Vanzant 1,383 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 So, as obviously shown from my posts. I've been grinding slayer but I'm also a total noob for this skill. I'm 2 levels from 83 which is the highest I've ever had lol. Anything particular I need to get or unlock as I go? Anything advice is helpful, thanks ! Quote Not sure if you heard.

B4uz 176 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Unluck bigger and badder, if you want to do slayer quickly avoid boss tasks (not jad one), cannon/barrage all the tasks you can (kalphites, hellhounds, bloodvelds) My personal fav slayer master is Nieve/Steve i think she/he gives you cannonable/barragable tasks more often. Block list wise, just block anything you dont like to do or that is too slow like metal dragon tasks. Just have fun and good luck! 1 Quote Latin Crew Officer | Tempest Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin 156 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 - Have a gander at the osrs wiki and determine which slayer master you want to use based on the tasks that they give - Look at the task weight. No point in blocking waterfiends even if you never do them -- the task weight is so low that it's unlikely that you get them often, it's much better to cancel the task and block tasks with higher task weights - Black Dragons -> Baby Blacks - Suqah's are very good XP if you cannon them. - Learn the cannonable spots, if you use runelite you can mark them using ground/tile markers. Cannonable spots are spots where monsters get double-hit. - Figure out which tasks you like (always do), neutral (sometimes do), dislike (never do) -- block the monsters you dislike/never will do if they have high task weight. IE: Dont like kraken? Block that shit because it has a high task weight. - I'd recommend doing each task once to get a feel for it. - Burst/Barrage Nechryaels / Dust Devils in the Kourend Dungeon. Super fast XP. - Burst/Barrage Smoke Devils. - Don't unlock the boss tasks if you dont plan on doing them - Dont unlock optional slayer tasks unless you're certain you are going to do them frequently, as it will lower the chance you'll get other tasks you may actually like 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tika191 1,099 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Majin's post covers pretty much everything worthwhile. Once you figure out what monsters you want to do and tailor your block list according to that, it's so much smoother. Small tasks like black dragons or mutated zygomites are annoying but worth it for points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killaz 60 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I have wyverns kalphites bronze drags blocked use the highest slayer master you can and cannon/ice burst whenever possible SGS and guthans when not possible, bigger and badder unlocking is worth imo black dragons I do brutal blacks but I do it for money, demonics for black demons same reason, are you going for max exp or mix of money in between? also I have lizardman unlocked and do shamans, pretty quick and easy task use catacombs as much as you can for tasks Edited May 15, 2021 by Killaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he does slayer purely for money so maybe that is why? I care about xp so different approach lol Quote Not sure if you heard. I was leader of The BlacKnights.

Out 315 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 - Use Dinh's bulwark for luring barrage tasks (the spec has 11x11 agro range around your player) - Quicker than using darts/blowpipe when you have spec. - Use an alt to alch all drops whilst you barrage - pretty sure this is profit overall if you do this. Also means you can focus on XP and then just loot/alch once you have the stack lured. - Take advantage of tasks like black dragons (baby), ankou etc when you need to afk. Can auto retaliate for a good 10mins and come back to a finished task most of the time. - Camp bracelets of slaughter/expeditious bracelet for all tasks. If it's very good xp camp slaughter, if it's average xp use expeditious. This will increase your XP overall as you're spending less time on low XP/hr tasks and more time on the higher ones. This is worth over camping tormented bracelet/barrows gloves - if you want to be a mega try hard then you can swap between as and when. - Make sure you're doing bloodvelds in the Morytania spot recently released it's so much better than previous spots (mutli/cannonable).
