I personally would block Kalphites, because simply i detest the task, and crowds that cannon there as well. I also have blocked Hellhounds, again due to crowds and dogs in general irritate me. I would probably black Steels unless they add more steel dragons. I wont block Black Dragons because Baby black dragons are easy and fast there are a few more that i would block but i cannot remember what they are lol... stupid memory... i'll add more when i get them

I had to painfully burthorpe Kalphites immediately after obtaining my Slayer Helmet (which totally owns spectres btw), so i am working on my streak again. currently on Greaters and i think around 230 points on my name. Slayer ring is coming next but I have a suspicious feeling that I am gonna get kalphites as my task straight afterwards lol. My banlist will probably consist of Kalphites, Hellhounds, Suqahs and Steels (the last until they add in more steel spots)

the 10th task bonus is 5x the normal amount of points you'd get, 50th is 15x

Could you add me please val? Runescape name is chenw2 Cheers :D

The aim of this article is to show you my estimates that doing Duradel tasks exclusively is not the fastest way to obtain slayer points (for those who wants to ban tasks or obtain the Slayer Helmet the fastest). I will compare 2 methods, player A will be doing Mazchna tasks except for the bonus ones (every 10th), which he will do Duradel task. Player B will be doing Duradel tasks exclusively. Suppose that 3 Mazchna tasks take as long as 1 Duradel task (on average, my estimates show however, that it would be closer to approximately 4 Mazchna tasks to 1 Duradel task) in terms of time taken. My short hand for Mazchna tasks will be M and D for Duradel version. Player A does 50 tasks, 45 M and 5 D. This equals 20D ([45/3]+5). However, 20 is not a multiple of 50 (that is, there are different sets of 20 consecutive tasks we can take, depending on whether it contains the 50th task bonus or not), so we multiply the number of tasks A does by 5, so we can obtain a multiple of 50 for both players. Hence Player A does 250 tasks, 225 M and 25 D. Player B does 100 D tasks in the same amount of time. Lets see how many points A gets: 225*1+20*75+5*225 = 2850 (out of the 25 D tasks, 20 of them are 10th task bonuses, 5 of them are 50th task bonuses). B gets 15*90+8*75+2*225 = 2400 One can conclude that in the time that B gets 15 points per task, A on average gets 17.8 points, nearly 20% more than B. Thus it is significantly faster to obtain points by As method than by B. Note however that in this estimate I did not take into account of the drops either player gets and the respective experience gained. 10k Slayer Experience or runes? Ever since I saw the rewards, I have been wondering if the 10k Slayer experience is worth the points, or should I go for other rewards? I present you my estimates on the differences between 10k Slayer experience points or runes reward. We take from above, 100 consecutive tasks is worth 2400 points. 2400 points translates to 60k experience points, approximately 3 slayer assignment worth of experience (That is, every 100 consecutive you do, you save 3) Now, 2400 is a little more than 68 lots worth of Slayer Dart runes, so we take 68 lots. Each lot contains 1000 Mind runes and 250 death runes. 68 lots would yield 68k mind runes and 17,000 death runes. If one estimates minds to be 10gp each and death runes to be 300 each, 2400 slayer points translates to 5.78m in cash. So, it means that if you can reliably earn approximately 6m in the time that you can do 3 Duradel tasks, the Experience reward is better. Otherwise, Slayer dart runes is better for money. Also lastly, here comes my own slayer tips for those who are slaying for points: 1. Avoid burthorping. If you have a slayer task you don't like, just do it unless it is absolutely unbearable for you to do (like Kalphites for me). Usually Burthorping a task you do not like is not worth the extra time you have to spend to get the streak again. Doing a few tasks you don't like also might change your mind about the task (such as Warped Terrorbirds and Black demons for me). Whatever you do, do NOT burthorpe a bonus task, no matter how bad it can be. 2. If you DO burthorpe, unless you are also in need for experience points, don't go back to your slayer master immediately, do 4 Mazchna tasks first before going back to your slayer master. That way you can regain the streak faster and save you time overall. 3. Always have 100 points free before you buy any abilities to make items, just in case you get a bad task immediately after the purchase (I have had the honor of being assigned Kalphites in the task right AFTER I bought the helmet...). If you still want the ability ASAP, get your next task first BEFORE you buy the ability, so at least you can be sure your next task is. Happy Slayerising ~chenw

I have always wondered, Ca2, why do you suggest using Karil's body? I have found that his Firebreath attacks hits me as often while I am in Karils than I was in proselyte.

I have been TB'ed myself while i was Abyss RC'ing, and I am lv 117. Also seen a level 125 being entangled and she used teleport tab to tele out.

