Waterfiends or Dust Devils?

Recommended Posts

Dust Devils aren't really good droppers of Crims as much as Waterfiends. Even if they are FASTER to kill, that doesn't mean you will get more Crims/hr. Waterfiends are one of the best Crim droppers in the game. I'd say you could use the triple charm bonus on Wyvern tasks too.

Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

If you had less than 70 attack (i.e. no access to decent crush weapons), there might maybe be a case for dusties, maybe, I dunno, would need to test it. That's not the case here, though, aye? Waterfiends are gonna be better.

Be sure to do chaos tunnels waterfiends. 150-170 crims in 40 minutes with triple charms works out to about 80/hr without triple, which is really really really low. At your stats, considering your dungeoneering level and assuming no goliaths, you should be getting 120/hr at least simply meleeing, 150/hr with your iron titan in the chaos tunnels.

LOL I must have dome something wrong. I got my a$$ kicked. I lasted about five minutes before I was out of food. I was wearing Karils, and when I had on deflect magic, I got nailed with ranged. When I had deflect missiles, I got pummeled with magic attacks. Turmoil only served to speed up my demise. Yes I used extreme defense and strength and a Zammy spear.

I wound up in the ancient cavern and ended with 133 crims. Not bad...

You are supposed to use soul split the entire time they are aggressive.

133 crims is really bad, that's like 65/hr. You should just keep soul split on and kill fiends ASAP. You don't need food.

I got a late start since I left the chaos tunnels and then went to the cavern. Not sure how much more than an average of 60-70 an hour you think would be realistic. My best was 170 or so but I usually average 150. Granted that may *seem* low but I don't believe for a minute that the average is much higher. I'm sure people have POSTED they do 100+ an hour or something, but it's pretty common knowledge there's bs factored into most people's posted stats.

I also tried soul split. with no protection from mage or range my health bar went down faster than I could replenish it with food. No doubt I just need some practice.

I get about 140/hour in the ancient caverns... It's not hard to achieve. (Maul extremes void)

My average was 130/hr and slightly going up starting at ~85 melees with turmoil/extremes/void/sw cape/berserker (i)/fury/dragon boots/maul, I haven't done pure off-task cavern fiends since 90ish melees w/ ovl/turm/void/fcape/maul/dboots/berserker (i)/fury but then I got about 130 as well, maybe another 3/hr extra. Since you are 99 melees with turmoil and extremes, you should be easily able to get 120/hr, if not 130/hr, even with zspear. Should be noted that Karil's may be better offensively if you do not have a maul.

 

My best triple charm trip was over 400 crims in 40 minutes using iron titan + overloads + cmaul on task + max strength gear with Karil's top + bottom. I got quite lucky with crims though (and few blues) but that doesn't change that you are doing something really wrong.

 

Common things:

  • Waiting for a fiend's death animation to finish and looting before attacking the next fiend.
  • Not drinking a new set of boost potions until the previous has worn off entirely.
  • Not using the turmoil prayer at all times.
  • Fighting entirely on auto-retaliate and/or afking.

So you're telling me you killed on average 3-4 waterfiends PER minute? One every 15-20 seconds?

Sorry for thread hijacking but with my stats and soul split, can I manage in void? Last time I went I got hit pretty hard in void but managed to hang on, but that was with rapier. I am guessing it will be easier with maul.

You should be able to survive if you don't draw aggro. Void however isn't worth it since you lose helmet scrolls.

 

@ Jetset: Yes I did.
