Beautiful guide. Very well thought out and well written. The pictures and .gif's really get a picture in your mind of what your doing.

 

 

 

Add a bit more overall information and I'd say perfect.

[aglips]

I disagree with a lot of your points but I'll just focus on your comment about not needing full guthans and NOT even owning it EVER.

 

 

 

Prior to summoning, Guthans was a slayer's best friend and enabled a slayer to complete most tasks without the need of any food at all. I know I and all of my slayer friends depended on it alot.

I'm gonna use this guide when I get those task because this guide pwns. To the above poster, it was but because of bunyips, its kinda obslete.

Word of advice. Read the guide first before running your mouth. He said he NEVER owned a guthans set EVER. It's No. 6 in his guide.

[Inuashakent]

Yeah I'd put that quest in red writing as well, but I know everyone would flame because Waterfiends are so "great" because of the Crimsons. I personally can't stand them. :-#

 

waterfiends r junk i totaly agree on how bad they are there only good if u r a serious summoner.

 

 

 

???

 

 

 

Not only do they give one of the best rates of crimsons in the game, they give (Surprisingly) fast xp. They drops easily pays back for the pots and more, in fact I get over 300 crimsons a trip and use less than 6 prayer pots. Image how much water orbs, snape grass, seeweed, rune meds, mith arrows I get. I get a huge amount of profit from them, and again, the Crimsons are great. I would say they are the best task in the game, as maxing in slayer doesnt mean you get 99 summoning. Which would mean extra combat after you get 99 in the skill, which is pretty pointless, unless your trying to get 99 all combat stats without summoning... #-o

[cartiaga]

So I tried this guide out at Greaters (Had 168 Greaters or something). And it was awesome even have food left and no prayer used. :thumbsup:

Going to do the clue now :)

[mujammil]

This seems lik a amazing guide, to bad it doesn't let me see any pics after refreshing the page multiple of times =/

I disagree with most of the guide

 

 

 

-Obviously Waterfiends/Scabarites as I said before

 

-I don't see anything on the ring of slaying. Saves large amounts of times when going to Pollniveach spectres. No more fairy rings for slaying dungeon or walking from Canifis to tower. As a bonus it acts as your enchanted gem if you don't want to wear it.

 

-Ring of wealth doesn't affect rune items at all

 

-I think you should post a method for the tasks you don't like, for those who do like them. You don't have to be on task either, just go and experiment (or get pics from others for the ones you don't have access to). Don't hinder others because you don't like something.

 

-No information on high level familiars (unicorn, yak, etc), or efficient combat familiars

 

-There are two different kinds of black demons (small graphical difference), all the old ones are one category, and the ones in the chaos tunnels are another category. There is actually 1 new category demon in Tavelry Dungeon, which drops all the charms you will get from a task there. In chaos tunnels they are easy picking with a combat familiar and less crowded by rangers - I'm not sure why you didn't at least provide a picture of the demons there and say some basic stuff about it. Also, you should mention the fastest black dragon exp in Tavelry is ranging from a safespot while your cannon hits all of the demons like multicombat.

 

-Baby black dragons drop charms as well. Fairly even spread but lots of greens, few blues. They're no slower than your average melee task - not "ok," but just as good as the tasks you call "good." Green dragons are not a problem if you know where to stand. Try them. You can also use the +15% boost from slayer helmet to help you solo KBD.

 

-Skeletal wyverns have one of the highest percent crimson rates in the game. With a dfs you don't need to waste your shield slot. With the proper set up they are easy to kill, same speed as iron dragons. With piety they are a breeze, quick crimsons. With range they take no supplies.

 

-Goraks: suggested familiar unicorn stallion - secondary tortoise - last resort: bunyip. These hit hard but with 99 defence, a unicorn stallion and an sgs I am able to stay for a whole task without banking. If you do have to bank, just use the fairy ring and bank in Zanaris, for another inventory of food (I recommend monkfish). Pizzas will be bad because they're low healing/bite. These don't drop charms.

 

-Dagannoths: mention herb seeds, this is what makes you a little bit of profit back. Mention chaos tunnels because they're a decent place to do this task too. And why on earth would you bring a forge regent when you are cannoning? Also you'll want a ring, warrior at least, maybe a ring of slaying like I said above, saves an inventory space. ;)

 

-You might want to note tasks which are only assigned by Duradel, or only by Sumona (warped and spiritual creatures are split between the two, for example). EDIT: it seems I am the one confused, for on rereading I see you meant it to be a Duradel-only guide. In that case, you'll need to remove Infernal mages at least, plus maybe tortoises in the quests section.

 

-Spiritual mages: get a ring, also list method for doing the task on Saradomin mages. Do a full task without prayer, no 70 agility required - 2 spots in the main cavern where several mages are in combat. With 70 agility, 2 guaranteed spawns.

 

-Waterfiends: why does the name link to Suqahs? You might want to use protect from range when you don't have raw food drops available (when using a bunyip that is). Also, why give no weapon recommendation and show a picture of a d baxe? Do some research, and advice a zamorakian spear, saradomin sword, godsword (preferably sgs), or give alternatives such as flail.

