cowmaster187 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 two questions in fact is it viable to meele them, or range the only way? are they worth it/what is the drop rate for masks? ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Cave Horrors suck, I definitely would switch that task if you have enough points to. The drops are bad. And if you did fight them, then range them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asianboy7o7 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 there's safe spots for range its easier to melee though they dont even hit high and have like 60hp each mask id say 1/500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowmaster187 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 well i was gonna do them just for a little bit of extra cash from the masks but hmm thanks ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imamonkey Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I see no reason not to melee them unless you just want range experience. I find them pretty easy with melee. But my combat stats were fairly high before I ever became a member. Don't let the name scare you off, they are really not that bad. Just somewhat out of the way. If you have never done them, at least do them once I would say. You don't know unless you try. Don't forget to wear a Witchwood Icon. Besides being highly fashionable it is a must for fighting Cave Horrors. As I said, you should at least try them once if you never have. You may find you like Cave Horrors. I never really minded doing them. They were not one of my favorite tasks, but by no means one I dreaded doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasscube Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Regardless of getting a mask or not, they give pretty decent drops. I would never cancel them. But yeah, mask drop rate is like 1/500. Help drive change Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliboli1992 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 there's safe spots for range its easier to melee though they dont even hit high and have like 60hp each mask id say 1/500 i agree with this poster, there are safe spots but it is hard to find good safe spots that allows you to kill several quickly rather than waiting for one to respawn before you kill it. I think you would prefer to melee them unless you want range exp but wear armour with good mage defence like d hide I think asianboy7o7 is right..i have killed about 1500+ and got 3 masks so i think the drop rate is pretty much bang on.. [spoiler=Sig] I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie1762 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They are super easy to melee. They sometimes hit often, but you really shouldn't use points to cancel them. And the possibility of a black mask drop it always nice. http://sign.tip.it/1/6/24/304/lady_scm.png Drops/Clue Finds:Shield left half: 1,Dragon plateskirt: 1, Warrior's Helm: 1, Obsidian Cape: 1, Robin Hood Hat: 1, Dragon Platelegs: 1, Dragon Boots: 4, Amulet of Ranging: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
