Strange Rocks - Help!

Featured Replies

Hi everyone! I'm a bit stuck with these strange rocks.

 

I am collecting them all for the second time around.

 

I have them all, apart from the second/last hunting one, I just can't get it!

 

I've been using deadfalls mainly, but also box-traps & bird snares.

 

I have gone from hunting level 42, to level 54 in 8 hours of trying, but still no second rock!

 

Does anyone have any advice or tips please?

 

Thank you! x

I finally got it doing falconry 15 levels later at level 57! Yay! ^^

Those who danced in silence were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

The Runescape Wikia mentions that using the falconry south-east of Piscatoris is a fast way to get the Hunter Rocks. I just hunt normally, doing the Giant Chinchompa Distraction & Diversion then using the points to go hunt Red Chinchompas. You also have a chance to get the rock when your trap fails to catch.

 

Good luck! :)

Thanks hun! I just thought after 12 levels I should have it! Bit stingy isn't it? lol x

Also, apparently bird snares do NOT have a chance to produce strange rocks, so you might want to stick to the other traps/falconry/Big Chinchompa.

 

Good luck! Hunter rocks always take ages for me too.

Thanks hun! I didn't know bird snares don't dish them out! It's just weird because I got the first rock after 2 minutes, but after 12 levels, still no second rock!

Sometimes at Draconic Jadinkos, it'll take me ~250k xp to get the second one :( that's like 500 catches

I'm currently at the falconry, well, next to there, hunting prickly kebbits!

Gone up another level, still no rock :sad:

The fastest way to get all the rocks is to switch the skill after you get a rock. E.g. You get a rock from Hunt, then you go to Smith, get a rock, then you either go back to get the second hunt rock or switch to another skill.

 

Good luck on getting them ;)

Terve, Kiitos!

 

It's the last one I need out of them all so I can't switch :( I've tried doing other skills for a little and keep switching back to hunting, but no joy!

But that advice is for the next statue week :P

Hunter was always the toughest one for me (I completed the statue finally and don't bother anymore). Falconry can take a long time too but it does tend to be the quickest. What really sucks is that falconry isn't at all profitable, unless you're willing/able to have a tortoise or pack yak and keep/sell the dark furs, and even that is not very profitable...

Thanks Jet! It's just such a pain >.<

From what I understand you are collecting them for the second time this week? You can only collect all 30 once a week.

No I handed the last lot in on the 23rd September, meaning I could hand them in again on the 30th, but I have all rocks apart from one which I'm just not getting at all! It's not I can't put them on the statue because I could have put them on last Sunday =[
