When to start Slayer

Featured Replies

So at what point would people recommend to start doing Slayer in order to capture the combat XP that you get while doing Slayer missions?

 

My current combat skills are 20 ATK/ 25 STR/ 23 DEF / 24 CON. Combat lvl is 28 and total is 174.

 

Thanks guys!

I'd say start at 40 in your melee stats, when you've got a bit of cash to use on a black mask and some other necessities. You could probably start now if you wanted to though.

Can you explain what you mean by the black mask and other necessities? (obviously I'll look up what the black mask does but what are the other items considered necessities?)

That is a good slayer guide, it recommends 60 attack and strength with a dragon scimitar before you start slayer.

 

Personally I would recommend 70 attack, strength and defence (unless you are a pure of course) as well as 70 prayer and piety unlocked.

I also think Slayer's a great way to max out your combat skills to 99, but I agree that you might need a little higher stats to start off.

Yeah no where close to being able to afford a Black Mask right now.

Fantastic guide. Thanks for the link. Incidentally, the 60 ATK/STR and DS are the bare min according to guide. what he actually recommends is a little closer to what you you recommended.
