What is your suggestion?:

Slayer rework
Is this in OSRS?:

Yes, I'd like to see slayer to be closer to OSRS.

For the OSRS Wiki, click here: https://oldschool.ru...er_reward_point

For Nieve's Wiki: click here: https://oldschool.ru...pe.wiki/w/Nieve

I also think the so called weight should be reconsidered: https://oldschool.ru...t#Task_weighing
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

Not in the way I'm going to explain next.
How would this benefit Alora?:

I think we deserve a rework on the slayer skill. It's outdated, and we can make a lot of people happy again with this update.
- The reward shop is kind of tedious;
- We don't have to unlock anything*;
- We can't buy rune pouches in the slayer shop**;
- For some NPC's, the amount of the assignment is kind of scuffed***;
- We can't extend tasks, see ^;
- In OSRS, if you meet the requirements, you can block up to 6 tasks.


*) I'm referring to the rock hammer, bag of salt, ice cooler and fungicide. You don't need them at this moment, not even in your inventory. Also, you don't need to unlock the slayer helm or superiors. This might be a nice addition.
**) If those were to be implemented, I think they should be lost on death. I don't want to focus on this one in this suggestion topic though, it's just something I noticed when reading the OSRS Wiki.

- https://gyazo.com/31...8d9266971e2ce35 Jad - 1-35 kills
- https://gyazo.com/5e...81dd06927be579f Abberant spectre - 6 kills - In OSRS, Nieve assigns 120-185, 200-250 if extended.
- https://gyazo.com/4f...b938e948a7a13c4 Abbysal demon - 36 kills - In OSRS, Nieve assigns 120-185, 200-250 if extended.
- https://gyazo.com/ea...4eb2789bff1a527 Giant mole - 23 kills
- https://gyazo.com/89...070de1a78838bb0 Demonic gorrila - 14 kills

On the other side, some more tedious, like metal dragon tasks, are long as can be.
- https://gyazo.com/65...edea8e9fe00590a Steel dragon - 107 kills - In OSRS, Nieve assigns 30-60, 40-60 if extended.
- https://gyazo.com/0b...6b76a00e660a881 Bronze dragon - 124 kills.

Please, feel free to add suggestions down below. I was just writing this topic and came up with a lot of additions myself. It's highly possible I'm still missing out on a lot of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Fantastic suggestion all around. You bring up a good point of the slayer shop being cluttered with things that we do not need to use. All of these are great and I would love to see them all implemented.

 

Good post.

YES PLEASE! slayer is super monotonous and it has been for a long time now. These suggestions will not really make things harder but they'll make slayer a skill that you need to invest in. Currently the only reason to do slayer is for boss unlocks (which are only at a very high level), the slayer helmet bonus and the imbuement scrolls + cannon. 

big support

[Maximum73]

Yes, i'd like to see both the numbers that are assigned be more accurate to osrs. The numbers are off in some of the tasks, i'd like them to be more like osrs.

 

Also the ability to extend tasks or purchase the rewards that auto extends certain tasks in osrs. (Under "Extend" in the first link you provided)

 

Main ones that I notice is too small of abyssal demon tasks/not enough demonic gorillas/ Other tasks that have too small of a number compared to osrs.

 

Even though I'm pretty open with what tasks i do, I feel like I have to skip way more often then I ever would usually on osrs.

 

I support some sort of rework. Slayer just feels tedious sometimes and i find myself only doing extreme for bosses

Good suggestion

[Phossiphus]

Yeah, I'd like to see task extending and unlockable rewards.

Also buying slayer experience with points would be nice.

[EIM Bow]

Support  reworking tasks, especially since I find it super hard to make it through some tasks such as like 100 green drags etc

[Foundational]

I'd love to see this, sounds like better slayer experience overall. Thanks for taking the time to find the info.

I do enjoy slayer right now and i never skip tasks (konor), i think we'd have to suggest more specific numbers for every type of slayer monster however and finding specific rewards for the slayer store.

Without needing to unlock slayer helm isn't an issue imo because it provides the exact same bonuses as a purchasable black mask however it costs 7.5k points to imbue it for range/mage so yes it kind of already is locked behind slayer points to use a slayer helm properly.

[MT]

These are some nice suggestions that you have listed on your topic. Definitely would like to see how Omicron will be approaching these, if they get accepted.

[Roast Master]

Would be nice to see a revamp to one of the most useful and interesting skills in-game. Support.

As you can notice, I'm focussing at the slayer master Nieve and the reward shop. The shop is the same for all three slayer masters. If requested, I'll be happy to figure out if Konar tasks is needing of a change too. I did not research that right now.

For more specific numbers, feel free to click the second link I pasted in the topic. Here you will find every slayer task Nieve is able to assign. The first link has all the slayer rewards you can buy in OSRS. If requested I can paste links to the other slayers masters too, but I think you will get the idea and can click to them yourself too, right?

Also, theres a difference in the bonuses of the black mask and the slayer helm. The slayer helm has higher stats. The imbued slayer helm has even better stats. Besides this, in OSRS, after purchasing the slayer helm for 400 slayer points, you have to imbue your slayer helm at the nightmare zone for 1,250,000 points. It really wouldn't hurt to lock it twice behind slayer points, just like it's locked twice in OSRS.

Support for me, slayer Is my most favourite skill and even after 200m XP i still love to get back to it. Extending tasks is one of the things im really missing on the server, because tasks like 45 abyssal demons feels like a big joke. With that they could also increase some spawns of npc's in some areas

[PICKIN FLAX]

Yea I SUPPORT everything you bring up here. Slayer can get a little tiresome with how the current system is. My favorite addition I would like to see is definitely the Unlockables. I feel like that brings another dynamic to the slayer system and should've been implemented from the start.

[RFD]

support this only because some of the achievements for tasks are absolutely unbearable. *cough cough* Konar tasks.

[Blackpoiint]

Dadicron fixed two of the tasks in my list; abberant spectres and jad tasks.
- you will get assigned 1 jad as maximum right now
- abberant spectres are fixed to be assigned 60 - 95, instead of the old 6 - 45.

I'm still hoping for a proper rework though =(
