Guide to Slaying Politely

Good guide (or rather an article) about polite way to go about Slayer tasks, that is about sharing monsters, space and conversations. Something I definitely would like to see being adhered to by all players.

If You Give A Noob A Monkfish

You be warned, it's a horror story.

Now, after you stopped laughing, let me add to it. I think it is also a very sad story. Isn't that how we get hardened in Runescape? I don't want to get hardened. In fact, I've been in situations when I was asking for food or a potion on a slayer assignment from complete strangers (when I had just a few monsters left to kill, but no resources to do so). I still do it from time to time, though not as often. Does it make an annoying noob out of me? I hope not. And, by the way, if my memory doesn't fail me, I was given this food every single time. Not nesessarily from the first player I asked, but still. I've been also routinely giving away leftover food to people in the dungeon when I was ready to teleport out. I like it that way. I don't want to get hardened.

Runescape Slayer Guide

Great guide by Kitt Fox about doing Slayer assignments without getting frustrated or getting on the nerves of other players.

Different look at Slayer

Somewhat mixed up, yet quite unusual look at the Slayer skill. One quote especially caught my attention:
"you level each of your combat stats as a side-effect, making them be a result of playing, instead of the cause of playing. As a result of that any non-slayer combat feels like a "waste" because you are *just* getting combat experience."
Isn't it true? Gosh, that's how I raise my combat. Suddenly it sounds like some kind of a trap...

Rumors in Runescape

Steve's note about a false rumor regarding the way magic dart works at Barrows triggered this post. It is amazing how these nasty things get easily replicated in an online game. Yet another proof of Runescape being indeed very close to an alternate reality. A few other false rumors I've seen/heard recently:
1. The rumor about shooting cannon in Barbarian Assault supposedly reducing team points
2. The rumor about Ring of Wealth not helping with Dragon drops
3. The rumor about having Slayer Gem in an inventory supposedly causing slayer monsters to give you more damage
I am sure there are more circulation out there. If you know about some, please, share in the comments.

10 rules on how to make money with Slayer

Too many 'how to make money' posts I guess, but anyway... I like the advices Anubis is giving in his 10 Slayer rules. I especially want to emphasize a tip about bringing nature runes and fire staff with you on assignments to high alch drops. Steel, black, mithril, adamant and sometime even rune drops can and should be high alched on a spot.
