Slayer help

[Golf]

hello all my names Golf67 and I'm looking for some help here.

 

I'm currently working on getting a higher slayer level but I've been told my armor isn't sufficient enough which i'm sure its not but thats why i'm here haha.

 

I was curious if you guys could give me some tips to getting decent armor and supplies for slayer. I do try to cannon as much as possible to help get my ranged level up a little bit. I'm currently working on getting the curses so hopefully that will help me out a little bit. Also if you have some suggestions for making some money to help pay for better armor i'm open ears for helpful suggestions :) I currently have 12mill in the bank if that means anything to ya haha

 

heres my current stats:

 

heres my current outfit:

 

Thanks in advance for the help :) Also if this is in wrong spot please move :P

I would sell the dragon armor and buy torags and karils, and put the rest torwards an amulet of fury, and you should do RFD for the barrows gloves.

[Golf]

Like full torag and kairls or just parts? and whats RFD? :o

[Tenebri]

dragon armour = waste dfs = waste d defender is better

 

sell drag armour

 

v skirt is good if you piety (which you should do, no reason not too)

 

v skirt + pros for the cheap way, 99 def + buny you wont neen much def bonus, that will be enough, espeicaly as piety gives 25% more def

 

if you can get

 

after that get fury is you can

 

fury before bcp

 

so now you have

 

v skirt - pros top - fury

 

then after that

 

v skirt - bcp - fury

 

all that with d defender obviously + d boots barrows gloves

 

 

edit:

 

Like full torag and kairls or just parts? and whats RFD? :o

 

no affence but your max melee 2k+ total and dont know what recipe for disaster is, in my eyes i would ask the question of did you buy that account?)

 

 

[Nifflin]

Sure it will work, but you can make the following upgrades.

 

Sell DFS and use a dragon defender. Get a rapier. Get a zerker ring. Get a fury. Use veracs skirt and guthans top. Upgrade those to bandos top and bottom when you can. Use a soul wars cape. Peity/turm everything, prayer potions are super cheap.

 

Don't argue about selling DFS by the way, just sell it and swap it for zerker, fury, veracs and guthans.

 

Stew to get extreme attacks and extreme strengths if you aren't already. Also make and use some super antifires.

 

Edit: Oh yes, barrows gloves are also very important.

[brad1431]

I think that is too much information, it would take forever to get a rapier, and all that other extra advice, for right now, RFD is recipe for disaster quest and gives good rewards including gloves that very good.

 

Sell the dragon armor and get torags chest and legs, helm you should be using slayer helm for.

 

With the leftover cash save it until you can afford a fury. The other advice is much longer term.

dfs = fury

 

so he can sell dfs for fury

 

and have money left for v skirt + a fair few p pots for piety

 

so not really further information he can do baysicaly most thats needed

 

as i did that for 99 slayer (except had bcp) and 20m doesnt take long to get in slayer

[Kata_Phfract__the_slayer]

most of your setup is good, just swap your gloves, legs, body and shield.

 

when slaying, attack stats are more important then defence.

[Golf]

Thanks all for the help, I gotta do a quest to use piety. Are the curses worth getting? or should i just stick with piety?

[SpikeStr1ke]

I wouldnt really worry with curses until your 95 prayer. The quest is a pain in the butt and there really isnt any useful curses until 92 (Soul Split) and 95 (Turmoil).

[Nifflin]

Take my advice about a rapier seriously. It is the best investment I have ever made in Runescape.

[brad1431]

stick with piety.

 

A rapier is like a million miles from where you are right now, that might be a LOOOOOOONG term goal, but not for the level of question he is asking.

[Nomrombom]

I have to agree with an above poster. Your total is over 2K, yet you don't know what RFD is? You obviously have plenty of money and have done somewhat advanced quests (Smoking Kills). Did you buy that account?

[Nifflin]

Here is why you should get a rapier;

 

A) You will get your dungoneering up which will make it easier to get more chaotics or other dungoneering rewards in the future

B) You can farm herbs while doing dungoneering making a ton of money for other toys (bandos armor that you need)

C) You might actually discover you like dungoneering

D) You will then be able to do all melee combat better, bossing, slayer, everything

E) If you ever decide to get a rapier later, you will have wasted the time you could have saved by getting it sooner

F) It takes two weeks straight of dungoneering or a month of casual dungoneering mixed with other activities, that is much less then a lot of other goals and not very long term

 

Brad is mad because I alluded to his being illiterate on another thread. He also does not have a rapier. I do.

