Slaying Dust Devils
My latest task was to slay 172 Dust Devils, so I thought that I would share it with you. Dust Devils are renown for a way of getting a dragon chain. Will I get one this time? I know that a friend of mine got one with his 1st ever slayer task with them.
Here I am fighting dust devils in the smoke dungeon
Dust Devils are combat level 93 and have 105 hit points and 105 slayer points. They are not aggressive and can be found in the chaos tunnels or the smoke dungeon to the west of the southern carpet ride place at Pollnivneach. I went to the later, but did so by climbing down the well in the middle of Pollnivneach and walking west.
This shows what I was wearing to slay dust devils
There are a few ways to slay dust devils. When I was a lower combat level I used to slay them using range. There are some safe spots for ranging, but they seem to change every now and then. However I chose to melee them this time. If I was a few points higher in the slayer tasks rewards, I would have learned the mask skill whereby I could attach the black slayer mask with the face mask. Otherwise I have my normal melee gear on with a face mask. The face mask is needed for the smoke dungeon. The photo below shows me looking at someone ranging at a safe spot.
You can see me behind someone ranging at the dust devil safe spot.
What items did I bring? If I had a high enough summoning level, then a bunyip would have been handy, because dust devils can take some hit points off you at times. However, I was still a few levels below what was needed, so I just took some good food. I also took 200 coins for the carpet ride, super pots and also 10 natures in case of rune dagger, earth battle staff or red dragonhide vambrace drops.
These are the items I bought with me to slay dust devils.
One handy thing that you get while slaying dust devils is Ugthanki Kebabs. These kebabs heal 18 hitpoints and you often get 2 per drop. This saved me having to use all of my tuna potatoes. On this occasion I used 2 nature runes to alch a red dragon vambrace and an earth battlestaff. Often there is the potential for many more alchable items. There is some fire elementals in the dungeon too which may drop some nature runes too if you need some and you get lucky. 46% of the drops had charms and most of them were crimson. Not showing in the item list below was 48 rune arrows, which were loaded on me to save space. I also dropped many gems and herbs. Did I get a dragon chain??? Not this time, maybe next time?
This is what I was rewarded with after the end of the 172 dust devil slayer task.
