So how hard is it to achieve 85+ slayer?

[shaners22272]

I was a pure and decided to just go all out melee.im now 92 combat with 83 str.i figure since im training str and i want to level a non CB skill to specialiase in,i want to do slayer and train both.how hard is it to get 85+ slayer? about what speed is it compared to in another skill

 

 

 

ie we know which skills take long,and which dont IE woodcutting/firemaking.

 

 

 

or just how hard is it?

[gunker1991]

It takes long..Even with your lvl.I can know,my lvl is 93 with 80 str and i have yet to achieve 50 slayer.

 

 

 

Also why all the 85+slayers are mostly high lvls

[Punkenstein]

its not that hard just takes time and dedication

[Mordendravid]

its not that hard just takes time and dedication

 

 

 

Mostly true but by that definition there is nothing in Runescape that is "hard" except for maybe obtaining a fire cape.

 

 

 

But it is definitely a long road. Even the rich can't take too many short cuts though cannoning your way through tasks does speed it up. My current level is about the worst! You hit 1mil xp and realise that you're only about 35% there....

The besy advice I can give you is forget about slayer (kinda). Set yourself goals of 80+ Attack, Strength, Defense and Range then just train them using slayer. This is what I usually do and my my slayer has risen from 40 to 63 without any effort to train it. 85 will be very hard but if you get 80 in all combat stats using your slayer master, you should have got the level.

yeah, I have hit the dreaded 1mil xp too morden! Bascailly, I always train using slayer, and the combat levels just come from that. I meant to keep my combat below 90, but you can't help it when training slayer. 85 slayer is rock hard to get, and will take you a long time. Good luck!

Leveling slayer takes a little longer then it takes to level hp. You get the amount of hitpoints the assigned monster has as slayer xp per kill. Hitpoint xp is actually easier to get since you get 1.333 xp per hitpoint the monster has and you can kill monsters of your choice. I think I started slayer 9 months ago and am 82 now. Sure I don't play as much and level other skills to but if you do slayer only I think it will take you at least 5-7 months to get 85.

For me I wanted to work on my combat skills , so I

 

decided to slay my way there. I figured if I have to

 

kill things to raise these cb skills I might as well

 

slay. Afterall then your working on 4 skills all at

 

once. I used edgeville slayer till level 75 slayer

 

then lost city slayer to my most recent level.

 

I never onced used a cannon took me 4 months

 

to get from slayer level 78 to 85. All I did was slay in

 

those 4 months. Good luck slaying you may even

 

start enjoying it after awhile I know I did still one of

 

my favorite skills to level. \

Ok first of all a level 3 could do it if he put his mind to it. I was level 84 when i hit 50 slayer and then i stoped to go train other things (herblore). Slayer is an easy skill and makes training combat fun. Fun and Combat you say!? Yes it helped me train alot. Slayer is a break from what most people train at (PC). If u put ur mind to it buy a cannon, full Guthans, and aquire bones to peaches. You can hardcore slayer. Higher slayer leveled people are only higher combat cuz you train when you do slayer. Wow that sounds like a lot coming from a level 50 slayer. :twisted:
