Slayer Gear/ Smoking Kills

[Derrick44444]

Just got done questin my ass off to get to 176 qp to finish up RFD to get the barrows gloves. And another quest to get proselyte armor. Any other gear you guys could think of that would help me with slayer. Also do the slayer rewards apply only to Kuradel. Which requires 75 slay and i'm twenty levels shy of that and would rather start on tasks than do another quest atm. Thanks..

slayer rrewards are all of the masters

 

infact the rewards were out before kuradal was released

 

 

the armour i used

 

pros

v skirt (praying due every task)

bcp (sometimes)

and range armour, d hide is good enough imo

 

cannon helps alot too,

 

piety if you havnt got piety get piety

 

dragon defender

 

all i can think of thats what you really need, i believe it what i used for 99 slayer

[Derrick44444]

I'm 9 levels shy of piety. I got the Drag Defender. Whats bcp? I need to level up summoning to bunyip for when I get deeper into it. I'll buy a verac's skirt once i get a little bit more cash around. Hoping MTK will help that a little bit. Same with the cannon, heard it helps burn threw tasks quickly. Tried slayer after i got back from a long break, hence why i hadn't a clue about the rewards. Barely gotten into it and already gotten one effigy drop from a short bronze drag task.

edit- Dang: to late;P

 

Slayer gear: Bandos plate and tassets, verac skirt, full slayer helm (obviously), fury/glory, dragon boots, whip/rapier.

 

Slayer rewards apply to all masters. You won't get points for your first five tasks after smoking kills though.

 

Also: raising summoning is extremely usefull if your serious about slayer. Bunyip helps a lot, if you get to unicorn you dont need food anymore...

Raising your prayer to 70 helps a lot as well, pray piety at all tasks. Use super sets and if you ever get a high herb lvl, extreme potions will help even more.

 

Fire cape or soul wars cape are great capes to aim for.

 

 

BCP: bandos chest plate

[brunokiller]

Piety should be your priority.

 

Extremes/turmoil when you have enough money from slayer

 

Expensive equipment such as bandos/fury when you have the above and are left with enough money.

[Derrick44444]

What level can i start to expect to make some decent money slaying?

[Nifflin]

85+ is decent, but really slayer has become a kind of bad moneymaker compared to other ones at least. Sorry to disappoint you.

[Derrick44444]

No disappointment here... i'm sure its better than whatever else i randomly decide to do when i log on

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, +10 prayer bonus or above is good, but don't overdo it (anything above +20 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, blue dragon, 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.
