Ironman notes

  • Counts as a Slayer task from Vannaka (task: hobgoblins). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
  • Weak to air spells: bring that style for faster kills.
  • A herb source: it drops 11 kinds of grimy herb, useful for Herblore without farming runs.
  • Drops 28 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
  • Drops gold charm, crimson charm, green charm and blue charms for Summoning pouches.
  • Always drops Bones: Prayer XP as you go.
  • It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
