Never understood why most Slayer guides recommend blocking fossil island wyverns. You're only assigned 13 so the task can be completed in 15 minutes if you're 90+ combat, they're right next to a bank and their average drop value is 10k. The XP is pretty bad but you'll be onto the next task before you even notice.
If your main goal is max xp its inefficient. If your goal is literally anything else its good. A lot of people say to block the monsters you dont like so i assume a lot of people dont like them.
Prayer gear, head to long tailed ones and pray melee. They don't do range/mage like the other smaller wyverns. This means the usual eating is to make space for drops. I always do them cuz it goes quick, easy points and less used on skips 😎
So happy to see that youre still making videos! Just got back into the game after a year. Made a new account. love these guides! looking forward to your best skilling methods of 2022!
this guide really sucks imo. wildy slayer should always be priorty early. pking is dead and if ur a noob u can fire strike safespot pretty much everything. 25 points ea and every 10th u get a huge bonus. slayer helm in no time. plus larrans keys??? its a no brainer imo. Konar is way underrated here. the keys make u rich fast af and.provide lots of useful drops for ironmen. going to different locations is actually a positive imo because its more fun and helps u learn the game. this guy sounds like he hasnt made a new account in years.
@@PurpYoshii yea i did this on my iron tbh. Got superiors, broads, slayer helm and rune pouch all before i left the wild. Then konar from there. Keys to keys. Once you unlock bask knights it can be worth to stop konar tasks until faceguard and then back to konar until kraken. This is what i did and i think it was very efficient. BUT that being said, RS is a game that you can play how ever you want so efficient always doesn’t matter but it would of been good for the vid.
I have noticed 7 things that I missed in this video: 1. Larran's and Brimstone keys are the main argument for doing Konar or Krystillia, respectively. It can be very good for 'poor' mid level people to do a couple dozen tasks on those masters to obtain a few of those keys, so they can unlock those gear upgrades that cost a few mill at most. Doing Konar every 10th task for the large amount of points is almost a necessity at this point, especially early/mid game when you still have to unlock stuff. 2. Miscellaneous items that make slayer a lot more efficient and easy to do. Think bonecrusher, ash sanctifier, holy wrench, proselyte, soul bearer, slayer rings, etc. They honestly make slayer a lot more efficient, and at times cheaper as well. 3. Thralls. They up your dps on 'annoying' tasks by a lot and work on most, if not all key bosses as well. In a single task it won't make much of a difference, but after 10k boss kills on your way to 99, it will have saved you 50 hours easily, which is huge. 4. This video is made for main accounts that have access to the GE to buy gear, food, potions. I feel like that could have been specified. Ironman slayer is completely different when looking at efficiency. 5. The offering spells. As a main you can just buy wrath runes and cast the spells, giving you insane amounts of prayer xp for free. Considering the fact you need 70 prayer, or 74/77, to do most bosses efficiently, and 85 for a diary, I feel like this could have been mentioned as well, perhaps in the 'late game' section. 6. Diary rewards that make your life much easier. Think Konar teleport with Rada's Blessing, noted bones from red dragons with karamja diary and the noted dagannoth bones with fremennik. 7. Boss slayer makes a ton of money, but what drops am I looking for? Mention the Hydra's Claw, Cerberus crystals, Sire's bludgeon fragments, etc. This may seem like quite a list filled with critique. I actually thought this was an excellent video with loads of key information and great examples (like the do/don't do tasks and showing how to stack Dust Devils!). The things I've listed are mainly what I find to be greatly useful during slayer and pretty much musthaves if going for efficiency in the late game. Once you need like 600k for a level, those things add up quickly to save you dozens of hours in the long run.
These are all great ideas I would have loved to include. In the end though I wanted to try to keep the guide under 30 minutes as to not be too overwhelming for beginners. I was thinking in the future I'd maybe make a more intermediate/advanced slayer guide to go along with this, as there is just so many things you could include in a slayer guide!
