Sinkhan Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm doing the fast points method so I get quite a few pyrefiend tasks from Mazchna. Would it be a good idea to slay them in Soul Wars and gain some zeal while I'm at it or would full on slaying be the better choice since I wouldn't be attacked? Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purewcnub Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 slayer sucks. So does soul wars. Don't do either, train a better skill. Goals: 94 magic94 ranged55 slayerAddy gloves-done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulxai Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 slayer sucks. So does soul wars. Don't do either, train a better skill. That doesn't help at all. Maybe he likes slayer? OT: I'd prefer to just regular slay them. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulxai Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 That is very helpful. Don't waste your time training slayer. No that's not helpful. This is a game of raising your skills. Slayer raises that skill, the combat skill you're using, and you collect charms for Summoning at the same time. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus_Status Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 yes statisticly slayer isn't the best way to train, but this game isn't about doing the most effiecient things to level up, it's about doing what you enjoy. ot: I'd just slay them normaly.

Cptbaker08 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well seeing as slaying is the only way to gain slayer exp and raise your slayer level, I say its bad to just skip the tasks and waste points on them. Better to kill what you get assigned. Now if you were to just train attack/strength/defense then there are better ways to do that. P.S.

CastleWars3 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Slayer is probably one of the best skills. It keeps training interesting and the only way to train it is by fighting so you might as well not skip on the tasks. Btw: If you get jellies or pyrefiend tasks, go into sw as you get free sw pts towards rewards while you slay. :thumbsup: 99 Fletching - 08/14/08Fire Cape - 3/7/09Quest Cape - 12/29/0999 Defense - 3/17/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 So far, castlewars3 has come to closest to actually addressing my question. I appreciate everyone's replies, but really I think the main idea of my post has been missed. I asked whether or not I should be slaying in SW on pyrefiend/jelly tasks so I could gain xp and zeal at the same time. The problem I saw with it was the potential to be killed during the game, affecting possible rates of xp. So far CW3 is the only one to suggest that I should go ahead and do so. And purewcnub as most have said, you telling me that I shouldn't train slayer doesn't help with my question at all. Yes, I have read compfreak's rant and in much detail, but I slay to: 1. Get better equipment. Super cheap and powerful broad bolts, accurate and cost efficient slayer dart, and the LBS as a cheap stabbing weapon. Many would say these are very good weapons additions to anyone's arsenal. 2. For diaries and quests and such. The Falador 3 shield is one of my long standing goals as it looks so awesome and has equally awesome benefits. It requires 72 slay. 3. Variety is the spice of life. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_Status Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 To answer your question I don't think having to put up with the competition of soul wars and people killing you while you slay would be worth the extra few zeal you'd get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death123141 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 To answer your question I don't think having to put up with the competition of soul wars and people killing you while you slay would be worth the extra few zeal you'd get in tie worlds ppl dont usualy attack ppl at jellies or fiends and ther is less ppl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patr1ck Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Just regular slay them. Many times I see people at jellies and pyrefiends getting picked on by high lvls. So expect to die quite alot if you do soul wars. Anyway the xp you get from sw is extremely small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGmaestro Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 you should definetly regular slay them, not soul wars. sw doesnt really give very good xp, as others have already brought up. however, what no one has mentioned yet is the wait time to join in a sw wars game, especially on the crowded worlds. all the time wasted waiting is time that could be spent killing creatures through regular slayer tasks.
