85 slayer not to hard?

[Bauke]

Apparently Dagannoths are 80k slayer xp/hour so it's possible. :P

 

 

 

Wrong. Dags are around 30k xp a task. More if you're doing DKs.

 

And a task takes less than 20 minutes. So that means it's 90k an hour.

 

 

 

100k Slayer xp is ridiculous. I played for like 8 hours and got 75k. No, not unless you have 90+ combats, a cannon and knowledge of the quickest way to do each task.

 

Well, you certainly ain't one of the fastest.

[JoeDaStudd]

I love slaying and I agree the exp is mixed at the best of times.

 

 

 

Slayers not hard, but its not easy neither. Its a fun and random way of training combat with some nice rewards.

[Ante]

okay so Soul wars isnt good to train slayer with :(

[cujoman31]

I think most people don't like slayer because they don't train very efficiently. I can get in 100k slayer xp a night without too much trouble. That's playing 3-4 hours. Not using a canno, pure sets, prayer, etc. Using bad weapons like godswords and not going to certain tasks properly prepared hurts too.

 

 

 

I do think though that getting 85 isn't easy. Just because I can get fast xp doset mean someone who is 100 combat and has no knowledge of slayer can.

[spooferfish]

Gettin 100k Slayer XP per day is like playing for 6-7 hours a day hardcore slaying. Not many people can do this with jobs/school/life...

 

 

 

Slayer Isnt hard it is just time consuming.

 

 

 

Exactly. And if you are trying to train melee skills, or combat skills I guess, with slayer, it seems to go faster. :P

[Golvellius]

It used to be hard.

 

Try getting 85 before masks, barrow gloves, defenders, and when whips cost too much to buy and you sought out getting one on your own.

 

It meant something back then, when the whip was the ultimate prize.

 

Now its a boring drudgery thats like twice as fast and a fraction of the accomplishment that it used to be.

 

Slayer is dead, just another nerfed skill with an ughly emote cape...

[pgmr185]

Two things. I actually got 99 Slayer at the end of January this year, and looking back on it 85 was really pretty easy. At the time though, it really didn't seem like it.

 

 

 

Slayer gets easier as you do it because you learn all of the tricks and methods. For those first 85 levels your really just learning how to get things done.

 

 

 

Also, anyone who says that they can melee 100K slayer XP in 3 or 4 hours is kidding themselves. That would be the equivalent of 100-120K melee XP per hour. Now I realize that melee XP of that type can be gotten if you are powertraining, but I just dare you to do it at Gargoyles or Steel Dragons.

 

 

 

XP per hour for slayer is pretty meaningless anyway. I can get around 40K xp in 20 minutes cannoning Mutated Bloodveld, but that doesn't translate into 120K per hour, because I never get an hours worth of them. The next task is just as likely to be super slow.

[Shadiochao]

Clicking and waiting is never hard.

[pgmr185]

What is the best setup for Mithril Dragons? Where's the best place to kill Cave Horrors? How do you most efficiently kill Mighty Banshees? For my task should I bring a combat familiar or BOB? Should I cannon or melee? Pray or tank? What assignments give the best drops, the most charms, the highest XP?

 

 

 

There is a lot more to Slayer than clicking and waiting.

There's really not.

 

You could say the same about cooking.

 

 

 

And after you answer them questions, it's just clicking and waiting. It's not difficult to figure out them answers yourself, so that still doesn't make it hard.

When I was a boy, we didn't get to ride the bus to school, no! We had to walk! Ten miles! Uphill! In the snow! And then we had to walk back home! Ten miles! Uphill! In the snow! Those were the days!

Well I suppose you could say everything in runescape is a series of clicking with more or less waiting in between.

 

 

 

How bout you put on your best stuff and go click and wait at the gargoyles and tell us how that works out for you?

[Libertherme]

I personally loved Slayer, it was my favourite skill in the game so the levels came naturally for me.

 

But no, it's not exactly 'easy', just very slow and time consuming.

 

 

 

But with that comes increasing wealth, well worth the input. \

Everything in Runescape basically IS clicking and waiting.

 

Plus, the click at gargoyles is the hammer, since they auto-attack you. You wait till they're low enough to click.

 

Even when they stop, 2 clicks and waiting isn't much difference.

 

 

 

When I say click and wait, I don't mean a single click, and I don't mean that single click being you attacking the monster.

[Danqazmlp]

The op isnt even ranked in slayer (from what i can see) so how can he say its easy?

 

 

 

People say you can get 100k/h, its possible but will be a rarity for most people. Who the hell gets daggs every task before 85? and uses cannon on every one of them. Its stupid saying oh you can get 100k/h so you can get 85 in x hours.

 

 

 

Slayer has a really high variable rate, sometimes you'l get 20k/h, sometimes 40k. It all depends on your gear too, a majority dont like losing 1k+ cannonballs on every task. I personaly probably get around 20k/h on most tasks taking it easy.

