This lvl78 creature will make it the 5th best special slayer creature available, and one that is 'likely' to have better drops than wyverns, gargs, and dusties based on levels. 5th best out of 38 puts it into the 85th percentile, which is not a bad update to all slayers out there. Perhaps this cavern is the 1st step in more cavern to come with higher slayer creatures in the pipeline...

Mage wins in F2P up to level 38ish. You ought to train your mage to 59 asap and pk with it til your poor Then train your range to 70, and strength to 70 and pk using range/R2H oh wait you cant train that high oh well just do mage then.

At 40 attack, 93 strength, 84 range, 1 def, 1 pray I was having a ball in BH worlds. I got 31 prayer and instantly regretted it. The number of full rune safers are not really recognisable until you are in the 68+ combat range. Stay 1 def, 1 pray for as long as possible. If you cannot afford to lose a R2H each time you fight dont pk.

soul wars is cheap (free) get more range though. You need 70+ before you go pking with that build, and preferably 70 strength too. stay 1 pray, and 1 def for the next 3 months k.

I'd get 31 prayer, but you can get 43 if you want. In f2p people can't ko you as easily as in members. If you are getting members, get 43 prayer. Only get prayer after 90+ range or strength. Before that is a waste.

I think it adds a new dimension to your pure. I have a low summon level, but enough for it to add a +5 (or so) to my 'look'. To me it makes my opponant think - 'OMFGORZ - noob summoner - easy prey for me' I like it when people moan about my summoning level, they ask 'why, oh why' etc, while I smack 29's on em with me R2H, then I say 'Thats why fool' Get high summoning - it helps you train, and does not hinder your pking ability at all. Like another poster stated though, be very aware of what critters attack styles are. You dont want a couple of accidental def levels now do you...

This is not the reason why. I don't even play RS anymore and I don't have high slayer, so the drop is irrelevant to me but yet I'm arguing that slayer needs higher leveled requirements. What I'm arguing for comes out of rationality and fairness, not greed. If a 95+ slayer monster was introduced, where is the rationality behind that? An update that only 7000 players can take part in does not make good sense. If however an update was for a whole new set of caves ranging from level 1-99 slayer creatures, then that would be awesome, rational and fair. Btw 86 slayer is somewhat enormous in the whole context of slaying. As a level 80 slayer, I still dream of the day I get an abby task. Some may say But 95+ slayer took a long time and effort to get it, so ought to be rewarded, and again I say Yes indeed, but do not forget all those below you who also would like some new meat to chew on

Dont get mage until you are into the 60's combat range. Even then you only need 65ish. It is only to use if you get a full rune/addy target, and you can often KO these guys with mage and R2H/scimmy. Get your range levels in the 7's, i.e get 63, then 70, then 77, 84, 91. At these levels your max range hit also increases by +1. Stay 1 def, and 1 pray as long as you possibly can, esp when you are a range/R2H hybrid. Once you are around 64 combat with 93 strength, and 84 range you might want to consider 31 prayer to start hitting 29's with a R2H - its quite sweet! Just keep your strength and range maxed at all times. Best of luck pking!

More PvP worlds would be great for clans. All clans are hoping that this occurs. I am not against clans at all, I am against the fact that I get penalised for getting a target who is in a large group camping at gdz/FoG.

78 is high? We've already had Dark Beasts, Abyssal Demons, and Spirituals. They are all higher than 78 but they stop at 90. There are still 9 whole levels, the levels that require the largest amount of effort. 78 slayer is high when you compare the number of players with 78 slayer against other 78's. Those who already have 78 ought to celebrate the upcoming release, rather than bemoan the fact that its not a lvl 91+ beasty. Hell, if they released a level 97 beast, imagine the complaints then! Just because they do not bow down and reward a 99 slayer with a new slayer beasty does not diminish the 99 slayer in the slightest. A 90+ herb/potion, tree to cut, ore to mine, animal to hunt etc would also be nice?

At least they stopped the teletubbies. I agree about others need to be locked out of combat for a certain period of time. Tag teams are rampant when you get a target, and if timed right, double hits are very easy. Don't get me wrong, I am not against teams/clans - just that if you are pling in a clan, you should be penalised if you do not go after your target. I.e., "You have been been hiding in muliti for too long, your target has been reset". If they made that change, I would be a lot happier. At least then I could carry on happily pking with the knowledge that I do not get penalised for pking 1v1.

