Seeing as I have a few weeks off now I was thinking about getting my first ever 99. My 2 options were either Bandits or Slaying for it. I'd only do slayer if the amount of time it took was just a bit longer than Bandits, because the profit would be worth the extra time. Does anyone have an estimate on how long 99 would take me?

If your doing it right slayer should beat bandits...

Slayer Will Keep You Entertained, But sometimes will be a pain killing traveling everywhere and buying supplies

 

Bandits Boring But consistent

 

 

I did my 99 Attack at giant skeletons in damis lair. Totally empty With the right equipment and this one item i forget what it is that is strong against skeletons u should do great. Plus its empty most of the time might wanna check this out

It's about 185 hours slaying, or 130 at AZ's. I don't know about bandits, I think they're slightly slower than AZ's though I don't know exactly how much slower.

I found slayer the fastest xp/h possible :S The only thing that slows me down is travelling and getting tasks. However when i'm on tasks i ALWAYS average above 100k xp/h, just did a fire giant task killed 175 in 30 minutes which is over 150k melle xp/h, albeit i used extremes, turmoil and iron titan. Either way slayer is the way to go due to the massive profits, the entertainment factor, and the fact that it's more slay xp/h then bandits definately.

So what would be the "right" way?

Super/Extreme potions on every task, combat familiar when you can, piety/turmoil every task, have the worst tasks blocked, use Lunar magic for NPC contact or Ferocious Rings/Karamja Gloves 3. Skip tasks that are hard and slow to kill.

 

Also when doing exp/hr for slayer you should include the time to bank and get a new task. But with items such as the Ferocious Rings and Fairy Rings it should be easier to get to the master and to a bank.

Meh, both are good. Slayer's only efficient if you have quite a high level in it though...

Like tieszen said, please don't bump extremely old topics. This was very dead and EoC has probably rendered most of the advice moot anyway.
