Can somebody tell me what range lvl is needed to kill Ahrim (the mage brother)? and recommended type of arrow?

 

 

 

I am working towards lvl 50 range (to enable me to get a mage short).

 

 

 

I have been maging him up to now, but it takes some time and uses up prayer pots.

 

 

 

Thnx all... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The higher the better. 70 is the most recommended so that you kill hin quick. At low levels, its ALWAYS rune arrows, at higher levels, you might be able to use Broad arrows/Addy arrows as substitutes.

 

 

 

Again the Higher the Better.

I melee him.

I use mith arrows on him and get him down fast (84 range ftw).

 

 

 

If i were you i would get to 70 range just to be able to wear the hides and it's not that hard to get, all you need is arrows/money and time. i leveled in range guild minigame and bought rune arrows with all the tickets, made up some money quite nicely :D

I melee him.

 

 

 

I tried that before, i dont recommend it unless you have over 80 attack, super attacked AND you dont melee Karil the Ranger. His Melee Defence is actually quite high, compared with ranged def anyway. Mage Prayer, Eagle Eye and Karil Crossbow kills in 15 bolts max. Thats 30 seconds. I tried whipping Ahrim before (and only whip, ran outta dds specs), took 1 minute.

 

 

 

Your choice really, but Ranged has potential to kill quicker.

So can I do it with 50 range, if I use rune arrows?

 

 

 

Will this be better than using mage? (Fire Bolt with Chaos Gauntlets). I am lvl 70 mage (and climbing).

I'm 99% certain that range works better on him since he is after all a mage who is suppose to be weak against range.

 

 

 

And as your level goes up in ranging the faster you kill him. Try out different arrows and you'll see what suits best for you. :)

Thnx all, for your help, but welcome any other comments...

If you want a Genuine Opinion from me:

 

 

 

There is no 'minimum level' which you can kill ahrim with (hell i'd try with level 1 ranged :P), but like anything in barrows, the Higher, the Better. That applies for Defence, HP, ranged, Mage and prayer.

 

 

 

The reason for Higher ranged is that the D Hides are stronger at higher levels not only at ranged bonus but also at mage defence, making you kill ahrim quicker and have less need for food and/or p pots, which works hand in hand.

 

 

 

I tried it with lv 60's ranged on Ahrim, it kills pretty fast, so i would say 50's when using rune arrows would be ok too. Now... do a few runs normally, and if you find you have many prayer points left over after killing Ahrim, you could consider Switching on your Hawk Eye/ Eagle eye prayers, your prayer wold drain a bit fast though.

 

 

 

Oh, and if you can afford it, ranging pots are good too.
