Duel tournaments are held in another part of the duel arena from normal duels and can only be done in world 54. It works basically the same way as a normal duel except you work your way through several opponents and get all of the entry money at the end of you win.

To get there:

The duel arena is in Al Karid. Most people would use a ring of duelling to teleport themselves straight there. You can also walk from Lumbridge or Varrock if your poor. Here where it is:

How to get to the Runescape Duel Arena

When you get there you will see a red minigame symbol on the map, this is the tournament entrance:

The Duel Tournament Entrance

Back To Top

Requirements:

– You must be able to get in the Ancient Cavern after passing a certain stage in the Barbarian Training.
– 100+ combat is advised.
– Either high (80+ will do) melee or high (80+) ranged.
– 43 Prayer

Recommended Levels (minimum, best is 99 of course):

Melee: 80 attack, 80 strength, 75 defence, 80 hitpoints, 70 ranged, 70 prayer.

Ranged: 40 defence, 85 ranged, 44 prayer.

68+ Summoning is very useful, making trips longer.

Item Requirements:

– Decent mage defence (black hides, karil, armadyl)
– Antifire shield/Dragonfire shield

Recommended items:

– Prayer Potions
– Super/Extreme Melee Set(s)
– Sharks
– Unicorn Stallion Pouch + scrolls, or Fire/Moss/Ice Titan with Titan’s Constitution Scroll, or a Bunyip.
– Anti Fire potion
– Games Necklace

The Gear when Melee-ing for your slayer task:

Mithril Dragon Killing Melee Style

This is pretty much the best you can have.

Alternatives:

Neitiznot when not on your task.

Armadyl Chestplate > Karil Leathertop > Black/God d’hide body

Bandos Tassets ~ Armadyl Plateskirt > Karil Leatherskirt > Black/God d’hide chaps

Fury > God Stole > Glory

Ardougne Cape 3(+elite) > Skillcape (t) > Skillcape (u) > Legends cape
Dragonfire Shield (DFS) > Anti-dragon shield

Leaf-bladed Sword > Whip* –> This is just my preference, as Leaf Bladed Swords have a stab option and supposedly, Mithril Dragons are weak to stab attacks.

Dragon Boots ~ Infinity Boots ~ Ranger Boots > Climbing Boots –> Dragon Boots, Infinity Boots and Ranger Boots all have their up- and downsides. If you have one of the three, just use the pair you have.

Barrow Gloves > Dragon Gloves > Dragon Gauntlets

Berserker Ring ~ Archers’ Ring ~ Seers Ring ~ Warrior ring –> Seeing Mithril dragons use three styles, any of these rings will do. Otherwise, use a Ring of Life if you don’t feel comfortable with the more expensive rings.

Inventory:

At 92 prayer and maxed melee, I use 6 Prayer potions (4) and 1 Extreme Melee set (3) or 2 Super Melee sets (4) for about 9 kills. It’s advised to go by trial and error. Take about this amount at first, see how many kills you’ll be able to get. When you know what’s missing or too much, you can adapt your inventory to your needs.

If you have a Unicorn Stallion or a Moss/Ice/Fire Titan, take about 100 scrolls. It’s more than enough, but it’s a bit annoying when you need to kill one more Mithril dragon and you’re out of food and scrolls.

When you’re taking a Bunyip, take more food (Sharks/Pineapple Pizza’s) and no scrolls, as Mithril dragons won’t drop raw food.

1 Antifire (3) or (4) is enough when using melee on your task. I have NOT tried super antifire potions, I doubt it’ll make a big difference.

Dragon Mace is one of the best special attack weapons against Mithril Dragons. Feel free to try other weapons, I suggest Dragon Mace, as you can hit almost/up to 60 with D mace when on task, after potting, using Piety.

The Gear when Ranging

Mithril Dragon Killing Range Style

Alternatives:

Focus Sight addition to Slayer helmet > Armadyl Helmet > Karil Coif > God Coif > Neitiznot

Armadyl Body and skirt> Karil top and skirt > Black/God d’hide body and chaps
Fury > God Stole > Glory

Dragonfire Shield (DFS) > Anti-dragon shield

Ava’s Accumulator > Ava’s Attractor –> You’ll end up shooting a lot of bolts. Walking around without something from Ava will end up in you wasting bolts, or prayer doses.