 

Edit: Nomwhatever hasn't a rapier either. I dunno why he is posting to accuse you.

[Golf]

No i did not buy the account i've had it for a very long time I just don't get much time to play cause of school and work and i just recently got back into the game.....

 

 

On the other hand i've tried dunguneering and i don't like it at all.....it takes forever to do and is very annoying in my opinion but if you guys know some fun easy ways of doing it i'm all ears :)

[Obtaurian]

Please disregard anyone saying anything about buying Torag's or keeping your dragon armor. Follow the powerslaying sections of this guide:

 

http://forum.tip.it/topic/262065-complete-slayer-guide/

 

Prayer potions and cannonballs are incredibly cheap right now. That combined with slayer profits being the highest they've been in god-knows-how-long makes powerslaying the obvious choice for ALL players. There is absolutely no reason not to do it.

 

And you should look into dungeoneering, of course. Most people fall in love with the skill just after they get their first chaotic weapon (for you it would be a rapier), and it's well worth the time and effort.

[Nifflin]

Well, I can certainly agree that it is a crappy skill early on. I know, I was there. Slow exp rates, [cabbage]ty teams, I know.

 

But once you get to level 60-70 (70 is better) you can check out the Tip.It clan DGS that helps teach people how do dungoneer like pros and get amazing exp rates. It's just a really cool, dynamic skill in general and though you may not like it now, I know a lot of people who have said then then fallen in love with the skill.

 

http://forum.tip.it/topic/288181-dungeonsweepers-dgs-a-dungeoneering-clan-for-tipiters/

 

There's a link to the thread, hope to see you around.

 

As for getting to 70 dungoneering, I suggest you use all your exp rewards on it (lamps, pengs) while doing c6 solo meds. This will help you get accustomed to the skill and help you cope with the steep learning curve once you get to 70.

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.

 

In your case that means sell the dfs and dragon armour, get fury, berserker ring, Verac's skirt, proselyte top, and finish RFD for the gloves.

[Th e Doctor]

stick with piety until you can afford turmoil.

 

A rapier is like a million miles from where you are right now, that might be a LOOOOOOONG term goal, but not for the level of question he is asking.

 

Fix'd

 

Conservatively placing money making at 1 mil an hour (easily atainable with green dragons at his stats) it would take 20 hours of money making for a fury+berserker. Any good dging will get you from 50 to 81 in ~15 hours, 20-25 if you suck. Considering you wont ever sell the rapier because its amazing, and the other rewards you pick up along the well (scroll of life, scroll of cleansing, gem bag, resource dungeons) its far more worthwhile to get a rapier than it is fury and a berserker ring, both of which are considered BASIC slayer gear.

 

Edit

 

Swap your cape out for an ardy cape (3) or a fire cape or a soul wars cape. Nifflin covered the rest pretty well.

If you think someone is breaking rules, report them.

[Dex]

Obt is right, don't bother with torag or dragon armour. Defense bonuses aren't necessary for slayer. The rest you can follow off what Quy said.

 

A chaotic rapier will speed up your slayer training much mofre then turmoil. Turmoil has less boost then piety for tasks like aqanties, wfs and spiritual mages. For turmoil to be faster then piety at wfs, you will need 95 summoning so you can kill them efficiently in the chaos tunnel.

 

In regards to buying orders, if you are only planning to slay - bcp > fury > tasset. Bcp is 20mil, and +4 str, fury is like 12mil with +2 over glory, you can do the math. BCP has a lower cost per str bonus. Of course this assumes you don't have torso. If you do then fury > bcp >tasset.

That's a fairly generous and optimistic estimate for the time required to get a rapier. It will be more in line with 40 hours, your 2nd and onwards chaotics will be exponentially faster. The reason is twofold, 1. the experience rate (per floor) for dungeoneering increases if you level up; 2. You will get better at dungeoneering as you level up. But don't let that put you off, even if you do it in little chunks (like 1-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-75 then finally to 80), it should be a goal if you intend on slaying. In the mean time, a whip will more than suffice.