Good logic but not strictly true. Sara requires 70 agilty and Armadyl 70 range. Both not common 70's. Actually, Armadyl is high for multiple reasons. 1) People want that sword more than any other. 2) The boss needs very high range and defense to kill, most people with high range are pures and most people with high def aren't big rangers. From what I hear, Saradomin isn't as hard to kill and the only reason the price is high is because 70 agility is rare. Plus the sword is very in-demand. isn't AGS now useless because of no pking? it can still be used very much in dueling, but even then AGS is still not the best for this purpose. SGS is the best one simply because of its versatility (25% damage once in a while dont change much in xp / hour, but healing at least 20 hp while training can be very useful), and its performance is very comparable than that of the AGS in dueling. AGS's price comes solely from people's desire to hit high numbers, nothing more.

cosmics on GE dont sell for that much, 140 was the prices each, not worth it for either xp or money. Laws at the moment are good to do too, abyss laws are pretty safe now so you should be fine.

I purely see it as ways to get resources i need for cheaper than market price, If i can get anything back out of it, I am already getting more than what I bargained for, so I would not give a toss if the prices of the resources went to hell, if i can sell it, I am already getting more than i wanted in the first place. It hasnt stopped me from keeping cash in there. I really dont think doing next to no work apart from finishing a quest gives you continuous supply of money, otherwise it'll be too easy.

It is one of the most powerful bows for its speed, but it is in no way the most powerful. The Damage on the X-Bow rivals a crystal bow only if it drops below 2/10. Basically Karil's Crossbow are for quest haters, nothing more.

Also for the record, the Game bases the value of the items when they are HI-ALCHED (which is fixed) rather than store prices. The only reason why people associate one with the other is because Store prices were closely related to the High Alch value of the item, now because Store bases its price on the GE prices, this is no longer the case, but the items kept on death is still based on its High alch value. The more an item is sought after, the more expensive it is. Hence for good equipment, generally speaking it is the ones that you lose when you die that generates the demand, not the ones that you keep. Eventually the ones you lose will slowly be taken out of the game, leading to less of that item (take Guthan Spear for example), and hence increase in price, where as the other parts which you dont lose will decrease in price because it wont leave the game nearly as fast.

Get a few more 99's, possibly in Magic and thieving, preferrably in Herblore and Agility

But even if this is the case, I am not at ALL surprised that the Chinese have pulled off something like this. If they find a way to take advantage, they probably will do it. This is the state of the Chinese Society at the moment.

I have no idea, but I'm guessing the fungi from the golem and shadow of the storm. (In Uzer) True, the Dye is made in the same way as in this quest, however, you do NOT need to go into the desert for it.

Enchanted Sapphire bracelet, for the next 28 clays you mine, you will mine soft clay instead of normal clay.

Bones to peaches spell or tablet is excellent at the infernal mages

Rangers usually use fast hitting projectiles like knives/darts against monsters like rock crabs, demons or giants. I find that the max hit I'm hitting with rune arrows is the same as bone bolts from the xbow. Hence why i said you needed Mith/Addy arrows to balance out the xp over time (i took the speed of the weapon into account, i never left it out) I estimated that at my ranged level on yaks, i gain 36k xp an hour on bone bolts, and i get about 40k an hour with knives, But knives are more expensive, so the poorer players may opt for bone bolts instead.

But most of the things people train ranged on (like rock crabs etc) have a very low ranged def in the first place. You need mith/addy arrows to balance bone bolts for damage over time, which definitely makes msb less desirable.

did they update that? because Shantay didnt have them last week

Thats for a level 3 clue, and it WILL say on the clue to watch out for double agent. This emote clue is a double emote (2 emotes in 1), making it a level 2 clue so you dont need to watch out for it.

Here is what you should wear: Farseer helm Glory God cape Ahrim top Fire Staff Anti-fire shield ahrim bottom Barrow gloves (if you dont have it, Rune/addy is fine). Wizard boots (or mystic if you dont have one) Inventory: Runes for the spells Nature runes for alchs approximately 16 antifire potions (all 4 doses) an wc axe some money done. You do NOT need prayer potions if you are maging, because it is unlikely that you would be under any attack other than firebreaths, just KEEP your distance and you will not take damage.

Comparing the prices of Rune gloves and Dragon gloves, and comparing the stats of the 2, I would say no, dont bother. I dont think they go well if you wear rune unless you are wearing zamorak plate.

I dont think bow has ANYTHING to do with the damage, only the ammunition matters. Arrows determine the damage, while bows determine the accuracy, rate of fire and special attack In short (no pun intended), damage wise, Long = Short, Speedwise Short >> Long so short > than long for training.