My beef is this: When I get a target, often they are hiding out near FoG with a few/hoard of mates. This limits my options severely when it comes to collecting on the vast amounts of drop potential I have gained. My only options are: I go see him, and lose all my gear, and my chance of collecting on my dp. I ignore this target, and carry on fighting 1v1 in edge. If I stay aorund edge, I can fight, and kill many people but after about 30 minutes, my time is up in a safe spot, and I lose my target :( I can not gather up enough people's to go and meet his bunch - I have not many people in the friends list around my cb level. I can go wait in a 1v1 hotspot, and hope they come to me - but that is a waste of time, and inevitably a 1 itemer comes along and hits me, I use some food and I'm not in the best shape to take on my target 1v1 without restocking. If I restock, I lose target! Surely it should be the guy hugging his mates in multi should be penalised, not me? [/end rant]

Define junk please - if it is too slow at minataurs, then tough luck coz they will be your best bet for a while. I trained there til 65 on the level 23 ones. You have some def, so try out the fleshies. They may provide to be a bit better in the long run if you can semi-afk them, i.e. get them to auto attack you and just take the hits. You should not go to lessers until 75+ range - even then its very slow compared to the likes of fleshies.

Good luck with that build - you will not be getting many kills in BH for a long time, as people will refuse to fight you. Once you do have your 90+str, pk in robes with scim n R2H - at least then you might get some good fights to the death.

I know what your method is.... but you still can't sit around. You need to get killed to restock the bar? Well, you still need to get out of the graveyard. nub :shame: Wrong - there is a bug where you can stay in the graveyard for the entire game as a ghosty, and not be required to take any further part in the game yet still gain 3 zeal.

Ahh, OK - glad I sold them then :)

Yea, but don't you only cut like 12 per gem? According to my calc's that would make dstones worth 18k more now (12*1.5k). Instead they have risin by 30k

Definitions are required here: 1) F2P, or P2P? 2) Will you be solo pking, or with a team? 3) Do you want to win fights, or just not die to pures? 4) Are you into long boring fights with most pures running from you, or would you prefer a fight where both fighters hit huge numbers, redbarring each other and having people around 'wowing' at your awesomeness? Define those few things and the masses will have a better chance at giving you answers to suit your needs. F2P, solo, winning, 'wowing' = make a 1 def, 1 pray pure F2P, solo, not die, boring = make a range tank F2P, team, winning, boring = range tank F2P, team, winning, 'wowing' = make a 1 def pure.

I have just recently regained members, and went to sell a few things in my bank to raise more cash to feed my pkin fetish :oops: Anyhoo - went ot GE, grabbed out a heap of gems I had including about 20 dstone ones, and voila 70k each for uncut dstones! Now I am not complaining at all with the increased geepee's but they used to be 40k max, so what happened? Glories are still 40k, and dstone bolts/tips haven't gone up that much (have they?). Diamonds are also well up on previos costs - whats with the gem trade these days? Should I be gem hunting?

I have seen people exploiting a bug in SW whereby they get around the green bar thing. They seeem to stay a 'ghost' for the duration of the game in the graveyard box thing. Have sent a bug report to HQ.

A rare achievement indeed. Grats on being one of few with stats like this. Have fun while the 1 attack lasts! Whenever you go for attack, remember to stop at 40 and go F2P pk for a bit at 99 str, 60 hp you will amaze quite a few!

Not too sure, just after rubber chicken I think. Before the zombie head though. What does that make it? 2005ish?

Its a good update - no longer can you hop into the winning team, head on up to the graveyard and afk for another 19mins. It is very fast to get your bar from almost empty to full. Just start whacking on someone and voila, full. Stay still and it drains quickly to empty. 9/10

BH worlds are the same as old wildy, i.e. all the multi areas are still there for you to team up with your pals. Beware though, with only 2 BH worlds now, multi is riddled with clans comprising 30+ members per trip who will delight in seeing your 2 man team demolished in seconds.

Indeed, have fun hitting those 45's! Hope the hits come thick and fast, and pk's are endless for you. Well done.
