General Method Description

Gargoyles are one of the highest level Slayer monsters in RuneScape, and one of the least popular for players fighting them just for combat or drops. Traditionally this has been due to two main reasons: low-valued drops, and the difficulty of fighting them while multitasking. The latter issue arises because you must bring a rock hammer and "use" it on the monster when it is near death to finish it off; many players consider this a nuisance. But the drops issue has changed dramatically, due to the high demand for granite mauls, which are the gargoyle's unique drop. You can usually get about one of these per hour, in addition to some other goodies as well.

The fastest way to kill gargoyles is using the Dharoks set; this provides about a 15% kill rate advantage over a whip and defender. But you obviously need to be careful doing this, and from a profit standpoint, also need to take into account the cost of repairing the armor at your armor stand.

I take with a spirit terrorbird here in case I get lucky with the unnoted bar drops these monsters sometimes provide.
