Slayer Sucks

I think hellhounds should be taken off, they usually do give a profit from the clues they drop. Just my opinion. :)

Woah, woah, woah. Since when did herb runs have anything to do with slayer? EVERY task you cannon + piety WILL lose money - when your cannoning almost all of your tasks, your taking a significant loss.

So we completely ignore relevant money making methods that most decent players use, which requires almost zero time for large profit?

 

 

 

Am I allowed to ignore other important aspects of gameplay to be right? I guarantee you that 9/10 high level slayers farm herbs for extra profit. It's foolish to ignore that.

 

 

 

Also, I must be epic h@x1ng cause I have yet to lose money cannoning. I can't possibly imagine what you're doing wrong, but you have described yourself as slaying casually. That's probably it.

You can't include it in the profits of slayer because it is unrelated to slayer. I'd think that would be obvious.

 

 

 

I mean, when I started playing, I had 25 gp in my bank. Now I have tens of millions and level 69 in construction. So I made lots of money from construction?

Morning if you can do herb runs with your slayer we (mostly compfreak) can also add herb runs to our (his) armoured zombie profits.

Really? How'd you do that? Because, you know, having money and a high construction level MUST mean that you made money from construction! Yeah! =D>

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

Would you seriously train slayer at max efficiency without dedicating fifteen minutes of your day to drastically curving the cost? No, you wouldn't. Not unless you happen to have stockpiled a few party hat sets and you have more money than you'll ever need, or you're getting VERY lucky at GWD.

 

 

 

So how did you make that money for your construction level? Do we disregard that and say that it took you a few hours to get to 69 construction? No, we don't. You spent time away from your oak larder to get that money, so you count that towards your time training construction.

 

 

 

EDIT: To the above post, he can absolutely add that. We're not discussing Slayer being better, we're discussing the fact that you're NOT losing millions and millions training Slayer at full efficiency. Comp is absolutely right in his assessment that zombies are better money and combat experience than Slayer, but we're not discussing that.

What if I tell you I got that money by planting herbs, buying battlestaves, and managing Miscellania every day? Then am I training construction without losing money?

 

 

 

The point, which you've missed, is that net gain is irrelevant. Everything is a net gain, because you start with nothing. The only money that matters is what you get from the activity you're comparing. You can't just go and say, "I can train construction without losing money," and when you're asked to prove it, say that all you need to do is kill aviansies in between construction runs.

If I were killing avianses between tasks, I would then be killing avianses and using the money to slay. You can do a herb run in such a small amount of time to be practically nonexistent. It's free money, basically.

 

 

 

If you're able to fund construction with such a small amount of work, exactly like the methods you described, then you are practically training it for free. You've done little to no work yet you've accumulated a healthy amount of cash.

 

 

 

The same concept applies to Slayer. I'm funding my cannon and piety use through methods that subtract very little time from my slaying.

They subtract no additional time if you use them to fund anything else. You're still losing the same amount of money as if you hadn't been farming, because you could just as easily have kept the cash from selling the herbs and not spent it on slayer.

 

 

 

Look, why don't you just try your calculations or whatever again without factoring in the herbs? #-o

 

 

 

If you're really making profit off of slayer, then it won't matter if you take them out. If taking away the herbs leaves you with a loss, then the slayer training is indeed causing you to lose potential profit, which, thanks to the GE, is functionally identical to cash anyway.

 

 

 

And anyway, why were you trying to show that slayer makes a profit? Would it be making more profit than armoured zombies? Even if you are making money, slayer is still slower cash and slower xp.

If you want to slay with maximum efficiency, you have to direct your cash flow towards it. We're not talking about casual Slayer here. If your cash flow includes sentient sources such as farming, MTK, and battlestaffs, then you include it in the calculations. Without farming, you'll probably cut it VERY close, but we're not here to discuss "what ifs."

 

 

 

This debate has absolutely NOTHING to do with Armored Zombies. Compfreak stated that Slaying at maximum efficiency will result in a loss. I am stating that he is wrong. I have never once contended the fact that Armored Zombies are better combat experience and money. That's the second time I've had to say that I am not arguing about zombies. Please read my posts.

I been reading for a while now, and i'm still lost...WTF is this with the frikkin armoured zombies ffs?? This is about slayer...get off zombies.

 

Now, i do see your point about not adding the herb runs being irrelevant, which they are, since(again) this is about slayer, and only slayer. And tbh, slayer isn't the best way to make money, but then again thats when your a really low level ffs. And isnt that a good reason for training it? to get higher and finally start making the money. Because i promise you if you camp at abby dems for a few days(if you can), the time and effort it took to get 85 slayer will seem completely worth it. Whether you pray, or use a cannon or whatever.

 

 

 

I personally rarely use my beloved cannon for slayer. I just don't like to. The last time i used it was not for slayer, to kill cave horrors to get my goal of 5 masks. It was VERY useful then, and the money i spent on the 2k cannonballs what nothing compared to even the first mask, i got 3 after about 1.3k balls. But had i not trained slayer and had the slayer level to kill these, i wouldnt have had the profit or exp i got.

