Champions' Challenge/Strategies

The following items can speed up collecting the scrolls and slightly negate the cost, or provide experience for those unable to trade. You can earn a particularly high amount of Prayer experience on this grind due to the potentially immense number of monsters you'll be killing.

• Dwarf multicannon and steel or granite cannonballs
  • Completing the medium, hard, and elite tiers of the Combat Achievements will allow your dwarf multicannon to hold 35, 45, and 60 cannonballs respectively
• Bonecrusher for enemies that drop bones
• Ash sanctifier for enemies that drop ashes
• Herb sack
• Gem bag
• Nature and Fire runes for casting High Level Alchemy
• The Wilderness weapons have a passive effect of increased damage and accuracy against NPCs in the Wilderness and can considerably increase kills per hour there

Guthan's equipment can be super effective for long trips without using prayer potions. The set effect when all four pieces are worn gives players a 25% chance to heal the wearer equal to the amount of damage dealt. Generally, players can rely on the set effect to over heal the damage taken at most or all the locations below. Players may also choose to only swap to Guthan's when hitpoints are low and swapping back to their higher DPS gear when full health; thus, only sacrificing a small amount of DPS in exchange for healing/longer trips.

During the course of obtaining this scroll, the Arceuus Spellbook can be used to reanimate the Ensouled imp heads that drop for additional prayer XP. Reanimated imps do have a chance to drop a scroll.

The imp champion scroll can be earned passively while killing imps for ecumenical keys in the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon or for getting essence in the God Wars Dungeon to fight K'ril Tsutsaroth.

A number of imps spawn close to the bank on the southern shore of Hosidius. This bank is often used for activities, such as training Fletching and Herblore, due to the fact that random events can spawn while the player is stood by it. An added bonus is that imps often wander very close by and by using a ranged weapon, you can passively get kills as you train other skills. The Magic longbow gives a high chance of killing an imp in one shot and the Dark bow special attack guarantees a one shot kill. The Lightbearer can increase the rate at which your special attack energy recovers for this purpose.

With this method, the cannon can sometimes hit all 6 imps on the Hosidius beach. The western most imp can only be hit if it walks south. The cannon needs to be placed on the specific tile in single-way combat, otherwise the cannon will lose line of sight of some imps. Often, imps get stuck behind trees and bushes so you must manually attack them when this happens. Rarely, the cannon will kill goblins that wander south in the nearby mine, which may drop the goblin champion scroll. Bringing the Xeric's talisman and a close teleport to a bank, e.g. Enchanted lyre(i) teleport to Neitiznot, will be a fast way to optionally bank beads.

One way to increase the number of kills per hour while using this method is to put your player-owned house in Hosidius and teleport between the Ardougne Monastery using the Ardougne Cloak and the Hosidius cannon location using your house teleport. Whenever your cannon runs out of cannonballs, teleport to Hosidius using your house teleport (can be right-clicked to teleport directly outside), run to the cannon to refill it, and teleport back to the Ardougne Monastery to continue killing more imps. This method is only efficient if using stamina potions or other ways of refilling your run energy frequently in addition to not picking up any imp drops, and is best served using a fast-hitting weapon which can hit at a range, such as a toxic blowpipe. Pay close attention to the game chat, since the scroll can drop at the Hosidius cannon location while you're not there, and you will need to teleport back to go find it.

Kastori contains a small basement in the northern most house, containing 4 imps. The imps respawn every 30 seconds and can easily be dispatched without fear of them teleporting away. If using a ranged weapon such as the Scorching bow or Magic longbow, the crates in the centre of the room can be shot over. The only time the player should have to move during this is if an imp gets stuck in the north west corner of the room, behind the ladder. Standing on the tile south west of the ladder can help reduce the amount of tiles outside of the player's range. If banking is desired, the Pendant of ates provides a quick teleport back to Kastori.

To make the most of this method, world hopping is required. Two worlds can be hopped between without incurring any meaningful downtime from respawning. If you do not wish to world hop, Kastori itself contains many imps. Climbing up the ladder and killing a few while waiting for them to respawn will be slower than world hopping, but potentially more laid back. For a more passive method, training such as Fletching or casting High Level Alchemy can also be done in between respawns without needing access to a bank.

During the course of obtaining this scroll, the Arceuus Spellbook can be used to reanimate the Ensouled goblin heads that drop for additional prayer XP. Reanimated goblins do have a chance to drop a scroll.

