Dust Devils are slayer monsters located in the Smoke Dungeon, Catacombs of Kourend, and the Wilderness Slayer Cave. They are popularly known to provide players with very high slayer rates when bursted and drop valuable loot like the air battlestaff, mystic air staff, and the Dragon chainbody which can compensate for the rune cost.

Players must always wear facemask or slayer helmet when fighting the Dust devils. Without any of them, they will take rapid damage and reduced stats from the Clouds of dust.
The Dust Devils can only attack with melee and Protect from melee will prevent all damage.
Bursting Dust Devils is the most efficient way to kill them. Start by activating Protect from Melee, then draw their aggression. The quickest method is drinking a Goading Potion, which instantly aggros nearby Dust Devils, or using the special attack of Dinh’s Bulwark. For the Dust Devils that don’t get aggressive to you, use darts to grab their attention by attacking them.
The best location for bursting is in the Catacombs of Kourend, since it is a multi-combat zone and the Dust Devils are more crowded. This area is popular, so you may need to hop world to find a free spot. Once you’re in a free world, aggro all nearby Dust Devils, then position yourself in the southeastern corner and walk between the two tiles highlighted below to stack them before bursting to maximize your efficiency.
The Average Dust Devil drop is worth 3.2K GP or 4.5K when on Konar task.
