which should i buy

[iLootChests]

Well santa brought me a draconic visage this mourning after i went thro 15 wyverns for a task, so i have a 23.5m cash pile

 

 

so i was wondering, should i buy guthans and a bgs

 

or wait till i can buy tassys

 

or guthans and 70 prayer

 

or 70 prayer and a bgs

 

 

or if u have any other ideas they are welcome

 

i dont do boss hunting all that often so im not sure if 70 pray is needed, and tassys might be nice since i enjoy slayer so state your opinions

Buy a guthan's set or verac's skirt and obtain a torso. Get your prayer up so you can use the piety prayer. Put the rest into herblore.

 

Really use this money for getting a good armor set and character improvement. BGS isn't going to be as useful to you in comparison to a good armor set and good herb/pray stats. Prayer is still important even if you don't boss hunt, but maybe not as important as unlocking extremes. Dunno there.

got a torso 2 days ago, and only pray for dragons, so verac isnt needed and not a fan of herblore, i get it up only by lamps =P

Yes but you say you're into slayer, so extremes should be a far off goal for you :P It really does help out. And the reason why I say verac is not because of prayer, but because of the better defense versus Guthan Chainskirt. Plus, the higher level you get, the better slayer master you'll use. And the better slayer master, the more you'll probably need to pray on common tasks. Verac's is a better item overall and a good investment for your future. You already have a bunyip, so guthan's healing set bonus won't be as useful for you.

Whatever you do, don't buy a godsword. Whips are much better for slaying, and there are many better uses for your money. Guthans is basically obsolete with bunyips and Enhanced Excalibur - invest in training some skills if you can't use either. I would personally spend it on herblore, but if you really don't want to, 70 prayer and some decent barrows top and legs are good things to buy :thumbup:

bought 70 pray for 7.5m and going to buy verac skirt, going to still have a nice cash pile, thanks for the advice

[eyeye]

Guthans at your slayer and defense levels will be useful, but not necessary on most tasks, though i've had my set since.... 2008

 

70 prayer, use the rest of the money to get some misc. skills up

[iLootChests]

yea i figured since im 80 def, have bunyip and super set almost all tasks, it wasnt needed to get guthans

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)
  
• Dragon 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 elite void skirt (black dragonhide body and chaps)
  
• [Crush attacks to use on waterfiends] Chaotic maul (Saradomin sword, Zamorakian spear)
  
• [stab attacks for higher-levelled dragons, when not using rapier] Korasi's sword (Zamorakian spear, 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

So for your personal situation, that'd probably mean 70 prayer, verac's skirt, fsh, ss or perhaps fury if you make some more money.
