Method Background:

Aberrant Specrtes are one of the most profitable money monsters. Killing them can make you a substantial amount of money per hour because of their drops which include rare herbs, high-level seeds, and sometimes even a red mystic top (getting a top is rare, so we didn't include it in the hourly Gains table above).

Aberrant Spectres have a pretty powerful magic attack, so you should have food with you. You don't need terribly expensive food. You will be banking frequently anyways to store the herbs they drop, so you can bring average food to your killing trips. Its advised to bring along good magic-bonus gear like Black Dragonhide Armor to be effective against the accurate magic hits of the spectres.



If you have finished the Smoking Kills quest, you can find them located in the Desert Slayer Dungeon of Pollnivneach. Spectres are normally found in the Slayer Tower, but the Desert Slayer Dungeon has many more Spectres, and drastically reduces the competition normally experienced at the Slayer Tower.

Notice you need 41 summoning for this method. This is so you can use the Macaw summoning familiar. This summon makes your herb drops 40% rarer, allowing you to acquire more expensive herbs with every kill. I've found it to be most profitable when I pick up guams and everything harralander & above.


Aberrant Spectres are Undead creatures, so they are vulnerable to the effects of the Salve Amulet. The regular Salve Amulet gives a 15% bonus to attack and strength when fighting Undead. The enchanted Salve Amulet gives a 20% bonus to attack and strength when fighting Undead. It's strongly commended that you have one when going up against these monsters.


Method:

Start off at any bank and equip yourself with the suggested gear. In your inventory, you should have a Ring of Slaying, a 2-dose super set, macaw pouch, 5 strawberry baskets, and fill the rest of your inventory with cheap food like Salmon.

Use your ring of slaying to teleport to Sumona. Run south to the well, and climb down the well. You will climb down and find yourself in the Desert Slayer Dungeon. From the smoking kills quest.


To get to the Aberrant Spectres, run north along a narrow corridor until you reach a large open chamber. Head south-west to the Mystic Barrier (direction shown below). Pass through the barrier and you will find a ladder in the small room. Climb down the ladder. After you climb down, head north east and you'll find the Aberrant Spectres.



These monsters aren't aggressive, so you don't need to be too nervous down here. Start off by drinking your first doses of the super set, then summon a macaw. Keep the herbs mentioned in the "Gains" table and Method background above - items like Guam and Harralander & above. Also keep things that you can profitably alch, such as adamant legs, lava battlestaff, etc. Look carefully on the ground for seeds and herbs.

While eating, finish salmons first. Empty out the strawberry baskets and eat strawberries for additional healing. Around 6-7 minutes into the trip, drink your second doses of the super set. Teleport to Castle Wars using the Ring of Dueling, resupply, and repeat using the Ring of Slaying to return to the Desert Slayer Dungeon.
