85 Slayer Questions.

[gorgoroth]

I need some advice from people with 85 Slayer. I know both of my questions are going to be hard to answer but i just need a "estimate" or a "ball park figure".

 

 

 

I'm about 72k from 80 Slayer. How many tasks will i need to complete to get to 85 Slayer?

 

Also ive got just about enough charms for 82 Summoning, will 85 Slayer put me anywhere near enough for 90 Summoning? If not, were should it put me?

 

Which would be the better way to make money after getting 85 Slayer? Spiritual Mages or Abbysal Demons?

 

 

 

I'll be looking to make round about 250M to get myself to 90+ Summoning, maybe 99 Prayer and have enough money for some decent GWD Armour. So, any advice?

 

 

 

EDIT: I have an estimate of about 100 - 110 tasks before i get to 85 Slayer, is that nearly correct?

 

Also i've hear Mages are better money, but i just need some advice from expienced players.

As far as I'm aware of, mages are constant profit, but dragon boots are dropping and whip is rising to 3m. So if you would want to get the best money, I'd go for Abyssal Demons.

 

You won't get to 90 Summoning. I am pretty sure of that. Maybe 87-88, unless to get very very good charm droppers.

 

I think I average like 17k xp/hour from Duradel dude. (Even if I don't have 85 slayer just yet). Making 250m will take a lot camping at abby demons anyway :-s

Well by the time i get 85 Slayer i'm sure that the whip will have gone down again too, so i guess constant income is better than "luck based" income. And making 250M is quite a large target but i dont intend on getting all of it from just Mages/Demons, there will be alot of Aramdyl, Bandos and Saradomin Boss Hunting inbetween. So that should lighten the load.

[winterhawk18]

if my memory serves correct it took roughly 140 tasks for me to get from 78 slayer to where i am now which is about 100k off 86

 

 

 

but this is over a larger exp range then what you would require for 85, so the estimate of 100-110 sounds right

 

 

 

as for your demons v. mages question it really depends on prices cashwise but abbys have valueable drops other than whips, whereas mages only drop some pure ess and a little bit of nats/astrals, abbys are a little more luck based because you can kill 1k without a whip or get 2 in 100 kills, but in the longrun it should average out to about the same cash/hr as mages, perhaps even better if whips keep rising. But demons also drop a decent amount of charms whereas mages drop none and I believe they are also a little bit better xp/hr, so unless whips drop to 1.5m again and d boots somehow stay around 350k-400k id say stick with abbys

 

 

 

as somebody else already said I doubt you get passed 88 summoning unless you get alot of waterfiend/black demon tasks

[Quorra]

It took me 210 tasks for me to get from 75-85 but some were low XP tasks, so I'm guessing for you, 100-150.

[Mercifull]

I was level 78 when I did Smoking kills. I just reached level 85 slayer and I am on my 98th task. Duradel/Lapalok only.

[Cptbaker08]

Sp Mages are better then Abbys. For making money. But SP mages don't drop any charms, and Abbys drop crimsons fairly often. So once you get to 85 you can camp Abbys, get some charms and maybe a few whips. But there are also other people that camp Abbys making it hard to get kills for yourself.

[GibberEsh]

For your summoning question, you'll probably get to 86-88, but definitely not 90 like someone said.

 

You'll find that camping gets quite boring but that's your choice. If you kill in the abbysal plane (A L R), you will hardly have competition unlike the slayer tower. Also, don't be expecting whips to fly out and they are rather slow to kill. I think mages make more profit since dboots are more common but if you want to reach 90 summoning, go kill abbys. You could always mix em up so you don't die of boredom.

[Seraphi]

Camping usually isn't very good profit anyway, from my averages, I made around 450k per hour at abyssal demons, back when I was camping for a head.

 

Mages, on the other hand, are about 500k per hour by my counts

 

 

 

Seriously, you're way better off doing something else for money, and not crowding up the slayer locations.

[D Jay99]

I got ~18k xp/task 83-88 slayer. So, that would be around 73 tasks to get 85.

 

Summoning seems to be 0.8 summoning xp/slay xp or something, so getting 85 slayer would get you around 1m xp in charms, or close to level 86. Since you don't need melee xp but do need charms, abyssal demons would probably be better to kill.

