- Always check the amount of vital resources before going away: Food, food auto-swap (provided by
Cooking Upgrade 2), Damage Reduction Prayers, Potions, Summons.
- Disable
Auto Slayer if you don't intend to use it. It is especially important to disable this for Slayer tasks of Master or higher tiers.

Cyclops and 
Yak Summoning synergy provides +3% Damage Reduction when fighting your Slayer task. With Auto Slayer disabled you may be at risk of dying once your task is completed due to losing this bonus.
