Slayer Gear


Assassin1357

Recommended Posts

I have:

barrows sets minus torag, dharok, and parts of ahrim and karils

fury

whip

d defenders

d boots

soul wars cape

Slayer Helm

 

 

Is there anything else that would be useful that I either forgot to mention or dont have? I have 62m to spend but Id rather not spend more than 15-20m. I was thinking sara sword at least. Any suggestions for range gear?

Do you really need all of the barrows sets?

Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

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.

-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 didnt say I had all of them, just that I had sets. I have ahrims, karils, guthans, and veracs. 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.

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.

I do use cannon occasionally when I need it. I was considering bandos. I use most of the barrows sets every now and then and I paid basically nothing for them, got a lot of them from drops or when they crashed last summer. The one thing is, I HATE dungeoneering. It is by far my least favorite skill

Thanks for the info. I have some charms so I might throw some money towards that. I really only keep the guthans for those random monsters that may need it or for dag kings, plus its not worth a whole now

With the EE, the SGS isn't needed.

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)

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

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.

Don't worry. EE, prayer, and bunyip cover all your healing needs.

 

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.

Basic melee setup:

 

Slayer helm

Fury

Proselyte top

Verac's skirt

Zerker ring (you need to buy one of these)

Whip

D defender

Barrows gloves

Dragon 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/bottom

Sara 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.

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 :(.

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 3
  • Barrows 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 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, 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 - 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.

Just please.. Don't. Get. A sgs

 

It is so much garbage.

 

Also guthans sucks. Alot

It's great you know what you're talking about rustiod. Everything you've said is 100% accurate a true.

 

That being said...your a [bleep]ing [bleep] douchebag, and none of your advice will ever (or should ever) be taken seriously because of it.

disregard good advice because the giver is a douche

 

THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON

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.

OP: Since you are able to afford some good slayer gear, here is what I suggest.

Bandos Tassets

Fighter Torso

Fire Cape/SW Cape

Whip

D Defender

D boots

B Gloves

Zerker Ring

Fury

I know it's a ways away for OP, but magic isn't useless for slayer.

 

It's the best option for Ice Strykes

Magic 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

I never said magic is useless. 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