[gorgoroth]

Well it seems that ill be looking at 86-ish Summoning then :)

And 500k an hour seems very good. I doubt ill look for any other way to make money because i love melee and the nly other faster option would be Green Dragons. Since i find them amazingly boring after killing over 15k of them over my time i guess ill just have to crowd up slayer locations. I'm sure people will understand ;)

Having just got 85 Tuesday, I hit 265 tasks in a row. I believe I started putting them in a row from around level 50. I'd say it will get you about 5 or 6 Summoning levels maybe, but I like to camp Waterfiends so I can't exactly say. Personally I'd just stick with Slayer for your money. I've made over 1mil on even a Gargoyle task, 1.2mil on a Spirit mage task, and just yesterday I got lucky with 2 whips and a Sara helm clue, so just sticking with Slayer seems to pay well, plus you're always training at least 3 skills with it :thumbsup:

I did think about doing this but then money making becomes a "down to the draw" kind of skill. What i mean by that is i will only make good money if i get good assignments. In all honesty what are the chances of me getting alot of Mages and Abby's for tasks? Chances are slim. Unless someone can convince me that i'll make more money with Slayer getting while getting alot of tasks such as Dagannoths and Bloodvelds which make very little money, i think sticking to camping would be a better option. Camping at a NPC and killing it because of a task doesnt influence the droprate of its rares anyway, so it won't make much of a difference.

[Cptbaker08]

Depending on how you do tasks you can make a nice amount of money.

 

 

 

Dags under the lighthouse are fast. But if you pray them in the CT you can make maybe 100k profit a task. Or you can kill the Dag Kings and have a chance at some of their rarer drops.

 

 

 

If you can kill Mutated Bloodvelds they are good exp tasks. They also drop lots of alchables.

 

 

 

Most tasks its not the rare drops that make money, its mostly the common drops such as herbs, seeds, and rune drops (that you alch). Now a few rare drops here and there will add up. But you can make money from other methods.

 

 

 

Also if you do slayer, don't forget to do farming on the side along with MTK. These also affect how much money you can gain.

dags do drop dagg hides frequently which are used for summoning. if you sell them you will profit, not as much as mages and abyss but still.

Somehow I think he is using the LT daggonoths, but if it is profit you're looking for you should consider doing the CT ones as they pay back for the cost in prayer pots and more : .

[Zaaps1]

Took me ~30-40 tasks to get from 78-83, so something around there.

I am infact using the CT dags, but they only make me a small profit each trip. Maybe 100k after paying for the P Pots. You cant really get "rich" from 100k.

[Phixcire]

abyssal demons are a dissapointment for me i would rather get mages for boots ive had 8 abyssal tasks since 85 slayer and only 2 whip drops

[gorgoroth]

Then i would just like to find out wether or not my setups are okay. for melee i use the following:

 

 

 

Guthan Plate

 

Guthans Skirt

 

Slayer Helm

 

R O W

 

Barrows Gloves

 

Whip

 

Rune Def

 

Dragon Boots

 

Skillcape (t)

 

Fury

 

 

 

Im planning on swithing the Guthans Skirt to Dharoks Legs later today.

 

 

 

For ranged i use the following:

 

 

 

Full Black Dragonhide

 

Snakeskin Boots

 

Barrows Gloves

 

R O W

 

Accumulator

 

Fury

 

Slayer Helm

 

Unholy Book

 

MSB/Rune Crossbow

 

 

 

Im Planning on buying a Robin and Ranger Boots soon as i can.

 

 

 

For Mage Def i just use Black D'hide but im planning on buying Karil's soon as i have the funds. Right now im saving up for a Zammy Spear for Waterfiend Tasks. Ive also got a friend that lends me his SGS 24hours a day, so ive basically got an SGS too. Decent enough?

[Phrost]

abyssal demons are a dissapointment for me i would rather get mages for boots ive had 8 abyssal tasks since 85 slayer and only 2 whip drops

 

Agreed, even though I just had 3 whips in 2 tasks.

hey, i recently got 85 slayer(within the last week) and it's been a disappointment, i have killed about 300 abby demons and none of the drops so far are any good, i much prefer the spiritual mages, they are much better money maker for me but at first i did go through a bad drop streak with them with 600 kills and only 2 dragon boots, i'm now on 12 boots in 1300 kills.

Wow 12 boots in 1300kills is pretty impressive. How many will i be able to kill a hour with maxed melee though? And willl i get bored of them fast?

[oliboli1992]

they are pretty easy to kill as they spend most of their time killing other monsters, you can camp there for pretty much ever due to them only dropping runes and noted ess, but your bag will get full from the dragon boots drop, i think the drop rate of dragon boots is something like 1 in 70..so 12 in 1300 isn't that good. I would sufggest that you get 85 slayer anyway so when you go to gwd and your stat get lowered by one you don't have to wait for it to restore for you to be able to kill the mages.

dragon boots droprate is about 1/100
