Where are you farming these Mergargoyles? Outside Gates of Kryta or Beethlum?

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 12:30 AM // 00:30

Beetletun

It doesn't matter though. I only tried them because someone mentioned them and they were constantly draining my energy.

Anyone know a low energy cost attack spell to compliment SS?

The mergoyles hex you with Spirit Shackles which take 5 energy from you every time you wand them.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Ok so how do I counter that? Sorry if these are noob questions. This is my 1st time soloing. I'm getting a little better with it though. Just took out 5 hydras at once. Probably not a bid deal to any vets but it was kind of cool.

Simple, don't attack with that Hex on. Also, don't cast Protective Spirit and Healing breeze when they finish recharging, it wastes energy and time. Only cast them when they are 2 or 3 seconds away from flashing or when they flash.

Descerate Enchantments is a great low energy damage dealer.

Thanks Murder. Also, for healing I am using healing breeze and vigorous spirit. I dropped Orison because I thought vigorous will just keep helping me over 30 seconds and would be more useful than Orison. What do you think about that change? And it only costs 5 energy just like Orison,

k now try trolls in the cave to the west of droks.
you'll need guardian.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 02:13 AM // 02:13

Ill do that Tom. This board is so much more helpful than gamefaqs.

Murder In China · Apr 06, 2006, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Display current skill set and attributes?

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Another place to practice against degen is outside Augury Rock, in Skyward Reach, where the Hydra are. If you turn to the left after you walk down the little path into the opening, there are Storm Kin out there that spam Conjure Phantasm. I usually kill them for the fun when I farm hydra, even though the drops they give aren't really all that great.

Also, the key to beating Mergoyles in Beetletun is Blessed Sig. (or Bonetti's Defense for m/w.) They give crap drops though, so usually just avoid them.

Nevermind about the Avicara. Just took out 4.

I would take out Vigourous Spirit for Guardian since you won't be able to pull of Spiteful Spirit on any trolls when arggoed (disrupting chop - interrup + addititional 20 second recharge).

You can just run past them, they'll lose arggo when you reach the entrance of the cave.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 02:29 AM // 02:29

So cast Guardian, then SS?

Murder In China · Apr 06, 2006, 02:52 AM // 02:52

Yes.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 02:59 AM // 02:59

I just did it and it worked well. At 1st I was running into the cave and aggroing everything. I almost had all of them killed then I died. So I then just pulled and broke them up into 2 groups and took them out.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 06, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

As far as the healing spells, is Healing Breeze generally enough to keep you alive? Like I said I threw in Vigorous because its cheap and give 8 health every time you do anything for 30 seconds.

Are Orison or Insidious Parasite more useful to a solo necro or do I not even need another healer outside of Breeze as long as I constantly keep that running?

Murder In China · Apr 06, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

Insideous Parasite > Orison of Healing.

Insideous Parasite is like a tiny Orison everytime that hexed foe attacks.

Vamp Nosferatu · Apr 06, 2006, 04:22 PM // 16:22

Try to farm outside elona reach for hydra's with a 55 hp necro.
First cast mending, essence bond and watchful spirit.
Then go to some hydra's and cast protective spirit, hydra's always begin to attack with meteor and with meteor you fall down and when you're casting the spell fails so watch out for that.
Keep Protective spirit always on you!
Then you can cast Spiteful Spirit on a hydra so they lose health and slowly die. Try to fight groups of 3, they are easiest to win because they don't do more damage then your enchantments regenerate. If you got 4 or more hydra's on you, you can cast healing breeze to keep your health high, don't use healing breeze on groups of 3 or less, it's a waste of energy.
In your build you must have protection prayers on 12 (highest)
healing prayers on 8 so you have mending on +3.
and the rest on curses for SS.
Just try to have always protective spirit on you and keep an eye on your mana/health bar. And try to cast Spiteful Spirit when you can. And watch out for Meteor.
