Items to get

[pityme]

Hi guys, i was wondering which item(s) to get next from the following (all other basics I have)

 

-Karils for tanking

-Ahrims for mage , im using mystics atm

-Dclaws for faster kills

-Bandos (yeah a luxury item so last?)

-z spear for drag tasks as im near super antis (herblore to lvl up in bank)

-Armadyl for range

 

Yeah i know i should save up for turm but thats in the long run, im also working on a chaotic

 

THanks!

i assume this is for slayer?

 

i'd say:

 

berserker ring

amulet of fury

z spear (once you get rapier, you will only use it for waterfiends tasks)

karils (when you are below 95 summoning and have either 95 prayer or 88 summoning, you could temporarily sell this since with unicorn or soulsplit you can live with black hides. once you get 95 though buy it back since it's off to the chaos tunnels with an iron titan)

dragon claws

bandos

ahrims (useless for slayer until 93)

The base slayer gear is as follows (alternatives in brackets):

• [For all slayer monsters except those mentioned under other weapons] Chaotic rapier (whip)
  
• Bandos body + legs (Verac's skirt with either fighter torso or proselyte top)
  
• [Depending on prayer/accuracy needs] Fire cape/Soul Wars cape/Ardougne cloak 3
  
• Barrows gloves (your best rfd gloves, at least rune)
  
• Dragon boots (rune boots)
  
• Amulet of fury (glory)
  
• Rune defender
  
• Berserker ring (i)/ferocious ring if slaying in Kuradal's Dungeon (berserker ring, warrior ring)
  
• [Most important] Full slayer helmet.
  
• [For magic defence on waterfiends/aquanites] Karil's top and bottom (black dragonhide body and chaps, elite void skirt)
  
• [Crush attacks to use on waterfiends] Chaotic maul (Saradomin sword, Zamorakian spear)
  
• [stab attacks for higher-levelled dragons, when not using rapier] Zamorakian spear (Korasi's sword, leaf-bladed sword)
  
• Task-specific items such as mirror shields, antifire shields/potions, elemental shields, rock hammers, crystal chimes
  
• Cannon (optional, up to personal preference)
  

Slayer setups generally emphasise strength bonus, which increases the average damage of each succesful hit (slayer monsters usually having rather low defence, hitting is not a problem). Secondly, prayer bonus is important to keep the cost of prayer potions down (as you slay with piety on, to increase the speed of your kills. This is cost-effective and highly recommended). As a rule of thumb, +15 prayer bonus or above is good, but don't overdo it (anything above +25 is a waste). Defence and accuracy bonus are usually not fretted over (any defence bonus over 200 will do; if you get hit too often you should be using a protection prayer). Dagganoth, black demon, lesser demon, hellhound, bloodveld and spectre tasks should be cannoned, as it dramatically increases xp rates (although it costs a bit).

 

Some notes on gear: You'll want a fury and a berserker ring before you get bandos plate, and get that before tassets. You'll want accuracy bonus on higher-levelled dragons; if using stab attacks (which you should) you can use the Ardougne cloak 3 which provides you with +6 stab and +6 prayer bonus. Torso + sw cape and fire cape + proselyte are common cheap top/cape combinations; the former is better.

 

Some levels to get for slayer (in approximate order but I'm not sure on the summoning):

• 68 summoning - bunyip
  
• 81 dungeoneering (you need 2 million xp, which takes you to level 80, but allowing some tokens for the scroll of life) - rapier
  
• 89 herblore (85 with a +4 stew boost) - extreme potions, superantifires
  
• 95 prayer - turmoil and soul split
  
• 88 summoning - unicorn
  
• 96 herblore (91 with a +5 stew boost) - overload
  
• 99 summoning - steel titan
  

I'm sure I missed something but this is most of it.

Lol Quyneax, I love how universally applicable that post is :rolleyes:

[Quyneax]

Hehe is that sarcasm?

[Zaaps1]

I'm sure it isn't.

 

Tbh I'd get Zspear. Black dhide is a good sub for Karils in the few times you need it for slayer. You shouldn't mage slay at all, unless it's ice wyrms or you've no need for melee or range levels. Dclaws help a lot, but imo it's not worth giving up something like EE or SGS for. If you don't have either of those, maybe you could consider getting claws. But then again, wouldn't it be a whole lot easier (and cheaper) to just level for an EE? Bandos is very useful during slayer, however it is not more important than owning a Zspear. I'd get bandos only after I had a ZS.

 

Then again, if you get yourself a Chaotic Rapier as you say you will (at least, I hope so, you aren't considering CLS or Maul first, are you?), you'll only use ZS for Waterfiends...

Ah thanks guys, Im definitely getting crapier first, but until then, which tasks will zspear be good for/which bosses?

[Quyneax]

Bosses: corp. Tasks: metal dragons with superantifires (which you don't have) and waterfiends.

[pityme]

Ah and what comes next after zspear?

[Zaaps1]

Bandos. Without a doubt.

 

Maybe Karils if you don't mind spending a LITTLE extra. Compared to Bandos it's not that much, but if you could only have one or the other, I'd pick Bandos.

[Bladewing]

i'd only buy karils if you are going to be doing ct waterfiends

On task, of course, otherwise elite void would still be better.
