I believe I started getting 100% capped with 600 in total bow (short/long/comp count, not crossbows), and 220-230 mech. That's for unarranged (skillful) basilisk. With arranged (perfect) basilisk total bow req goes down considerably (450-500? less?).

That's for making H/F/M arrows.

Capping the shafts is it's own story, and depends on the wood used, and only counts highest bow. This affects the value appraisal of an arrow (and who knows, maybe it actually does has some sort of super secret affect on damage potential).


Fun times!

So, I guess this falls into the category if you have to ask, you shouldn't be hunting them; but here goes...

What's the skill range for a basilisk? Or hele'?

Basilisk are between bristleback peccs and raiders kind of. So, 350 weapon kills them easy enough I think? Can probably get away with less, not sure. They do cast.. fireball I think? And something like halt. So if you can't dodge that or resist the other it might be painful.

From the testing I did back when I was first capping, basilisk is easier to cap than hele (was capping with non-arranged bas, had to use arranged hele).

Don't forget about their friends the shadowbeasts.

True, those too. But there are about what... 7 or so rooms that only spawn basilisks. Granted the better spawn rooms seem to be up in shadowbeasts.. And if you want to get lots of fangs, bring friends to knock the spawn way up and kill everything, that's fun.
