Well Varrock's isn't too bad if you're a big quester, since ratcatchers will be out of the way, you'll be able to get fast kudos from talking about your quests, and don't forget Evil Dave's basement filled with all those hell-rats.

Coincidental, it has no effect on rune limbs or addy bars.

Cost saving and if you prefer doing BA to firemaking then it might be worth the trouble.

That would also hold true for dds and d claw specs as well then, I've always been curious as to whether it's useful to change att styles while specing.

Depends on how many times it gets sick and misses a growth cycle, I assume you are paying the servant to watch over it?

I'd get 10mil more to leave3 over for basic supplies and MTK, but if that's one of your goals then go for it!

If you go to aviansies for money, and then spend the money on chinning it will all balance out to around 100k exp/hr, which is a reasonable rate for any cb skill and should fit in your time-frame. That's not to mention the change of scenery will keep you from going insane, unlike grinding out levels at yaks or caged ogres.

Good plan :thumbup: .

A DFS is a completely superfluous piece of equipment that you will never need to reach efficient speeds. Melee barrows armour and karils instead of rune and blk d'hide respectively, a ZS instead of an LBS, a fury instead of a glory, things like that that are fairly cheap (Except for perhaps the fury, still worth it though) can really boost your exp per hour; really the only thing that's really expensive that would be worth investing in for slayer would be D Claws. And no matter what you spend your extra money on, be it skills like pray or herb, higher level equipment, a large stockpile of common supplies like p pots, or investing, it's better spent than sitting in a pile in your bank gathering dust (Unless you predict massive, and I mean MASSIVE deflation soon).

1/80/5 don't fight 80/80/80 accounts though, they fight 60/60/60 or 50/50/50 accounts.

It's kindof stupid to wait to buy high level gear all at once, when you can get it piece by piece and enjoy the benefits longer than you would if you got them all at once, plus you'll get used to the slightly different usages faster than a huge transition down the line. Lastly, if you REALLY cba to get anything better at least put the cash to work by merching, investing, flipping, etc.

Depends on how you plan on training, but since I see you're going for barrows armor I'm assuming that you're not going to powertrain with piety, so I'd say go for it because you won't be using that cash for much else training wise and 8mil should be enough to at least start small scale investing if that's what you want to keep the money for.

Pretty sure you can just tank the damage and just wait for the boss to change colors, but I've never tried that method. Anyways if you really want an effective pure Turmoil pures (Using curses which require the quest Temple at Senntisten) are pretty much your best option although they require very high income.

Or if you don't have 95 prayer you can wear prossy top + verac's skirt and piety, spend extra money on prayer pots and d claws as a spec weapon.

Good to know :blink: , but yes the accuracy difference at such high numbers seems insignificant compared to the str bonus. Maybe I should give my dragon slayer gloves a run sometime.

There haven't been any official front page announcements, but there might be something on the forums that said so; since they're replicas they shouldn't interfere with the original though.

You'll lose out on a tiny bit of str/attack bonus, but you will be getting a big +10% attack bonus. Call me crazy, but on high defense monsters like metal dragons more attacks outweigh +12 str. Defense bonus is meaningless because of prayer. I'm sorry, yes, Ferocious ring is what you should be using, I'm really stuck in the past. :P And 15% exp is still 15% exp. Since you are considering these, you presumably are not going for hardcore exp, so 15% is a nice boost eventhough you still will be getting less XP/Hr than on some easier tasks. Switch the fury with glory and fire cape with Soul Wars / Ardougne cape! Alright, didn't want to do this, but let's compare stats, I'll be using my setup of prossy top and bottom, FSH, Fury, SW Cape, Whip, DFS, D Boots, F Ring, and then switching out the barrows gloves for D Slaying ones. With Barrows gloves: Slash att +104 With D Slayer gloves: Slash att +92 92*1.1=101.2 slash att bonus, not even considering the str boost barrows gloves are better. But let's consider the LBS instead of the Whip With Barrows gloves: Stab att +89 With D Slayer gloves: Stab att +77 77*1.1=84.7 stab att bonus, once again barrows gloves outshine the d slayer gloves without even taking into account str. And the exp gains are minimal at best since the exp for iron dragons is low to begin with, you should be concerned with killing as fast as possible to get a new task rather than slowing yourself down for exp that you could have gained faster somewhere else.

Food and an emergency tele would be ok for this first task, but you really shouldn't need them later on at all; also bring a spec weapon like a dds instead of the EE since you shouldn't need food at all and it's pretty easy to tell when you need to pray, it really helps speed things up a bit. I doubt you will need that many super sets or anti fires. If you bank the bones with a BoB like you should then you can restock those. The only set up change for meele prayer would be maybe a stole if you have one. Bring a holy wrench if you have one too, it is worth getting as it will save you a lot over time. I usually use around 3-4 antis for a task of 70-85 so 5 would be a good, safe number; and 2 super sets would allow him to be potted ~7 levels above normal for pretty much the entire task which really helps the speed; I do recommend the holy wrench too though, it's really useful.

He's in Kuradal's dungeon so he should ALWAYS be using a Ferocious ring (Also, ring of wealths do not affect unique drops like d legs, only things like half keys and d meds that are in most monster's drop tables). Also, checking the bonuses, the dragon slayer gloves give worse stats overall than barrows gloves so they aren't worth using, especially since the exp difference won't be huge or make the tasks worthwhile for exp.

I'd recommend a variety of seeds:the highest seed you have access to in Fally if you have the achievement shield for extra exp (If the money isn't too bad), less costly seeds like avantoe or toadflax in Port Phasmys, Ardy, and Catherby, and then a high value seed like ranarr or snapdragon in the my arm patch for guaranteed high profits.

Food and an emergency tele would be ok for this first task, but you really shouldn't need them later on at all; also bring a spec weapon like a dds instead of the EE since you shouldn't need food at all and it's pretty easy to tell when you need to pray, it really helps speed things up a bit.

It has the advantage in speed, and the faster hits are more important than the minuscule bonus difference.

Indeed that was me, and with a uni, 2 monks and one super set dose I got a full invy of bones. Just if you want to know, I used the ardy monastery teleport to recharge prayer (I pietied whenever I was getting hit too much to keep up with) and then ran to the fairy ring to bank and go to my next trip; it worked fairly well and netted me >300k in bones.

So this is my first wyverns task with a uni (I melee them btw), and I was just wondering if the invy is any different than with a yip. I used to have a whole invy for food and I rarely had to eat prematurely to get drops, but with a uni I don't know how much food I'll need; and I assume 1 super set will keep me covered, but will my trips be extended enough that I'll want 2 sets? So, any tips?

You can also slayer ring or house tele to Polli and then walk/carpet around from there.
