Hobgoblins Gear Setup
- Weapon: Use a weapon suitable for your combat level. Melee or ranged equipment works well.
- Armor: Wear the best armor available to you, depending on your combat style. For melee, consider dragonhide or better, and for ranged, use good d’hide or karil’s crossbow.
- Food: Hobgoblins can hit fairly hard for lower-level players, so bring some food. Lobsters, swordfish, or better are good choices.
- Anti-poison: Some hobgoblins can poison you, so it’s a good idea to bring an anti-poison potion or antipoison to negate this effect.
Location:
Hobgoblins can be found in various locations throughout Gielinor, but there are several notable spots where they can be found in larger numbers. These locations include:
- Edgeville Dungeon: You can find a decent number of hobgoblins in the Edgeville Dungeon. This is a good option for lower-level players.
- Hobgoblin Peninsula (near Crafting Guild): This location is often popular due to the concentration of hobgoblins, and it is closer to a bank.
Killing Hobgoblins:
