Ironman notes

  • Counts as a Slayer task from Raptor, Vannaka, Chaeldar, Sumona, Duradel, Kuradal, Morvran and Laniakea (task: kalphite). Killing it on task earns Slayer XP and points.
  • Weak to stab weapons, arrows (bows) and fire spells: bring that style for faster kills.
  • Aggressive: it attacks on sight, which is handy for AFK kills once your gear outclasses it.
  • Drops 8 kinds of seed, which keeps farm patches stocked.
  • Drops crimson charm, blue charm, gold charm and green charms for Summoning pouches.
  • 3 of its drops come noted, so they don't fill your inventory.
  • It can also roll the shared rare drop table (gems, key halves and bulk supplies); luck items improve those odds.
