I'm trying to finish the second part of Rag and Bone Man, and the last special bone I need is the Basilisk. Which I need lvl 40 Slayer to kill... and I'm only lvl 36 at this time.

I've been going to Turael in Burthorpe for my Slayer assignments because he gives short, easy tasks. I'm lvl 97 with 70 att, 81 str and 71 def and using melee, so blowing through 45 Goblins or 37 Crawling Hands is a breeze. Why, you may ask (and Turael does!) don't I go talk to higher level Masters to get better exp tasks? Because I hate training Slayer, it's boring, tedious and I'd rather not add difficult to that list. Sure, I COULD go slay dragons and demons to get better XP rates, at the cost of food, pots and frustration I don't want to expend. If something is going to be boring and tedious, I'd at least have it be easy. I'm lazy like that.

I say all that to say this, I really REALLY wish Turael would stop asking if I want to talk to a higher level Slayer Master. If I wanted to, I would. I'm not stupid, just lazy, and if I want to risk life, limb and monk fish battling dragons and demons, I'd do it. But the honest truth is, I don't want to, so stop freaking asking, Turael! I really wish there was some way to turn off that damned question (like the danger warnings), but I doubt there is. *sigh* Guess I gotta keep clicking "No" for the foreseeable future...

Made me lol. I thought the exact same thing when I went to Mazcha.

 

He was all like "o ur pretty strong, wanna talk to my girl kuradal?". No, idiot, if I did I would be over there right now.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you could use a higher level slayer master. I mean really, level 97 using Turael? Lowest level master... Honestly, you SHOULD try out Vannaka. At least use the guy in canifis please.

 

And honestly, if I had to train slayer through goblins and crawling hands, I'd find it tedious and boring too. I mean, demons and dragons aren't that hard anyways, at least the ones Vannaka would give. You ARE level 97. For crying out loud, your 3 levels away from being allowed to use Duradel. Vannaka really shouldn't be that hard for you.

 

And, here's another thing, if Vannaka REALLY gives you a task you don't want to do, you COULD always go to Turael for a new task anyways.

Isn't it more work to keep on having to return to Turael after completing each 900xp task?

He says that even if you use the get-task option?

Slayer sucks at the beginning levels, but if you trained it to even a half decent level (I'd say 60+) then you might start to like it. You get very good exp rates and a lot of money, along with semi-varied training. None of Vannaka's tasks are difficult, and few require more than maybe 1/2-1 invent of food or maybe a few prayer potions, which is well made up for in the exp gain and money made. So if you're going to give that up, I'd say you should have to hear that message every time.

ALWAYS use your highest slayer master (in your case, Sumona). There is absolutely no reason not to.

 

Higher slayer masters give better tasks, and more slayer points per task. Plus, it's Runescape. Sometimes you HAVE to do things you don't enjoy to get maximum benefits.

Yeah, if I trained slayer on crawling hands and cave slime and wolves and whatnot, I would hate it as well. Why not just take the damage boost from a black mask that Vannaka gives you against green dragons and lesser demons and stuff. That is where your level range of character trains normally right? At the very least, you get to see yourself hit bigger numbers against lesser demons simply because you can't 1-hit them like you do cave slime.

 

I mean, when I do greater demon tasks, I take a bunyip to do the task, and I can finish a task in 1 bunyip simply because I can kill like 80 of them before I even need to summon the bunyip. And they are about as boring as cave slime.

 

So it's not like you are risking anything by fighting junk Vannaka gives you. Maybe a few of Chaeldar's tasks might do that, but honestly, you get like harpy bugs every other task from her, and thats about the same thing as cave slime.

Wait, Vanakka gives you a Black mask? O_O

Faster points.

Forgot about the first 4 tasks after beating Smoking Kills. :wall:

 

But yea you get what I mean. I'm the type that wants to do the LEAST amount of tasks possible to get the rewards that I want from the slayer master.

Agreed with OP, and not just slayer masters, there are so many damn useless dialogue that you have to click through. For example, buying beer from bars, making strength potions at the apothecary, etc. And, you know what's worse? When you think the dialogue is over after you click "OK", so you click the NPC to start buy another beer, only to realize you gotta click "click here to continue", before the barmaid gives you the beer. :wall: #-o

And every task that doesn't end in a zero (IE: 20)

 

but srsly, 30 Turael tasks or 3 Vanakka, hmm

Guys, you really think this guy has done smoking kills? Pretty sure you need more then 35 slayer for it, for one thing. Also, Turael gives NO points.

 

Frankly, I can understand why you might be worried about a hard task; but seriously, Demons and Dragons aren't that hard. I mean, again, your almost at the level to use Duradel.

 

Now for some of my last post....

 

Vannaka's tasks shouldn't be that hard to begin with; and you STILL have the option of going to Turael if the task is TRULY troubling. Plus, slayer would be a lot more fun if you WEREN'T killing Goblins, crawling hands and cave slimes.

 

I agree that there's some unnecessary dialogue in RS, but at this point you SHOULD be using someone better then Turael.

If it's so boring and tedious, might as well eat a Wild Pie and go kill the Basilisk

Guys, you really think this guy has done smoking kills? Pretty sure you need more then 35 slayer for it, for one thing.

Smoking Kills requires 85 combat and 35 slayer. OP has 97 combat and 36 slayer.

 

Yea no reason not to do smoking kills at this point.

It's a pretty special, but jagex also hasn't accounted for players that are a high enough combat level, but a low slayer level... I am always told to go to kuradel but obviously can't yet =s

Wait, that's an option? Oh sweet, Wild Pie here I come!

Ok. Got me there; however, seeing as he still uses Turael.....eh...

That seems like a more reasonable complaint imo.

This thread made me lol. But I know the feeling, you have my sympathy.

Whenever i want fast XP i just get a cannon and go to the highest slayer master i can find.

But in this case, Turael doesn't give any points...

 

In respsonse to the original post, I'd say it's better to use a better slayer master. Taking an extra 2 seconds of dialogue really isn't much compared to the terribly slow experience Turael gives. You're much better off using a higher level master.

But as a general statement.

*facepalm*

 

You hate slayer...so you do the method that gives you the SLOWEST xp...meaning you'll be doing slayer LONGER then you would if you went to vannaka....

 

Makes perfect sense to me.

It's like this guy who only did c3's in dungeoneering, and refused to move up. He claimed anything above that was "too hard" for him, and that's why he said dg fails. :rolleyes:

 

Really, when you actually train a skill correctly, that's when you get the charm out of it. I hated rc at first, but as soon as I heard about the money it makes, as well as GOP, I trained it the best way and loved the skill. Same with just about any other skill.
