Promise Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not sure who I should use, but I keep getting mixed stories about them both, so I figured I'd make a thread asking for advice instead. I will be using range and range only. I also wanted this to be a way to collect a stock pile of charms. My current slayer level is 72, and I can use NPC contact, will I be able to talk to sumona using it? So, which slayer master would you suggest, and please give some sort of explanation, thanks! -Promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlowinRedM Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I can't answer it all, but Sumona gives more tasks that you can use a cannon for and you CAN use NPC contact to talk to her. The corp beast, is, well, just a corp beast. He doesnt even have any friends.[spoiler=Other Quotes]tbh idk why this makes me laugh so hardAll DFS threads turn into efficiency flame wars >.>>OP asks "why use DFS?">everyone says "there is no reason">someone says "stop bashing people who use DFS, efficiency troll ass clown">thread is now a flame fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If you're Ranging I'd say Summona would be a bit more forgiving. Lapalok/Duradel tend to be a bit more melee-favorable. Click Here for a Common Sense Dungeoneering Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promise Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks for the help, finished my task of 115 hell hounds with range, got about 60k exp. Now I tried sumona, got 145 banshees. I should probably unlock the ones in the slayer well? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If you know how, you can range most-all of Lapalok tasks. Sumona's are easily cannonable, but the exp you get and the charms aren't that good. NPC contact isn't need that much as you can slayer ring to sumona and Karamja Gloves 3 to Lapalok. And on most task alching items helps. Thanks for the help, finished my task of 115 hell hounds with range, got about 60k exp. Now I tried sumona, got 145 banshees. I should probably unlock the ones in the slayer well? lol If you done the quest they should be unlocked already. Its only the other 4 monsters that you need to kill the bosses for.

Promise Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks for the help! I haven't trained slayer in months, so I'm a bit rusty. But yes, I've completed smoking kills. Sumona's tasks drop more green charms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promise Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Oh dear god, ranging these individually is incredible boring. Cannon task. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumona's tasks drop more green charms? Yes, most of sumona's task drop greens. I notice that a good majority of Lapalok's drop crimsons. Mainly higher level tasks though.

ultimatballr Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Typically I would say Duradel if you are over 100 f2p combat. It's just the best exp you can get as well as charms too. Even though you are only using range I would still go with Lapalok since you want a good amount of charms in the process too. The tasks will be long and boring but this is the path we chose lol (I say we because I am slaying to 99 ranged atm) Apparently, my signature was to big.

Cptbaker08 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I got these since i hit 88 summoning. Its been about a month or 2 of slaying. I'm real bad at paying attention to how long i play. But all those come from Duradel so you can get the idea.

Getting slayer points from is just too slow for me. He also gives monster that are hard (and sometimes slow exp) to kill, such as: black demons, mithril dragons, goraks, warped terrorbird, waterfiend Unless you can deal with these fairly fast, or else only lapalok for your 10th.

JoeDaStudd Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Completely up to you. Personally I switched over from Sumona to Lapalok a month or so ago and have never looked back. I've been having a good run of tasks all of which apart from 2 tasks out of about 12 would have been easy to range.

Inuashakent Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Everything I was going to been has been said. Lapalok gives bigger tasks, more charms, and all are pretty easy to range. Less use of cannon, too. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormveritas Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sumona is much better for range if you aren't a cannoner (I wasn't, and used Sumona to get to 99 range). She gives tasks like turoth and kurask frequently, and both can be killed quickly and cheaply with broad tipped bolts. She also gives cave horrors (great money!) and they are terrific to range as well. Lapalok is the best melee master, although he's been giving me a really hard time of late.
