If the player has multiple items that grant a special attack, and the combined total adds to greater than 100%, the game will attempt to normalize the chance of using either attack. For example, if the player is wearing both an {{ItemIcon|Ancient Sword}} and a {{ItemIcon|Ring of Blade Echoes}}, the player will have a 50% chance of using Life Leach, and a 50% chance of using Blade Echoes. A list of equipment and spells with special attacks can be viewed on the [[Special Attacks]] page. | ||

[[Combat Simulator]] is a Mod that allows you to estimate many attributes of combat, such as death rate, XP/hr, drops/hr, DPS, and so on. With Combat Simulator, it is trivial to check if your setup is going to work or not. It simulates combat at high speeds using the games own code, so it's quite accurate. As of game version v1.1.1 this mod has not yet been updated to work with the new built in mod manager and is currently not available. | [[Combat Simulator]] is a Mod that allows you to estimate many attributes of combat, such as death rate, XP/hr, drops/hr, DPS, and so on.

[https://zxv975.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] is a site built by zxv. You enter some of the stats found on the combat page and see which enemies you can or can't idle. It's a very useful tool throughout the game. As of v1.1 the site is no longer being updated for anything beyond the base game, however it will still be entirely accurate for players who have not purchased any expansions. It will only be inaccurate for Elite/Master {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks for players who have completed {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} and have purchased the [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]. | |||

For the earliest parts of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source. Javelins are more powerful than bows, and can be used if you want to powerlevel a bit, but the effort it takes to make enough for each level bracket is more than the effort required to just use arrows. Additionally, {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} are equivalent to {{ItemIcon|Rune Arrows}} while not having a level requirement, and so can be used from {{Skill|Ranged}} level 1. If you can comfortably fight {{MonsterIcon|Frozen Archer}} with your {{Skill|Melee}} setup, these can carry you through training ranged without even looking at {{Skill|Fletching}} | |||

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. | 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.

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.
