Runescape - Slayer - Mithril Dragons

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Mithril_dragon

"Mithril dragons are not particularly classed as a slayer monster as they do not require a level to slay, however they can only be assigned off Kuradal which is a slayer master that is preferably recommended towards players with 120+ combat. Mithril dragons also give 273 xp per kill whilst on a slayer task, this is extremely high but well matched as their combat level is 304 which is not far apart from "The Queen Black Dragon."

Mithril dragons are unique from the other steel dragons as it uses all three attack styles (Melee, Magic & Ranged) aswell as the fire breath. It is a challenging monster as it most certainly lives up to the combat level of 304. However, one should not be scared of this creature as alike to others, it has it's weaknesses.

There are multiple methods for killing Mithril dragons, but I shall only discuss one. Armadyl storm is at it's peak whilst being launched at Mithril dragons. It's accurate and powerful and tears these creatures down to almost nothing in under a minute. I would most certainly recommend it to anyone who is faced with Mithril dragons.

However, Mithril dragons are not only slain for slayer. Oh no, they have a special item which is particularly special. The Dragon full helm,  many players have hunted for this item and never returned, mainly because it is "very rare" on the drop list for Mithril dragon, but standing at a price of 40 million, so it should be.

Overall I would rate Mithril dragon a 10/10. These are magnificent creatures that had a lot of effort and infrastructure put into them, for many years on Runescape they stood almost as a boss, it is only until now that players can truly seek the reason to why Jagex placed them on Gielenor.

Runescape - Weapon - Abyssal vine whip

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Abyssal_vine_whip

"The abyssal vine whip is an abyssal whip with a whip vine attached to it. It requires 85 Attack and 80 Slayer to wield or to create."

The vine whip has been criticized in every way since the release of it. It was firstly frowned upon as it only gives a +2 strength bonus from the original Abyssal Whip. Then it was criticized for costing over 3 million. However, looking past the criticism, the vine whip seems to be a lot more accurate and powerful than the original whip.

In the recent combat beta, the vine whip has been greatly improved. Personally it is one of my most Favorited weapons in the current game. Simply because it has the strength and accuracy that almost matches Chaotic weapons and does not degrade. Not to mention that the vine whip currently has a special attack which seems very useful in situations where your opponent is frozen, as that is when the special is most at use and can hit up to 150!

Overall I would rate the Abyssal vine whip a 7/10. I have only rated it a 7 because it's special attack is unique to any other in the game. However it can be evaded if your opponent moves out the way of it and is quite rare that it hits above 130's. Also the vine whip is expensive, even for a weapon of such strength and accuracy, it does not meet it's price as the whip is still not as overpowered as the other weapons around it's level.

Runescape - Armour - Tokhaar-Kal

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/TokHaar-Kal

"The Tokhaar-Kal cape or "Rhino Cape" is a cape that can only be obtained by sacrificing the Fire cape and completing all waves of the fight kiln. It gives a +8 strength bonus which is currently the same as the completionist cape. Due to a recent update, the cape has graphically changed, however the stats of the cape are remain. The cape is now a lot more noticeable and now has a particle effect which matches very delicately with the bloom effect."

The Tokhaar-Kal is a well respected cape around Runescape and has become almost a key item to have to be respected as a "Higher Level." The cape is also a key armour piece to match the "max strength bonus gear" which is what most players aim for in Runescape.

The cape itself is outstanding. It is even brought into the wilderness which is a dangerous place to be taking a cape that takes up to 3 hours to obtain. Personally, I adore this cape, it holds so much prospect and admiration that I simply cannot stop wearing it. It matches a lot of outfits that the player may wish to use and also gives some incredible stats which prove to extremely boost the character during combat.

Overall I would give this cape a 10/10. I could not spot any de-buffs with this cape as it is defiantly worth the sacrifice of a Fire cape and worth the time spent obtaining it. The only de-buff about the Tokhaar-Kal is that players may find it hard to obtain and even meet the requirements for.

Runescape - Weapon - Armadyl Godsword

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Armadyl_godsword

"The Armadyl godsword is one of the four godswords. Like all godswords, it requires level 75 Attack to wield. It has a special attack called The Judgement which inflicts 25% more damage with a 50% Special bar drain." 

The Armadyl Godsword was brought into the game around 2007 when god wars was released. It stood out straight away due to it "outstanding" special. The Armadyl Godsword has since been used for mainly player killing as it is both accurate and overpowered. It has earned it's right to be one of the top weapons of all time in Runescape as it has been favoured over most weapons even in today's variety of choice!

The Godsword is also chosen over the others due to it recent drop in price. The Armadyl Godsword still stand as the most expensive, however it is by far the most powerful. Many players refuse to fight those who poses it as it is known to deal some serious damage.

