How to best use slayer points?

[Lets_3ekout]

Just got 80 slay/slayer helmet, i'm not convinced it was the best choice but I haven't tried the new slayer dungeon either. What should I use my points on now? I dont have the patience for the smith level needed for making slayer rings (and even then I already have plenty of ways of teleporting around with 70 con + all quests finished). Neither do I want to fletch broad bolts, I have the money to buy them.

 

I was leaning towards slayer exp, but I don't know if the reward is decent (i'd like 83 slayer a lot atm ) but it looks like I could fund a lot of my summoning costs if i bought slayer dart casts and sold the deaths (I really hope the helmet is worth it because I could have made a free 770k or so from those points :lol: ).

 

This is all after banning all the tasks I hate of course. (Never again 6 gargoyle tasks in ~14 tasks =P~ )

 

 

 

Thanks :)

 

 

 

EDIT: If I'm not too late, I also was wondering what the slayer point boost at 50 kills was with duradel, is it more then the typical 75 at every 10 tasks?

[deathdrow]

dont use it on xp. its only 10k xp its a complete waste.

Really?

 

 

 

I was gonna use mine on exp.

Oh, sorta disapointing \= I guess my only other option is for cancelling tasks I dont have room to ban and buying/selling deaths.

Here is the order in which I used mine:

 

 

 

*Blocking 4 tasks

 

*Slayer Helm

 

*Rings

 

*Fletching Ability

 

 

 

And now I just use it to cancel tasks I don't feel like doing, as well as spending it on runes sometimes.

My main goal was the helm. After that the ring. You can use assistance to make them and the teles are handy (especially for Summona's dungeon).

 

 

 

Make sure you always leave 100 or 30 points free incase you get a bad task. I mucked up by getting the ring and only leaving 25 slayer points. Then I got Warped Terrorbirds. Lost my streak which sucked.

 

 

 

The arrows are hardly worth it but I would unlock the ability to make for possible future use.

 

 

 

The XP isn't worth it. Get the runes and sell for cash.

 

 

 

As for skipping tasks and such I find all tasks are bearable except WarpedTerrorbirds and Skelly Wyverns. The rest I can do without much of an issue. Sure sometimes I skip steel dragons for speed but if push comes to shove I can do them. I hear Dark Beasts are also a pain, but am not yet at 90 to find out for myself, may be worth the hassle for chance of Dark Bow (like Mithril Dragons and DFH)

[gremmy]

You really should cancel 4 tasks first now. I'd do that :)

 

 

 

EDIT: To above poster: Why cancel terrorbirds? It's great exp. There's a guide on here.

every time you post i see my quote pop up -.-

 

on topic: slayer dart runes are very good money and pay for things you use like super pots prayer pots etc.

 

slayer exp is lame :?

 

broad bolts are profitable flecting!!!!!!!!!!

 

and if you havent got a slave(e) i thin kyou can jsut teleport to tarns lair instantly without going through maze (woot tarn in 3 minutes!)

[blakdragon39]

I personally would use them for exp, and for skipping tasks later if I don't feel like doing them. I prefer exp over money usually though, so that's just me. If you want more exp? Use it on exp. If you want money, use it on Magic Darts.

Dark beasts can be boring and need to be prayed; but:

 

a) chance for d bow

 

B) decent other drops

 

c) highest % of blue charm-drops I know of

 

d) they're easy melee-xp and weak to slash (whip owns them)

 

 

 

 

 

On topic:

 

 

 

I currently just stock up points (got 4 tasks blocked and all the knowledge)

 

atm, I only use them to skip tasks

 

I plan on either using it for the last xp till 99, or else just spend it all in once on runes when I get 99.

10k xp is like nothing. You can get over 10k xp/hour with almost every task, more if it's an easy task. It's way harder to make 800k (or whatever the runes are worth) an hour.

[daisie777]

first get the essentials slayer helm and ring etc.

