Those who are assigned a strykewyrm task will find that they lure strykewyrms from the ground, but they may wish they hadn�t; once roused, a strykewyrm will do their very best to take them down! Three breeds of strykewyrm are known to the Slayer masters of Runescape: jungle strykewyrms (level 73 Slayer) can be found near the coast north-west of Oo�glog; desert strykewyrms (level 77 Slayer) stir the sand east of Al Kharid (over the stile by the palace); and ice strykewyrms (level 93 Slayer) churn up the ice in a cave near to where you find the Muspah (but only after you�ve completed the Tale of the Muspah). Ice strykewyrm assignments are unique to Kuradal. You will need to own a TzHaar fire cape to be assigned them, and you will need to wear a fire cape to inflict any damage. As with other Slayer creatures, each strykewyrm has a rare drop, which should prove to be very useful for slayers, mages and rangers. The jungle and desert strykewyrms, respectively, drop the hexcrest and the focus sight, which give combat and Slayer bonuses for Magic and Ranged (much like the black mask already does for melee). Indeed, anyone with a slayer helmet, focus sight and hexcrest can combine them all into a full slayer helmet, which incorporates all of these items� bonuses into one slayertastic piece of headgear. The ice strykewyrms� unique drop, the staff of light, can be used as a slayer staff, has stats roughly equivalent to a dragon weapon, causes +15% Magic damage, has a special attack that reduces any melee damage that is received by 50% for one minute AND has a 1/8 chance of not using up runes each time a damage-dealing spell is cast with it! The rune-saving effect can be combined with a full set of combat robes (improving the chance to 1/5) or battle robes (for an impressive 1/2 chance of saving runes). Also, any time the staff does not save your runes, the robes themselves will still have their usual chance of saving you any mind, chaos, death or blood runes used by the combat spell you are casting. These robe sets can both be earned as rewards from the Fist of Guthix minigame. From beneath it devours� Happy slaying everyone! Mod Chris L RuneScape Content Developer In other news...

Few more updates like this and I might reconsider coming back to runescape, but knowing jagex, they will probably fall for all the people crying because they either dont have 93 slayer or can't get a fire cape...

Slayer Posts: 2,988 Group: Event Leader Member #1,100 Joined: July 21, 2008 Runescape Username The Rock 31 Homeworld 1337	a long awaited update, rangers and mages have been ignored for slayer for years now, good job with this jagex! it's about time rangers and mages are getting more attention, i am personally sick and tired of melee getting all the attention even tho melee is my favourite in the combat triangle, rangers and mages need attention to. now jagex needs to fix the dark bow spec and come out with more magic gear. hopefully this year sees more mage gear out of anything. Melee and rangers have alot of stuff as it is, rangers finally got there 'black mask' and so did mages, but mage needs more attention out of the whole combat triangle that's non-slayer related now. the staff is a step in the right direction, now for better mage gear and damage re-balance ;D. good update =). -EDIT: Soso do you plan on making a guide for these monsters? i am thinking of doing slayer so i can see what the level 93 monster is like, i might find some weaknesses for it. personally i think the fire surge spell would own it with the new slayer helmet if you have mage bonus in it :).

Yeah probably, planning to change submissions sometime, but I guess these are worth making a guide for now XD Made a temporary forum section for submissions in the sexy websites category lol. Love this update, they are a nice addition to slayer Pretty long task, I've only killed about 100 so far and it's taken me well over an hour, even using turmoil. But the loot is good, made over 1m from the 100 kills and that's without any of the new items. Other than the fact the range helm has messed up one of my maxing videos yet again, they're also nice additions.