Overall I would give the Armadyl Godsword a 8/10. No matter how "bad ass" this weapon is, it's de-buff is that many players are now choosing the Chaotic Maul over this. The Chaotic Maul appears to hit less accurate but appears to deal more damage, even without a special attack, the Chaotic Maul can peak higher and arguably higher than the Armadyl Godsword.

Runescape - Weapon - Dragon Claws

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_claws

"Dragon claws are a pair of claws made of dragon metal. They were released on the 26th of November 2008. It is a two-handed weapon that requires an Attack level of 60 in order to wield."

Dragon claws are mainly purchased for their special attack. This being due to the special attack on them hitting four times in under a second, these hits can vary from 0 splsashed up to 500. They are also a favoured item for "pures" which are fond of "rushing" other players with them.

The Dragon Claws are considered one of Runescape's overpowered weapons as they often to not disappointing players when killing their opponent. They are currently 9m on the grand exchange and are unstable as "the Combat Evolution" is scaring off most players from purchasing weapons.

Overall I would give the Dragon Claws a 10/10. Sheerly because these set of claws are by far the best weapon to be using when facing an opponent or NPC. There are rarely any complaints about these claws as they are reasonably cheap for the amount of damage they cause. A great piece of weaponry brought into the game!

Runescape - Slayer - Spiritual Mages

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Spiritual_mage

"The Spiritual mage is a potent magic user that can easily kill low-level players. Protect from Magic or Deflect Magic is highly recommended. Like all monsters in the God Wars Dungeon, they are aggressive to any players that do not show affinity to their god. For example, a Zamorak spiritual mage will be aggressive to all players that are not wearing a piece of Zamorak equipment. Spiritual mages require 83 Slayerto kill. They can also give up to 106 slayer xp per kill."

Source of information above:http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Spiritual_mage

Spiritual mages are commonly known for dropping dragon boots. Dragon boots are 152k and are dropped around every 100 kills. They can also drop spin tickets & frozen key parts. (depending on what follower you slay) Spiritual mages are a good income of money as they only require 83 slayer and it is easy to kill up to 100 per hour.

The best method for killing Spiritual mages would be to use protect from magic and to be using a chaotic rapier and be using prayer boosting armour, and aura's. However it is also just as good if not faster to kill them using bandos armour as it gives higher attack & strength bonuses.

Overall I would give Spiritual Mages a 8/10. The only de-buffs I can see towards these monsters would be that Dragon Boots are only 152k, and if you do not receive any on a trip you can end up wasting a lot of money on the supplies. However it entirely depends on what follower you slay as each spiritual mage can be different as to which god they represent. Zamorak being the easiest and bBandos being the hardest.

Runescape - Slayer - Dark Beasts

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_beast

Dark Beasts require 90 slayer to attack and give 225 slayer xp per kill.They can be found in either the Mourner Tunnels or in Kuradals dungeon. The notable items they drop are: Dark Bows.

Dark Beasts are known as one of the easiest and most "AFK'able" monsters that you can kill. Whilst using the Mourners Tunnels you can line most dark beasts into a corner (if lured correctly) and then "power kill" them using the Dwarf Cannon. This may cost more but it's largely increases your kills per hour.

If camped then it is possible to reach 400k an hour, this is presuming that you pick up all the coins and runite items dropped. However there is a fairly good chance that within 230 kills you may receive a Dark Bow, which currently stands at 200k. The Dark Bow is a signature drop from the Dark Beasts so do not expect to receive one if you are not planning on slaying many.

The most sufficient way of slaying the Dark Beast would be a Chaotic Rapier and if you are slaying them in the Mourner Tunnels then it is suggested using a cannon. If both rapier and cannon are combined then you will find killing them a breeze and you will peak to about 250+ kills an hour.

Overall I would give the Dark Beast a 3/10. The drops simply are not worth the times or supply's. 90 is a mockery of this monster, you will find better profits off monsters lower levels and with less requirements.

Runescape - Slayer - Abyssal Demon

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Abyssal_demon

Abyssal Demons require 85 slayer and give 150 slayer xp per kill.They can be found on the top floor of morytania slayer tower or Kuradals dungeon. 

Abyssal Demons are a fairly easy monster to slay. You can make a good ammount of money from just "winter storage scroll'ing" the infernal ashes in which they drop. However they also drops Abyssal Whips, which should be noted as they are around 500k each. Abyssal Demons can give up to 600k an hour from banking the infernal ashes and occasionally receiving a whip drop. Not to mention that the slayer level excludes them from being overcrowded and there are a wide number of them spread across both the dungeon and castle.

The Abyssal Demon would be best slain using either full Dharok's, aslong as your constitution points are below 300, or by using a chaotic rapier. Both methods can kill up to 100 per hour, and since an abyssal whip drop is only predicted to be dropped within 300 or so kills this makes it possible to reach a goal of 2m a day.