 

-Mithril dragons? Why, why, why use protect from its weaker attack? Meleeing I can do a whole task on bunyip without wasting unicorn scrolls, using maybe 8 sharks. Venge was a nice idea but only if it's hitting high on you with melee. Also give a range technique, or at least link to a guide.

 

-Iron/Steel Dragons - may want to include visage information, map of which dragons spawn where, add a ring, also the method of switching to dragonslayer gloves on the last hit so you can use better gloves for most of the dragon (yes, barrow gloves are more effective than the attack boost of dragonslayer gloves). Also, may want to give information on where the dragonslayer gloves are found from, how much they cost, that they wear off after 1k dragons, etc.

 

-Nechryael: needs info on using chinchompas/multicombat ancients spells on them. Many slayers consider doing this as fundamental as cannoning dagannoths or kalphites.

 

 

 

I see you put a lot of effort into it, and it's a good start, but it's quite opinion based. It needs some work - - but has potential to be great guide. Though AMJ has already created the most epic possible guide (it IS updated on his forums for members).

[Triquos]

Best guide i've ever seen, I love the fact you have what charm they usually drop too \ very detailed.

is there anything you recommend about killing greater demons. I know theyre a great xp task but i just cant stand the dogs and i would rather not range them because that makes that task like 2-3 times as long. although i might just use your tip of not blocking them but just canceling them whenever i get them.

Well, if you're confined to the Brimhaven dungeon, just stay in the same area of 2-3 spawns (3 instances of 2-3 spawns that make good slayer spots) and after 15 minutes or around a dozen dogs they'll go unaggressive. Annoying, but the rest of the task is easy.

 

 

 

You could always try the wilderness in either the lava maze or the cage outside the KBD lair. Revenants are no threat with a ladder right there, just run into kbd lair (bring an antifire shield). Also there's a portal to the west of it.

 

 

 

I blocked them even though the dogs don't attack me because they're slow exp and far overcrowded, plus the charms aren't all they're cracked up to be (same as hellhounds). But I recommend lower levels block tasks with high defense first, and stick out the greater tasks.

^thx might just do that

great guide, i'll take it to consideration when training slayer =D

[Lep]

First off: Outside of the KBD Lair are Lesser Demons, not Greaters. :

 

 

 

Secondly: I'm unbanned! :o :shock: I don't know how many of you knew I was banned, but I had a permanent one. One day I attempted to log on only to see my account was disabled. In my inbox I had my first ever offence in 5 years, however, I had 5 offences all at once. They all fell under the "offensive language" rule and I was given no warning and no mute, I just recieved a permanent ban. However, a week later, Last Chance Appeal is now allowing me to play again! :ohnoes: All I can say is, I'm NEVER joining Blogworld Chat ever again. :wall: Now I can start finishing this guide!

 

 

 

I'm not very used to Runescape anymore lol. After the ban I went to the game I played before Runescape, Priston Tale. I was playing my level 77 Fighter and having a blast on him. I think now I'll be playing Priston Tale a lot again but still try to keep playing Runescape as well. ;)

True, I guess the only wilderness option is Lava Maze then.

 

 

 

They're in a similar cage with a ladder down but bring antipoison and antidragon shield.

[Vincent]

great. i'm glad you got your account back.

 

 

 

i've read somewhere on jagex's forums but cant find it, where they've said they are planning to introduce a system where old marks would gradually be removed as time went on; with good behaviour; so that's another possible thing that may happen.

 

 

 

good thing that got cleared up. you put too much effort into your character and you're too good a player to be banned for some nonsence. glad it worked out for you just hope you dont have any more problems like that again.

 

 

 

about greater demons: do the quest watchtower and you get access to blue dragons and greater demons in that dungeon. there is 1 that spawns to the north near the exit. melee that i guess. choose a populated world for fast spawn. south of yanille.

 

 

 

also: if you wanted another spot, have the crafting and fletch lvls you can take the things needed to craft/fletch and range greaters in the dungeon on entrana but you said you dont want to range... maybe you could mage the greaters, i use magic dart and it's pretty good for yanille caged greaters best thing about it is you just listen for dying sounds and can do other things while killing them like read forums etc.

[Lep]

Thanks Vincent. ;)

 

 

 

And you know what, I COMPLETELY forgot about that area. :o I havn't used it since I was in the levels 90s!

[Eric1770]

They are Pineapple Pizza, they heal 22 which is the same as a Manta Ray. Yes they do take long to make, but some unkown source seems to make them in masses and sell them in the GE. ;) The price has risen ever since I posted this thread, but they're still below Sharks. =P~

[Eric1770]

omg. i bet there are little gnomes in a sweatshop making them day and night. dont fund that sweatshop!

[warrior5024]

For pineapple pizzas, simply buy the normal pizza in warrior's guild, then slice up pineapples and put on top of 'em. Quick, easy, and alot of healing.