Diamond Bolts (e) > Broad Bolts ~ Ruby Bolts (e) > Emerald Bolts (e)

Dragon Boots ~ Infinity Boots ~ Ranger Boots > Climbing Boots –> Dragon Boots, Infinity Boots and Ranger Boots all have their up- and downsides. If you have one of the three, just use the pair you have.

Barrow Gloves > Dragon Gloves > Dragon Gauntlets

Archers’ Ring > Seers Ring > Berserker Ring ~ Warrior Ring –> Seeing you’re ranging mithril dragons, an Archers’ Ring is the best in this position.

Inventory:

At 92 prayer and 94 ranged, you’ll need about 5 prayer potions (4) and 3 ranging potions (3) or 1 extreme ranging (4) and 2 antifire (3) for 9 kills. It’s advised to go by trial and error. Take about this amount at first, see how many kills you’ll be able to get. When you know what’s missing or too much, you can adapt your inventory to your needs.

If you have a Unicorn Stallion or a Moss/Ice/Fire Titan, take about 100 scrolls. It’s more than enough, but it’s a bit annoying when you need to kill one more Mithril dragon and you’re out of food and scrolls.

When you’re taking a Bunyip, take more food (Sharks/Pineapple Pizza’s) and no scrolls, as Mithril dragons won’t drop raw food.

Seeing you’d want to stay away from the dragon’s melee attacks, it’s advised to take an (enhanced) Excalibur. Feel free to try other weapons to spec. with.

NOTE: You CAN! take a filled Bull Ant/Terrorbird/Tortoise/Pack Yak/other familiar from outside. Due to the new fairy ring and the ferocious ring, it is possible to enter with a familiar.

How to get there (The Old Way):

Teleport to Barbarian Outpost with your Games Necklace.

Bank your Games Necklace inside Barbarian Assault, if it didn’t turn to dust.

Walk back to the teleport spot again, then walk south to the pier.

Jump into the whirlpool (This picture shows how the game is glitched, but this is the location)

How To Get To Mithril Dragons

When you get in, you’ll see this:

Inside The Mithril Dragon Lair!

Get prepared to fight from now on.

Take a sip of your antifire potion now. You can also take a sip of your super/extreme melee set now, if you want to focus on the fight.

Put Protect from Magic on.

Go down the stairs. You’ll see some Brutal Green Dragons and most likely a few Waterfiends. Run north until you see the stairs in the wall.

How to get there (Ferocious Ring):

Use your Ferocious Ring to teleport to Kuradal. Take a sip of antifire, put Protect from Mage on and climb down the rough hewn rocks.

Run north-east towards the stairs. While you’re running, start potting.

How to get there (Fairy Ring):

Same as with the Ring. You take a sip of antifire right before you use the ring with the code BJQ, put Protect from Mage on and start running and potting.

Melee:

Climb up the stairs. As you do, put Protect from Melee and Piety (if you can) on.
Take your sip of your super/extreme melee set now, if you didn’t do that before.
Summon your familiar now, this is the best moment to do so.

Grab your special attack weapon and spec it four times. Proceed using your original weapon. Keep your prayer up. If you are clicking on your food and/or scroll-option regularly, you might forget about the prayer potion. This can end up in you either wasting a lot of food, or in the worst case even dying.

Watch your HP, keep it close to its maximum without wasting food/scrolls.
For instance, when you’re on 75/92 Hitpoints, don’t use a shark, but use a familiar scroll.

When the Mithril Dragon dies, put Piety/Turmoil off, keep Protect from/Deflect Melee on. Trust me, the few prayer points used while waiting for the spawn are worth it. When it spawns, and instantly combo’s you for a 25-18 with melee and mage, you’ll have to use more than you want.

While you’re waiting for the spawn, take another sip of your Super Melee set. It is very useful to stay on the limit of your levels, so the kills will be quicker. When you’re using Extreme Melee sets, take a sip when your attack falls below 119-120 when you’re 99.
You can also take another sip of Prayer Potion if your prayer is low, but don’t waste any.

