I have been back for a month but haven't really had much gold to buy the higher tiered weapons/armor. I have a bit more gold to spend now and I'm trying to see what gear would be the best for me to invest in to. I'm maxed combats except for prayer at 95. I have already bought drygore maces and have basics like bandos/arma/ahrims. I have most chaotics as well.

 

I'm looking for boss hunting weapon/armor as well as high level slayer gear or basic slayer gear. I don't necessarily like the idea of using degrading armor/weapons but from what I've gathered so far, that's the only route to go.

 

I have been told about ports but I'm not really too familiar with them and have heard that it takes months to actually obtain the higher leveled armor (that isn't degradable?)

Actually with the release of GWD2 there is a new tier of nondegradable armor which is quite versatile. There are four sets: one for each style (Zamorak for ranged, Zaros for melee, Seren for magic) and a sliske set that functions as hybrid armor. They are around the same price range as the nex stuff, but lack the prayer and lifepoint bonuses. If you don't like degradables I'd suggest you at least swap out ahrim's for subjugation as it does not degrade, and perhaps upgrade weapon too.

 

For most Slayer either the t70 or t80 power armor (nondegradable) should be more than enough. Nex armor can be used alternatively but you'll be sacrificing a couple hundred k/hr in maintenance costs for very little marginal benefit.

 

Ports are good to get started on but in the short term offer pretty much no marginal benefit. I've been doing them about as efficiently as possible for months and am still yet to get my first piece of armor, so it would be good to give that a running start at least. The (untradeable) ports armor does still degrade, but at a slower rate than the Nex tier stuff. Degradable weapons is pretty much a necessity if you want to boss though. Since you already have most chaotics the next step would probably be making cash to afford a noxious scythe/noxious longbow/ascension c'bows/noxious staff, depending on what type of combat suits your preference. But drygores + bandos armor should be decent cash for a while. Also I'm assuming you already have overloads?

Yes, I have overloads already. Im necessarily focusing on making more money. It would be cool and i dont want to lose any ofc but slaying and boss hunting are what I like to do. I can afford the things you mentioned, I think. Just not sure which were the best.

I'm personally waiting for the GWD2 armour to stabilize a bit then I'm buying the Sliske Top/Legs (hybrid) for power slaying and low/mid PvM. With that you wouldn't have to change your outfit for DKS, TDs, KQ, and regular slayer tasks. But right now it's around 50M for the set I believe
