How To Slay Kurasks With Range

May 27, 2009 By: Delarue64 Category: Runescape Monsters No Comments →

As I mentioned in some of my comments on other slayer guides we have wrote on this blog, I have started ranging my slayer tasks I get given from Summona. Most of the guides I will be writing for slayer for now will be based like this, hope this one helps. :)

I got assigned to kill 121 kurasks today, I tested out using the broad tipped bolts with void. They are surprisingly strong bolts, they ended up being the same strength as adamant bolts. The bolts were hitting between 30-40 for me with 98 range, making it seem faster then the old method of killing kurasks with the leaf bladed spear. They are level 106 and give 97 slayer experience each.

Below is the safe spot I used for the task, you rarely get hit on the way back to it, when the kurasks get non aggressive towards you, run back into the turoth area and back again or to the other side of the kurask area to make them aggressive towards you again.

This is the safespot for the kurasks in the slayer caves, there may be more spots but this is the safest one I found.

The inventory I used for this task is shown below, I guessed with the amount of potions and food, as it has been a while since I have killed them. It may be worth taking a chisel and some alch runes as they drop the occasional adamant plate body  and gems too. You shouldn’t need that much food, they rarely hit you when you run to collect loot and bolts.

The potions are ranging potions, the kurasks also drop the occasional range potion (1) so you might not need this many potions.

The equipment I used is in the picture below, I used snakeskin boots because I currently can’t afford ranger boots as I spent most of my cash on skills.

The slayer ring is so I can teleport to summona after the task, and to keep track of amount left to kill.

This is the loot I got from the task, the kurasks dropped heaps of unfinished broad bolts and arrowheads usually 30+ per drop. They dropped green charms mostly as you can tell by the picture below, but at a low rate, so not recommended to kill these if you are after charms. They dropped a few gold charms, but I don’t pick them up anymore, as they are too slow for summoning experience for me now.

The herb is a ranarr weed, and the seeds are kwuarm seeds.

That’s about it for this guide, if you have any suggestions, questions or comments about the guide please comment below. Thanks. :)