@@FlippingOldschool I always search for if you’ve made a guide for something first. Everyone else seems to rush their guides while not knowing what’s optimal. So I personally would love more in-depth guides.
im seeing this late but im gonna reply anyway 1. konar for points is not worth doing every 10th task, for 50 and 100 its fine (maybe with kourend elite you could make an argument for every 10th but itll be bad for xp) 2. slayer rings arent really worth getting early anymore, the only task you use them for really is dark beasts and you dont unlock them till 90 3. thralls fine for bossing, not rlly used for efficient slayer 5.sounds like a waste of time for mains, more of an ironman thing 6.shouldnt unlock red dragons in the first place but karamja diary is nice for the gloves I guess, if anything lumby elite is the most important
I thought I was bad having gotten 99 slayer with addy gloves and like 70 QP total (was *ages* ago), but turns out that there are more quest-averse people out there haha
90 is probably too high unless you do it on mobile afk while working or something, doing something else before starting slayer. I think 70 is high enough to do proper slayer. Then again I think I started slayer at like 40 combat
100% agree. 90/90/90 is ideal for starting Slayer, as you will be bursting and cannoning lots of tasks, so by the time you're near 99 slayer you should have 99 in all the combat stats. Also it allows you to rack up 3m NMZ points to get all the gear imbued.
So many content creators do this same thing, assume people who are looking up guides (obviously newer/rusty players) have the ability to obtain and use fire cape & barrows gloves. i will never understand why the activities to get these items are considered by many to be the start of endgame, yet they are on every mid tier gear guide on youtube.
25:21 This should be way earlier in the video and highlighted as something strongly recommended for early game slayer. Once you get the slayer reward system solved, including researching optimal tasks and block lists, the entire skill just feels more streamlined and easy to train.
Been thinking of jumping back into RS, my old account is pretty much a maxed non osrs account because I began playing in like 04, remember slayer being my shit, im probs gonna begin a new account tomorrow when I wake up
20:34 RIP Brimstone key. :’( Thanks for the upload, I was getting tired of having to level slayer to get my tears of guthix into runecrafting. Gonna make a big push this weekend.
I think the slayer helm is far better than the ring if your trying to decide what to get first, not to mention the % bonuses towards slayer task monsters. A lot of places you need to go for slayer around 40-75 ( where most people get enough points for either the ring or helm) you can get close if not right on top of it with all the new telly tabs that have been added to the game and all the new ways to teleport with enchanted jewelry. On my ironman I'm 84 slayer with enough points to get the ring and I have yet to do so because I haven't found a reason to.
I dunno about mains but the bracelets are very useful for ironmen. Slaughters are good for getting that one slayer item you want, like a trident, and expeditious' are good if you're nervous about wildy slayer
Bracelets are used on mains as well. Should be doing (almost) every task with one - either slaughter for the good tasks, or expeditious for the bad tasks you don't skip.
I wish he went more in depth about Konar as a slayer master. You get the most points per task, unique drops, and the brimstone keys, so she is better than he says she is. Locked location tasks can be bad, but most of the tasks she gives are fine.
If you hate bossing, konar is fine but please consider this. If you’re doing konar tasks and making like 200k gp per hour while getting 15k slayer exp per hour, you could just as easily do Vorkath for 5 hours and then spend that money on cannonballs. This is a way faster way to train slayer and the money per hour from Konar is too low to really compensate.
For Dust Devils Smoke Dungeon can be a viable alternative bc of the new task only area. Though I haven't tried I am pretty sure you can use a cannon there...
I know I'm quite late here, but I think something that was overlooked is Konar and Brimstone keys. While not the most valuable thing, each chest averages around 100k and can hit up to 300k+ which while in the grand scheme it's not that much, for many tasks, that can help pay for the use of arrows, magic, and especially the cannon. If you can skip tasks consistently, and aren't too concerned about bossing, I've found her to be a really strong choice for me
and u can use fairy rings to get to Konar and then to Catacombs where most tasks are. i was lvl 75 killing 33 bronze dragons which are lvl 140 xd. now i have jellies. got rune sword 20k 5 min ago not bad
I had no idea about slayer task "weighting" with some being more common and I'm 115 slayer in rs3, that will help a LOT in prioritizing what to block with my more limited osrs slayer points.
I will say that the slayer helm is not only a quality of life, I mean if you get an Abereant spectre task, then you can still get the damage buffer from the mask while still wearing the nose peg. But still, a really great guide!