As soon as the dragon spawns again, put Piety/Turmoil on again and start fighting it.
Keep repeating this, your task will be over in no-time.

Take a sip of antifire potion whenever the message says: Your protection against dragonfire has ran out.

Range:

Climb up the stairs. As you do, put Protect from/Deflect Missiles and Eagle Eye/Leech Ranged (if you can) on.

Take your sip of your (extreme) ranging potion now, if you didn’t do that before.
Summon your familiar now, this is the best moment to do so.

Keep your prayer up. If you are clicking on your food and/or scroll-option regularly, you might forget about the prayer potion. This can end up in you either wasting a lot of food, or in the worst case even dying.

Watch your HP, keep it close to its maximum without wasting food/scrolls.

For instance, when you’re on 75/92 Hitpoints, don’t use a shark, but use a familiar scroll.

When the Mithril Dragon dies, put Eagle Eye/Leech Ranged off, keep Protect from/Deflect Missiles on.

While you’re waiting for the spawn, take another sip of your ranging potion. It is very useful to stay on the limit of your levels, so the kills will be quicker. When you’re using extreme ranging potions, take a sip when your ranged falls below 115 when you’re 99.
You can also take another sip of Prayer Potion if your prayer is low, but don’t waste any.

As soon as the dragon spawns again, put Eagle Eye/Leech Ranged on again and start fighting it.

Keep repeating this, your task will be over in no-time.

Take a sip of antifire potion whenever the message says: Your protection against dragonfire has ran out.

Back To Top

This isn’t a full guide, it’s just something small to help those who go on TD events, a helping hand.

REQUIREMENTS: MUST HAVE COMPLETED ‘WHILE GUTHIX SLEEPS’ QUEST

Tormented Demon – What an ugly beast!

Minimum Levels

— 80+ Ranged, Attack, and Strength

— 70+ Defense

— 80+ Hitpoints

— 43+ Prayer, You have to be able to use all the protection prayers

Recommended Levels

— 90+ Ranged, Attack, and Strength

— 85+ Defense

— 90+ Hitpoints

— 70+ Prayer, Blessing is a very helpful ability to have at an event

Basically at TD’s you need 2 forms of combat, the best combo is to take melee and range, the Demons attack using all 3 combat styles, with a special attack and shield!

Tormented Demon Attack Styles

Mage – They Basically look like they swing backwards and swing forwards, and shoots a little fireball.

Range – Looks like they take something out of their pocket and fling the spike at you like a dart

Melee – Looks like a D claw spec, they lunge and swipe at you with their claws leaving a little swipe mark in the air (epic)

Special – They look like they’re having a seizure, they bend backwards and shake a bit, then the special shoots out to hit the floor as they continue with their normal attack

TD’s dont hit too high, usually around 25-30 ish, but they switch attacks and they can combo you, especialy if another couple of demons decide to join the party.

You cant deal much damage to the demons if their shield is active, you can see the little flamey-egg encircling them, you need to attack with darklight till you get the message that the demon is weakened, then you can deal some proper damage!

The Demons special attack is basically a mage attack that hits the ground near you and damages everybody around if they dont have mage prayer on, this combo’s with their normal attack so basically its just a mage attack + other attack, a double hit.

Inventory

Tormented Demon Inventory

You don’t have to use this exact set-up, but its just recommended, remember this is just to give you an idea of what to take.

— Sapphire Lantern – necessary for reaching the Guthixian Temple.

— Darklight – you will need this to weaken the demons’ fire shields otherwise you’ll hardly do any damage.

— Rune Crossbow and a Godsword/Dragon Halberd – You must bring two styles of attack, use a decent bolt, Diamond(e) seems to be pretty good for these demons. For your melee style bring a Dragon halberd for its great specs, you can also bring a godsword or whip or something efficient for melee, but seeing as this is a team guide, you’re best to stick to simple stuff

— Familiar Pouch + Scrolls – Healing familiars are extremely helpful in teams, but if you are going solo, it would be wise to bring a Beast of Burden for extra food.

— Super Attack and Strength, and Ranging Potion – Be able to do as much damage as possible.

— Prayer Potions – Without prayer, you’ll be a horrible stain on the ground!

