Doing Slayer, need advice on supplies (15m)

[Dangarous]

Okay, here are my stats as of right now:

 

 

Here's what I currently have:

 

 

My question is, what items should I invest in (besides what I have obviously) to help me along my way training slayer? Any help would be greatly appreciated... thank you everyone!! Gimme any suggestions

[Lose No Hope]

Some are:

-Full Slayer Helm

-Verac Skirt w/ torag/dh platebody and prossy platebody

-Barrows Gloves

-SW cape and/or Fire cape

 

Edit: Do smoking kills ASAP to get slayer points. After you save enough points, buy the ability to make a slayer helm. Until then, use a black mask.

[Vex]

Sell your Dharok's

Buy 70 Prayer.

Unlock Piety via King's Random quest

Buy Prayer pots (which are Extremely low atm)

Wear Proselyte Top & Verac skirt & Dragon Defender for all tasks.

Try to unlock Super-antifires and extremes for Herblore sooner rather than later due to current prices.

 

Piety all tasks & slay, for now you don't really need a cannon as long as you Piety. This will speed up your tasks by 20-25% which will generate a lot more profit & charms at very little cost.

[aspeeder]

The hell are you doing with 99 str and attack wearing dragon gloves? Idc if you hate questing, that's just depressing. Also try and do some tears and pengs to level up dung to ~50 to work towards a rapier; and work on getting farm up to do herb runs for extra cash.

[Helm_Lardar]

1. Get Barrows gloves. Even I have them.

2. Get 70 prayer, for piety and an enhanced excalibur. You'll have to level some non-combat skills too, like fletching and fishing.

[LitterBug]

With his stats, he can go through most if not all of his slayer tasks without banking with just a bunyip.

I don't have an EEE so I can't say it's not helpful - but a bunyip more or less satisfies all my healing need and if not, the handful of monkfishes I bring along can cover it.

[TDC]

First off i would sell the dharoks, should get you another 6.8mill if sold at mid.

 

Then buy 1,263 (7,373,394gp)dragon bones to add to the 236 d bones you already have. This should get you exactly 70 prayer for pity.

 

This should leave you with 14.4mill. Invest it into summ and herb.

 

If your going for herb try and train your dung up to 60ish for a Scroll of cleansing (20k tokens iirc). it will save you millions on the way to overloads

 

When your slaying remember to pick up every charm as 68 summ for a bunny. Means that i dont have to use food on most the easier slayer tasks

[Dangarous]

Thanks for all the advice, I actually spent about 9M on Infernal Ashes and am currently 67 Prayer, going to be 70 before I log off... so I took that advice thanks! Anything else would be appreciated too..

[Golvellius]

Just get a slayer helm or black mask and some super attack/strength pots and your ready to go.

Don't throw millions of gp at a skill that makes you money if done properly.

[JPMC Mate]

Use Prayer Potions as they are very cheap atm. 200 should last you a while.

With the rest of your $, get:

FSH Items for later when you make FSH

Glory

Fire Cape

Whip

D Defender

Prosy Top

V Skirt

Zerker Ring

D Boots

Barrows Gloves

[Quyneax]

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, 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
  

I'm sure I missed something but this is most of it.

I don't use it.

But can do it however you please, but it seems silly to me to have to go out of your way to make money just to do slayer which for most people is a fun skill that makes money.

Nah, I'm giving he my usual horrible advice: Have fun while playing runescape it's not a job. :rolleyes:

Adding to golvellius's advice, be sure to brew down your stats so you have more fun :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Whatever floats your boat.

I never use sara brews for that reason though. :thumbup:

But not brewing down is only for efficiency clowns that want to maximize exp per hour!

Have you become an efficiency clown?

Define properly pl0x.

 

Herb runs between slayer tasks guarantees that you are making money even while using piety/turmoil with zero prayer bonus. Not to mention herb runs are fun! ;)

Using piety generates MORE profit from more kills per hour. Also, it is MORE FUN, because you kill stuff faster and hit HIGHER.

WIN/WIN/WIN

From what I've seen, you are no better.

 

Invest your slayer points (after smoking kills quest obviously) on Slayer helm, then Slayer rings. Save some points to block tasks you don't like.

Can you get a ban? - I know your alter ego did, and it's time the mods stop the trolling here.

 

 

If someone doesn't share your opinion on fun doesn't make you have to abuse him.

im no better because the stuff i post is actually CORRECt advice? not total ignorant bull [cabbage]. okay nice logic.

wadebling is not bladewing.

 

also there's a difference between trolling and sarcasm to prove a point. people suggesting to do things on help and advice in an inefficent way is like. i dont even need a simile, its just plain stupid. if someone is looking for advice they deserve the best and most correct advice on what is best to do, not some ignorant bull [cabbage].

 

 

also we dont, or at least i dont bash peoples opinion of fun. i bash there opinion of doing things slower to be the better way to do it. "hey lets sit at a computer for twice as long as the other guy and accomplish half of what he does!!!" okay. if someone really finds doing stuff slowly fun, then okay. but if they go around telling people its the RIGHT thing to do then there is something wrong.

Thanks for turning my thread into a flame war guys... and how is Full Guthans useless??

Lowers dps, and is fairly inconsistent. The constant healing of summons seems to be a better choice (and does not reduce dps). Additionally, the money from selling could be used for something else...
