Safespotting

You can lure a head guard to the crate north of the bank in the middle of the Shayzien camp.

Another safespot is 9 squares south and 2 squares east of the pictured spot. The spears planted in the ground act as the barrier to shoot over.

Another spot with a head guard is just west of/behind Kourend Castle. Walk through the castle and out the back door. You can safespot behind the triple-stacked crates by the northern defensive ballista, as shown in the picture. Similarly, there is another head guard inside the castle on the ground floor in the north-west room. He can be safespotted by standing behind the table.

Another spot with a head guard is to the south of Port Piscarilius and above the docks. You can safe spot behind the solitary rock. The head guard spawns on the marked yellow tile and can be attacked from the safe spot.
