I understand it is more profitable to OSRS gold utilize slayer but also appears to require a much longer period that's time which could be employed on other profitable methods. Also, if you wouldn't mind, what is the very best set-up (preferable under 20M) for the way you're suggesting. Ultimately, is the training up to preference? You don't require the best things to train, the advantages are only few%, and also you don't have to train through Slayer, either.

The recommendation to train Slayer comes from high level players looking back and saying,"meh, wish I trained Slayer, today I am 138 and also have 10 levels to go...". The ability does offer two chief advantages and that's: You always kill something distinct. You can cancel a job if you don't like killing something. The downsides is that eventually you get tired of it too, and you can only block 5 monsters. Additionally, some critters aren't good for training melee. I'd recommend training through Slayer, anyhow, but you have read the truth, so your choice.

In terms of recommended equipment, a Dark Mask or even a Slayer helm is a absolute must. Beside this, you really only need a whip (or even a chaotic weapon out of Dungeoneerin). The rest is left up to you. For starters, I'd get Torag's plate and legs, which offer the best protection-value ratio in the game (s'far as I know), black dragonhide for your magic-based assignments, and begin working on the Recipe for Disaster pursuit, which offers the best stat-boosting gloves in the game. I'd also get a ring of riches (can't hurt), an amulet of cherry and glory boots - the latter if you have spare change, it is just a very small Strength bonus. Overall, the whole thing ought to cost you 2.5-3m.

Combine the two and powerslay! This means that you simply use your best att/str fostering prayers and super baskets in your own tasks, a cannon as well in the event that you would like to/can afford to. This can get you upwards of 100k exp/hr at higher levels, which is just as much or more than armoured zombies and buy RS gold bandits, and you avoid looking ridiculous as a 138 using 70 slayer.
