On f2p, which of the stronghold monsters give the best xp/and/or drops? I'm 101 combat BTW. This is so I know what creatures to include in my combat training guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

ankous eat up ur food, but are good exp and very good drops, the minotaurs dont hit very much but arnt very good drops, thats all i know

Thanks. I'm not going to include Ankous at all. Their drops stink, they use TONS of food, and their xp isn't that great. I'll have to investigate minotaurs though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any other ideas? I've heard giant spiders are good too.

Oh scratch that. You're F2P, my bad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minotaurs are ok, they drop a lot of iron arrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flesh crawlers also are good exp. They also drop a decent amount of fire runes.

Minotaurs probably have the best drop since they drop a ton of iron arrows and dont need any food for a full runer. Flesh crawlers, spiders and catobleans are all very good for exp since they all auto attack reguardless of level i believe. Out of those three i would say flesh are the best since they only hit the occasional one or two on a full rune, while the other two can start to rack up the damage points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GL with your guide. :thumbsup:

Minotaurs are excellent for an aspiring ranger, with an average of 3 irons per kill, and those with full rune can esentially sustain themselves off of meat drops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flesh crawlers are decent xp with high hp for a fairly low attacking ability, also easily trapped for ranged combat. Poor drops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catablepons are poor xp and cause high damage and reduced attacks, but can be decent ranged targets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ankous have interesting drops, the favorites being law runes and addamant arrows, but use a lot of food and have strong attacks for their poor xp value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additionally, the spiders on level 3 are considered excellent training, while lacking drops, make up for it with a quick source of xp for relatively little food.

catablepons are okay, but their magic is really annoying. giant spiders are pretty good xp, but no drops at all :wall:

If you just want exp, the giant spiders on level 3 are great. They are aggressive but drop nothing.

 

 

 

If you want drops....ankous and minotours are pretty good

Ankou, love them or hate them - they are a tough melee opponent, especially to an Iron pure (get one or maybe two on a load of food, and that's with rune wepon and full iron, D-hide & ammy).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They can hit 8, but full rune means they don't hit too often. The major drops (F2P) seem to be pairs of laws, some addy arrows, Mithril ores (noted) and small or medium piles of coins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Against a safespot mage, they have an entirely different character, queuing up for annihilation!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shooting 1.5k of fire strikes at them, and at the Lessers, I scored 30+ law runes, plus some of the other stuff, but only a mithril chain and some steel helms from the Lessers - of course, if your luck is good, the Lessers may drop a rune med, great to sell, or for a mage to high alch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going for straight XP, the level 27 Minotaurs (portal to the end and work back) are worth a go especially if the 12's are too weak for your level, or too busy. If not out to get arrow or sceptre drops, the wolves can be taken out as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On level 2, the Flesh crawlers are all-level aggressive (though it wears off as usual). The southeast room is a place a well armoured melee fighter can go and have fun, Crawlers only, and plenty of them - it would take a few players to make much of a dent on the roomful.
