Its the little things that count

Well, i have been sitting at 84 slayer for well over 6 months now. I just havent had the urge to get my level lol. People at abbys would poke fun at me all the time, because im a lvl 125 using Wild Pies to train on abbys for whips lol.

 

 

 

But one day, i was sitting there killing abbys, and a guy came up there wearing the new slayer mask. I never really got ambitious to get one, because i was happy enough just making pies to kill abbys. Until i started watching his hits... Constant mid to high 30s so it got me interested.

 

 

 

So i head off to cave horrors for the day, without any luck (guess i used all my lucky drops up from getting 8 whip drops in 3 days) So instead i hop over to world 2, go to fally park, and buy one :P

 

 

 

Who knew something like that would make me get up and train slayer again hehehe. I went from 250k xp away from 85 slayer yeterday, to 40k away from my lvl right now as im typing this. Its great being able to burn through tasks so quickly, and hitting so hard. Some small things i noticed about the mask... and these are things that i notice about it, dont chew me out for it, and it might just be me.

 

 

 

When im training on lets say.... Gargoyles. When i first drink a Super Attack, and Super Strength, my stats are both at 118. I wear full guthans and alternate the helm with the mask, and the weapon with drag square, and whip.

 

 

 

So anyways. at 118 strength, and attack, the number that pops up the most with my hits is a 37 (the odd time a 38). Now, here comes the confusing part. There was one time, i wasnt paying attention, and my stats ended up going back to natural (99) I didnt notice, but i usually drink a pot when i see my hits are getting lower. But when im wearing the black mask.... at 99 strength and attack. I still hit 35s Its only a couple hits less then when im fully potted, and i dont hit it very often. Not really all that special, cause i drink a super set anyways just to hit harder and faster :P just thought it was pretty strange.

 

 

 

Also, i spent all yesterday TRYING (yes trying) to get an Iron Dragon task. The best part is... they are now my favorite Task to get. Yup, you heard it.

 

 

 

They removed the first digit of the task number. Rather then always getting 150 or so Iron Dragons for a task... I get 40 - 60 Iron Dragons.

 

 

 

Which is GREAT !!!! Its not to low a number to make it a pain to get down there. And its not to big to where u have to spend a couple hours there. Not to mention (and this is just me, doesnt mean its the same for everyone) but, i can kill 3 Iron Dragons now before i have to take a drink of a prayer potion. THREE !!!! (sometimes more, sometimes less) Before the mask, i was lucky to kill 1 and a half per dose.

 

 

 

Its also very easy to tell when your task is done... you go from hitting constant 30s on the dragons, to hitting constant 0s lol. so this makes them ultimately my favorite task to get now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whats the point of the story? I dunno, im bored. Im killing Gargoyles right now, and felt like typing out a story :P

Nice story. Good luck on 85 Slayer. :wink:

[Dragondan_Ro]

is it true that the mask helps?

[Deathrune666]

it helps ALOT...

 

 

 

i can do a Gargoyle task of 170+ in around 30 mins. I dont hit 0s all that often, i hit hard, and quite a bit.

 

 

 

That 15 percent boost makes a big difference

good luck on 85 slayer and nice story, ever thought of making a book :lol:

Wow, so can you explain further how the mask helps? What I got was that it gives a 15% increase in Attack and Strength for your Slayer task? if so, HOOK ME UP! I'm a fan of combat training, but not Slayer. But if I can get 200K xp a day... Wow, I would be a fan in no time! :lol:

Well i got the 200k slayer xp in a day... mostly because of my stats, rather and the mask combined. Wearing the mask adds a bonus, and 15 percent on 99 is alot bigger difference then 15 percent on stats in the 70s and 80s :P

 

 

 

I guess the best way to explain the mask... Putting it on is like drinking a super attack, and super strength pot. (but you also get to drink those to add to the hits.)

And how much do slayer masks cost? I imagine this isn't very well known...so it can't be too high, but I'm curious. :)

[Deathrune666]

im not sure what they are worth now. cant be too much anymore. they are very well known. there are posts about them all over the forums :P

 

 

 

 

 

its called the Black Mask (10) the 10 stands for its special ability. It works like the voodoo shields, random, and cant be recharged. Lowers the monsters defence.

 

 

 

I have found also though, when my mask was at (10) i hit really often, but now that it has no charges left, i still hit just as hard, but not as often.

 

 

 

 

 

if you dont want to buy it Cave Horrors drop them. Pretty rare though for most ppl.
