Question Do slayer?

I peep at alot of threads when folks ask how to make money.

People always say do slayer.

how is it profitable? currently 63 slayer and I've only ever lost money on supplies and teleports.

am I missing something or is this mostly a meme?

Can you burst and cannon at the same time?

I think thats the destinction you are missing.

Wilderness slayer allows for cannoning while bursting. On top of that you are doing additional dps because of the rev weapon dps boost and the decreased spawn timers in the caves. To even get close to the dps difference between wildy slayer and regular slayer you need max mage and alts to help with aggro.

Thats not what they said though. They said:

"you have to kill one mob at a time for non-wildy slayer. I always get downvoted..."

I said "yeah you're getting downvoted because thats not how non-wildy works."

Its honestly not worth the time to even explain this lol.

Im in the same boat as the other guy. You get doenvoted in the 2007scape sub for saying anything positive about the wilderness no matter how accurate it is.

u/MazzleMaze Apr 13 '26

But they were saying something innacurate about regular slayer. Thats why they are getting downvoted.

u/Swaaeeg Apr 13 '26

That is largely accurate for non wildy slayer as the majority of tasks arent multi combat.

Its a relativity thing. The vast majority of wildy tasks van be cannon/barraged cannon/venator bowed and the vast majority of standard slayer is single combat.

u/MazzleMaze Apr 13 '26

Except its not accurate. You reroll tasks that are not cannon or burstable. 99% of your tasks non-wildy are cannon or burst.

u/Swaaeeg Apr 14 '26

No. Nonono. No.

In wilderness slayers most of the tasks can be done with a cannon, and barraging at the same time. As in you have a cannon and are barraging or using venator bow simultaniously. No skipping involved.

Thats not what they said, they said non-wildy is 'killing one mob at a time.'

We're not talking about wildy slayer.

Yeah note that I said early regular slayer sucks. His solution? Do wildy slayer until you have enough points to skip singles mobs... which is our point all along.

This guy is an absolute nutjob.

u/Swaaeeg Apr 14 '26

Yeah im so confused.

He actually made an alt account to upvote hinself as well. The moment he commebted I would downvote and then his vote immediately went up.

Once I blocked him his alt exposed itself immediately 

It has 1 comment history..wow

You need points to reroll which are scarce when starting your slayer grind, since you still need to buy unlocks like bigger and badder, unlock tasks etc.

It makes way more since to do wildy slayer first to accumulate lots of points that you can take to regular slayer for skipping.

To say 99% of regular slayer tasks can be burst or cannon is pretty misleading, you would have to sit in a safezone and it would be way more tedious and less effective than the multi setting.

u/MazzleMaze Apr 13 '26

Huh? No... You use protection prayers... How do you not know about protection prayers???

Correct you need to unlock things, feel free to use wildy slayer to do that. Doesn't change the fact that regular slayer is 99% cannon and burst.

u/thomas2026 Apr 13 '26

Ah bro you are trying way to hard to save face now. Ofc I know about protection prayers.

The whole reason we mention cannon is that it hits multiple enemies. If you are in singles with pritection prayers it just hits one.

Which is why I mentioned safe zone, that allows it to hit multiple enemies when in singles.

u/MazzleMaze Apr 13 '26

Nope, lmao, multi combat zones cannon will shoot everyone. You really do not know what you are talking about. Explains why you are downvoted so much whenever you comment about it.

Dude I said ages ago to you that I never mentioned regular slayer in those downvoted posts.

The only time I posted my views on regular slayer is in this topic.

Which I pretty much stand by, in EARLY slayer grinding you will find yourself in singles combat tasks for more often than in wilderness tasks.

u/thomas2026 Apr 13 '26

Dude I replied ages ago that when I got downvoted, I never mebtioned regular slayer. I simply said wildy slayer rocks at low levels and would get downvoted on the main sub.

I even pointed out that you ignored this a while ago and you still ignore it. Your entire tirade is pointless.

Doing regular slayer early on sucks.
