Tips To Slay Locust Rangers

August 09, 2008 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 6 Comments →

I use to skip the scabarite tasks all the time till I found out that there is an easy way to do them without having to worry about multicombat. I use the dungeon underneath the sophaneum bank (which is in the north east corner below some stairs near the broken altar). The map below shows the position of the map I use, it is just south of the scabarite mage near the start of the dungeon. The locust rangers are 98 combat and give 102 slayer xp and have 102 hp, they eventually stop attacking so you can save prayer after a while, they spawn pretty quickly so it is advisable to keep the range prayer on til they stop attacking.

I used protection from range against these as they can be pretty deadly if you arn’t careful. If you want to save prayer, you can stand in the respawn spot and have your prayer off, and mentioned by Smiffy in the comments part of this guide. :)

Here is the inventory I used. I take a tinderbox because they can put out your lantern now and then, the lantern is a must if you want to get to this area as it is a dungeon. The swordfish are for incase I forget to turn on the protection from range prayer.

And this is the equipment I used. You can use a prayer book if you like, I took the dragonfire shield because of the strength bonus.

Locust rangers can be good for gems and crimson charms, I forgot to take a chisel on this occassion though. They also drop rune arrows, addy arrows, battlestaffs, raw and cooked bass and lava runes. This is what I got after 41 locust rangers.

The herb is a dwarf weed. 14 rune arrows and 32 addy arrows, they dropped 7 rune and 16 addy at the same time.

Well thats the last of the guide, hope it helps and goodluck with your scabarite battles.

How To Slay Hellhounds

August 09, 2008 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters 4 Comments →

I just completed my task of 176 hellhounds and thought that I would make a guide on how I did them. I used the taverly dungeon hellhounds (which are north of the poison spiders) as there are alot more of them to kill then the spot at the perfect gold dungeon east of ardrougne.

Hellhounds are 122 combat and have 116 hitpoints and give 116 slayer experience. You can range these but as I am doing 99 strength I meleed them. The equipment I used is in the picture below.

The reason why I took a DDS or dragon dagger p++ as they are called these days is because I like to test how high I can hit with it as my strength level rises aswell as it comes in handy if you need a couple quick kills if you are low on food. Below is a picture of the armour I took to kill them, the ring is a ring of slaying as they don’t drop anything except clue scrolls and charms I decided not to take the ring of wealth like I do in most tasks.

At the end of the task I ended up with heaps of charms as you will see in the next picture below, I didn’t recieve any clue scrolls though because I already have one in my bank from when I did skeletal wyverns.

The uncut sapphire was from a random event, good luck with hellhounds and the clue scrolls if you are after them.
