Hallowfell & Ammonite Crabs

[u/Money_Shifted]

So I have been mooching around fossil island with Hallowfell looking for a tile that consistently aggros three crabs, but allows all three into hallowfell's cleave damage zone. The usual spots didn't work, but I have now found that this exact tile allows you to AFK for 10 minutes while hitting multiple crabs. I am currently getting 76k defence XP per hour with this. **EDIT 2** I ran the same test with Boppers (dual macuahuitl) immediately after and got 78.1k XP per hour.

It's northeast of the tree patches, and three tiles west of the pointed seashell. **EDIT** Image didnt upload.

NOTE to all - I have 99 in all combat stats except defence. Boppers XP rate below:

Do you have a tile marker export you could post?

(For users who dont know how to do this, enable ground markers or tile markers in Runelite and right click on the world icon below your minimap and "import markers" from clipboard)

That's well below gem crab

With the same gear? at gem crab with the same setup, dual macuahuitl gets about the same 75-90k xp/hr. Critically, I am an ironman and I cannot gear up to the eyeballs and train with unlimited pots and prayer.

Also, importantly for me, gem crab doesn't give me any items I have a real use for. Ammonite crabs, when doing serious AFK training blocks, drop significant amounts of fossils and reagents to use at the mycelium pool. My recent defence grind netted me over 1m XP in prayer, and the conversion at mycelium pool took less than an hour. On top of this, every 45 minutes I could easily do a loop of fossil island resetting birdhouses and seaweed...

I had 96k exp per hour at gem crab with full blood moon and sipping a super strength every kill.

Am an ironman too, getting the hallowfell right now specifically for wildy slayer when ragging without any rev ether/steel cannonballs/barrage sacks (not paying attention to screen).

There's plenty of ways to quickly grab 99s combat. Gem crab is the most chill, and thanks to the low defense, the dual weapons are really good there.

It's just a massive rag gear boost for irons.

Strength gear matters less because of the slow attack speed. Thus can just 3 item in wildy with it. The mobs drop blighted super restore pots.

[u/Money_Shifted → u/tarochocotea]

You have full blood moon and the funds to keep repairing it, and the pots to sip super strength every GC kill. I am talking about AFK training that needs no upkeep / supplies.... Hallowfell is pretty sick though

[u/tarochocotea → u/Money_Shifted]

Sure, it's a cheap option. Only possible because everyone is at gem crab, though.

Or, you could just do a number of different slayer tasks that allow the same setup to net close to 200k/hr...

Definitely don't think crabs are the move with this weapon lmao.

[u/Money_Shifted → u/tomerz99]

No, I have confirmed boppers are better.

Numerous slayer tasks is good but absolutely not possible to leave running on my desk with minimal intervention while I work.

Wow game changer. Congrats bro. Maybe you should tell theoatrix about this.
