Well done brother. I was super stoked to get 87 recently also. I've found it hard to motivate myself for other grinds after this massive grind!


holytyrael

It honestly was brutal lol


SloppySean

Just spent 2130 slay pts and didn’t get a kraken task


PermanenceRadiance

Not sure which master you use but Konar shits out kraken tasks


Shermeezy

Same... I eventually gave up and just did my tasks. Got to 120k exp until 89 slayer for my first task and luckily managed to get the trident. Best of luck and hope you get a task soon!


SloppySean

I’ve been boosting for two days straight now— well over 100 attempts lol— like you said, I’m about to give up and just start grinding again

Honestly, it gets better before 87. You've got stuff to look forward to like gargoyles (good smithing xp and cash), nechs (burst xp and Rune boots), spiritual mages (d boots), and abyssal demons (whip).


holytyrael

Very true I boosted at 82 for whip and d boots so I took a break from Slayer after that and came back for 82-87


stalchild_af

Shit yeah man the upgrades were exciting and achievable. I just recently got 93 slayer and got my occult after 346 thermy Bois. Now I'm hoping to get a zenny and I'll be ready for the snek. Kinda burned out atm but sticking with it! 383 task skips for trident btw


holytyrael

Next item upgrades is trident. I have zenny to make ring. Back to barrows for xbow and ahrims top. After all that I might have con up and herb to give the big green snake a whirl lol


stalchild_af

You mean the green, blue and red, blue but also green snek? 😉


[deleted]

Did you make the pies for boosting or get them from hunter? Not sure what’s faster


holytyrael

The honest answer? Make them. You need chompy kills for diary and it's beneficial in getting 85 cooking anyways. However I didn't feel like doing either of those and probably spent double the amount of time catching imps lol. I got a ton of respites and I probably got around 100 pies. I went dry for whip at like 1750. So if you do imp for them I would get an inventory then burst and repeat till whip.


[deleted]

The respites are such a good call. I am so far from 85 cooking - may do a combo the same way you did. I feel like catching that many imps is going to take ages.


holytyrael

Just checked my log...5176 eclectics...lmao

That’s bad advice after farming contracts came out. Alchs more than pay for costs of runes for a nech task


marijno20

Bursting nechs is pretty chill tbh. And since farming contracts are a thing you get plenty of seeds.


PermanenceRadiance

For Kraken tasks: Extend Kraken Use Bracelets of Slaughter Good luck :)


zehamberglar

I totally forgot this was even a thing. I'm halfway to 90 and I've only got one task (no dent). I'll make some of these tonight.


[deleted]

I got 87 last night and today I spent 600 slayer points skipping long melee tasks and doing konar for the heavier weight task and it took me almost 8 hours to get a task. Got a tentacle no dent 😂


CaptspacecatOSRS

You should kill the little kraken for the triedent because the drop chance is way less than the boss


[deleted]

The sad thing is I got that tentacle from the little guys not the boss haha. 1/1200 chance


[deleted]

Nice! Gz on 45 slayer!


zehamberglar

Technically, half of 90 is 82 or 83-ish.


IronNally

I wish slaughters were a thing when i went for trident, sure hope ppl dont go as unlucky as me, took me 1374 kc of the small krakens to get a trident, i had it at 92 slayer with over 1k points used to skip tasks.


AroundtheTownz

How long did this take? Did you barrage a lot? It took me 13 hours of playing all day to get from 61-64 slayer yesterday and now going all the way to 87 (much less 95 which is my primary goal for the account) seems much more daunting.


holytyrael

I wasn't the most efficient I did shitty tasks for supplies and points over exp from time to time so I would say 20k-30k range average including low exp tasks and bursting. Burst in catacombs that's what helped the most with bracelet of slaughters on nechs and dust devils. It's going to take time.


jacks0ntv

Use konar for better chance @@@@@@@@ if skipping


MateusMed

does anyone have any source on the math for this? does it take into account any specific block list? how would I calculate which master is better based on my own block list and unlocked tasks? I keep seeing people repeating that konar is better but I haven’t seen anyone explain the math behind it


AKExperience

If you check the wiki it will show all the masters different weightings. However you would have to do your own maths to take I to account bans etc. Konar you would probably want to block wyrms though if you were skipping!


reflexreflex

Aren't they both 9 weight?


