guthans for slayer?

Featured Replies

so im 80 slayer, and i see some guides that use guthans on some slayer tasks. is it worth it instead of food, and on what tasks would it be useful?

You are over 68 summoning, so no

this is not 2005

you have 73 summoning so you can summon a bunyip, there is no need for guthan

With the introduction of bunyips, and variations of the Excalibur, guthans is very out dated. Only use if you dont have either 68 summoning and or Enhanced excalibur.

As stated any of the following are better than guthans

 

Bunyip

EE or EEE

Soul Split

Unicorn

 

If you have any of those sell your guthans. If selling your guthans would get you any of those sell it.

Guthans (and any barrows armor...really) is only useful if the task makes more gp than the decay rate. Sure, you can use it, but nowadays, with so many easy tasks/easier armors/1 inv space healers, you're better off just saving it for questing...

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

None. This kid has been trolling and giving bad advice over the past few days. And ALL tasks make 250k over the course of 15 hours. Do not listen to him. I think he hasn't played in a few years.

Only real use for guthans is if you are guthan/ranging the fight caves. Outside of that, EEE(or even the EE), bunyip/unicorn, and SS flashing are far better healing methods.

Unless you plan to be a Guthans tank at Bandos with a team (like me cause my clan is lazy at time :|) sell it for bunyip

I only actually used guthans once, and that was to finish off the bosses in dream mentor....and even then, I found it to be a waste seeing as the 250k repair cost doesn't seem worth 15hours of...well...anything. Then again, maybe I'm living in the old runescape, where people bounced ideas, shared when they could, and were generally nice most of the time...

Dream Mentor shouldn't have taken you 15 hours to complete.

 

And before bunyip, yes guthans was worth it.

If you want to bounce idea's we have a general discussion section in these forums...

 

We aren't being mean, we're just telling people not to follow your advice because it's not good. Spend some time researching the best ways to do things so that the advice you have to give is a little more useful.

 

On topic, sell guthans now if you haven't. Prices aren't going to go higher once free trade comes back. Probably the opposite.

Trolling by giving good advice since April 2011.

Just buy a high defense Armour and use eee / bunyip to heal. The only use of guthan's I can imagine is maybe for MEP2...

BTW if you do have a barrows armour set, never think about the degrading cost, it is negligible

Hell no, Guthan's isn't needed for slayer. Just a bunyip should suffice, or bring along an enhanced excalibur too, and you shouldn't have much problems with managing your health. You could always bring a few fish along if you need even more healing. Guthan's is outdated, there are much better ways to heal nowadays.

Pre bunyip, ee and soul split, it's nice to have,

However, for most slayer tasks, I'm pretty sure taking a few B2P tabs would overall be more efficient then switching your helm and spear (getting slower kills when you do this, + the extra degrading costs, while small, it is still there)

 

I used to slay with guthans until I got a bunyip way back, then I never needed it.

The only task I ever use guthans on is Nechs, this can usually be avoided by using a more defensive setup however, and that's the reason while I currently don't have guthans.
