Topics covered

Kurask

  • (0:00) Gnomonkey says Kurask give about 35k Slayer XP an hour and roughly 1.3 million gp an hour in total loot on average.
  • (0:00) Gnomonkey says Kurask are basically just better gargoyle tasks in every way.
  • (0:00) Kurask require 70 Slayer to attack, and need leaf-bladed weaponry, broad ammunition or a Slayer's staff with the Slayer spell to damage.
  • (0:00) The leaf-bladed battleaxe is the optimal weapon against Kurask and is only about 20% less DPS than a whip.
  • (0:00) Kurask have a fairly low weight of 4 from Duradel, so it is a pretty uncommon task.
  • (0:33) For Kurask the leaf-bladed battleaxe is the only unique item; Bandos can be downgraded to fighter torso and obsidian legs, primordial boots to dragon boots, ferocious gloves to Barrows gloves, and torture to fury.
  • (1:05) Gnomonkey brings a Saradomin godsword on Kurask even though it does not damage them, because it still restores prayer and health based on what would have been hit; the same applies to any stat-restoring special like the blowpipe.
  • (1:05) Gnomonkey likes to finish Kurask tasks in a single trip, bringing two divine super combats, ten prayer potions and two sharks, because their drops cannot fit in a bloated inventory with just two divine super combats.
  • (1:20) The best place to fight Kurask is Prifddinas, in the Iorwerth Dungeon, where they have a fairly common crystal shard drop that boosts average GP a kill from 4768 to 5454.
  • (1:39) A poll had recently passed giving superior Slayer monsters a guaranteed crystal shard drop, which Gnomonkey says will make Kurask even better once added.
  • (1:39) Without Prifddinas unlocked, Kurask can be fought in the Relleka Slayer Dungeon, but Gnomonkey recommends finishing Song of the Elves if the player already has the stats.
  • (1:39) Gnomonkey finds Woox's aggression plugin really useful for making the Kurask task more AFK.
  • (2:07) Kurask have a superior, King Kurask, which is just a harder Kurask; Gnomonkey uses protect from melee against its devastating melee attacks and otherwise fights it like a regular Kurask.
  • (2:07) A task of 152 Kurask took Gnomonkey about 40 minutes, one of the longest regular tasks he does, at about 35k Slayer XP an hour (closer to 40k, inflated by three King Kurask spawns) and a decent 40k combat XP an hour.
  • (2:38) The full Kurask task gave 650k gp according to RuneLite plus seven crystal shards worth another 100k, for a total of 750k.
  • (2:38) Gnomonkey says Kurask are on the lower end of Slayer XP rates but the GP is the real showstopper.

Slayer

  • (0:33) For Kurask Gnomonkey brings a herb and gem sack for inventory management, desert amulet and Karamja gloves for retasking, alchemy runes in a rune pouch, a bone crusher for prayer XP, and a Holy wrench for saved prayer doses.