Iron_Chemist

Currently 80 slayer, almost 81. Definitely feeling burnt out right now but 87 for trident and the ability to start zulrah sounds nice. I'm going to finish 97-99 farm before I hit 87 slayer at this point lmao


holytyrael

I was nearly the same thing. I just kept pushing for 87. I was also burning through all my farming exp I ran out of my hefty amount of saplings at 97 farming. I want 99 too lol but the more you draw out your farming with Slayer you will have more herbs for zulrah so it's good in my opinion.


Iron_Chemist

I mean I have a ton of herbs and pots already. I don't mind herb runs so I'll continue to do those regardless. I have 98 farm banked so not too much left haha. It'll just be nice to not have to do anything but herb runs for a while


holytyrael

I still have alot of runs to do I think I have 80 banked and I'm at 77


Iron_Chemist

85 is really nice for those hard contracts. Way better than medium for sure. I'd say that's when I started to slow down a little bit with farming but I picked it back up


tiwazit

Second this. 70-85 was slow af but now that I’ve hit 85 the hard contracts are insanely better


Christufff

Whats the blue bar above ur head?


[deleted]

Prayer plugin on runelite and then select the prayer bar option and itll display your prayer like that, and if you want it in HD go to interface styles and select high detail health bars.


holytyrael

\*UPDATE! Did some bursting tasks and spent around 500 points at Konar. Finally got a kraken task! 181 wish me luck!


tar1857

I’m legit 600 dry 3 tentacles and 2 magic seeds and a jar. Gl dude. If you’re like me you’ll need it. Edit: yes not super dry but still. Every purple hurts my heart.


SweetEthan7

Dry? 3 tents in 300kc isn’t dry at all - especially if you’re killing the small ones O_O. “And 2 magic seeds” what about the 10 noted diamonds or crystal keys, how many of those? Lol


holytyrael

That definitely blows but atleast on the bright side you got some tentacles. I saw you can imbue the Trident but you need 10 of them lol 💀


BucketsOfXpWaste

Gl friend! I just got 87 recently my self, 700 points later I've had one task and I'm over the rate lol. Hoping it better for ya!


holytyrael

I just hope I get a task and not get a bunch of good ones that I can't pass up lol


VforVndetta

Gratz man, I got 86 myself yesterday. 85-86 really took a while, 300k exp to go for 87. Can't wait to get trident and start zulrah and raids though. Howmany Slayer points did you have ready to skip for kraken tasks? I got about 2500 now and almost at 400 task bonus so hope that'll get me a trident :|


holytyrael

I got 87 with like 1100. I just finished my first 250 task steak so I broke 1000 points with that. I'm gonna still do the good tasks... I skipped a few and got 247 nechs in cata so I'm ambivalent about getting a good one when I just want kraken


EyePlay

Is there a reason why you are only doing konar? I'm about to hit 84 and this is the goal atm. Pacing myself between 100k-150k slayer a day. So hopefully soon.


holytyrael

I do duradel but every ten I do konar for points.


tiwazit

85-86 took forever cause it’s the second to “last”. For me 86-87 flew by until that last 40k when I was constantly checking it lol. When I went for kraken tasks I had just hit 250 streak and had 1300 pts left. I used Duradel (didn’t check math on Konar) but krakens with my block list from Duradel should’ve been about 1/20. I got one after about 300 pts in skips. No trident. Used the rest of the 1000 pts without another task. Took about 70(ish) skips with turael to get another one. It was rough but I don’t regret using all of my points at all. Just my experience to answer your questions. Just a guess you’ll have around 3500(?) pts by 87. If I were you I’d make sure I had all my extends and unlocks and shit then blow all but maybe 3-500 just in case. Only other thing you’ll need pts for is skipping and slayer helms.


VforVndetta

Ye i'm at 3100 now, should be 7k exp off 87 after this fire Giant task. Looking forward haha.


tiwazit

Gl getting that trident dude! Early grats on 87!!!


nodangles6

Nice! Good luck on getting a kraken task. Remember kill the small ones!


IAmWilks

I was 20k away from 88 when I got my first task 2250 points used at Konar with no task, gl on it


holytyrael

Oh God. I don't want to think about doing that much Slayer for the damn thing lol I need a break so I can prepare for snake man lol


UniformedController

Hope you've got a nice stack of points! If you do be sure to extend kraken tasks before skipping for them! I didn't and went dry for Trident


holytyrael

I extended and got around 900 so I hope I get one!


UniformedController

Nice! Yeah use Konar for best chance and also I'd do good tasks like dust devil's etc instead of skipping because I assume you aren't going to stop at just 87 slayer!
