Recommendations for Slayer Gear/Equipment

[Leoo]

I'm planning to start training Slayer again. My melee combats range from 76-79 (I've neglected combat for a while) and my Slayer level is 74. I'm looking for equipment that will speed up training and experience rates. I have 60m to spend.

 

Thanks in advance,

Leoo

What's your current set up look like? Your optimum set up would be

7Bandos Tassets/veracs skirt

5Fury

4Berserker Ring

3Dragon Boots

*Barrows Gloves

*Fire Cape

2Whip

 

Provided you already have extremes and turmoil. The numbers are priorites, so if you can afford extremes or turmoil by selling gear sell the lowest ranked piece first and so forth. Personally I would never sell anything but bandos which is why I included the pieces you would replace them with if you sold them. Obviously upgrade your whip to a chaotic rapier once you hit 80 attack and can stand dging.

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.

1) Make 10 long posts.

2) Plaster them all over H&A

3) People copy them

???

Profit!

 

60m will get you extremes, I'd recommend getting that and a berserker ring if you don't have one already.
