Ironman notes

  • Weak to air spells: bring that style for faster kills.
  • Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
  • A herb source: it drops 11 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
  • Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
