JNASTY03 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well guys I have just got to 65 slayer, I know ya'll are probably think..."big whoop" and thats the problem...I'm thinking the same exact thing...I have been wanting this forever, I wanted the Notorious Dragon Chain drop from them...But now that I have the chance to go start the quest get down there and do some damage I don't want to anymore....I have read post after post about how "I kill 5000, 10000, 30000 dustdevils never getting the D chain"...now i'm a fisher, and a cook so have unlimited food for myself, I even hook all my friends up....But I started thinking I don't want to kill 10000 dusties and have no d chain to show for it; I mean I don't know about you all, but that would make me freak out..haha..but seriously is it worth it to do it, should I do it and only be looking forward to exp? It just feels like it might be a waste of my time when I could "atleast" be raising my slayer, or farming, or anything with my combat. I don't know how its their notorious drop so notorious when you don't get one. have fun with this OK I did the part needed for the quest, and started on getting some action with the dustdevils. So first run I kill about 65 dusties the first runÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæI knowÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæI know kinda lame I was thinking the same thingÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæbut that was just a trial run anyways this time IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll come more prepared. So far I got 2 r d hide vambs (alched), emerald, a sapphire, two unids, two mithril bars, 24 rune arrows, and a loop half when I went exploring the tunnels and killed a fire giantÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæOff for my next trip! Second trip I killed 95 dusties, and got 5 mith bars, 85 rune arrows, 600 or so fires, 30 choas runes, 15 soul runes, rune dag, 2 rannars, and a irit, diamond, and a sapphire. Third trip I killed 94 dusties, got 2 mith bars, 1 earth battle, 1.3k fires, 2 rannars 1 kwuarm 1 avontoe, 1 rune dag, 3 vambs, 72 rune arrows 2 rubies, 1 sapphire, and an emerald.

JNASTY03 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 hmmm I know what the feeling is like when you get a bunch of fire runes...lol(fire giants), I know its no where near the class of dusties, but they are where my worries came from, I thought I was going to get a d med fromt he fire giants, raised my range from like 54 to 72 there and never got the d med drop I wished for. I took like 9000 steel arrows down there and stayed down there...haha I just hope this doesn't turn out to be another fire giant epidimic...haha I think I will go out there and just keep this thread up, and keep everyone up to dated on my trials, and triumphs!!

Smapla Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've heard dust devils give awesome ranging xp, so that'd be beneficial. Also, you don't need to hit enter when the text gets to the edge of the box. it automatically shifts it down. reading half the width of the page is sort of annoying too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNASTY03 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well here I am preparing for battle, I have been fishing the past couple of hours getting as many sharks as I can. Fishing is the hard part for me but cooking not so bad, my fishing is 82 almost 83, but my cooking is 90, hardly ever burn more then 1-2 sharks per load, and I get a lot of no burns...So once I get stocked back up on food, I'm going to start desert treasure, do the mirrors part go in and whoop some [wagon]! we'll just have to hope for the best now wont we!

cocacolabottle Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 When I go train there I'm not even hunting for a Chain, the experience there is just so wonderfull that it's not even necessary. 99 Slayer since August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biabf Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 If I was you don't go there expecting a chain. go for the experience. It's good experience. If you go for the chain, you will end of let down. I killled 5k and only for 80k fires to shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuBai Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 why do you have to speak like this? p.s. - Gratz on 65 slayer - my current goal is to get that and 80 ranged :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starev91 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'm currently killing them-I get about 70k-100k in herbs and alched cash+coin drops per trip, and although it isn't the fastest money, it's better then some things i could be doing instead :P If you get bones to peaches you wont even need to bank for food that often-bring a hally if your unlucky, so that you can get more bones. They dont hit high :) They drop some good stuff anyways, other then the chain-I get a couple earth battlestaves a trip, and alch them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy69801 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I am currently working on 90 ranged at dusties, only killed around 5k so far, i'm here for the good exp and good drops i'm not here specifically for a chain and if you do that im sure it will drive you crazy as it is very rare drop.

JNASTY03 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Sweet, I guess I will finish stocking up on resources then head out to see everybody down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman789 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 good luck, my friend got a chain in like 490 kills, and 2 left halfs in another 10K kills so i know you prob will have SOME luck I'm 106 and I'd do it if it wasn't for what Reb posted... If Reb jumped off a cliff, would you follow him? :lol: Who wouldn't? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Going to kill dusties for the dragon chain is just like killing chaos druids just for the half key drop. After like 1k or 2k kills you'll get frustrated. Meanwhile, if oyu go there for the exp (herbs with the druids), you'll feel way better. This signature is intentionally left blank.

lol000999 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Don't aim for a d chain trust me when you fight 1 thing over nad over again hoping for 1 item it doesn't show.. but dusties are great exp and give great drops herbs half keys alchable things... hundreds of fires.. and great exp don't aim for the d chain aim for the other drops and exp :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkthedreamer Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Exactly what everyone else has been saying.. I'm training combat at dusties right now.. got lucky and got a left half drop so that was good :D Anyways, its great xp and after I reach my desired combat lvl, I'll probably raise range here too. I have bones to peaches and its awesome :) 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNASTY03 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Thats awesome man! Glad you got that d drop, keep training down there, maybe you'll get something more!! WOOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha_boas Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 i USED to train at dust devils alot, got 8 d chains of them in total. (not sure how many i killed, but i killed alot and no i'm not that lucky, most of those i got SHORTLY after dust devils were introduced in rs) Lately i didn't got any d chains nomore so yea i just stopped going, was getting to crowded anyway. So yea i don't know if you should attempt getting a d chain of them However, i am killing KQ's now and i got exactly 176 kills ... NO D CHAIN :roll: maybe jagex thinks i have gotten enough D chains so far and blocked my account from having d chain drops rofl :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trunksrs Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I know it's off topic, but i'd change you anvatar before someone else does. Same thing I was thinking. On topic, I'm not planning on camping out for an item I'm pretty sure I'll never get. I have 66 slayer right now, and I am hoping to get assigned dusties, so I have a small chance, but I'm not camping out till I have 99 slayer, and I might even wait till I get enough experiance to climb the highscores passed any other 99 slayers. Look, if your mom still drops you off at school, you ain't gangsta, pull up your damn pants!3 down, 7 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--fistofbeast-- Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 i have a friend who spent 2 months working on it, not sure how long each day he was on, and if he was there all of the time, but he ended up getting one... always nice when you can just buy them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
