I. Introduction
Ankou are a pretty good candidate to train combat on for a few reasons. One, they are undead, so you can make full use of a salve amulet. Two, they are not very hard, which means you can easily AFK them for a while if you need to and they won'y hit hard. Thrid, they drop Gold Charms almost constantly.
You make approx. 75k an hour on drops.
Ankou come in 3 varieties: Level 75, Level 82, and Level 86.
The Level 75 has 60 HP and can hit up to 9. It is in a room by itself.
The Level 82 has 65 HP and can hit up to 11. It is in a room with one spawn of skeletons (Level 68).
The Level 86 has 70 HP and can hit up to 12. It is in a room with 2 spawns of Ghosts (Level 76).
Drops (for all varieties): Death Runes (10), Blood Runes (5-11), Law Runes (2), Noted Pure Essence (15), Clue Scroll (lvl 3), Grimy Herbs, Charms (all varieties), Bass, Fried Mushrooms, Adamant Arrows, Noted Mithril Ore, and a few other lesser drops including seeds.
II. Location
Ankou are in the bottom Level of the Stronghold of Security. The entrance to the Stronghold is in the middle of the Barbarian Village. After making your way to the bottom floor, go to the portal just east of the entrance to get to the best 2 spawns, or go north to get to the other spawn.
I reccomend training on either the Level 86 of 82 spawns because they are always less crowded, and the spawns of either Skeletons or Ghosts add to the amount of xp you can get per hour.
III.Set Ups and XP rates
GENERAL
I HIGHLY recommend use of a salve ammy or salve ammy (e), but if you don't have it, a fury or glory works too.
Obsidain, Fire, God Cloak, or Cape of Achievement (untrimmed or trimmed) all work fine for capes.
For gloves I use a combat brace, but any type of RFD gloves better than mithril would do the trick. Combat brace is handy if you have Ankou for a Slayer task.
GUTHAN'S + SARA SWORD
42k XP per hour
75k Profit per hour
Also, the inventory can be adjusted for a set of 'non-parishable' armour, such as proselyte, full dragon, or full bandos.
When using Guthan's, I also used Burst of Strength and Clarity of thought. They help fighting along after you use a dragon battleaxe special attack. They can be replaced with Restore potions or ommited entirely depending on what you want to get for XP per Hour. If you are using prayer pots, a Holy wrench would help (but I don't have one, so I can't put it here).
The sharks are just back-up food and the Varrock tele is just a fast escape if needed.
The dragon battle-axe helps out on faster kills, but can be omitted as neccissary.
PROSELYTE + SARA SWORD
67k xp per hour
22k loss per hour
This method comes out at a loss, but with more xp per hour. This is really not full proselyte, but helm of Neitzitnot has only one less prayer bonus and far better defence bonuses than the Proselyte Sallet(helm).
I repotted my super set every 6 minutes to get the most out of them. If you wish to save some money though, add time inbetween repottings.
I usually let my prayer get to 48 and the repot.
V. Technique
I usually switch off between the 82 and 86 spawns just so that I always have something attacking me. After they stop auto-attacking you, either run to a different room and switch spawns or run to a different room (making sure you pass both Portals of Death) and run back into the same room. As I said before, I don't use the level 75 spawn as it is almost always crowded.
Training on Ankou is pretty strainght forward. Start off with your pimary training wep, and when you get down to around 50 health, switch to guthan's and heal yourself. DBA spec as neccisary, usually after your attack and defence come back up to their normal levels.
Ferarriman has shown me that you CAN run to the wall to make them become agressive again.
My Combat Levels are 81 Attack, 90 Strength, 77 Defence, 82 HP, and 70 Prayer.
Have fun.
