General Method Description

Brine rats are one of the most underrated "money monsters" in the game -- they are relatively easy to kill and drop large numbers of death runes, noted fish and other useful items.

Fighting them with level 50 skills is pushing the limit of viability, but if you can complete the necessary quest and do have level 47 Slayer, it is worthwhile both for drops and combat training. With level 70 skills they are relatively easy to kill, and I recommend using Dharok's if you are comfortable with the set and have a good Internet connection -- you can kill them about 15-20% faster than is possible with With level 90 skills and up they are easy to kill, and I recommend using Dharok's if you are comfortable with the set and have a good Internet connection -- you can kill them about 15-20% faster than is possible with standard melee gear, a whip and defender. You also often get one-hit kills. Remember that you do not have to get yourself down to death's doorstep to be effective with Dharok's! Even 20 HP or so is fine, and is quite safe if you pay attention.