— High Level Food – Sharks are good, but tuna potatoes/pineapple pizzas are best, you can alternatively use Saradomin Brews and Super restores but its sorta unnecessary because you’re in a team.

The Safespots

Tormented Demon Safespots

There are more safespots but these blue highlights are the most commonly used and are most favourited by clans, the red line is the demons range, they cant attack you if you’re beyond that, thats the ideal potting time.

The Luring to Safespot

Tormented Demon Luring Safespot

This is the basic safespot and luring, the red arrows is the demons path, the blue are your own steps.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Junglebiscuit guide to runecrafting! Want to make 340M getting 99? Want to have one of the most respected capes that exist on runescape? Then Read on!

Runecrafting is a fairly old skill, that involves a lot of clicking, and concentration. It is all about running to an alter with rune or pure essence, crafting the rune, and repeating it.

Currently, the Zamorak Mage Institute (ZMI) alter is the fastest runecrafting experience in the game, raking in around 45-55k exp per hour. However, don’t be fooled, ZMI has many drawbacks.

This is what happens when you get addicted to runecrafting:

This is what happens when you get addicted to runecrafting!

That could be you if you get 99 runecraft 🙂

Right, now its time to go into depth, including what you need to get the most out of your time runecrafting 😀

Graahk Runecrafting:

This section of my guide will concentrate on runecrafting with a Spirit Graahk pouch.

Requirements:

– 57 Summoning
– 44 Runecrafting (Minimum)
– Be a fast clicker

What you will need:

– Pure essence (lots of it)
– Rings of duelling
– Super energy potions
– Spirit graahk pouches
– Amulets of glory (4)

This is what you should wear when runecrafting:

Graahk Runecrafting Gear

As long as your weight is below zero, its fine. When you have penance gloves, you can afford to wear a skillcape if you so wish.

This is how your bank should be set out, make sure you have the essence on the top right hand corner of your bank, so that its not as far to drag the mouse:

Graahk Runcraft Bank Setup

This is what your inventory should look like:

Graahk Runcraft Inventory

Make sure you put an energy potion in the top left hand corner. Fill the rest of your inventory with pure essence.

Now for the route:

Start at edgeville bank, get your pouches, pure essence, duelling rings and pure essence out. Also summon your graahk.

Click “interact” on your graahk, then click teleport:

Graahk Teleport

Then, run west, following the line shown on the map:

Route To Nature Altar

When you get there, click on the stone, and you appear at the altar.

When you are at the alter, craft your runes, empty the pouches, then click teleport to castlewars on your ring of duelling.

Castle Wars Bank Teleport

Bank up, fill pouches, and repeat!

Doing this method, on average you will craft 2300 natures at 75-90 Runecrafting. Once you are 91+ runecrafting, you can craft 4600 natures per hour!

Time for some maths:

2300 x 260 = 598000 – That is nearly 600k per hour!

91+ Runecrafting:

4600 x 260 = 1196000 – Thats just over 1.1M Per hour!

If you don’t have 75+ Runecrafting, you can craft around 1.8k natures per hour.

Now for the exp:

REMEMBER: Runecrafting experience is not gained per rune crafted, it is gained by per essence used!

So, based on 2300 essence crafted per hour:

2300 x 9 = 20700 exp per hour.

Abyss Runecrafting:

Abyss Runecrafting is one of the old fashioned ways of runecrafting. The Abyss is a rift, which is surrounded by many monsters. However, there are many benefits for using the abyss.

• Grants you access to all the runecrafting rifts. This makes it alot easier to craft runes such as blood and death runes.
• Pouches can be repaired by the mage in the centre of the abyss. The Abyss is alot more practical for players with 100+ combat.

Here is a basic map of the abyss:

Map of the Runecrafting Abyss

The Abyss has an outer core, which contains monsters, and entrances into the inner core, which contains all the rifts. There are many ways in which to reach the centre, as the map shows above.

The most effective gear to wear in the abyss is light equipment, such as boots of lightness, spottier/spotted cape etc. It is best that you keep your weight below 0, this way you’ll be able to run for longer.