[Punitive_D]

Granting the point that no skill in Runescape is "hard" like training for a sport is hard or digging a ditch is hard, I interpret the question to imply a relative standard. In other words, is it hard compared to other skills in Runescape? I think the best way to answer this is to look at how many people have done it. Not very many have 85 slayer. I have not checked, but I'll bet that there are more combat related skillcapes out there than there are players with 85 slayer. It may be "easy" in some sense, but relatively few get 85 slayer. I call that "hard," probably not as hard as 85 runecrafting, but still relatively hard. My slayer is only 86, but my rank in slayer is a lot higher than my rank in my higher level combat skills. One thing I've learned in going on three years of playing runescape is that if something is easy, lots of people do it. Not a lot (relatively speaking) of people have 85 slayer.

[Neilson1111]

lol.slayer.

 

 

 

I thought it was a noob skill, hey, there are tons of monsters that don't require a slayer level, just kill those!

 

 

 

Wrong.

 

 

 

I got hooked to the skill, it's alot more interesting to train than train at yak's for 99 str,atk,def,and hp.

 

 

 

You waste alot of time, yes, but you won't get bored, and theres a variety.

 

 

 

82 slayer took me 1 month, and I didn't even know.(lol)

 

 

 

I just trained =)

I don't think anyone claims they can do 100k with melee only. You can cannon a lot of tasks. Not to mention a lot of people when they are getting their rates have slow tasks blocked and skip ones that you don't like or aren't good experience. I piety about 1/3 of my tasks, use 10 percent str on the rest, and cannon anytime I can.

 

 

 

Ive been using zarfots slayer guide ever since about 70 slayer and I don't think that with my experience with slayer, my combat stats, and using his methods, gettig an average of 25k slayer xp per hour is an unreasonable number.

[Turnpike]

The skill requires dedication and time. At first I thought 85 Slayer was hard, but now people realize it isn't hard. If anyone with 85+ Slayer would back me up, you will see how much harder it really is after that. It's not an achievement like it used to be, but no reason to be down on it. :

[Outsanity]

People who try to say Slayer isn't one of the slowest skills to get a 99 in don't even have the level themselves. I bet 90% of them would get fed up/bored/aggitated with it after about level 92, when they realize they are STILL only halfway to 99.

 

 

 

Runecrafting, Agility, Mining and Slayer...those are all the most respectable 99s, in my opinion. They take the longest and aren't always the most exciting things to train after a while. It's easy to lose your drive.

 

 

 

And please, folks, let's not forget we are just playing a game here. There's no sense in downing someone because you think what they've achieved is either unimpressive or makes them a no-life. I've been training slayer since I got members about 3 years back. Some days (which don't exist for me anymore) I could devote an entire day to RS and get 250k Slayer exp in a day. Some days I only do a task...maybe possibly two. Either way, I've slayed casually AND hardcore for the past 3 years and it's taken me that long to get where I'm at. I didn't slay the whole time, obviously, but that should give someone an idea of how difficult mustering up the drive to get 99 can be.

 

 

 

85 IS an achievement...it's just now tens of thousands of people have achieved it, whip prices have dropped, and slayer has lost its "new-skill novelty." That's really all there is to it.

[psvstef]

not a single skill in Rs is hard.

[Skeptical]

I think that it is mostly time consuming, but one thing that you have to remember is that you are also training combat and earning money at the same time: it's not like training crafting or herblore: you can't really compare the exp rates.

[smoressoccer]

Average slayer task is 20k/hr, with full concentration, taking into account cannon tasks/slower ones like mith dragons, etc.

 

 

 

AVERAGE 20k/hr.

 

 

 

but yeah slayer's a pretty easy stat if you just manage your time well

[brunokiller]

Gettin 100k Slayer XP per day is like playing for 6-7 hours a day hardcore slaying. Not many people can do this with jobs/school/life...

 

 

 

Slayer Isnt hard it is just time consuming.

 

If you train efficiently, it will take a bit over 3 hours. That isn't really asking for alot.

 

 

 

Oh really? So you get tasks every single time that give 33k exp an hour? Fascinating. Because I have 98 Slayer and I have NEVER achieved 100k slayer exp in 3 hours unless I used penguins points, and those don't count.

 

cough cannoning mutated bloodvelds cough

 

 

 

I have never really focussed on the xp, haven't blocked or skipped anything; I do slayer for fun.

Note I said EVERY TIME, bruno. I know you think you're being really sharp, but in fact you seem to have lost a little of your edge. lol.

 

 

 

If you can get 3 mutated bloodveld tasks in a row, then yes, perhaps 100k is obtainable, but since this rarely to never happens, you can't say that 100k exp per 3 hours is how fast you train slayer. On average for tasks you'll get 20k exp an hour.
