads as well.

Well looking at your stats you have 92 herb, so it really wouldn't hurt to give stewing for Ovls a try? :)

[transcript80]

Stewing has never been a friend of mine. To achieve elite seers tasks, I got the herb level-2 to be able to use a greenman's ale (m). But thanks anyway. I might feel lucky some time...

[Quyneax]

You can use extreme magics, you'll have about 4 minutes per drink, so over a task of 1.5 hours (not sure how long you take) you'd use about 6 full potions.

[OrMockHim]

I don't know if it's a really [cabbage] method. But i went all in with Rapier, Turmoil, Overloads & Yak. Its the best task i can get. I say Melee!