The goblin champion scroll can be earned while killing goblins for essence in the God Wars Dungeon to fight General Graardor, and while killing General Graardor's minions: Sergeant Strongstack, Sergeant Steelwill, and Sergeant Grimspike. This method is the most time efficient if you already plan on doing a lot of trips to General Graardor, but if you want to get the challenge scroll as quickly as possible, this method is not optimal.

The goblin filled barn between Draynor Manor and Mill Lane Mill is a viable spot to use the dwarf multicannon and can result in approximately 2,300 kills an hour. Although the area is not multicombat, goblins generally die fast enough that it does not matter. While cannoning here, you can either actively attack goblins yourself with the cannon or let the cannon kill them with auto-retaliate on.

The Skeleton champion scroll can be earned passively while killing Calvar'ion or Vet'ion, or from killing Skeletons in the Barrows tunnels to increase the player's reward potential.

If you are planning to train up your Magic skill through bursting or barraging, while better alternatives are available, you can opt to kill monkey skeletons in the Ape Atoll Dungeon. This offers lower experience rates and therefor would be more expensive than the alternatives, but it does offer a pretty decent chance to obtain the scroll passively on the way to 99 Magic. Using this method, you can expect between 650-800 kills an hour, given how much attention is given.

Skeletons can be killed in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon by Elvarg for approximately 770 kills an hour. Your aim here is to manually kill the level 25 skeletons in the northernmost area of the cave by the rope to the surface. Once they are all dead, run south and kill the level 45 skeletons on a double-hit spot in your cannon's range. Place the cannon so that it has a slight line of sight to the level 25s. When the level 25s respawn, run back up there and kill them again before returning to the level 45s.

A less intensive method is to set up a cannon at the south-west Wilderness mine. Stand in the rocks north-west of the cannon to minimise the amount of time engaged in single-way combat. Also, you may bring a ranged weapon to safespot them from behind the rocks while the cannon fires at all skeletons.

The skeletons in the Catacombs of Kourend are a vastly slower option to the ones under Crandor, as a cannon cannot be used, but if you are not planning on using a cannon to speed up the process, these offer a good alternative while also passively dropping pieces of the Dark Totem, which on average would result in 10-11 totem pieces, assuming you go roughly on rate.

• Salve Amulet or its imbued versions.

Although much slower to kill than other zombies, undead druids are the only monster that drops the mask of ranul. If attempting to fill slots in the collection log and willing to take longer to earn the zombie champion scroll, killing undead druids until getting the mask of ranul could save time in the long run. They are relatively easy to kill with range while paying little attention since you can pray Protect from Magic and use the altar in the western part of the dungeon.

Located in Zemouregal's Base east of Varrock, armoured zombies drop the broken zombie axe in addition to the zombie champion scroll. Having 85 hitpoints, these variants are much stronger than the standard zombie variants. Players may wish to kill armoured zombies for their champion scroll if wishing to fill out collection log slots as with the druids mentioned above. However, after obtaining the zombie axe, players may wish to kill a more efficient variant as the champion scroll drops at the same rate for all variants. Players may find Guthan's equipment beneficial here to extend trips.

Alternatively, the armoured zombies in Zemouregal's Fort can be killed for a chance to acquire the broken zombie helmet in addition to the aforementioned zombie axe. This variant is stronger still, with 110 hitpoints, but comes with an improved drop rate of 1/600 instead of 1/800.

Killing zombie pirates at the chaos temple is profitable. More kills per hour may be obtained with use of a cannon and a Venator bow. 1,000 kills per hour or more is possible, if not taking banking or disruption due to player killers into account. More information may be found at the article Money making guide/Killing zombie pirates (Max efficiency).

Cannoning zombies in the Graveyard of Shadows is the fastest method for obtaining their scroll, being approximately 1,400 kills an hour.

For gear, prioritise range bonus, bearing in mind that you are in the Wilderness and that your items may be at risk.

Try and hide behind tombstones to interrupt the zombies' pathing, this will allow you to remain out of combat and your cannon to hit multiple zombies for more kills per hour.

The Wizards' Guild requires 66 Magic to enter. In the basement there are multiple zombies behind a fence and a cannon can be set up to achieve approximately 740 kills an hour.

Important: Bring Law and Air runes to use Telekinetic Grab to retrieve your scroll when it drops.

