slayer equipment upgrades

[Shady Character]

I want to start off by saying I really wish Jagex would make up their minds about how they want their combat system to work, I am failing to keep up with the constant changes.

 

I've decided to get back into slayer and was wondering if people here could offer some advice. When I Slay I normally just attack with whatever the monster is weakest too and have been using Gano, Karils, and Veracs. I currently have the option of creating my own Sea Singer and Tetsu armour or selling it and upgrading my current gear.

 

As far as weapons go I use a SoL for mage, crystal bow or Handcannon for mage, and my trusty ol whipvine and eee for melee. I could probably afford a Drygore or two but don't know if they seem to be worth it any more since this last update. I don't really know what I should upgrade my mage and range weapons to.

 

Also if anyone could suggest which task are now worth blocking it would be appreciated.

In fact all and any advice to the above will be extremely well received. Thank you :)

Drygore weapons are infinitely better than a whip vine. At least upgrade to a main-hand chaotic claw if you don't want to shell out the cash for a Drygore Mace.

It's easier to tell you what upgrades you make if we know how much cash you're willing to put into it. In the mean time make sure you have a saradomin whisper, murmur, and an arc stream for your necklace slot. Get at least a 6th age circuit for your ring or the individual MA rings for melee, range and mage.

 

For weapons don't be too concerned with drygores not being worth it. I have dual maces and there isn't a single task besides aviansies (for obvious reasons) that you can't still drygore through. Waterfiends are the only task that I've noticed any decrease in kph.

 

For armor GWD armor are your only upgrades. Make superior ports sets if you feel like it, they can be a pain to get the trade goods for again so you may regret spending them on the tradeable versions.

Thanks guys for the replies so far. :)

 

I've got around 100m I could spend on this endevour, more if i make tradeable ports. sixth age circuit I have, along with arc stream. I can buy murm and whisp but I thought they were not all that much better than fury?

Chaotics are currently out of the question since I've only got like 40k tokens and really don't feel like doing dung (besides might as well get the best I can). Also, would be mixing up Drygores (eg. mhr and ohm) a feasible option in order to cover say stab and crush tasks?

 

I was just wondering what would be the best cape and glove/boots to wear (currently have gano, bandos, and Spined boots with barrows gloves xd). Also how does DW mage look for slayer? or should i stick with getting an ABS here?

(and on a side note is QBD easy enough to get to the fourth stage for the Royal Crossbow for someone who has no experience Bossing at all in EoC?)

 

thanks for bearing with me here :)

I'm not sure since the update but generally any drygore main hand combined with ee is very good for anything you'd want to melee. Off-hands didn't affect accuracy before the update, not sure if that was fixed, but I think ee is still good - your off-hand probably doesn't count for the style you are using either (it doesn't for abilities, e.g. range offhand can't use ranged abilities if your mh is not ranged).

 

Yes, QBD is easy enough, harder than she was pre-update though.

You're only 60 k tokens from getting a chaotic claw mainhand and ee/eee is better than all of the chaotic offhands so it wouldn't be more than a day of DG. That being said if you're willing to spend the money on drygores save your tokens for something else. I would use an ee/eee for your offhand and get the cheapest drygore mainhand you can, there won't be anything you can't melee with the exception of polypore tasks. I personally got the main hand mace because of the +9 prayer bonus. Don't worry about stab/crush/slash weaknesses.

For capes you're going to want to get the mage arena cape for mage, fire/kiln cape for melee, ava's alerter for range. For boots gano is fine for everything, if you've got extra cash burning in your pocked get bandos/arma/subjugation for the small damage bonus.

 

I literally did QBD my first day back in the EOC with no previous bossing experience. Check youtube for any of the guides on there for a rough idea, with drygores you won't have any issue at all.

Awesome guys, thanks for the responses!

Ill set myself up with some GWD gear and grab a mhm and a abs. Might give the Kiln a go for the cape but otherwise I think I've got everything else.

Thanks again :)
