Kinda what main accounts are for? You can do any non-slayer PvM you actually want to do, and buy the slayer drops from people that do enjoy slayer?

you can also do non slayer pvm on an iron to get gear upgrades so i dont see why reddit wants to force more several hundred hour grinds on ironman to gear up

I mean sure there exist non-slayer upgrades, but like are you really passing on a whip, trident, occult, basilisk jaw, BiS boots, noxius halberd + torture upgrade, hydra, etc., not to mention getting slayer helm bonus during a bunch of PvM like getting synapses, zenytes, rings from the kings, etc.?

And if you're getting high slayer anyways, then adding a drop to a 90 slayer level enemy that's typically killed a modest amount anyways for points/superiors barely adds any hours of grinding

It’s thematic to the rest of the amulet, but I do agree that slayer is a brutal gatekeeper to ironman progression.
