RuneScape Cockroach Soldier Guide
A guide on killing level 83 cockroach soldiers.

OK, first off i would recommend at least 70 combat before even attempting to kill roaches. I would suggestmeleeing, but you can also range them. This is what you should wear when you are meleeing cockroach soldiers. It may also be good to wear a rune full helm, I prefer not too because its an extra 20k for about 20 more defense points. Also, you will want to bring food along.
As a ranger, come equipped with this:

You can choose your own type of ammo, I prefer iron arrows because they are cheap. If you haven’t done dragon slayer, then wear a studded body. Also, when ranging bring food, because cockroaches do have a ranged attack that hits a bit harder then their melee, though less often.
This should be what your inventory looks like:

I bring the fly fishing stuff to fish trout/salmon for food afterwards, very helpful.
This is where the cockroaches lay:

That’s just about all there is to say, goodbye, and good luck!

Nice ideas!why have you got tags that are irelevant to your topic?You forgot to do it for mages.What if you are a pure with 1 defence like me?
if your a pure with 1 defense, DO NOT TRY to kill these, they will hit constant 8-9s on you. The irrelivant tags get more views. Thanks for the comment, maybe ill post a second guide. (dont forget to digg)
Btw i am the author of this article.
I might post a mage guide, i wouldnt suggest maging them because they have a ranged secondary,which means that it will hit mages hard. The roaches ranged attacks can hit up to 11 ant he melee can hit up to 9.