7:10 I'd include a ring of wealth in that basic setup. Dirt cheap, teleports to the grand exchange (sell your loot) and picks up COINS (huge huge huge, in RS3 I have to pay millions of dungeoneering tokens for such a privilege)
Same, my grind to 98 (~300k from 99) has taken me soooooo long because I CANNOT resist doing the boss variant of any task that allows it. Demon task? I'm heading GWD or monkeys. Hounds? Hi Cerb. Abbies? Yep Sire it is. Dags? I guess I could use another ring... Even that last 300k xp will take me months due to the way I train slayer lol
@@sgtnubbings6501 yupppp hahaha takes so long but the pet chances and the money for me a kalphite task will take 10 hrs + depending how many I get assigned
This is the first video that pops up when I type osrs slayer Here’s something jagex should add: A higher level slayer monster That assigns high tier monsters, and bosses, I hate going through duraDEL NOT DURABLE RU-vid and getting FIRE GIANTS AND WYRMS LMAO
I’d like to chime in an suggest you also farm NMZ to imbue your Black Mask / Slayer Helm asap as it will allow you to use Mage and Range as well as increase your XP/HR for all styles overall!
Okay, that is so weird lol. I just got 87 smithing a couple days ago and thought I'd move on soon to slayer since I think I've accumulated enough money to fund some "slayering" and this comes out! Perfect, thank you man!
@@dannyU2g It’s more efficient to just cannon through the early-midgame of slayer because the tasks are so bad. Spend money on slayer to speed it up, make your money elsewhere (for example smithing like this guy said)
Im having a hard time finding mammoths in the wilderness any way you could point me to the right direction in combat level 54 or 53 I'm just worried about getting pkd any tips you can give me
Slayer is slow. But if your using it to level combat. It’s awesome. Plus high slayer is great $$$ U forgot u get tons of HP XP also 1:27 900k to99 . happy hunting y’all
Layer is a skill which I don’t train for the sake of leveling up. I train it as I’m enjoying the process to meet differenf monsters. Als, it allowed me to explore the rubedaow maps. So it’s a slow skill yet enjoyable experience
does anyone else really dislike when 99 guides have a whole section about "why would you want to level up X skill"? or "what is X skill" like, dude I searched for this guide, I know what it is, and have already established that I want to level it up, else why would I be here..? that's kind of the whole point of having searched for a guide
Hey guys, I'm here to save you 22 minutes of your life; The 1-99 Slayer guide. Get a task. Kill Monster. Repeat until you hit 99. Optionally use burst and cannon to speed up kills and use a bracelet of slaughter sometimes.
Your guide instantly became worthless when you try to talk about how the slayer helm isn't important and how it won't really speed up slayer xp. If that were true then we'd all be using bronze daggers.
I would love it if some rich loser was like “i resent that” then proceeds to max slayer exclusively with tick eating and rings of recoil. That would take soooooo long
If you are an iron man I would not recommend skipping Turoths, they drop herbs/seeds at a decent rate and are not that hard to kill. You will also appreciate having a Leaf Bladed Sword when you start doing kurasks.
I personally never skip or block anything that has a superior, or that has a boss variant. So far my block list is iron and steel dragons and suqahs. The dragons aren't high weight but I used to get them all the time when they were really tedious.
I only use konar cuz I enjoy the keys but I need to do more quests and get my barrows gloves anyway and when I do I’m blocking those 3 aswell lol right now I only have trolls blocked because trolls are absolute cancer to me 😂
I personally think slayer is better to start with range over melee. Bone crossbow and attractor plus the fact that most slayer monsters can be safe-spotted makes food cost and the time for trips not worth it. You spend pennys on bone bolts compared to food and pray costs later. Bone bolts are viable all the way to rcb and broad bolts. Plus if you decide to go wildly slayer early it makes everything so easy. If you die you lose nothing and you can buy spares from the goblins under lumby.
plus for melee its super easy to do waterfall. get big stats. and just level your ranged on low level slayer monsters early on. magic imho can best be done with arceus library. or questing.
Keep up the good work man and thank you! I owe a ton of the game knowledge to you and your videos get me back in it when I’m feeling burnt. Keep grinding bro.