This is what you should wear in the abyss:

Runecrafting Abyss Equipment

The ring of duelling is just another teleportation device, incase you forget to pull out a new amulet of glory.

Runecrafting Abyss Inventory

Starting at edgeville bank, you should run north to the wilderness ditch. Hop over it, then run north to the Zamorak mage.

The Route To Zamorak Mage From Edgeville

Right click on the zamorak mage, then click teleport. When you get into the abyss, find a shortcut of your choice, and go through it. Then, select the rift of your choice.

Now, you can simply craft your runes, and teleport to edgeville. From there you can just bank, and repeat!

For this method, the exp will vary greatly, depending on the runes that you craft. Usually, you can craft around 800-1200 pure essence per hour.

Just do an average (1000) Essence x Exp of the rune.

Below is how much exp you’ll gain per rune 🙂

Rune Runecrafting level Needed Amount of Exp

Air 1 5
Mind 2 5.5
Water 5 6
Earth 9 6.5
Fire 14 7
Body 20 7.5
Cosmic 27 8
Chaos 35 8.5
Astral 40 8.7
Nature 44 9
Law 54 9.5
Death 65 10
Blood 77 10.5

REMEMBER! The exp is based on per essence used, not per rune crafted!

Back To Top

Edit: Required Quests: Gertrudes Cat, Icthlarin’s Little Helper (or at least started)

Recommended Quests: Contact … For use of the bank in Sophanem

Suggested MINIMUM Gear

Pyramid Plunder Minimum Gear

Recommended Gear:

Pyramid Plunder Recommended Gear

Also the Agile clothing would be helpful here

You can save inventory space by swapping the antpoisons for a holy symbol and the prayer book from the great brain robbery quest so you can use the cure poison effect.

If you’ve thrown this book away retrieve it from the bookcase lower south east side of the monastery west of Edgeville. Monks robes ect would also help with this technique lowering your weight for increased agility yet increasing your prayer ability if your going to melee prayer against the mummy or scarab.

How To Get There:

Travel to Sophanem via the Magic Carpets. If you’ve done The Feud quest the carpet rides cost 200gp in total, if you haven’t it will cost you 400gp.

Shanty Pass carpet to Pollnivneach.

Walk south to catch the carpet south of the Pollnivneach Pub to Sophanem.

Enter the gates to Sophanem and the pyramid is directly south in front of you.

Pyramid Plunder Pyramid Entrance

On each of the four sides to the pyramid you will find a door, enter each one until you find a room with a mummy inside. (Please note each time you exit the pyramid you will exit through the NORTH door).

On finding the mummy, right click him and select Start-minigame Guardian Mummy.

Starting Pyramid Plunder

Passing Speartraps At Pyramid Plunder

There are Eight room’s within the pyramid, on entering each one you must select Pass spear trap on the wall entering the room. (There is only ONE speartrap per room).

Pick-lock Tomb Door At Pyramid Plunder

Search all the doors in the room to pass into the next room, keep doing this until your in the room for YOUR thieving level. If you try to enter a room that requires a higher thieving level than you currently have, you will get a message explaining you can not enter.

70 Thieving In a Tomb At Pyramid Plunder

Once in your thieving level room start searching all the earns, if you fail keep trying.

When your timer has nearly run out open the sacrophagi if your wanting a little strength exp (Ignore the level 84 mummy) and quickly open the golden chest.

The reason I open both of these last is so I don’t have to kill the mummy or the level 98 Scarab swarm if I should get them.

In every room there is a Leave Room Door.. entering this door will end the mini game before the timer runs out.

On finishing the game drink one sip of antipoison, if you drink whilst searching the urn’s you’ll go through MANY potions.

Tips

Once you’ve run through the game a few times you will soon notice you can search a few urn’s in the previous room before entering your final room and still have enough time to search everything in there.

Although you can take the plundered loot to Simon at the Agility Pyramid and exchange them for some good cash (1250gp for a gold statue) I recommend you forget about them if your want FAST theiving exp.

At level 85 thieving you can receive up to 14k exp for 5 minutes work, I compared the time for the summer garden in soceress’s SUMMER garden and found the minimum time is around 3 minutes to run through twice for 3k exp per Mug.
