Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success

General Description

Swamp tar is a valuable item used in Herblore, and cave slime drop 1-6 of them for each kill, making this a reliable money-maker.

At lower levels the Lumbridge Swamp Caves are a good spot; at higher levels you are better off in the Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon, because your faster kill speed means the three in Lumbridge aren't enough to keep you busy.

At higher levels, the magpie is an excellent forager that works well in the dungeon, gathering rings and uncut gems -- I've included an approximate value of its foraged items in the gold proceeds for the method.

Specific Method Details

Use the fairy rings to "A J Q" to get to the Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon, then run east, north, west and continue all the way to the far northwest corner where there are six of the monsters. Remember your covered light source -- a bullseye lantern works well, or a sapphire lantern if you have that instead.

These monsters poison on contact so you need super antipoisons, and super attack/strength pots will increase kill speed, but you don't need food. Since the swamp tar stacks you can stay here a very long time if you bring lots of super antis.

Be sure to take the iron boots, which seem useless but sell for good money!