 

 

 

Eventually, slayer will be an awesome way of money, especially with the rewards system now, eliminating lame tasks and canceling less lame but still lame tasks. Generally, after 85 slayer, it is a great way of making money. thats why people strain to get 85. But honestly, even before 85, major money can be made through slayer, especially if u just kill stuff by yourself(me). Though its just a little slower (because i've found that the cannon is only so helpful in non multi areas) the option of losing money is gone. phew that was a lot to type. I'm done now, thats all i have to say.

 

 

 

Summary: This thread is about slayer, nothing else, please lets keep it that way.

 

Herb runs DO NOT count as slayer profit...period. They are just another way to make money, like anything else.

 

And normally, slayer can be, and usually is a HUGE profit. If it is not for you, try a different method of slaying. Plain and simple.

Lol at the guys not posting 287. XD

 

 

 

When I saw your title I thought I'd see a "omfg i died doing mith drasgs wich i wuldnt hve gotten if i didnt have a slayer task of mith dr4gs! so i tink slayer shuld be taking out and instead put in da toilet skill, lol" (The incorrect grammar posters always throw in at least one comma, for good measure. :D )

 

 

 

 

 

I agree with you on, well everything. And I LOVE the fact that you agree different people find different things being fun, haha. However, I still love Slayer, my reason is that you can train two skills at once. (Or three including HP) and, I can't stand camping, it's boring. So the variety is also nice, however; my biggest adoration of Slayer comes from the Slayer Helmet. I simply love hitting high, and even though it doesn't add much, it looks cool. :XD:

That depends, are you dedicating all of your time to selling popcorn, doing it as quickly and as efficiently as possible, with the stock market income being a sentient moneymaker? If so, then you're making money while training your popcorn selling skill.

 

 

 

WE ARE NOT TALKING CASUAL SLAYER. If you have never slayed at maximum speed, you can't possibly add to this discussion. Unfortunately, that could mean that I'm talking to myself.

Popcorn = -$200

 

 

 

Stock market = +$300

 

 

 

Total = +$100

 

 

 

My profit is from the stock market.

 

 

 

Oh, well that's great! I'm glad that you made a profit on the stock market whilst casually selling popcorn to your neighbors. :)

If you're really making profit off of slayer, then it won't matter if you take them out. If taking away the herbs leaves you with a loss, then the slayer training is indeed causing you to lose potential profit, which, thanks to the GE, is functionally identical to cash anyway.

 

 

 

And anyway, why were you trying to show that slayer makes a profit? Would it be making more profit than armoured zombies? Even if you are making money, slayer is still slower cash and slower xp.

 

 

 

If you want to slay with maximum efficiency, you have to direct your cash flow towards it. We're not talking about casual Slayer here. If your cash flow includes sentient sources such as farming, MTK, and battlestaffs, then you include it in the calculations. Without farming, you'll probably cut it VERY close, but we're not here to discuss "what ifs."

 

 

 

This debate has absolutely NOTHING to do with Armored Zombies. Compfreak stated that Slaying at maximum efficiency will result in a loss. I am stating that he is wrong. I have never once contended the fact that Armored Zombies are better combat experience and money. That's the second time I've had to say that I am not arguing about zombies. Please read my posts.

 

Morning if you can do herb runs with your slayer we (mostly compfreak) can also add herb runs to our (his) armoured zombie profits.

 

 

 

Read my posts.

 

Slaying isnt making you any money it is losing you money but you get money from other resources to get you a net gain.

 

 

 

You get money from herbs end of discussion.

 

 

 

[hide=]If my job is selling popcorn and i lose $200 a day but in the stock market i made $300 did I make $100 selling popcorn?

 

 

 

That depends, are you dedicating all of your time to selling popcorn, doing it as quickly and as efficiently as possible, with the stock market income being a sentient moneymaker? If so, then you're making money while training your popcorn selling skill.

 

 

 

WE ARE NOT TALKING CASUAL SLAYER. If you have never slayed at maximum speed, you can't possibly add to this discussion. Unfortunately, that could mean that I'm talking to myself.

OH i have, which is why i'm saying that it doesn't give you much money at all, unless you get a unnormal lucky drop. So if you want the money(me, i'm too poor imo to not want the money)

 

 

 

Now, you're correct, but you missed the words.

 

 

 

Yes, you're making money WHILE you're training that skill, but that money does not count as money you are making FROM that skill. See what i'm getting at here? they make money offa herb runs while training slayer, but not from training slayer.

Popcorn = -$200

 

 

 

Stock market = +$300

 

 

 

Total = +$100

 

 

 

My profit is from the stock market.

 

 

 

Oh, well that's great! I'm glad that you made a profit on the stock market whilst casually selling popcorn to your neighbors. :)

 

It's also nice that you can make a profit on farming while spending some money to train slayer as well. But you're still not profiting off the slayer any more than you're profiting off the popcorn. :shame:

My argument is that it is easy to fund training slayer at maximum efficiency while making a profit. I have explained this countless times now.

Yes, correct, our arguement is that those funds and even those profits, do not originate(actually come from) slaying. PERIOD. you can't argue with that cuz its plain logical fact.

When did I argue that all of the profits come from Slayer? Please find my post. I said, yet again, that it is easy to fund slayer and make a profit while doing a few minutes of nonslayer related work everyday.

 

 

 

EDIT: Alright. Clearly none of you are reading my posts.
