[hide=Slayer] The base slayer gear is as follows (alternatives in brackets): [For all slayer monsters except those mentioned under other weapons] Chaotic rapier (whip) Bandos body + legs (Verac's skirt with either fighter torso or proselyte top) [Depending on prayer/accuracy needs] Fire cape/Soul Wars cape/Ardougne cloak 3 Barrows gloves (your best rfd gloves, at least rune) Dragon boots (rune boots) Amulet of fury (glory) Dragon defender (rune defender) Berserker ring (i)/ferocious ring if slaying in Kuradal's Dungeon (berserker ring, warrior ring) [Most important] Full slayer helmet. [For magic defence on waterfiends/aquanites] Karil's top and elite void skirt (black dragonhide body and chaps) [Crush attacks to use on waterfiends] Chaotic maul (Saradomin sword, Zamorakian spear) [stab attacks for higher-levelled dragons, when not using rapier] Korasi's sword (Zamorakian spear, leaf-bladed sword) Task-specific items such as mirror shields, antifire shields/potions, elemental shields, rock hammers, crystal chimes Cannon (optional, up to personal preference) Slayer setups generally emphasise strength bonus, which increases the average damage of each succesful hit (slayer monsters usually having rather low defence, hitting is not a problem). Secondly, prayer bonus is important to keep the cost of prayer potions down (as you slay with piety on, to increase the speed of your kills. This is cost-effective and highly recommended). As a rule of thumb, +10 prayer bonus or above is good, but don't overdo it (anything above +20 is a waste). Defence and accuracy bonus are usually not fretted over (any defence bonus over 200 will do; if you get hit too often you should be using a protection prayer). Dagganoth, black demon, black dragon, lesser demon, hellhound, bloodveld and spectre tasks should be cannoned, as it dramatically increases xp rates (although it costs a bit). Some notes on gear: You'll want a fury and a berserker ring before you get bandos plate, and get that before tassets. You'll want accuracy bonus on higher-levelled dragons; if using stab attacks (which you should) you can use the Ardougne cloak 3 which provides you with +6 stab and +6 prayer bonus. Torso + sw cape and fire cape + proselyte are common cheap top/cape combinations; the former is better. Some levels to get for slayer (in approximate order but I'm not sure on the summoning): 70 prayer and King's Ransom - piety 68 summoning - bunyip 81 dungeoneering (you need 2 million xp, which takes you to level 80, but allowing some tokens for the scroll of life) - rapier 89 herblore (85 with a +4 stew boost) - extreme potions, superantifires 95 prayer - turmoil and soul split 88 summoning - unicorn 96 herblore (91 with a +5 stew boost) - overload 99 summoning - steel titan I'm sure I missed something but this is most of it. [/hide] If you want to train magic but not through skilling, barrage rock lobsters or mage slay. Ranged xp will be gained through cannoning. Basic rule of cannoning is: cannon > familiar (iron/steel titan) > ferocious ring as max killrate goes (so for example, taverly black demons > ct black demons, temple dark beasts > Kuradal dark beasts). Exceptions are blue, iron and steel dragons because they spawn much much closer together in Kuradal's dungeon.

Steel titan, cannon, turmoil, rapier and extremes is most of it, overload optional. Without rapier you will lose quite a bit of melee dps, and without steel you'll lose a lot of kills, so either of those gone missing would make it virtually impossible to get 1 per hour. @ killerjack: Around 44% of the trips should end in no effigies by xpx' math. Generally, something's not nerfed until it's confirmed by a lot of people. And by a lot, I mean 80% or more.

Wait... what?

To my knowledge it is not nerfed.

