Warped Tortoises...
Are they really worth doing? IMO, they aren't, considering that you need to use chimes to purify them, which only lasts for a minute...Plus, their drops aren't that great, which adds a big minus in my eyes...Ssj metroid 18:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Personally, i would do Warped Tortoises. Since summoning, the tortoise shells they sometimes drop can sell for quite a bit. And, their drops are decent alchables most of the time, and plenty of charms. They don't do that much damages, and give a decent amount of exp. 19:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

apperantly he is right, as the tortoise shells is a very common drop (1-3) drops per tortoise and it can sell for +3k and it is going higher... it have a bit of good drops but good experience should not be that annoying as much as Terrorbirds!Johnjack922 19:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

By Alphabet, or by Master?
Should we go by alphabetical order, or by which slayer master assigns the monster? I think slayer master is better, as then, you can find your task easier than scrolling through the entire list.Ssj metroid 18:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * However, not everyone knows which slayer masters assign which assignments, but pretty much everyone who plays RuneScape knows the alphabet. [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]]

 * Yes, but this is assuming that the player already has a task assigned to them by a master, thus meaning that all they have to do is look up the master...Common sense, no? You would look up a slayer task AFTER you know what it is?14:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Ssj metroid
 * Not necessarily. The assumption might not apply to all of the "audience" mentioned below. However, the assumption that the audience knows the alphabet would probably apply to the majority :) [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]] Butterman62 (talk) [[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 21:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Steel dragons
It says "90 in all combat stats". Does that mean 90 attack, 90 strength, 90 defense, 90 hitpoints, 90 ranged, 90 magic, and 90 prayer? Butterman62 (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Depends on the method you use. I suggest at least 90 in all combat stats, obviously depending on which form of combat you plan to use. However, 90 prayer isn't required, although 60+ is.Ssj metroid 03:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

my opinion is not 90 in all combat stats i mean 80-85 attack,strength and defense works really well, and 60 prayer if also very good. however if you are using ranged level 80 is good. same as magic level 70 is good too. it's just exagerating 90 in all combat skills it should be lowered to 80 or something. as well as iron dragon 75 in all skills pretty good.Johnjack922 19:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, it's not necessary 90, nor 80 or 70 in all combat skills, as I kill 'em fairly easily even when I was lvl 60-70 in my skills, and 55 ranged. So it just depends in the knowledge of the player in killing those monsters and paying attention.--201.13.11.183 00:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

"Power Slaying?"
Is it really necessary to include power slaying? Even though I do it, I know for a fact that many slayer above level 70 tend to power slay. And power slaying can't really be done at lower levels, so should we include power slaying? I personally think we should revert back to beginner and advanced...Ssj metroid 14:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the terms "beginner" and "advanced" are relative, and so are the terms "low" and "high" level. For example, a level 10 is "high-level" to a level 3, and a level 130 is "low-level" to a level 138. Also, the term "beginner" implies that the person has never slayed before, per definition. For example, having a "beginner" section in Cooking would probably be about cooking shrimp, finding a good range or fire, and such. However, "power-training" has a concise definition, which is "a method of training that focuses more on speed than on lower cost/higher gain".
 * Personally, I thought about merging the beginner and advanced sections altogether, because the imaginary line that seperates the two varies from person to person. However, the "advanced" section had many characteristics of power-training, so I thought that might be a fitting title.
 * But besides that, there might be some concern over the changes about strategy (for example "wear full rune" -> "wear armor with a high stab, slash, and crush defence", and "use a whip" -> "equip a weapon with a large slash bonus"). I did that because RuneScape Wiki is an encyclopedia. Therefore, the information needs to reach as wide a RuneScape-related audience as possible, not just the audience with full rune and a whip.
 * Anyway, yes, I have gotten up a few levels in slayer lately, though have not yet "mastered" the skill. Please let that not be of concern and I am only trying to help. Cheers, [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]] Butterman62 (talk) [[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 21:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge Proposal
I propose this be merged with Slayer.Planeshifted 14:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree, a guide for only Slayer training is helpful. It's long enough for its own article. 16:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Guides are inherently biased though. Planeshifted 17:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess this one really could use some cleanup. 17:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll take a go at it later today. I'm rather sick today. Planeshifted 17:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It actually used to be merged with slayer. However, it got moved here because it was too big. [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png|20px]] Butterman62 (talk) [[Image:Icebarrage.png|20px]] 18:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So the RuneScape Wiki scope includes training guides now? Planeshifted 22:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. All the quests have a guide, and most (if not all) skills have a training guide. Its just slayer's training guide is much bigger than all other skills, too big to be part of the main slayer article. They were once one article, and have been split - if they are merged again, they're likely to be split again. Why bother merging just to split them again? --Gaz Lloyd 15:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Guides are inherently biased as I said and I would say they border on fandom in some cases, but whatever. It's not like I'm hardcore pushing for this. Planeshifted 18:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, this guide is already over the 32kb mark, joining it with the regular slayer guide will make the slayer guide so massive, I think the lagg would be massive.

if you combine this with regular slayer page you woluld crash peoples computers! we dont need that kind of lag!!Aaroncampf 04:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Slayer Strategies
I think the slayer strategies and the alternative monsters should be combined into one table and have a note above it saying that the player may use the alternate monster if they find the slayer monster they've been assigned too hard. and there will be a N/A if there is no alternative.

Revised Table
I've been working on a revised table of the monsters for a bit now, but now the table has been changed, I think it would be an idea to see which format works the best. Here they are, with an example monster:

Current design
Which is better? 13:40, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The first design, in my opinion, would probably be better, as it shows more information about the monster. A table like that would be more likely to help than the one used right now. Ssj metroid 20:31, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Your design is better, though i do think that it is important to have alternate monsters for each task but it wont be possible because of space. Basically your design is better [[Image:Website Feedback.PNG|20px]] User talk  Evil Yanks  Contribs [[Image:Website Feedback.PNG|20px]] 05:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Your design is better, as there is already a page with alternative monsters - Slayer_substitutes. Nacho Novo9 11:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Sub Divide the page based on Slayer masters
why not just have it so each slayer master has there own page and it has the same information as the slayer page does on the monsters but keeping the general information on this page!Aaroncampf 05:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Soul Wars
SW could be used for getting Slayer Levels without even having to get an assignment, correct?

That should be noted.  [---SilverStike/ExoMalakai--  [] LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL >

Slayer tasks needs work
we need a standerized way to explain how to kill the monsters so it is small, reads easaly, and is all around consistant i have done alot but more needs to be fixed

if we do not do this then this page is doomed Aaroncampf 03:36, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
