Just buy Black mask, Hexcrest, Focus Sight ~ 7m

Full Rune for melee slayer task ~ 200k

Full Black D'hide for maging slayer task ~ 40k

2,000 Sharks ~ 2.7m

Zamorakian Spear ~ 5.2m

With 70 defence he should in no way use rune. Not even with super defence is it a good idea.

 

 

Get a black mask at first. The 15% boost is awesome. When you get 500 points (enough to cancel/block a task) then buy the slayer helm. Get the focus and hex if you wish to add to it.

Buy a Torags body and Veracs skirt. The defence will be needed at your level. It may be seen as overkill at mine, but even on some monsters I struggle.

Get Karils instead of the Dhide. Karils will help much better against tasks you need to have mage defence.

2K sharks? Waste...... Go with 2K monkfish or pineapple pizza if you want to.

ZS is a good idea. Go with this or a SS for tasks like WF's. Then again, if you're using duradal then make sure to have a ZS if you do aquanub tasks.

Stock up on pots too ;) Prayers are currently crashing and easy to get. Make sure that if you can afford it to pray and cannon each task. You'll still profit.

Go for a fury if you wish. The bonus's do help quite a bit at times.

Rune defender is essential.

Maybe try and get prayer up a little.

Prosylite armour.

 

Hope that helps.

In my opinion get a ZS, a whip and defender, Black d'hide, rune full, and try to get the full slayer helmet

this. cannon isnt essential, but it does speed things up. i disagree about karils tho. its alot more money for not much more mage def. stick with black dhide. also, if you can spare it, get saradomin sword over z spear. its better for all around str training, and has a great crush attack. however, if you jsut plan to train with controlled with whip (witch is not a bad idea with your stats) disregard sara sword.

full helmet, zamorakian spear, and cannon is not necessary. Buy black d'hides, black mask, guthan's plate, torag's legs, dragon boots, whip, dragon sq, and fury (all that is about 16M). Spend 1M on supplies (super sets, monks, ppots ect). Keep the other 1M untill you need it. Also if you don't feel like spending 9m on a fury, just buy a glory.

Cannon speeds up tasks considerably if he has the cash and chooses to use it. Also in some situations it profits (wyverns, aberrants, strykewyrms) and gives good range exp, however it is not 100% necessary, it's a luxury for those who can. Might I ask why the torag legs? ;) Verac skirt has same values as T Legs and a prayer bonus, allowing the poster to switch the plate for prosylite and have extra defence as veracs is only 1 prayer point below prosy legs.

Guthan top has same def as torags, so meh.

Dragon square is good for defence, but tbf the poster will find much more use out of the accuracy bonus of a rune defender on slayer tasks.

[TirithAear]

Black mask

Dragon platelegs

Rune platebody or dragon chain

Obby shield or rune defender

Whip

Obby cape

Dragon boots

 

I would advise monks depending on what your fighting.

torag legs are cheaper. same with guthan top.

Verac skirt is worth the extra money. It's only a couple of hundred K on top and gives epic defence if you want to piety things.

[Mischlings]

The prayer bonus is really good if you ever decide to use boosting prayers to make tasks go by faster. It's 500k or so -- it really won't break anyone's bank.

 

Also, if you have 70 defence, unless you insist on DIY, there is no reason to use rune. Barrows armours are far and away much better and don't cost too much.

 

Full slayer helm isn't necessary -- hexcrest and focus sight do help, but so much of what you do will be melee that it's not that great of a difference. I'd save that for when you have more money. But definitely get the slayer helm -- if you don't use that, don't slay.

 

Use Torag's/Guthan's Plate with Verac's skirt. Abyssal whip with rune defender is also a must. Get either fury or glory depending on how much you have to spend -- the fury is a lot more expensive than the glory and the attack bonuses are the same, so a glory can do. Use dragon boots and barrows gloves, along with warrior or berserker ring.

 

Using rune or dragon is a waste -- barrows repairs don't cost that much, and the defence you lose is significant -- the only armour with worse defence you should ever use is proselyte (when you use piety), Karil's (when you need magic defence), or Bandos (extra strength bonus when you really don't need the defence).

thanks everyone but ill go with Ezkaton idea

 

thanks again :thumbsup:

I vote for controlled ;)

 

Anyways, A good def armour would be something like Torag, you could also go for Guthans for it's healing effect to save on food.

Black D hide is VERY cheap and great for Tasks that need Mage def, and obviously on for tasks that you might Range on.

 

Buy a black mask, it's 15% boosts makes up for the defence lost easily.

A Whip is IMO the best overall weapon, and easily affordable with your cash pile

A Zamorakian Spear is The best for tasks that need Stab, and is about equal to the Saradomin Sword for tasks that need Crush (Spear has higher crush, SS has higher str)

Buy some Super Atk and Str potions for any melee tasks you do, and range potions if you plan to range any tasks. Super defs are optional, I personally don't use them. Also buying some Prayer/Super restore potions (prayer are much cheaper) for any tasks you use prayer on.

 

Have fun, Slayer is one of my favorite skills :thumbsup:

 

Note: Why are people suggesting Verac's skirt so much? Torag and Dharok Legs have higher def and cost less a few hundred K less. Guthan skirt is less then half the price with better def as well.

[Ezkaton]

Dh legs only have +6 more ranged defence with all the other values staying the same.

Same with torag.

Verac beats guthans skirt by about 10 in each of the defence stats other than range where it beats it by 2.

 

And overall out of the majority of slayer tasks you're going to be doing you'll be meleeing and not taking ranged damage.

 

Therefore with the added prayer bonus verac's skirt is superior. Also if Sammyboy ever got his prayer to 70 (forgot his stats so I assume he hasn't) and has a task like hellhounds and he wishes to check out piety he can just pop a prosy plate on and have high defence and prayer. (;) Yes this could be needed. even with 99 defence I need a setup like this on hells or nechs because I simply take too much damage now at times)

[The_Fray]

The Zamorakian Spear is definately a better choice over the Saradomin Sword since the spear contains a stab option which is very useful at dragons, aquanites, etc.

They suggest it because it offers a prayer bonus and a good defense.

Herblore level is too low to be using a 2 handed weapon @ dragons