Hide tags make for much easier reading. Another thing you might want to try is bold and italics. Different spacing might help too. Ex: [hide=Your formatting] Equipment: Weapon: Cls>Rapier IF you do not have max or completionist cape and you are picking up greens/crims and blue charms as well as snap/torstol herbs and seeds as this requires a certain amount of running around and less time attacking the boost from the Cls helps more.(Mind you still Cls is barely beating rapier by like 2k xp/h) If not picking up those drops and constantly using rapier besides the running around to get to another Sprectre its about even with the Cls. As well as if you have comp/max cape its about even. Really the difference isn't big enough to where most people would even care to change gear. If you dont have Cls or Rapier then Chaotic Maul or Abyssal Whip works. Shield: Dragon Defender>Rune Defender Special Weapon in inventory: Dragon Claws>Dds> Helm: Slayer Helm(charged with best combat familiars attack scrolls) Amulet: Fury>Glory(Salve Amulet boost does not stack with slayer helm) Chest: Bandos Chestplate>Proselyte Hauberk Legs: Bandos Tassets>Proselyte Cuisse/Tassets Cape: Completionist Cape>Max Cape>Fire Cape> Soul Wars Cape Gloves: Barrows>..etc wear the best you can. Boots: Dragon Ring: Berserker/Warrior Familiar: Best combat familiar summoned. Steel titan>Iron Titan>Wolpertinger>Geyser Titan..etc [/hide] [hide=My formatting] *Equipment: Weapon: Chaotic rapier > CLS | rapier will kill them fastest, unless you miss many attack turns due to picking up many drops Shield: Dragon Defender > Rune Defender | Special Weapon: Dragon Claws > Dds | may not be worth the clicking Helmet: Full Slayer Helm | charged with the scrolls for your familiar if using iron/steel titan Amulet: Fury > Glory | Salve amulet boost does not stack with slayer helm Chest: Bandos Chestplate > Fighter Torso > Proselyte Hauberk | Legs: Bandos Tassets > Proselyte Cuisse/Tassets | Cape: Completionist Cape > Max Cape > Fire Cape > Soul Wars Cape | Gloves: RFD gloves > Bracelet of Regeneration | barrows, dragon and rune RFD gloves are superior to the bracelet Boots: Dragon | Ring: Berserker > Warrior | Familiar: Steel titan > Iron Titan > Wolpertinger > Geyser Titan | [/hide] Guides aren't only to gather information, but also to make it accessable ;).

You're not supposed to put weight on your fingers, use your legs!

CLS is more efficient. You can bank over 1m/hr from the bones and cm will be only a few percent faster.

Your drain rate is multiplied by 30 / (prayer bonus + 30). So if you have 0 prayer bonus you need another 30 to halve your drain rate. If you want to halve it again you need another 60. So 60 bonus is, when you have 30, worth about half as much as what you already have.

I prefer Korasi's sword. I think it deals slightly more damage per spec as well, but at 99 attack w/ completionist cape (lol) claws might well be better.

You badly need better formatting. Also you only need 1 overload for abberant spectres. Wolpertinger > geyser titan as combat familars go. I'm also pretty sure you don't need a pickaxe for bloodvelds. Also I doubt ags is worth using, as it hits perhaps 900 at a rapier max of over 600. Which means the rapier, with its 50% more attacks, will have higher raw dps. I don't think the small accuracy boost from a godsword is even worth using.

That's really nice!

I just do an hour at teaks and always get my rocks. Both ivy and all trees (I think) give rocks and I very much doubt the rate has been changed.

Katana = iron 2h. Best? No. The topaz machete is better.

Yay, 88 smithing and 83 fishing today. Quite close to 95 magic as well from all the superheating/alching I've done. I got about 900 plates worth of adamant bars banked too, should be 89/90 smith in the next week.

Since you are 99 magic, I'd say no it isn't. It is however worth doing Bork and triple charms to get your summoning ahead.

So am I, it's really slow xp :wall:.

Low-loss/lossless mining isn't very difficult and considering it's like 500k gained in at most 5 mins lost per hour (from missing attacks) it's quite worth it.

He did say illusion... it's one way to motivate yourself to train herblore, for example. For myself I notice that I'm more inclined to fish if I don't use a familiar. It's not efficient. But when it comes to getting fishing levels, it's better for me, and possibly for other people. In the same way, using MTK herbs over other herbs may stimulate people to use extreme potions because they feel 'free'.

Tormented demons need turmoil least of all bosses, they are also good charms and effigies which is what you can use to get higher levels in stats besides prayer.

If you can, get the rapier after Cabin Fever. It's a stabbing rune scimitar, nice if you get a dragon task before 60 attack :P. It's also way more fun that a rune scimitar. The brine sabre is better however, and it doesn't require a quest. It should be your primary weapon on non-dragons.

@ Low alchemy teaks: you can use high alch 90% of the time if you have an adze. With juju potions you can use hi-alch that much more comfortable.

Demonic thrones actually, not worth it all the same but very fast xp. Cheaper than steel dragons too I think.

Very nice, congratulations :).

1) Do the quests "Throne of Miscellania" and "Royal Trouble". 2) Talk to any of the people on the island you see gathering resources. Ask them how popular you are. 3) Gather resources until your approval rating is 100%. You will get a message. Fremminik Sea Boots 2 and up will speed this up. 4) Go up to the second floor of the Miscellania castle and talk to advisor Ghrim. An interface will show up (after some chat) which shows several resources, your total deposited cash and a stack of workers (represented by white bars). 5) Deposit 1.5m gp in the coffers. 6) Set 9 workers to gather maple logs by adjusting the bar next to the icon for maple logs. Set 6 workers to gather flax or coal. You can change these settings later, so don't worry too much about them. 7) Get your approval up every day or two after all this. Collect every week. Keep the total cash over 750k and approval as high as you care to.