 

then use on cancelling temporarily or permanently

 

if u have spare points and you like your given task

 

the runes (worth 80k) are just an added bonus i find

 

and i agree with everyone on the "10k exp for 400 points is a joke" sub title aswell

 

when for that u could get around 950k of runes for that.

...you enchanted a slave? :lol:

Currently I just spend my points on undesirable tasks, or tasks I've gotten bored off and only sometimes do. Also it's 225 points for completing task 50 with duradel.

[wioneo]

The 10k xp is a waste of my time, so I use my ridiculous amount of points to cancel good tasks that I just don't feel like doing at the time. I actually cancelled away 360 points in once sitting after I got level 85 to try and force a demon task(I failed btw and you should not do this lol)...so if you want to be "efficient" spending them on runes would probably be your best bet, but if you just want to have fun and be able to slack off every now and then, just let them stack up.

Here's what to do after you have gotten your Slayer Helmet (which is worth it btw...tasks like Dust Devils, Aberrant Spectres, etc. become much easier):

 

1. Build up and keep around 200 points for cancelling/banning tasks

 

2. Slay like crazy and get more points

 

3. Buy Slayer Dart runes--35 points basically gets you 80k

 

4. Get to the 50th task and do one from Duradel

 

5. Get 225 points from that 50th task

 

6. Use those points to buy Slayer Dart Runes x6, then sell runes in GE for ~480k

 

7. Repeat over and over again until 99 Slayer

The rings are worth it, if only for the tele to Sumona. Also I wouldn't put it past Jagex to release a quest which requires fletching of broad arrows/bolts so I'm buying that in readiness

[Lets_3ekout]

OK thanks everyone, got my answer. I'll just sell deaths, I dont need teleports to Summona and can care less about the walk to the smoke dungeons. 81 slay, 50 tasks coming up soon so I cant wait to make back some of the cash I used on all those cannonballs 8-)

Lunar magic makes the rings worthless, and I'm sure more than half of us have that on while slaying.

 

 

 

If you do the math on this (and I did), when you compare 250 death and 1k mind for 35 pts to 10k slayer exp for 400 points...

 

 

 

The slayer exp costs you ~200 gold per point. That's significantly more than any other skill, and there are plenty of other ways to get bonus slayer exp (jade vine, for example.)

The ring isn't just useful for slayer. Desert tele is very useful.

[SirTommy2005]

Ring can be used to tele to barrows route.

[Parasiteking]

well.... the slayer helm was a good choice... but get another 600 points and learn how to make Slayer Rings and Broad Arrows and Bolts.... trust me, ive done it and it is very useful... then just use all the points you get after that for canceling and blacklisting tasks....

[Kazel]

 

and if you havent got a salve (e) i think you can just teleport to tarns lair instantly without going through maze (woot tarn in 3 minutes!)

 

 

 

I spent some points buying a Slayer Ring solely for that purpose ;)

 

 

 

Here's the order I'm gonna go in (while blocking tasks I hate along the way)

 

 

 

-Slayer Helm.

 

-Bolt-making ability (for future use).

 

-Ring-making ability (can you actually use req assistance on this? If not, forget this one).

 

-Runes for cash.

[Miner52289]

I posted earlier and this just kind of an update on my slaying. Currently on my 98th consecutive task and I'm gonna have exactly 1200 slayer points after my 100th task. I already have the Slayer Helmet and I've already spent some of the points on blacklisting, cancelling tasks. I'm not going to buy the two other 300 point abilities cuz using fairy rings, teleports, and other transportation methods ans saving my points is better than crafting slayer rings (which i'm still 7 levels short of) and with my stats (see sig) I just use melee. With my current armor set-up I'm hitting a max of 31 with a whip and honestly I don't think I could stand to range my slayer tasks, it takes too long and it is inefficient use of the slayer helmets +15% attack and strength bonuses.

 

 

 

So after I get my 1200 points, I'm going to click 30 times on the Slayer Dart runes and end up with 30k minds (worth 270k gp) and 7.5k deaths (2mil+) and still have enough points left over to blacklist/cancel some more tasks.
