Getting 99 summon/slayer

[Iamfarming]

Hey guys, I was wondering whether if would be better to barrage rock lobsters to get 99 summon rather than slay for the charms. I plan on getting 99 slayer anyways but I was wondering whether or not 99 summoning would speed up the xp/h on slayer to the point where it would be more efficient to get 99 summoning first.

 

Sorry if that was a bit confusing but basically does 99 summoning significantly speed up your slayer xp/h. Or would I be better off just getting the charms from slayer and get 99 slayer + summoning simultaneously.

 

Thanks guys!

Since you are 99 magic, I'd say no it isn't. It is however worth doing Bork and triple charms to get your summoning ahead.

96 Summoning makes tasks like dragons, wyverns and demons much faster(assuming no urns/crusher and you don't want to waste the drops). Besides that, summoning does not really have much affect on slayer since you already have the level for soulsplit.

1 more prayer level for turmoiling every task(it's about 8 ppots for most tasks in proselyte) is much much faster, though.

 

EDIT: Just realized i did not really directly answer the question, so just slay and boost up summoning in chunks whenever you can unlock a new useful familiar, which for you would be...lvl 83 for mining and faster training, 85 for faster training, 88 for obvious reasons, 91 n 93 for effigies, 95 and 96 for bad ass familiars, and then finish. Granted some or all of those numbers may be wrong because my memory is generaly horrible.

89 is quite a decent milestone, too. Geysers are good on multicombat tasks

My linkMaybe burst to 88 for uni ? then slay the rest? All you really need for slayer...Unless you have the patience for 96 ;p

I would do slayer first. As for yakking bones, that won't be needed if you use a bonecrusher, which I find much easier. The only reason to bank them would be if you have money troubles (which you may not have if you are considering barraging lobsters).

 

Also I recommend doing the triple charm thing for waterfiend tasks, when possible of course

No, Uni is in no way needed for Slayer... Geyser is way more useful for Slayer.

In my experience, the helpful summoning levels for slayer are:

 

88 for Unicorn Stallion, though with soul split, this might be unnecessary.

89 for Geyser Titan. I was only 88 Slayer when I got 99 Slayer, so I never got to use this, but it's a good fighting familiar that gives Range experience.

96 for Pak-Yak. Although to be honest, a fighting familar is better. This is only useful for Metal Dragons really.

99 for Steel Titan. Like the Geyser Titan, a good fighting familar that gives Range experience.

 

Obviously getting higher summoning makes slayer faster, however, you can manage with your current level. Just gain these levels when you've got enough charms and for now, try using:

 

Bunyip- Healing Familar, you can choose to go without it using soul split.

War Tortoise- Only useful on a few tasks where you need more supplies. Such as Dark Beasts.

Hydra- Since it gives Range experience, which is normally a bit slower than melee experience, since you basically want to melee all the time. Except Nechryaels if you choose to chin. Most of the experience comes from your cannon.

 

Note: Some people may suggest a fruit bat for healing but don't, it's a slow process and will take time away from getting kills. You can do virtually every task with a Bunyip and be fine for hp.

The above is why Uni is not worth it for slayer. Also, you forgot 95 for Iron Titan and 93/94/95 for Wolper.

Well. Uni is useful for slayer, just not necessary. It's also cheaper than getting the prayer level for soul-split (maybe not in the long run, since you do save a bit money/time over using piety).

 

Iron Titan and Wolpertinger are useful, however, I'd much prefer gaining Range experience from a fighter.

[JPMC Mate]

That is true too. However, I honestly wouldn't stop at 88 summoning and just go to 89 for Geyser.

Hm alright thanks guys. I'm currently getting 99 prayer, only a few more frost bones to use so turm will be used all the time. So it seems the general consensus is to get 99 summon by collecting charms from slayer, sounds good (maybe just barrage to 89 or so?) :) Thanks for the help so far!

 

Also, from an efficiency standpoint, it's not worth picking up golds/greens correct?

On most tasks, you can pick up charms without losing time, also just a note: I picked up every charm getting to 99 Slayer and only have enough charms for about 97, so I'd probably pick up greens/golds, since the alternative is exp past 99, which is pointless to me currently.

Hm alright, that sounds good. I hate leaving charms on the ground anyways so that's more reason to pick them all up haha. Thanks!
