Zantareous Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm attempting to find the best monster to train on in F2P for ranged. I'm specifically looking for those weak to arrows (Catablepons, for example, are only weak to bolts). So far all I've found is Wizards, but you can't effectively train on those because of low/slow spawns. ---------- General question: What criteria is used to find efficient monsters now? Should I seek out the highest leveled monsters? It appears the best method of training now is finding monsters that are weak to the type of combat you're using (if this isn't truly the case, feel free to give me tips otherwise). ----- I'm also currently compiling a list of monsters and their weaknesses, visit here if you'd like to contribute. ---------- EDIT: I've answered my own question through some research, the answer is: Greater Demon: 29-30k xp/hr Hellhound: 29-30k xp/hr Lesser Demon: 29-30k xp/hr (24k xp/hr with momentum, weird huh?) Ghost: 28k xp/hr Warped bat: 28k xp/hr Deadly red spider: 26k xp/hr Flesh Crawer: 26k Catablepon: 24-25k xp/hr Hill Giant: 18k-20k xp/hr Giant spider: 17k xp/hr (not crazy-accurate, just good enough for comparisons; some of those stronger monsters won't actually be those values as you may have to bank/rejuvenate often [for example, I originally had deadly red spiders as 40k but when training on them I found they were actually 26k because of so much interruption) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 If something is weak enough, it doesn't matter what weakness they have. Minotaurs with AoE effects like Ricochet might be worth looking into.
