Slaykan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm assuming your working on getting slay helm cause if not you need to and unless you use the barrow sets for other things they are not really needed save for a few pieces, and whether or not you like BA then you could get a torso. Also rapier is a good item for longterm slay. Good Timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. There is dignity in suffering, nobility in pain, but failure is a salted wound, that burns over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthx Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 -Range apart from titan and cannon is useless in slayer. -Bandos doesn't hurt, though obviously the full set costs more than 20m. You should sell all of your barrows sets but karils for the occasional waterfiend task. -And does rapier count as not wasintg over 20m? That's pretty much it.

I bought them when they were cheap a long time ago or got from doing barrows. I do have slayer helm, I dont know why I put mask. I also despise the torso and dungeoneering but I do appreciate the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitterBug Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sarasword / Zammy spear are just nice weapons to have (if you have a large cash pile which it seems like you do) If you wanted to get the bandos right now - I'd probably sell a few of the bandos sets.Gunthans are pretty useless (especially because it makes your killing so much slower) so I'd probably sell that and maybe even the torag. I don't know if you want to waste your money on training skills but I'd start getting my summoning + herblore up more. Extremes (Supers even) actually speed up a task a lot - and you already have piety so it looks pretty good already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is by far my least favorite skill I know DG is pretty [cabbage]ty in the beginning.However, if you keep training it via penguin points/lamps/tears of gunthix - it becomes a LOT easier. It's one of the very few skills that has exponentially increasing exp rates (I'm exaggerating a little bit). Honestly, I hated DG solo but it unlocks some of the best stuff in the game.Chaotics, Scrolls of life/cleansing/renewal/rigor/augury, bonecrusher/herbicides are decent for some slayer tasks (doesn't really help all that much but can be a decent way to train without having to waste time burying bones and cleaning herbs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitterBug Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Additionally, I have no idea why SS is raising in price while most weapons/armors that aren't godswords have been dropping so much.I don't know much about the market of the SS - so I'm not sure if its false inflation or what, but 6 mil seems kind of high when whips are only 1.6 o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMC Mate Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I totally agree with LitterBug. I used to despise dungeoneering big time. I didn't even train it for 6 months after its release. However, I kept working on it from there on out and I now love it. If you keep at it, you will hit those higher floors and the higher xp rates. Really?

Oh, and I forgot about the saradomin sword. Obviously it's only useful at waterfiends (and even then the cmaul is better, though I realized you don't like dg), but it's super cheap so I figured why not.

Obtaurian Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Basic melee setup: Slayer helmFuryProselyte top Verac's skirt Zerker ring (you need to buy one of these)WhipD defenderBarrows glovesDragon boots Soul wars cape Upgrades you should look into for this setup are bcp and fire cape. Alternative gear that you'll need:Karil's top/bottomSara sword or ZS (go with sara sword, as you don't have extremes) You should start working towards extremes as soon as possible. Setup assumes that you're using piety, which you should be. I highly recommend that you get a bcp for the time being. otherwise your cashpile is just sitting there doing nothing. you can always sell the bcp back when you're done with it. btw, you should be very wary of any slayer advice you read on these forums. most people have no clue what they're talking about. i wish i had Enaid's slayer setup post saved somewhere. EDIT: You should get into dungeoneering and get rapier. It's a huge improvement over whip. EDIT2: Buy a cannon and use it for dags, spectres, and mutated velds. I'd say use it on other stuff, too, but those are the important ones. You save money by cannoning those tasks. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

LitterBug Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Quyneax has been around here a lot and has answered a lot of these type of questions. I asked this a while back, and he came up with a whole list of things:http://forum.tip.it/topic/287448-preparation-for-slayer/page__p__4724282#entry4724282(Look at about 5 posts down) Like everybody said, DG is extremely important.I remember training at DG level <30 was horrible. If I were you, I would just keep up whatever I was doing now, and grab penguin points/tears of gunthix/lamps or whatever you can get your hands on and just pour it into DG. Try training it around level 30 or so, (a little later if you can stand to wait it).Apparently, after you get your first chaotic, every other chaotic you get after is a TON faster. I noticed a pretty nice increase in exp/hour but I'm not even close to lvl 80 :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Here's Quyneax/Enaid's post, to save you the trouble. Thanks Litterbug. And Enaid is a she. ;) Ignore foursideking's advice, it's ridiculous. Aeil knows his stuff though :). 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 3Barrows gloves (your best rfd gloves, at least rune)Dragon boots (rune boots)Amulet of fury (glory)Dragon defender (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 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 chimesCannon (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, black dragon, lesser demon, hellhound, bloodveld and abberant 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 - bunyip81 dungeoneering (you need 2 million xp, which takes you to level 80, but allowing some tokens for the scroll of life) - rapier89 herblore (85 with a +4 stew boost) - extreme potions, superantifires95 prayer - turmoil and soul split88 summoning - unicorn96 herblore (91 with a +5 stew boost) - overload99 summoning - steel titanI'm sure I missed something but this is most of it. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purekilljoy Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 You rarely have any use for barrows items except karils for waterfiends, ahrims (if u mage slayer tasks - which u shouldnt) and veracs bottom. You should be pietying all tasks, so prossy top and veracs skirt renders pretty much all other gear useless. And yea, keep up DNG, i just started last week, the first .... -40 lvls were absolutely horrible. Now I'm getting the hang of it, and it is getting better.

SirIzenhime Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I know it's a ways away for OP, but magic isn't useless for slayer. It's the best option for Ice StrykesMagic has very comparable DPS to melee on Steel and Iron dragons (unless you have a rapier or Zspear, which also assumes super antis) if your magic level is comparable to your melee. Range is useless though for slayer (other then a cannon, and Geyser/steel titan), I only range slayed because I liked slayer enough to do it :P Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that for OP at 79 mage and 56 herbing he should not be mageing anyhow. My mage is too low to be effective as well. As far as ranged goes, cannoning black demons and using knives+eagle eye is the quickest xp possible. And if u have access to kuradals dung then using rune darts/knives on greater demons is comparable to melee stats (assuming you're not usin extremes). Why would we get into discussing that at all? :D Like I said- at OP's lvls he doesn't need ahrims, torags, guthans :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
