General Method Description

Abyssal demons are one of the most famous monsters in the game, since they are the only source of the legendary abyssal whip, a standby for all high-level characters. At one time, whips were extremely valuable, and many players got very rich by "farming" whips from the demons. Over the years, the value of these weapons has varied quite a bit; my whip cost me 3 million when I bought it in mid-2006, but by 2008 the price had dropped down to only 1 million. The price has since recovered, but their drop rate is also quite low, thus abyssal demons aren't the "get rich quick" scheme they once were. But they are still a good drop, and the demons themselves are far easier to kill than their level suggests. They also have other pretty good drops, including herbs, addy bars and plenty of runite items. In fact many of their drops are alchables and "miscellaneous", which explains the high gold "output" value of 80k.

Note that only an extremely high level method is defined here, because the high Slayer level requirement means most players have maxed combat skills by the time they can fight abyssals.