Overall I would give Abyssal Demons a rating of 7/10.

The only de-buff of abyssal demons are that they occasionally hit up to 200, this can quickly stack up and if you are not prepared you can find yourself dead. Not to mention that whips are an unstable item that drop from 300 - 700k every week, players can be left holding onto their money for a long period, which can become quite tedious and ineffective for players looking to earn fast money.

Runescape - Slayer - Ganodermic Beast's

Source: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Ganodermic_beast

Ganodermic Beast's are a slayer monster and give 263 slayer xp per kill. They are located in the Polypore dungeon which is  at fairy code (B-I-P) or can be reached by entering the dungeon which is located just North- East of the Duel Arena.

Ganodermic beast's require 95 slayer, they also require a further 73 agility to reach the bottom floor on which they are located. You CANNOT receive Ganodermic beast's as a slayer task if you have under 60 magic.

Ganodermic beast's are a stable and very sufficient source of earning money in Runescape. They are extremely simple to kill as they are weak to both magic and ranged. However they are more commonly slain by using the polypore staff. You can also "safe spot" Ganodermic Beast's which proves useful for camping.

The profit made per hour at Ganodermic beast's can peak to an outstanding 2m. However this entirely depends on the number of Ganodermic flakes that the user obtains and how many other notable drops the user receives.

Overall I would rate Ganodermic Beast's a 9/10.
I have rated them a 9/10 due to the drops being all similar and not having much difference in cash per hour to Frost Dragons. Also 95 slayer is a high requirement for a level 280 monster.

Review - Runescape - MMORPG - Free To Play

Source: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/1/15/Runescape-Logo.jpg

"RuneScape is one of the largest, most expansive online fantasy games on the web today. It has over 175 million registered accounts and a loyal following that continues to make incredible use of its bravery, intuition, cunning and wit to explore the game world, discovering adventure, battling rival clans and conquering a massive online world."


Runescape is a MMORPG which is both Pay to play & Free to play. This is managed by items, weapons, armours and skills that have caps on being a free to play user. However Pay to play users unlock full benefits to the game including more worlds to choose from. The "choose world" option plays a big role in Runescape as some worlds hold better ping than other and are specifically made for a country, an event in Runescape and even a certain ammount of total level. Runescape also holds more content than history itself. You get thrown into the game as you start, you are faced by a number of "trolls" and told you slay the "troll daddy". After you have lashed out on this monster you are then set off on "task's" which show you the basics of the game and such. However you also have the option to skip this and explore the world for yourself. 

The game becomes a fantasy adventure from the point on form where you teleport away from "Burthorpe". You can explore the desert in search of quests and monsters to slay, or you can rummage through the swamps of "canafis" in search of lizards & forgotten vampires that haunt the woods. Or you could simply visit the main cities & towns in Runescape where you can trade valuable items for gold and acquire new friends to accompany your adventures throughout "Gielenor".

Or you could choose the violent and brutal life of combat and slayer. You can visit slayer masters who will give you a certain amount of monsters to slay and once you slay them you will receive a number of slayer points which you can go onto spend on items that cannot be obtained with simply gold alone. Slaying can be done through three styles of combat. Magic, Ranged and Melee. The are all equally as powerful however they all have buffs & debuffs as they are replicates of the combat triangle. For instance, Ranged is powerful against magic but is weak against melee. And melee is weak against magic and it begins to form a triangle. Slayer is also more commonly done for money in Runescape as it is a skill that almost "farms gold".

However for those of you who prefer to evade fighting and slaying there is always a simpler game style. Skilling is more of a chilled & mellow way of levelling your skills without touching a weapon or armour. But don't think it's as easy as 1, 2, 3, as there is a lot of competition in skills such as runecrafting and mining. Most skillers aim to reach the Highscores in attempt to brag about their ranks.

Runescape also has a Highscores which keeps track of players skills and how much experience they have in certain skills. Many players depend on simple yet effective devices like this as many players only play for competition and fame.

Players are also attracted to "player killing" (PK'ing for short) as it is highly common to record yourself pk'ing other players and receiving their loot. Think of it as a sport which almost every member on Runescape is peer pressured into playing.  Players then post their videos on "Youtube". Many players are dedicated to this and spend a lot of time pki'ing. Will you be one of them?

Membership in Runescape is higly reccomended, however on sign-up you receive 14 days free membership trial as a taster. But beware, due to being a trial, you do not receive full membership benefits until you subscribe for membership. Membership is as low as £3.50 when paid by credit card but rises as you choose options such as "sms & phone"

Overall Runescape has a lot of features that attract both young & old. It holds endless entertainment and adventure for players and is also a very seductive time consumer. It is also advised that if you play Runescape that you take regular breaks as the game is highly addictive.
