The endless debate between runescape player, which skill is harder; runecrafting, or slayer?

 

 

 

I personally think runecrafting is harder because even though slayer may take a longer timer to accomplish it requires a lot less focus and attention. It is also a very repetitive skill that can get boring fairly quickly.

 

 

 

But what do you guys think? Is slayer really easier than runecrafting? Or is it the other way around?

Runecrafting - requires more attention and is slower, and is also arguably more 'boring' because you don't switch tasks like you do with slayer.

In difficulty, Slayer has the higher risk.

 

 

 

RuneCrafting is almost safe, any risk is added by the way you choose to do so.

 

 

 

Overall, neither is harder, both require you to pay attention, Slayer has the risk factor from some monsters, RuneCrafting has it from Revs. Runecrafting likely takes more time, yet is fairly monotonus. Slayer is perhaps quicker, and has varience, and the element of danger.

Runecrafting is harder, but faster. Slayer is easier, but slower.

 

 

 

But that's simply my opinion.

Runecrafting is the toughest one. But mining beats em to it. :-#

Hardly. Mining is rather quick, 60-70k an hour, or 40k an hour unfocused, and easy. Runecrafting is very, very dull, aswell as having a terrible exp rate, with it's very max, at 99, being around 40k an hour.

 

 

 

Slayer is much easier, simply because you have scene changes.

Mining is harder mentaly than Runecrafting, Slayer. I can RC for hours, Days. But i can hardly mine for 30 mins..

Runecrafting: 40k+ xp an hour.

 

Slayer: 25-30k xp an hour.

 

 

 

'Nuff said.

id say slayer cuz u cant just do the same thing over and over and over you have to vary and u cant just go into hibernate mode like with rc also slayer is slower with the varied exp rates.

I think slayers harder.

 

 

 

Slayer is just, so, damn, boring.

Runecrafting: 40k+ xp an hour.

 

Slayer: 25-30k xp an hour.

 

 

 

'Nuff said.

 

No.

 

 

 

This topic is about the harder 99, not the xp rate.

Agreed.

 

 

 

Some people may actually like slayer.

Runecrafting is harder, but faster. Slayer is easier, but slower.

 

:thumbup: Also, I love training Slayer (getting close to 85), but I can't stand RC (42) because of the repetitivity.

Runecrafting just because boredom is half the battle if you ask me. Slayer gives a variety and helps you gain XP in several other skills.

Runecrafting is harder, but faster. Slayer is easier, but slower.

That's an opinion I can agree with.

Runecrafting: 40k+ xp an hour.

 

Slayer: 25-30k xp an hour.

No.

Actually, his xp rates can be used as a base... Runecrafting brings in a lot more money, but Slayer brings in Summoning charms. Runecrafting is definitely more tedious... So basically, Runecrafting is more boring, but faster.

Everyone says runecrafting is faster, but if you start training slayer before you're maxed combat, you'll get a massive load of combat xp too. I know it's not slayer xp, but for slayer the overall xp is higher for sure, and that should be considered too in my opinion.

 

It's one of the things I dislike about runecrafting. You work hard and focus on it for a day, and only get like 150k xp, while I can get 100k slay xp/day without even really trying, and I get melee/range experience too.

Runecrafting: 40k+ xp an hour.

 

Slayer: 25-30k xp an hour.

Yes, but the xp rates don't neccesarily say something about how hard a skill is. That's my point basically.

Well IMHO Runecrafting is definitely the harder. Xp rate only gives the theoretical speed. During my race to 99 slayer I slayed for hour after hour, it's easy to mentally switch off.

 

 

 

For me, Runecrafting is incredibly boring, I find it difficult to spend more than 2 hours in any session, running back and forth, filling and emptying pouches etc., etc.

 

 

 

So, yes, whilst Runecrafting is faster per hour, slayer is easier to do for much longer periods of time.

 

 

 

Again, this is only MY opinion, obviously.

Depending on how you do it, I'd say runecrafting is easier. If you have people running pure ess for you, you can get massive exp fairly quickly. At 91 you don't even need to pay people to run essence for you. With slayer, there is really only one way to train. Get a task, kill a monster x times. Also, slayer is more or less impossible to get without combat skills. Runecrafting is a much better way for pures to make money. I would say slayer is the harder 99.

True, but he was wrong about saying "nuff said" because there are numerous other factors to take into account. I mean, Prayer is faster Xp than Woodcutting but I doubt people would call it easier just for that.

Runecrafting: 40k+ xp an hour.

 

Slayer: 25-30k xp an hour.

Well Runescape doesn't take any skill... unless you mean, of course, it's boring. Which I completely agree with.

Definitely runecrafting. repetitive, boring and needs a LOT of attention.

If you factor in boredom and capal tunnel, RC is much harder

Runecrafting - requires more attention and is slower, and is also arguably more 'boring' because you don't switch tasks like you do with slayer.

 

 

 

this pretty much explains what I think :thumbup:
