Note that it may be beneficial to complete the [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks required to unlock {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}} before completing Into the Mist for the first time. This is because of {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} monsters being added to the pool of available enemies. It will no longer be trivial to use {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} for Master tier Tasks, as the new enemies are fairly strong, and are more lethal to the average player than the Greater Dragons available in the {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} version of Master Tasks. If you do not feel comfortable learning how to do manual slayer, feel free to Auto-slay Perilous Peaks. See below for a more in depth explanation. | |||
{{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} consists of 3 set order phases, with pauses in between each phase. Refer to [[Into the Mist/Guide]] for a comprehensive guide on completing this dungeon. | {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} consists of 3 set order phases, with pauses in between each phase.

This allows you to slot any item with a "Passive: ____" effect into said slot. What this allows you to do is splash extra effects from items with otherwise mediocre stats into your build. | ||
While the original article is more than exhaustive, some of the best choices are highlighted here: | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Chapeau Noir}} - More item doubling is always good | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Ring of Wealth}} - More item doubling is always good | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer Armor}} - Lets you splash more Flat Slayer Area Reduction, along with a pittance of item doubling | |||
* {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} - Slightly more dps from attack interval reduction, a big pile of free lifesteal helps you preserve your food stocks | |||

== When to complete Master Slayer Tasks: Before or after ITM == | |||
{{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}} and therefore {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer Armor}} are unlocked by completing 40 [[Slayer#Master|Master]] tier {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks. Master Tier slayer consists of 3 Slayer areas based on the following unlock conditions: | |||
* {{ | |||
* {{ | * {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} - {{SkillReq|Hitpoints|85}}. By default, only enemies in this area will appear in Master Tasks | ||
* {{ | * {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} - {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} completed at least once. | ||
* {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}} - [[Map to the Unhallowed Wasteland]] purchased from the [[Shop]]. | |||
Completing 40 Master tasks can take anywhere from 20-80+ hours (with a probable average of about 40hours), depending on your setup, luck with task length, or efficiency/luck in rerolling for short tasks on the fastest to kill monster. These tasks can be completed either before or after {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}, and which method you do is up to you. | |||
Due to the difficulty of enemies in {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, using {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} to complete Master tasks is no longer feasible following the completion of {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}}. Therefore, it is 'simpler' to complete all 40 tasks while having only {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} unlocked, as the only necessity is to meet the DR checkpoints of each monster. You will also need a fairly healthy supply of food, as these Greater Dragons all have the Greater Dragonbreath ability, which deals a large amount of unavoidable damage. | |||
The {{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} drop valuable materials to make powerful weapons, generally consume equal or less food than greater dragons, and an average of about 40 hours each to complete with optimal setups. Therefore, even though they cannot be done on Auto-slayer, completing your Master tasks while working on your t90 weapons will most likely consume less food, and generally take less overall time on on task by killing two birds with one stone. The major downside here is that you will want to check back in every 2-3 hours to swap your equipment and manually change to the next task. This is not mandatory, but it is recommended as you will be earning Slayer XP and Slayer Coins all the while, and you will be able to purchase [[Prayer|Prayer Points]] and [[Generous Resupply|Food]] at a profit. | |||
Consider the addition of the [[Combat Passive Slot|Passive Slot]] - By equipping powerful passive effects in this slot, you can greatly increase your DPS, item drop rate, or greatly reduce your food consumption. This is most noticable on Greater Dragons; with the {{ItemIcon|Elder Crown}} equipped, food use against these enemies drops ''dramatically''. {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} works similarly for enemies primarily fought with Melee; {{Icon|Rokken|type=monster}} and {{Icon|Hunting Greater Dragon|type=monster}}. | |||

These 3 mobs drop fragments for the T90 weapons, the highest level, and often most powerful, weapons in the game that are extremely helpful in completing the following slayer area, as well as the Impending Darkness Event. These are long grinds, and require quite a bit of preparation. Each weapon requires 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 2% drop rate. That's 5,000 kills on average. | ||
We recommend acquiring them while fighting each monster as a slayer task, this will require you to turn OFF auto-slayer, and will encourage semi-frequent check-ins. Doing these on task will increase your damage dealt to them from various buffs, namely {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}. This will make the order you obtain the final weapons in effectively random, but if you want to do them in a specific order, we recommend the following: | We recommend acquiring them while fighting each monster as a slayer task, this will require you to turn OFF auto-slayer, and will encourage semi-frequent check-ins.
