Ankous = awesome drops?!

[normanbiggs]

ok so finally got round to doing the stronghold while fightning the ankous i got a lvl 3 clue, cool i figure ill go back and fight them again, im on my second trip and so far ive got 250 death 290 bloods around 50 laws 210 pure ess (noted)

 

 

 

I thought this was pretty cool considering how easy they are!

 

 

 

sorry if this has been posted before i did searcg but found nothing

[Flame_guy3]

Hmm.. interesting... (Scrambles out of brimhaven and runs to ankous)

[normanbiggs]

lol post how you got on :)

 

 

 

ive also got my comabt lvl to 101 today training on them :)

[chowzhaoliangz]

they are quite painful too

 

and the ghost are irritating

[chenw]

Guthan's along with a bit of p pots, absolutely owns these guys.

[Mamong]

Ya, ghosts are annoying, you think you see an Ankou with your name on it and the ghost goes for you instead... :wall:

 

 

 

Jagex must of made it better. When I first went there, I got nothing noticeable except the sceptre piece and a lvl 3 clue which is in the Kharazi Jungle and it pointless cos I haven't done Legends. :x

[normanbiggs]

no no theres a room with just ankous!! the room to the north of where you enter!

[Maximiliank]

Ankou are fantastic for drops, and the lvl 75s dont hit as frequently as the 86s...

 

 

 

So far, I've got (in total) about 600 deaths, 400 bloods, 200 addy arrows, 40 laws and 12 left skull halves... (but no clue scrolls... :( )

[normanbiggs]

Ive done a fair few runs and had 2 clues so its not that great a rate, but still beat the hell outta doing hellhounds!

 

 

 

just wanted to share my find with you guys on here :)

 

 

 

EDIT: dont forget your salve ammy if you have one! these guys are undead!

Or bones to peaches.

 

 

 

But in response to the original post, yes Ankou's rock, I trained down there for a while and have been telling absolutely everyone who asks that it is the place to train. The bloods and deaths are great (I suspect better without a ROW as well) and the note ess and mith ore is pretty good too. Plus it's a quick Glory tele and jog back from Edgy for your bank runs.

[Barbossa]

yes i got lots of deaths from those, about 300 when my run was done

[Iv_Green_vI]

hmm, they tend too hit alot they are very accurate. :XD:

[beanonator]

You finally noticed it -.-?

 

great source of laws :)

 

altough they still hit pretty hard

[folmer_veeman]

they drop lvl 3 clues???????

 

there goes the fun of killing jellies... :P

[chenw]

So lets break it down how this is a good training:

 

 

 

1. Near to Bank (Edgy glory, a jog back.)

 

2. Easy to get to (just complete the easy stronghold)

 

3. Usually Deserted

 

4. Good hp (70 for 86's)

 

5. Excellent drops (so you actually get paid for XP, or it can cover the cost of barrow armor degrade)

 

6. Undead (Salve Ammy speeds training up)

 

 

 

Now is there any reason NOT to train on them? Probably if they hit a bit hard because they are lv 80's after all.

You said it!! There is no limit to what you can do with guthans and p pots down there, I went from 101 to 103 cb in there, it's amazing! Drops are good, but awful for non-members. And if you have guthans, the auto-attack goes off after about 20 mins, so the ghosts are no longer a problem, you can then range the ankous as well if you want.

[normanbiggs]

wow thanks for all the posts guys :)

 

 

 

can't believe i only just found out about them! and i hope i've help a few people with a new training spot too!

 

 

 

happy hunting!

[dogfever]

Just to note that there is also a group of level 75 ankou's to the northwest. They also have good drops and no ghosts.

[Barihawk]

I've been gone most of the summer. Where exactly are Ankous? And what quests do I need to have done to fight them?

There are three types:

You find them in the security stronghold:

It's easy to do the Security Stronghold.

i did mention this earlier but thanks for saying again :)

[uk_dragon1]

i have been training there for a while and it is totally awesome for the following reasons:

 

1) i started at 65 strength, and now have 69

 

2) i hardly ever see many people there, practically deserted compared to experiments

 

3) amazing drops. i would travel there with 20 odd lobbies at 65 hp, and would come back with around 80 bloods, 70 deaths, 50 odd pure ess, a few mith ores, and about 5 scepter pieces

 

 

 

I realy do recomend it to any body over level 70 as the 76 ankou arent that tough if wearing decent armour. there are also safespots for hallying, maging and ranging.

 

 

 

Try it!, you'll Love it! :P

[koddo1]

Oi, Barihawk, you missed the whole Security Stronghold. It's in Barbarian Village, it's 4 levels deep, f2p, lots of monsters, Ankous are on the 4th level. From it you can get boots at the end, and a sceptre. There are 4 pieces to the sceptre and the new monster on each level drops a different piece. I think that pretty much explains it.

Finally enough runes to get to 70+ mage lol. My friend said ankous are good for range/mage training if you can find a good safespot.

The Aknou also drop left-half of dragon sqaure shield! The 75's drop 'em too, and they're very easy.
