PuppyKing Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think its worth it after you block 4 tasks. ;) Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazel Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 so now comes up another question: first block nasty monsters or get mask first? :? Depends on if you really hate a task or not. Slayer mask is totally worth it, but it's useful to block the tasks you hate on the way there. SLAYERGEEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meili Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yeeees but I *like* the black mask lol. I guess the new slayer helmet is worth it if you have the points for it anyway. The Runescape Wilderness - Meili's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulthresher Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Of course it is worth it. In the long run, you will save so much time on dust devil tasks, you could have made money to pay for those runs 2 fold :roll: Ear muffs are only for banshees, so the mask is pointless. Salve amulet (e). Noseplug is only for spectres, so, yet again, the mask is pointless. Salve amulet (e). Spiny helm and black mask combo is awesome. Its really good if you use the slayer tower shortcuts so you don't have to bring a noseplug running past those nasty spectres! Plus, it looks cool and shows your ability as a slayer to work through tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blingkachi50 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'll admit the defence is great, but the ability to blacklist tasks is much more important that this mask. It looks good and has decent stats but it's not needed. I mean, the whole 5-in-1 thing will only come in handy for the rare Dust Devil task. Thats why i'm blacklisting my tasks before i even start on this mask. Have you actually slayed in the past week or so? I have done 73 Tasks in a Row at Duradel, and so far 10 of those have been Dust Devils. So yeah, I'd say it's worth it. I've been slaying since the quest came out, i havn't gotten one dust devil task yet. Maybe the rate has been increased but nevertheless, it's one task. You really don't even need the attack as they have really low def, so the strength is the only incentive. And the salve ammy (E) is still better at Aberrants. Lol...my god, you really don't know what you're talking about. If you ever killed dust devils you'd know that slash attacks (aka, the whip and godsword) aren't as good against them as stab, so their defense IS higher than other monsters. Before I was able to use the Helmet against them, I had to cannon to make tasks even sort of bearable at Dust Devils, because of all the 0s and low hits I dished out. Now, with the added att and str bonuses, I can happily whip away at them quickly. I guess it's your opinion, but a fool can tell the Slayer Helmet is the best possible reward from the point system. In my opinion, you're wasting your time if you spend your first 400 points on anything else. Lol...My god, you really don't know what you're talking about. Unless your attack level is 50, dust devil's defense is hardly a problem. Honestly I've seen you post 5 times in my entire time being part of tif, and every single one was an arrogant onslaught of [bleep]ing. Stop being an arrogant [wagon] =D> . OT: Answering the question of helmet or blocking tasks first. My vote is on the helmet. As many others have pointed out the defense and just flat out usefulness of the 15% attack and strength plus all the other special helmets needed for slayer is amazing.

Sumpta Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Anybody who is serious about slaying has to get the helmet. There's just no discussion possible... you'll get the points anyway, and it'd be stupid not to use them. And the point system is obviously aimed at the professional slayer. I'm loving the helmet and the new teleports. As for blocking first, or getting the points: I just went about it the practical way. When I got a task that I really detest and takes too long, I blocked it before getting the helmet. I figured that, in the end, I'd get to the mask quicker than when having to do a hated task over and over again. I've done 51 tasks now, got the helmet, the ring (loving it) and 2 tasks blocked.

I agree.. i just blocked a steel dragon task cause i just personally dislike.. I also plan on blocking warped terror birds and tortoises as i hear even people going for 99 slayer like to burthorp them The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!

wioneo Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If you're going to train slayer for an significant amount of time at all, 400 points shouldn't even matter. I've only gotten 2 levelups(1 full level) since the quest, and I have the helmet, 2 blacklisted tasks, and I've cancelled maybe a dozen or so, and I still have around 200 points to use as I please.

RyderJ Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It's the extra +30s in defense that matter to me. One of those with Barrows armor and a DFS and a Bunyip, and you can melee most tasks without other healing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If only the mask would have a build-in rock hammer,fungicide, chimes, .., then it would totally rock. Maybe make an upgrade for it (more pts)?

Dire_Wolf Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 do you think the new slayer mask is worth 400! points? since you can get alot of runes for 400 points or learn other things,and block. discuss here Was this nessecary to post? Of course it's worth it. 1: Earmuffs+Facemask+Black mask+ Spiny helm+ Nosepeg= Slayer Helmet. 5 items in 1.... 2: Saves you bank space 3: Gives you 15% STR and ATT at all tasks 4: Gives you 15% STR AND ATT at the smoke killing dungeon 5: Gives you acess to Smoke killing spectres, where they are not aggressive, and i think you can cannon them. Either way there is over 40 spectres, usual spot has 7-8 O.O. 6: It looks cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psvstef Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 this thread is old,i got my helm like 3 days after i opened it lol,and yes you can cannon the spectres in the cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyflipper0 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 For me, the Slayer Helmet, is definitely worth it. Basically, all I do on rs is slayin' and monster hunting. My plan is this: (doing all tasks @ Shilo) -Getting slay helmet (done) -Crafting ur own slay rings (170/300) And then I'm stuck! I'm not really in need to block tasks. I love all the dragon tasks and I haven't done the quest to get Scarabites or Terrorbirds assigned. Sweet huh xP. I'm just getting annoyed of all the dark beast tasks. Got a double dark beast task (181 + 184). Took me 5 hours with cannon. But its still a nice 80k Slay xp from only 2 tasks! But to answer your question: YES, the slayer helmet is absolutely worth it! And I guess I will use Sumona after I can craft my own slayer rings. It looks soooo fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
