Jeit_Thorne Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hello all, I'm back to Runescape after a year break, and last time I played combat was the old style. I've been getting used to it decently well, however I have a few questions about gear. When I returned I spent 13m or so and got Ahrims, Dharoks, Veracs, a fury, a berserker ring, and a few misc items like dragon boots. I feel the gear is decent enough for the moment, however I'm not even sure what to work towards. I'm looking for ideal slayer equipment in general on a budget 1) Wand and offhand or staff? Currently using Ahrim's staff, would Master wand and grifolic sphere be worth it? Stick to staff until can afford Ahrims wand? 2) What amulet gives the best melee crit chance? 3) Bandos still the best halfway decently priced armor? 4) Whats a good one handed crush weapon? Hell, whats a good crushing weapon period aside from chaotic maul? 5) What can I offhand with rapier? Do I have to do dung to get the offhand chaotic one? All I can remember at the moment. If you feel there is anything else that I probably don't even realize to ask, feel free to go ahead and answer it too =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wand + book is generally better than staff, but go for treachery (cheaper Ahrim's wand) + grifolic orb/Ahrim's book, lower tier than that and it's meh. Barrage is very good kph on quite a few things.Saradomin's whisper.Yes. Armadyl and Subjugation are good for the other styles. Ports armour is good for tanking only.Drygore mace. I'm afraid there is nothing else.Best melee weapons are currently drygores, second best is chaotic claws.

Jeit_Thorne Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 huh, ok, so Drygore mace is far outside of my funds of the near future. So when a slayer assignment comes up that is weak against a crush weapon, just use rapier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBearBlue Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 huh, ok, so Drygore mace is far outside of my funds of the near future. So when a slayer assignment comes up that is weak against a crush weapon, just use rapier? Use a maul or crush weapon. A saradomin sword would be one.

Chwish Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Or a rapier is fine. Chaotics even have enough accuracy to melee things that aren't weak to melee if you really want to. I only have a rapier and EEE (which I now need to replace) and I tear through all melee slayer tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th e Doctor Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If you have a cmaul dont bother with specific crush/stab/slash weaknesses. Just maul everything. Its so accurate that you can get away with ignoring magic and mage weaknesses as well bar certain creatures like mith drags. If you dont have a maul get a offhand chaotic claw to go with your crapier.
