Veteran Slayer's Slayer Master.

[gorgoroth]

Well we all know that Slayer is probably one of the most respected 99's in the game. One of those 99's that can not be bought but can only be reached through ours of grinding. One of the most annoying aspecs of a task is the fact that you only get about 200 of a certain NPC as a task meaning that you need to go get a new tasks every now and then. This can become annoying. So i had a thought, good or bad i'll let you decide. Since camping somewhere is always a bit more fun than having to bank and get reassigned every hour why not come up with a new Slayer Master for those who have a certain high level in Slaying, lets say 95. This new Slayer Master will give you tasks that will require camping for a large ammount of time, for example 1000 Waterfiens, or 300 Black Dragons. This will not really influence the Exp rate of Slayer as you will still recieve the same ammount of exp per NPC as you did before, this might only make Slayer a bit "easier" in terms of getting new tasks. i for one would not mind getting a task of 1000 or even 2000 Waterfiends. Any thoughts on this?

[Sy_Accursed]

Erm no.

 

 

 

The whole thing that is GOOD about slayer is you only have to kill a few hundred a time. This means you aren't camping doing the same thing again and again grinding for xp you are getting out there to a variety of things.

 

 

 

Equally I wouldn't call slayer one of the most respected 99s simply because its been ruined by all the people who got it who are insistent its brilliant and is soooo much better than any other 99. At least the people with 99 fletching, fm or cooking are polite and nice with it and don;t try and make out their sooo amazing

[Demoli]

Being myself a lv 83 slayer i'd say no. Why?

 

The fun about slayer is the constant change of enemies to kill. Releasing a higher lv slayer master would only result in isolation for that npc.

 

Mabe if his tasks gave an exp. boost, or an overwhelming amount of points, other wise it wouldn't be worth it. :|

Well yeah obviously you should be able to get more than 50 points per task if this was every to happen. Maybe even more than 50.

[walka92]

while i think 2000 monsters is a bit steep, i do agree with the fact that they need a new slayer master that assigns more monsters at a time. or make it so that a higher slayer level gives more monsters. like, every 10 levels gives upto 50 more monsters/task (thats for normal tasks with a 199 cap)

[Outsanity]

Erm no.

Because it's NOT sooo amazing, Paw, and Slayer actually is. Fletching can be gained in a matter of a week with slowed training...Slayer takes anywhere from 500-600 hours depending on if you cannon or use piety.

 

 

 

That's the equivalent of spending 2 months, 10 hours a day non-stop, training slayer. Or about 20 full 24-hour days total.

 

 

 

I don't think it's the best 99, but it's clearly one of the longest to achieve, and that you can't deny. It's factual.

[langer]

I wouldn't mind having a higher slayer master that would give from 200 to 300 monsters per task.

 

The thing is you can't really camp for much more longer than this without becoming inefficient. You need to bank once in while either to get more potions or to bank your drops.

[Phrost]

Camping is fun? Heck no. Can't speak for all of the slayers out there but probably a lot of them love slayer so much cause of the variety it brings. Switching from task to task actually is fun. I'd hardly see any fun of grinding 1000-2000 waterfiends in a row, it would get boring after about 300.

 

 

 

Honestly, I can't see this ever happening.

[Bladewing]

Sure, 1000 waterfiends sounds great. How about 1000 steel dragons? 1000 warped terrorbirds? 1000 hellhounds?

 

 

 

You get the idea. Yes, it would be nice to grind out 900 crimsons all with the slayer mask, but no one actually wants to play slayer like that.

[Mercifull]

I always thought that one of the draws to slayer was in the variety of tasks. Also it would take so long to kill 1000 Waterfiends compared to the 200 max normal that you would get faster exp and faster slayer points from using a different master.

 

 

 

Perhaps an addition for higher level slayers would be a new master that allows you to block more stuff.

[BawkBawk219]

Heh, I sure as hell don't want to be assigned 3,000 kalphites. Let alone actually kill them all.

[BloodAngel]

While there are tasks I wouldn't mind getting assigned more of like Dagannoths, Abyssal Demons, Fire Giants and Greater Demons I'd get so bored of Slayer if I was assigned a thousand of one task, regardless of what it was. I get bored now if I get say Fire Giants, Gargoyles, Fire Giants. I do like the idea of another Slayer master, maybe 90+ Slayer, a unique monster, higher quantities and the ability to block more tasks like Mercifull said.

 

In my eyes Slayer is fine the way it is trained at the moment though.

