Iam killing these guys for slayer at the moment, i usually use monks robes and pray pots but im low on pots right now (darn barrows :lol: )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So whats your setup for these guys!?

[frizoid]

I just use black drag items and my dragon scimmy, I have plenty of food in my bank so its more cost effective for me :)

Doesn't the new prosytolite (sp?) armour provide better pray bonus than monk robes?

[henk333]

Using prayer potions usually pays itself back because of the enormous amount of herbs they drop. I use 6-8 doses of prayer potion (not tested proselyte yet) for a ull load of herbs, which almost allways includes 4 ranars.

[normanbiggs]

Ooh whats the new prosytolite armour? not seen that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

interesting so far to see what setup people use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and woot i just got 76 slayer :)

[Dork]

Here's my inv set up:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I always finish with more ranarrs than prayer pots i've used.

 

 

 

Could also wear prayer book instead of defender if you want even more pray bonus, but this gives +20. :)

+1 except thieving cape = fire cape :P .

[normanbiggs]

ah ok will look into that one :) although im not doing so bad with just food and not praying :)

[Adamfostas]

I recommend replacing the Glory with a Zammy symbol, for the additional +5 prayer. You lose a small amount of attack, but you'll be able to get more hits in per prayer point, so it becomes irrelevant.

You really shouldn't. The best (and only) amulet you should use on aberrant specters is a salve amulet.

[Nukearcher]

monk robes whip defender wealth, no pots and food needed ;)

Just watching that vid irritates me :? I'd rather pray the entire time and end up with as much ranars as I used p pots then constantly clicking the prayer icon. Might be just me though...

[meb]

I melee them in prayer-boosting gear.

[Umega]

I melee them in prayer-boosting gear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same. Guthix book, pros armour, rune boots, barrow gloves, whip, fury, RoL. And of course 6 (4) dosed prayer potions.

[rft]

actually I have a different setup to the ones listed above. I melee them in black dhide, and have a pile of runes for bones to peaches - I just head down to the crawling hands on the ground floor - to get my health back. I drop all my herbs that are harralanders and below.

[Stilev]

protostyle, salve ammy, nose plug, whip, zammy book, quest cape, RoW, barrows gloves, and rune boots

Of course, they're undead, aren't they? Silly me. I stand corrected.

[koddo1]

Wow, I gotta start killing these things again, I had no idea a Salve Amulet would work on them. Well first...I guess I need a salve amulet. Hmm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, I use the same outfit and setup as the others. It works quite nicely.

Salve amulet I prefer over glory, otherwise I have similar.

[FastForce]

Use proselyte top and bottom, whip, rune boots, dark gloves, salve ammy, rune defender, zerker ring, fire cape, nose peg. I usually use 2 pray pots a trip and I kill around 60 a trip. Have to bank the herbs often :D

[Umega]

Wow, I should try salve amulet next time then. I really didn't know that. Hope I can do some 33s on them. \

[Kariga]

I melee in proselyte ( improved initiate with bigger pray bonus)Salve amulet, defender (for speed, prayer book gives less attack bonus and i have pray pots to use)

 

 

 

Nosepeg, fire cape, rune boots etc.( i prefer a wealth over a berserker)

 

 

 

Only diffrence is i take dragon battleaxe and 2 attack pots and 6 prayer potions.

 

 

 

I can't be bothered to to in the middle of the task to get more prayer pots and 6 prayer pots last for about 180 spectres for me. I usually end up with a rune helm, lava battle and all rest inv spots ranarr though =/

[normanbiggs]

Thanks for all your answers, interesting to see what works for people and also good that people now know about teh salve ammy lol

[Gugge]

Similar as others: Melee with prayer bonus. Whip, salve ammy, dark gloves, zammy book for me. Zammy book has offensive stats in addition to prayer bonus, so that is the book I always use when fighting NPC's on protection prayers. (Saradomin book is my choice when walking into wildy on treasure trails etc. Guthix book I use if I for one reason or another lost zammy or sara book and cant be bothered to walk to lighthouse to get them back :P )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pots (other than prayer): I usually bring a 3-dose of each ss and sa pots, to kill the specters quicker. Quick kill=less prayer used per spectre=more kills per prayer pot. I keep ranarr and up herbs, but someone who want to level herblore may want to keep harr and tarr as well. If you plan many bank trips (=plan to keep many herbs), its eventually better to simply drink a dose of each sa and ss at bank. Normal str and att, or the new combat pot is of course an alternative. The normal pots can be bought cheap at warriors guild if you dont have them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then there are the weight to take into consideration. How many specters do you plan to kill, how much of the drops do you plan to keep: in short, do you plan to do frequent bank trips?

 

 

 

Proselyte and rune boots = more prayer bonus + strenght from the boots. Good if you plan to stay long.

 

 

 

Monk robes and boots of lightness = makes you lighter so you can run longer, and thereby make banktrips quicker. May be a better alternative if you plan to keep most herbs they drop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried wearing black hides and use bones to peaches. I personlly didnt like it, wearing stuff for prayer bonus and using prayer pots suit me better. On the other hand, I *do* have a good stock of all pots in bank... not everyone has that.

[Pionex40]

Black hides, Whip, Sara book, Wizard boots, Charged Glory, God Cape.. basically max mage def and 10-13 lobs a trip. I can usually do a 180+ task in 3-4 trips depending on if there is someone there dropping alot of good stuff on the floor.

 

 

 

I bank in Edgy and return with Fairy rings.
