jade_slayer6 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 So... I've been pondering long term goals. A respectable 99 like defence really stood out. If I were to get it by slayer about how long would it take to acheive this goal(which I will more than likely abandon)?

killerbeer0 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 A while... But why not get all stats 70+? You're close. OH S***! He/she/it is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinguimmaiden Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm going for 99 attack through slayer, and i can say that i get 60k/hr least in any task. But you can try armoured zombies too, they are 85-100k xp/hr :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior5024 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Might i suggest zombie monkeys? Relatively AFK with great exp rates. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexDT Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 At around your attack and strength levels, I get ~75k exp/hr at the Armoured Zombies. Now, that's with a Salve Amulet (e) (20% strength and attack) and Piety (23% strength and 20% attack) as opposed to 15% on slayer tasks (you say you're barely pushing 10m, so I'll assume you're not pietying your tasks. I will assume, however, that you're using pure sets). I'd probably put your exp/hr at about 50k per hour? 60k at most, if you get a lot of good tasks. So it'd take about 170-ish hours, I suppose. Oh, this is a little irrelevant, but I'd reccommend getting higher strength and attack before you go for 99 defence. Might as well get the higher exp rates, and defence isn't really that useful.

I don't piety but I do use super attack and super strength pots. Btw, defence is more useful than attack and strength imo. It allows longer boss hunting trips easier monster slaying etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to be efficient 100% of the time. I am still only 85 str and never felt better about it. With slayer it will take you months upon months(probably in the range of 3- 3 and a half).. with Armored Zombies it should take you 1 to 1 and a half months.. maybe 2 at the most. I am doing Armored Zombies right now instead of slayer.. I prefer the grinding. (Guide linked to the words armored zombies *hint*) Apparently, my signature was to big.

AlexDT Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ooh, I forgot to mention; I earned about 2m and got ~400 blue charms going from 90-99 defence at the zombies. It's not as much as you'd get training slayer, I'm sure, but it's still decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade_slayer6 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think I'll get 85 slayer first so I can get abbusal demons then finish off at zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 honestly, if you actually think you will fail, don't bother. make sure you know you can do and you know you want it before attempting a 99. well, thats my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister_moocky Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Why not train on controlled with whip? You'll be getting even 99s eventually, may as well do it effeciently. And if you insist on getting a 99 first, get 99 attack or strength. Defense capes are "rare" because only stupid people (other than pker tanks) get 99 defense first. It doesn't make you unique or respectable, it makes you look foolish. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make you unique or respectable, it makes you look foolish. As has been said previously in this thread, Defence does have its uses, namely boss hunting. Not to mention the ability to go for longer at many training spots. Also, good luck with 99 def, what i get normally on task ( i'm a bit weaker than you) is 45k/hr. So not too bad. What.

It doesn't make you unique or respectable, it makes you look foolish. I refuse to be called stupid simply because I occasionally base my decisions on aesthetics. Besides, your reasoning relies on the idea that I want to get maxed melee, which I don't. Defence has its uses outside of offensive combat.

Nhs_Xc Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How many hours do you play a week? I'm going for 99 defence now as well :D Slayer is probably not the fastest way to get it, but on the other hand it might keep training interesting (atleast not so boring).

Inuashakent Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 99 Defense is pretty useless unless you have the right stats... It's useless in Boss hunting if you can't dish out any damage, unless you want to be the tank... And you'll get ~40-50k xp an hour from Slaying.

cat666 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Defence is mostly pointless after 80-90. Mainly due to the masses of ways to heal cheaply and effectivley. Therefore you are silly to go for 99 defence before attack and strength if combat is you thing. Likewise training on controlled has the same drawbacks, you're sacrifing the extra hitting potential for less hits. 99 attack is respected as well. Go for that, it has more uses with slayer which you obviously enjoy. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