[bored321]

I like slayer because of variety. If i had to kill the same thing over and over for hours on end i would not bother with it. Its not like slayer these days is a major money maker. If they were to add such a slayer master thats gave 1000+ tasks, i defiantly would not use and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Sure it would be nice to get 1000+ of something you like, but there are 10+ things that i would not really be interested doing 1000 on and i would rather save my points for a cash boost at the end of it all.

[Lugia_Lvl138]

I am completely against 1k Waterfiend tasks simply because I already have my 99 Summoning. However, I think a new high level Slayer Master, perhaps level 120+ and requiring around 80 or 85 Slayer would be good. And I for one would LOVE a 1k task of say, Abyssals or Spirit Mages. I also would hope to see Tormented Demons as one of the monsters this new master could assign.

[Toad]

prices would drop because 1k at a certain monster great, 1k dagannoth lets rip out the cannon and get easy xp, 1k bloodvelds yes more cannon, 1k abby spectres cannoncannoncannon.

[gremmy]

Nah, what keeps me slaying is the variation of the monster you're supposed to kill. Would just be annoying tbh.

[rsp]

Erm no.

Agreed, what makes Slayer fun is the diversity of getting different things to do. I am a slayer master already and guess what? I still take slayer tasks because its a much more fun way to get charms than to camp at waterfiends or nechreals or greater demons.

 

 

 

You claim slayer is not buyable and I agree to a certain point. The people who try to shortcut their slayer tasks by using cannons as much as possible (being aggressive to players who slay in the same area) spend insane amounts of money on the skill, in my book that's buying a skill too.

[Dire_Wolf]

As great as that sounds it would make game easier:

 

1) Everyone will do slayer for the 15% Strength and attack boost. Why camp when you can get a 1000 of a monster through Slayer and get a boost and also get Slayer levels up!

 

 

 

2) It will probably make Slayer items drop because more players would do Slayer because of the insane amount of monsters.

 

 

 

3) For people who like variety Slayer will become a disadvantage.

 

 

 

Sorry but this wouldn't work.

[jonni]

One of those 99's that can not be bought

 

 

 

slayer is buyable to a point, you can buy a load of prayer potions and use piety on all of your tasks, or cannon ofcourse.

[nicrune007]

A 5k bloodvelds task would be so awesome. \

No it's not. That just boosts the experience. Therefor mining is buyable because you can buy a pickaxe? Or fishing because you bought a net, harpoon or feathers? Slayer is the slowest skill in RuneScape currently. Runecrafting is easily 40-50K/h with ZMI. Slayer is anything from 15-50K.

 

Killing 300+ any monsters will make Slayer like mining or woodcutting, repeating the same thing over and over again. Hence the reason the tasks are up to 200. That makes the skill vary more and makes it less annoying.

[nurserymaid]

1,000 abbys? No thanks. They're far too busy to train efficiently unless I can get on at a quiet time of day. I think I'd get bored... after 199 dark beasts I'm beginning to nod off.

[Seraphi]

The reason I slay is for the variety of monsters that you have to kill, and I'm sure thats the reason many other people slay as well.

 

Pointless update, will just cause massive crowding on monsters.

[gorgoroth]

Well obviously the monsters assigned to you would still be on the same scale as you get them now. For example you might get 1800 Dagganoths but never 1800 Black Dragons. It shoudl still be on scale to what it is now except now a larger scale. Multiples of 7 or 8 maybe?

 

 

 

I am completely against 1k Waterfiend tasks simply because I already have my 99 Summoning. However, I think a new high level Slayer Master, perhaps level 120+ and requiring around 80 or 85 Slayer would be good. And I for one would LOVE a 1k task of say, Abyssals or Spirit Mages. I also would hope to see Tormented Demons as one of the monsters this new master could assign.

 

And yes the idea of a new Slayer Master is great, but i think it should have a requirement of 90 or 92 Slayer. High level slayers always complain that there are not enough Undates for them, well can't this be it? And instead of just getting the ussualy 15 or 12 points per task you will now get them on the same scale as the moster would be (7 or 8 as i said above). Maybe they could come up with some new gear specially designed for slayers? High level slayers? Maybe enable you to enchant weapons to make the specs more usefull for slaying? Health/Prayer Restores, Stat Boosts? This will only take affect when slaying ofcourse, similar to that of a slayer Helm.

 

 

 

Is that taking it too far?

[Jorgen]

It would be pointless. The variety of the skill will be eventually taken over by grinding Slayer. One task could take up to 3-4 days, depending on the level and how crowded the place can be. Also the prices of super sets, prayer potions, cannonballs and so on will go up drastically, while whips, dragon boots, dark bows and so on will go down in price due to the amount of people killing them.
