Spanthrax's Waterfiend Strategies.

By spanthrax on 17/06/2008
WATERFIENDS

What to wear is universal no matter your summoning level. Your summon level will dictate inventory. gear is as follows:

note every invent you should start with a games necklace so you can teleport to Barbarian outpost. you then use the safety deposit box located inside Barbarian Assault.
then proceed south until you hit a dock and dive in the whirl pool. Then turn on mage prayer, go down the ladder WITH ANTI DRAG SHIELD EQUIPPED and follow the following

after reaching this location equip your weapon and switch to RANGE PRAYER and drop the anti shield if u wish.
Now if you dont have 68 summoning this is what your invent should look like:

the method is you get to teh location and summon the best BoB that you can and stuff it with food, so you can pick up drops.

For the level 68-87 summoner use the following inventory:

if you are between 68 and 77 i think it is you will need a summon pot to summon the
second bunyip. once you pass 77ish you wont need the summon potion anymore. also note that bringing a tele tab and possibly some consume whole scrolls is advised. i just didnt have any more at the time of the screenie.
    for the 88+ summons this is a general outline of what to take. if you dont have void u can take karils/black d hide depending on budget, the brew is just in case of a high damage streak and the super restore is so you can summon a second Unicorn, and to counter the brew if the emergency should arise. also you dont have to pray the whole time either, ive gone 2 uni's on less than 5 full p pots

Just a Addon

Because Zammy Spear are Limited and hard to buy, You can use Saradomin sword if you have plenty of cash to throw

You get the same Crush and Strength as Zammy spear. But lose 1 point prayer (Which is why Zammy spear is superior)

You can also use Berserker ring for extra +4 Crush and Strength which is always helpful

Godswords is decent but i won't recommended it, Unless you are using SGS+Full Void+Piety and Unicorn. You be outdamage by Zammy spear easily (TESTED)

Spanthrax. Why would you not pick up the seaweed? They are like 150gp ea. Good money in seaweed drops.

By David on 17/06/2008
I use them for charms also.

I know from experience:

Deaths can go up for 33.
Water Orbs can be up to 20

They also drop Level-3 Clues.

You use the V-flail for normal attacks and then the Mace/Shield for specials.

I've found this set-up best for me, because I run out of food and potions at the same time, so I'm not teleporting out with supplies left over.

You're not there for ages, but I'm able to get about 40-50 Crimson Charms with that setup. I'm going for 68 with all the Crimson Charms I get.

i dont pick up seaweed because 9/10 i have a full invent with things of higher value. but towards the end of my runs i try to pick up seaweed since i have room at that time.

its actually not. its too slow in comparison to zam spear. zam spear is whip speed and it has better stats


By Spiltbark31 on 30/06/2008
really? i didnt know that lol? i gotta look into this

By spanthrax on 09/01/2009
It's pretty much done now that i've added an 88+ method to it. i'd add a video of each method but im lazy and cba. hope this helps my fellow guardians.

By Toshortofnam on 09/01/2009
Not a bad guide! ^^

By For Sooth on 09/01/2009
You said not to post anywhere else...
You used tip.it's pic. Any they don't allow anyone to use their pics.

By Narita on 09/01/2009
you dont need a anti drag sheild, at the bank drink a sip on anti fire pot (purple one) when you go down pray mage and you get hit max 4-7ish. works every time for me.

By Billy on 10/01/2009
I will use this guide in my hunt for 68 summoning! biggrin.gif

yes that works to but the difference in cost for your way and my way is so small its not really a factor so just use either method and you'll be fine. oh and Sooth, its not like i just took their picture, i gave them credit for it as well. if they dont like it who gives a rip.
