Slaying Kalphite Soldiers
I got a task to slay 170 Kalphites the other day and thought that I would try something different for a change. Usually I just run around madly slaying the low level Kalphite Workers (level 28) and rarely I would try and range the Kalphite Guardians (level 141), but today I decided to slay the Kalphite Soldiers.
Kalphite Soldiers are level 85 and give 90 slayer xp per kill. My task was to slay 170 of them. Most of the Kalphite Soldiers are located at the Kalphite Cave in a room that is multi combat (refer to picture below). After time they stop attacking you automatically. I noticed that many were taking Guthans to this area, but I decided to take some super sets and 2 super anti-poisons instead. I had no problems in completing the task and had 5 sharks to spare. There were others that used cannons in this area, which is probably a good tactic to use against the kalphite soldiers too. I just hopped worlds when a cannon showed up.
The picture above shows what the Kalphite soldiers look like as well as what I collected at the completion of the slayer task. It is interesting that although only 42 charms were collected from 170 kills, 8 of them were blue charms. This was a large proportion of blue charms compared to my recent ice warrior attempts in getting charms. 19 were gold charms, 9 were crimson charms and 6 were green charms. Also collected were some fire runes, 6 nature runes (although 1 was used to alch a mith chainbody), 12 death runes, 96 chaos runes and 13k coins (including the alch). Some other steel items were left on the ground, as well as some waterskins.
Also in my inventory, you may have noticed that I collected some potato cactus. 3 potato cacti are located in this room, but it appears that after you pick 1 up the Kalphite Soldiers start attacking you again. So it is best to leave them alone until you have finished killing the Kalphite Soldiers. Potato cactus can be used as the second ingredient for magic potions and now they can be used to help make spirit kalphite pouches (for the new summoning skill).
So I did not gain too much from this task, especially compared to the 2 whips that I got from my previous 144 abyssal demon task, but it is all a learning experience.

Thanks for the information, I used the same spot but with a cannon to make it quicker, looks like your method is less expensive, and saves the hand from too much clicking.
And made around 1-2million already from 2 days work. I will give you an update at a later date how I go.
I’m currently working on 99 attack through slayer tasks, , I’m close to 92 attack now.

To get to the kalphite soldiers, head to the lair which is east of the shanty pass then follow the tunnel until you come to a dead end on your left with 3 potato cacti spawns in a room full of kalphite soldiers.
Hope that helps.

although i think this guide has goo content i think it would be better layed you by introducing the guide with, equipments and inventory set ups for the different skill types, then rarther than using your log in long wordy paragraphs you could make a table dividing the amount of charms recived by how amny killed and it would be much easier to read and for others to contribute, i am currently traing from 83-99 nrage entirely on slayer and will be willing to post my drop logs, once again i would realy like to hear form you in game
