''Slayer Area Effect Negation'' reduces the effect of Slayer Area debuffs when fighting in one of these areas. These can range from annoying ({{ZoneIcon|Forest of Goo}}, {{ZoneIcon|Arid Plains}}) to downright progress blocking ({{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}}, {{ZoneIcon|Unhallowed Wasteland}}).

[[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 As of v1.1 the site is no longer being updated for anything beyond the base game, however it will still be entirely accurate for players who have not purchased any expansions.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]]. | |||

Quick and accessible guides for the first 8 [[Dungeons]] can be found [[Guides|at this link]], for reference, they will also be linked here. These dungeons are placed in a different order than they are found in game, this is because they are sorted by the Maximum Hit of the bosses, the following is the easiest way to progess through the dungeons even if combat levels are lacking.: | |||

In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels. The cutoff is approximately level 40. {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}} should likely be used before this cutoff to also get an amount of {{Skill|Defence}} XP! | In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels.

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}} | |||

For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor. Note that you cannot ever wear two of the same item, so whichever item you choose to put in the passive slot must be one of the armor pieces not currently equipped in your chest/head slots. | For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor.

With the {{AoD}} [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]], the {{POIIcon|Perilous Peaks}} Point of Interest also provides an extra 20% area effect negation, allowing you to reach 100% negation with only {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Elite)|Elite Slayer Armor}} and without needing {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Combat}} | |||
It should be noted that while UW is listed first, '''completing the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} first will make this grind faster!''' You can complete ID without any of the UW gear sets, the sets don't help the event very much, and the shields speed up the slayer area signifcantly. | It should be noted that while UW is listed first, '''completing the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} first will make this grind faster!'''
