Just Started Playing Again - Need some advice

[nonamer13ismyname]

I just started playing again after taking a break in January of 2008. Yes quite a long time since I have played.

 

I am mostly caught up in what has happened since my leave.

 

 

I currently have around 60M in cash, Guthans, Fury, and a Whip. I want to start slaying a lot more, and would like to know what the best gear now is. I remember it USED to be guthans but now people use some summoning creature, it seems. Do you recommend I keep the guthans or is there now a better way to heal? Is there any other gear that is basically a necessity nowadays?

 

 

Stats are as follows:

 

95 Attack

87 Strength

86 Defence

92 Hitpoints

77 Range

78 Prayer

94 Mage

69 Slayer

17 Summoning

 

If you need a noncombat stat for some reason, feel free to ask. I use Duradel.

bunyips add on to guthans' already impressive healing rate...with a bunyip+guthans...you will never really have to worry about healing...ever...lol

Not true by a long shot.

 

I'd like to see you take of corp, or the GWD bosses or nomad with guthans and bunyip without needing to worry bout food etc

Okay, this is mostly copy-pasted from what I posted in another thread, but I'll try to make it as relevant as possible.

 

Equipment:

Slayer Helm/Black Mask -- a must. If you cannot get this, do not slay. The black mask alone will work fine until you get enough points for the helm.

Fire Cape/Soul Wars Cape -- the only two that I ever use on melee tasks, though really, just about any cape will do.

Torag's Platebody -- good defence, cheap, repairs aren't that expensive

Verac's Skirt -- good defence, prayer bonus, no real reason to not use this

Dragon Boots, Barrows Gloves -- best overall gloves and best melee boots

Abyssal Whip -- see the note next to slayer helm

Rune Defender -- see note next to slayer helm

Berserker Ring -- +4 strength is a great help, but warrior ring is a decent choice if you can't afford a berserker. If you use Kuradal, Ferocious Ring is a must within her dungeon.

Amulet of Fury -- Best amulet for, well, pretty much everything

Karil's Top and Skirt -- for when you need magic defence

Cannon and cannonballs -- for powering through some tasks. It's expensive, but a huge boost in speed

Zamorakian Spear -- for Waterfiend tasks

Full Proselyte -- For whenever you need to use prayers (protection prayer or piety)

 

What are your stats? You'll really want 68 summoning for bunyip -- that makes Guthan's pretty much obsolete. The above is all equipment you'll want for serious slaying. Give me some more information and I should be able to help you more.

Maybe it helps if you post your stats/which Slay master you're using, that would help us to find you some good gear.

My combat stats are: 95 attack, 87 strength, 86 defence, 92 hits, 77 range, 94 mage, 69 slayer and 78 prayer.

 

I am only 17 summoning so I have quite a while until I get to Bunyips :mellow:

 

I use Duradel for my master,

 

Slayer Helm/Black Mask -- a must. If you cannot get this, do not slay. The black mask alone will work fine until you get enough points for the helm.

Fire Cape/Soul Wars Cape -- the only two that I ever use on melee tasks, though really, just about any cape will do.

Zamorakian Spear -- for Waterfiend tasks

Full Proselyte -- For whenever you need to use prayers (protection prayer or piety)

 

Everything crossed out is what I have. For the cape I have been using a trimmed skillcape as I haven't been able to beat Jad yet.

 

Thanks for the help/

Since you only have 17 summoning, Guthan's will work until you do get 68 -- though I would put everything (Tears of Guthix, xp lamps, any other rewards) towards summoning until you get it. It will change how you slay completely. Also, buy the things you haven't crossed off, as they're needed for waterfiend tasks, which are one of the best charm droppers in the game. About 80% of their drops are crimson charms, which is immensely helpful for training summoning.

 

Also, once you get 75 slayer (I'm assuming you'll have 110 combat by then), switch to Kuradal. Her tasks are much longer, but it allows much more time spent on task. The Ferocious Ring is also a massive help, both for fighting within her dungeon and getting to Kuradal quickly to get a new task.
