Range slayer questions


Octarine

Recommended Posts

So, after maxing melees through slayer, I want to do the same for range. Really dont like the idea of chinning/camping anywhere and I like the variety of slayer too.

 

Obviously I cannon every task possible, and ex range pot too. Working on CCB asap before I seriously get into it

 

So a few questions:

-Are curses better to be on or standards? OR is it better to switch depending on certain tasks (I dont have rigour)

-Are there any tasks I really should always cancel or block on kuradels list?

 

I'l be unblocking aquanites (yes it was stupid to unlock them in the first place) and giving them a try again.. probably. Though doubt they'll be that great really.

Basically I'm just looking for any little tips that could help a lot :)

Don't unblock aquanites. Use rune knives with a cannon in kuradels dungeon for as many tasks as possible. Nechs are worth chinning. Standard prayers are better for rigour/eagle eye.

 

Tasks that are high defense like mith drags should be canceled/blocked if you refuse to melee them. However because you are maxed melee miths and the like will go relatively fast so I would say melee them for a change of pace from range slaying.

Don't get ccbow, don't do waterfiends, use steel titan + cannon. Multicombat tasks & low defence tasks are your friends.

I should add that I'd be getting ccbow anyway for armadyl and such (and perhaps nex in the long run) so would that make a significant difference to make the high defence task nicer or not?

I'd be fairly partial to just mage/rapier through the metals tasks though for the speed and ease of it.

 

I've found in the past rune darting greaters/hellhounds in kuras went amazingly well (though perhaps itd still be better to cannon hhs)

Are there any other tasks that rune darting/kniving works especially well on? Blue drags/Abby demons spring to mind but I cant be sure

 

wfs are already blocked due to 99 summon, and im very glad you suggest not to unblock aquanites :P

Well if you have a ccbow you probably wouldn't be using it overly much anyway, for slayer. All you could do with it would be mithril dragons. For steels, I think arma + kxbow + fero is still superior.
