Maging Dag Kings

By Billy on 12/01/2009
This is just a basic guide to what gear you should use for maging rex at dag kings. All things can be swapped, this is just what i find best without using guthans.


Slayer darting < Cheapest + Easiest to obtain

Helm: Veracs > Niet > Torags > Zerker > Rune
Ammy: Fury > Glory > Power
Platebody: Torags > Veracs > Granite > Rune
Platelegs: Veracs > Torags > Granite > Rune
Boots: Dragon > Rune > Climbing
Shield: Granite/Obby (Same bonuses) > Rune
Gloves: Barrows > Dragon > Rune > Addy > Mith/Combat bracelet
Cape: Skillcape > Obby Cape > God cape > Team cape


Inventory.

This is what i find bes suits me for slayer darting. Slightly more brews than restores, higher def may need less brews and more restores, adjust how you feel.

You will need around 1.5k deaths, 2k to be safe, and 8k minds.



Claws of guthix < Using Void Mace for Autocast.
The armour/weapons setup s practially the same, just with a few adjustments.

The aim with this is to keep as much mage bonus aswell as pray and defence. This setup gives you -8 mage attack bonus, however it still works great. I'd advise not using torags plate as that gives yo mage attack bonus -32, however gives more defence. You can play with it how you like, this is just my preferred style.

You NEED a guthix cape this allows you to charge, meaning the ability to hit 30's.


Inventory.

3k Bloods is advised as well as adequate fires and airs. Other than that, keep the inventory as close as possible to that.

Points.
Using slayer dart is a much more cost efficient way of doing this, however kills are much slower and your hit is determined by you slayer level. I believe 60 slayer hits around 16, however not confirmed, at 69 i hit 18s. Less kills per trip than Claws of Guthix

Using claws of guthix is my preferred style, however you have a much lower defence bonus to range, which is highly recommended. On the up side you can charge to hit 30's therefore killing rex much much quicker. You also hit constantly on him with8 mage, i recall hitting a string of 6 numbers over 24 in a row. Only problem is that you use twice as many blood per strike, costng double a slayer dart, but you kill them 2-3 times faster than with slayer dart therfore levelling itself out.

To obtain a void mace simply go to pest control, and use 250 points to purchase it, took me little over 2 hours to retrieve this.

My sources tell me you can get 1k slay darts for 140 slayer points off a slayer master, making it event cheaper t slay dart!

If you are soloing, or going with a hybrid, always make sure to take Rune Thrownaxe. This is to spec the middle stone, if you are with a team, check somebody else has otherwise take it upon yourself to take 1, replace a brew.

Thanks for reading my guide, hope it helped.

I will add routes and where to stand in safe spots, how to lure, and more when i next go to dag kings, this is just a basic gear guide for an upcomming dks event.

Please post anything that may be wrong, and i will sort it out.

p.s i bad speller.

Again thanks.

nice guide mate

Ratio is 2 brew / 1 s rest
If you find you need more prayer... Change a few of the S Rest for P Pots.

Ammy: Fury > Glory > Power

Not if you're maging!
Ammy: God Stole > Glory
You want the prayer bonus more. You'd be bloody stupid to bring a fury there if you are maging and not using Guthans.

Also, get the Antipoison++. Much better and effective.
Take more than one extra familiar pouch.
I take 3 extra torts, but almost never use the last. Almost. There are a few trips in which I do use it, so that's why I always bring it.

If possible, do the quest as a first resort. Then you get the infinite run and don't waste an inventory spot with terrorbird scrolls.

QUOTE
Cape: Skillcape > Obby Cape > God cape > Team cape

You totally forgot the God Cloak from TT. That gives a decent pray bonus and is way better than a team cape. Legends cape is also better than a team cape. Please specify if you are meaning the Skill Cape (t) or not. Fire cape > Obby cape.

Tabs i just done it how i found it best. Bare in mind im 80 def and need all the def bonus i can get. Thats what i use and it works perfect, run out of brews n rests and same time, same thing goes for people i have taken with me, cept they jsut last longer.

Thanks though, but thats what i prefer :|

By Narita on 12/01/2009
tabs if anything you need more rests than brews thats a fact iv done alot of dks maging and hybrids, billys invent for his summ level is fine. nothing wrong with it. at a higher summoning 69 say take more antis and rests and take a fruitbat with fruit fall scrolls these give the food that brews would normaly provide and no the normal ratio for brews/rests in 1:1.

well it depends really, i do an 8 hour trip with 2-3 restores, only use them to boost my stats back up from brews - dont really need pray.

By Narita on 12/01/2009
not all of us have ponies=] and for lower def is helps to pray.

Best armor is Guthans so you can heal off the spins. As a hybrid, I know how annoying it is for the mage to leave before us because they can literally stay there forever, so long as they have the runes, HP and Antipoisons.

Otherwise, good guide.

Tabs, I personally find a ratio of 3 Brews to 1 Super Restore is good. Because you can fully restore any stat that was decreased by the three doses of SB, with a single dose of SR. Just makes more sense to me anyway.

I can't talk much on the side of mages though, I only hybrid - haven't got Guthan's and want my trips to last a while there.

By Billy on 13/01/2009
Thanks for mickey biggrin.gif

Its only a basic mage set up, for those who cant afford guthans. Thats what i find the best for me as i said with other it will vary of course.


All sign up to the Dag Kings trip in the events forums if you are interested in DKS. Good money biggrin.gif!