During the course of obtaining this scroll, the Arceuus Spellbook can be used to reanimate the Ensouled giant heads that drop for additional prayer XP. Reanimated giants do have a chance to drop a scroll.

The Giant champion scroll is one of the most common due to the number of giants slain while training Slayer. On the way to 99 Slayer, there's a considerable chance of getting the scroll.

The scroll is also often obtained by players looking to fight Obor or Bryophyta due to the large number of giants that need to be killed to obtain their respective keys.

The Giant Pit in Shayzien is a viable location to grind for this scroll.

Another method, albeit slower, is to use the cannon in the Giants' Den, the benefit here being the opportunity to receive dark totem pieces along the way.

When set up correctly, this location can yield approximately 1,400 kills per hour. Setup your cannon in the location on the map below and stand within the n-shaped mithril rocks. As this is in a single combat zone kill any hobgoblins that get too close to ensure your cannon continues to fire at all targets. This method requires you stand in level 31 Wilderness if you want the fewest number of hobgoblins interrupting your cannon, so players may look to bring some food and gear with magic defence to avoid being tele blocked by player killers before they can escape at level 30 Wilderness using any eligible teleport.

The peninsula north-east of the Hosidius vinery (Fairy code AKR) is a viable location for this scroll. When a cannon is set up in the indicated spot, the hobgoblins can be partially safespotted by standing to the south, on the east shore just south of where the water dips in. Most hobgoblins will either be corner trapped or stuck on the north side of the water.

Ghouls spawn in two locations west of Canifis. The southern spot is the most optimal. Use the gravestones to safespot the ghouls, allowing your cannon to fire freely at all enemies in this single combat area. 800 kills are possible an hour.

Earth warriors are found in a single location in the Edgeville Dungeon. This area is in the Wilderness so it is advised to come prepared for player killers. Even if tele blocked, the entrance to the Edgeville dungeon is not far away, so players may consider bringing more food to have a better chance of surviving while running away from a player killer.

One must decide the risk they are willing to take when gearing for this task. It's perfectly possible to achieve this scroll using as few as three items, but lower levels or those that want faster kills may wish to bring more. A cannon can be used in this dungeon.

If the player chooses to use auto retaliate and minimise the attention required for this scroll, whenever you lose aggression you can comfortably run between the two chambers within which the Earth warriors spawn.

Jogres are best killed on the upper level of the Pothole Dungeon with a cannon and by doing so can net approximately 650 kills per hour. Jogres drop medium clue scrolls at a rate of 1/129, so one can expect to receive 38 medium clue scrolls if on rate for the champion scroll.

During the course of obtaining this scroll, the Arceuus Spellbook can be used to reanimate the Ensouled demon heads that drop for additional prayer XP. However, Reanimated demons do not drop a scroll.

Although rare, K'ril Tsutsaroth's minion, Zakl'n Gritch, is considered a lesser demon and is capable of dropping the champion scroll. If you plan on killing K'ril for slayer, drops, or the pet, you will gain a small amount of kill count along the way. This is not a good method for the scroll itself.

Lesser demons in the Wilderness Slayer Cave top out around 600 kills per hour if 3-iteming with a cannon and Webweaver, as well as dropping 1,599,220.00 in loot per hour and 15k prayer XP/hour if using an Ash sanctifier. They can be killed passively through wilderness slayer tasks to allow for use of the Slayer helm, extra profit from Larran's keys and to gain Slayer XP and points.

The Charred Dungeon has 6 lesser demon spawns within a cannonable, multicombat area. Using a Dwarf Multicannon, over 500 kills per hour can easily be achieved while semi-AFK. There is no safe spot in this location, but all damage can be mitigated with Protect from Melee. Charred Island has an unboostable level 60 Sailing requirement and has a buildable bank chest on the island.

Using a cannon in the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon can net approximately 300 to 450 kills per hour.

You may want to consider trying for this scroll prior to the skeleton scroll as there's the possibility of your cannon killing nearby skeletons as you go for it. The skeleton kills per hour will be absolutely miniscule, but there is always the chance of a lucky drop that may cut down the remainder of your grind.

Using a Venator bow in the Catacombs of Kourend can get around 200 to 250 kills per hour as a low intensity method. If you have a decent prayer bonus (Ring of the Gods, Devout Boots) you can pray Protect from Melee and you'll only need to pay attention to re-pot and reset aggro. If you do this method you are also likely to get Ancient Shards and Dark Totem pieces along the way.
