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

Items that will greatly assist the player's Ultimate Slayer journey.

Consumables - Time savers

⬥ Fellstalk incense sticks

• Each potency level provides a x1.01 multiplier to elite NPCs spawn chance, up to ~4% (tiers stack multiplicatively). • Important item for tasks such as: Ripper Demons, Edimmu and Rune Dragons. ⬥ Slayer VIP ticket

• Usually obtained via the Travelling Merchant or Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza. • You can also kill the beginner version of the Giant Mimic for ~30+ slayer VIP tickets per hour depending on luck. ⬥ Seeker's Charm

• Offering them to the northern portal in the stalker dungeon increases the chance of elite soulgazers appearing from 1/50 to 1/10.

Consumables - QoL

⬥ Lantadyme incense sticks

used. ⬥ Potion reservoir

upkeep.

Other Untradeable items

⬥ Most wanted cards

• Obtained weekly from the platinum mode of Rush of Blood. • Increases unique droprates for their respective monsters. • Each card contains 100 charges, each kill of the monsters depletes 1 charge. • Multiple copies cannot be obtained. • Very good for Glacors

and Automatons

⬥ Slayer Masks

• Allow players to force a task for the monster once a day. Read more in the following section.

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.

Block and Prefer Tasks

Ask questions if you get stumped

Prefer List

• Ripper demons • Demons cluster • Strykewyrms cluster • Lava Strykewyrms • Dragons cluster • Gemstone dragons • Dinosaurs • Edimmu (see below)

Block List

• Black demons • Elves • Greater Demons • Dark beasts (after dark bow is obtained) • Aviansies • Gargoyles (after granite maul is obtained) • Vyrewatch • Crystal Shapeshifters (after elven ring is obtained)

Note: Undead cluster and Creatures of Daemonheim are also good prefer tasks to replace any monsters you finish before obtaining the pet.

Priority (P) list if your cape procs:

⬥ P1: Edimmu

⬥ P2: Ripper demons , Demons cluster task

⬥ P3: Camel Warrior , Living Wyverns , Lava Strykewyrms , Strykewyrms cluster, Dinosaurs

⬥ P4: Nightmare creatures , Creatures of the Lost Grove

⬥ P7: 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.
