Ultimate Slayer Guide
Introduction
⬥ the Ultimate Slayer is a title obtained by completing every slayer collection log item. After the wilderness update, it became a popular goal for many players as PvP can now be turned off. This guide contains all the tips and tricks to make the grind as smooth as possible.
This made tasks like Lava Strykewyrms, Revenants and Ripper demons a very safe and hassle-free task.
⬥ An overview of generally helpful slayer items/consumables/auras/relics can be found in #Overview of Slayer
⬥ Task specific guides can be found in #rs3-slayer
Useful Items
Daily Slayer mask tasks
⬥ There are 2 main reasons to force 1 task per day with their respective slayer masks:
• Easy points that adds up over time.
• Removes the need to use lower tier slayer masters.
⬥ Most important: Use slayer masks for monsters whose uniques are only obtainable on-task/have rates significantly boosted on task:
• Ice strykewyrm - Staff of light
• Desert strykewyrm - Focus sight
• Jungle strykewyrm - Hexcrest
• Airut - Razorback gauntlets (Only on task)
• Abyssal demon - Abyssal wand and orb (Only on task)
Note: Other slayer masks such as Mask of Kurask/Basilisks/Stone provide a boost in drop chance for their respective head items.
Task prioritisation
**Disclaimer! This section assumes the following:
⬥ You own the Slayer master cape
⬥ Laniakea is your main slayer master
⬥ You are starting with mostly empty logs
⬥ Block/Prefer lists are based on task weighing and general level of annoyance of the task**
The Slayer master cape has a perk that gives a 20% chance to choose what a new task will be from a Slayer master. There are a couple of tasks that should have priority over others. The last thing you want is having little to no points with your last item being an Edimmu pet which can be very hard to obtain.
Note: Undead cluster and Creatures of Daemonheim are also good prefer tasks to replace any monsters you finish before obtaining the pet.
Priority list if your cape procs
⬥ Priority list goes:
• Tier 1: Edimmu
• Tier 2: Ripper demons Demons cluster task
• Tier 3: Camel Warrior Living Wyverns Lava Strykewyrms (+cluster) Dinosaurs
• Tier 4: Nightmare creatures Creatures of the Lost Grove
• Tier 5: Ascension creatures Celestial Dragons
• Tier 6: Dragon cluster task, Gemstone dragons
• Tier 7: Anything that can be killed without a task and does not provide a drop boost on task (Stalker creatures, Kal'gerion demons, Tormented demons, Aquanites, Nihils, Glacors, Nodon Dragonkin...)
Note: Tasks that can be toggled with slayer points should be turned off after obtaining their relevant drops.
Farming Eddimus with Jacquelyn
If specifically going for the Eddimu pet, you want to maximise elite spawns. As each slayer task forces an elite spawn, a good way to farm them is via the slayer master Jacquelyn. This is done by killing Edimmu during a Zombie or Ghost task, which forces an Elite spawn every 15 kills with Slayer Introspection . You can additionally use NPC Contact to speed this up further.
⬥ Effects which have a chance to reduce your task count may result in elite mobs not spawning
⬥ After finishing a task you may need to wait a few seconds for the elite mob to spawn
Wilderness tasks
By doing tasks in the wilderness whenever feasible, you can obtain more for future revenant tasks.
Tasks that should be done in the wilderness during Ultimate Slayer:
• Ripper demons
• Lava Strykewyrms
• Abyssal Creatures
• Hydrix Dragons (optional)
Slayer cape perk farming
This method is focused on rolling the slayer choice perk. This is achieved with 2 slayer masters, Jacquelyn and Laniakea. The basic idea is that slayer masks prevent you from being assigned tasks that you do not want and Slayer cape perk having priority over forced tasks from masks, therefore you can simply exit the chat option if cape fails.
⬥ Requirements
• Access to lunar spellbook: Spellbook swap (Lunar) + NPC Contact
• Slayer master cape at all times
• Higher level slayer mask (Black demons, Airuts, Automatons etc)
• A magic or ranged weapon with Caroming 4
• Your blocklist should look like as you are farming slayer points with Jacquelyn
⬥ Method: STEP BY STEP
STEP 1: Equip your slayer mask and Laniakea.
STEP 2: Once you have done that there are 2 things that happen:
a) You get a proc → Do your desired task and repeat Step 1.
b) does not proc and you are given the option of being assigned the task specific to your slayer mask. Do not accept the task and simply exit the dialog.
STEP 3: Remove your slayer mask and Jacquelyn and do a task from her. You MUST do a task from Jacquelyn, otherwise this method does not work.
