How about a new demon bug looking monster? It would require a medium slayer level (78 comes to mind, for no particular reason). The monster would basically look like a giant Spricket, with more spikes and stuff to make it look bad a**. There would be 2 forms, a level 97 and then a 111. The 97 will use a ranged attack similar to the dark bow, with 2 hit splits per shot while the 111 will alternate between a magic and a ranged attack, prioritizing the style that the player fighting it isn't protecting against.

Here's the zinger: The monster will drop a level 60 tier shortbow bow that can fire up to dragon arrows. This would ideally increase the demand for the arrows, to accompany the increase in supply from raids. This would also provide players a more affordable substitute for the 3rd age bow. I'm not sure if it should have a special attack or not, but I was thinking something similar to the MSB spec, but with increased accuracy and decreased damage.

In order to fight the bugs, one would have to complete Evil Dave's portion of RFD and then a new miniquest that involves exploring a new portal that Dave seems to have conjured in his basement. The player would have to find a slip of paper in the portal area that has an incantation on it to close the portal. Dave dropped it while exploring and is too frightened to retrieve it. Upon returning the slip to dave, he will attempt to close the portal and accidentally open a new one with the demon bugs in it, and the player can now fight them on or off of a slayer task if they have the required level.

Time trial slayer, but not like the one originally polled. Instead you would get a list of monsters, perhaps 5 waterfiends, 8 fire giants, 1 mithril dragon, 3 wyverns and it would be up to you to plan the best way to complete this task as quickly as possible in any order.

You'd get some bonus slayer and combat exp at the end depending upon how fast you completed the task (partly to make up for reduced xp as a result of travelling). The idea is just that it's an alternate way to slay, and should balance out to be about the same effectiveness as normal slayer, but with the opportunity for faster experience if you can get fast times. It would reward players with lots of transport unlocked, and the game knowledge to quickly plan an optimal route without referring to guides.

Every slayer master would offer this as an option every time, so you could choose a normal slayer task or a time trial task list.
Cabbage? CABBAGE!

bringing more superiors. create one for every possible slayer task. its an easy adaption. most of the creature have already come in multiple sizes during quest as bosses. bring these creature in as superiors

create a possibility to get a new task by using the gem or helmet. as an extra reward with slayer points.
- this would be similar as the talk npc lunar spell.
- make it as a charge option like you have with the blowpipe/trident.
- the charges are a drop from killing monsters on a slayer task as a rare additional drop like
the shards in catacombs.
- shards can only be obtained once the reward is unlocked at the slayer master.
- a reward that is specific for 1 slayer master. once a person chance he needs to unlock it at
the new slayer master.

I support the broad darts as untradeable drop from kurask and only when on slayer task.

i support the slayer task only drop table for monsters

Hey,

It would be good to see a buff to the warrior's ring dropped by Dks. The warrior's ring has the same drop rate as the other rings dropped, and yet at the same time it is inferior.

I have seen a few players suggest the following buff:

6+ slash defence/attack
12+ slash defence/attack imbued

This buff would make it much better to use in PvM slayer situations, and more worth it when doing a Dks slayer task and seeing it as a valuable drop.

Cheers.

My idea is to use dead environments after complete missions, to generate a post-mission slayer content, so the player would have to complete this mission to use this slayer cave area, some examples of environments that could be reused, an immense area ;the mission Underground pass, holy grail, the pyramids, the cave of legends quest and environments that other players could give suggestions.

I suggest this because these environments are very cool but not used (only once during the mission), I would like to see some content in them.

So these places could receive either normal monster slayers, or bosses that the community could give suggestions, one of the drops that could be given would be a backpack that equipped would release more space in the player's conventional backpack going from 28 spaces to 40.

Drops that make the player want to visit these environments again.

Sorry for my english I'm using google translator.

Att. Valentina.

I love the marble fragments -> marble maul idea! Similar to catacombs and would force me to choose where to train based off what I want. Gargoyle boss on top of the tower would be pretty awesome.

I like the slayer trails idea as well. Perform x amount of tasks (progressively getting harder) for a special reward.

I also like the slayer amulet idea although I don't know how useful it would be.

@Nightguy789's idea of a slayer amulet, you're over thinking stuff buddy.

-Slayer gem is already in a slayer helmet.
-Witchwood Icon used for Cave Horror task only, not much of a problem to just wear it.
-Slayer helmet > Salve amulet. ALWAYS.
-Amulet of the Damned is only good for a full Barrow's set, not sure who slays in a full Barrows set other than Guthins for a couple of kills to fill their HP up.
-Occult necklace only really used at metal dragons or Kraken.
-Xeric talisman not really slayer related is it???

You're pretty much asking for lazyscape. No support.
