Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the support!
I decided to save up all my Zeal, and get 99 when I get enough Zeal, should be fun to raise 16 combat levels at once. :p
The Soulwars is going pretty well, hope to be playing a lot more during the next few weeks.

Hi V A,
Nice to see your goals are getting together so good .
I was just wondering about a few things mainly slayer related.
1) What slayer master do you use?
2) How do you manage to kill jungle strywyverns? Since they use multiply combat styles.
3) Where do you kill dagannoth? I hate it when I get theese for task since I can't cannon them anywhere in multi as far as I know.
Btw, I'm 11hp 1defence .
Hope to hear from you soon
~~ic3yy~~
Ps: Would it be possible to do smoking kills with 10hp?

I use Duradel for my slayer tasks (and if he gives a task I can't do, I change it at Tureal)
Strykewyrms use Melee and Magic, if you're out of Melee reach he will only use Magic and not try to get close to you. If you stand 1 spot next to an object (mostly trees) they will not have enough space to perform their special attack, so with Protect from Magic you're basicly safe. - you just wait untill one is close to your cannon, stomp on the dirt-mound and run back to the special attack-safespot and it's pretty decent. Their drops pay for most of the cannonballs, so I like them
I have completed Horror from the Deep, so I kill them down in the lighthouse. there are both Melee and Ranged Dagannoths down there, but with 99 defence, some Verac an Extreme Defence pot and Rocktails to keep my Lifepoints above 150, I'm fine. - I pray Protect from melee, as those are quite accurate. The ranging Dagannoth* hit up to 100 lifepoints, but their attacks are *insanely* innacurate. I haven't died even once during the tasks I completed so far, and about 4 Rocktails are usually enough for 160+ Dagannoth kills.
With 1 defence it will probably too dangerous down there, as even though they don't hit often on 99 def... you'll probs be in trouble if there's 5 rangers piling you with 1 defence :p
I did Smoking kills up to the Boss-fight, but the Banshee Mistress (boss) regains her lifepoints too quick. She isn't dangerous, but by the time your ring of recoil hits, she already healed herself from the last hit. It's not possible with a recoil, no matter how often you try. It's not possible to use a cannon during the fight either, so it's impossible to finish the quest.
But on the upside, there are Mighty banshees in the cave there, which you can cannon. That means that I don't have to recoil Banshees in the Slayer tower if I'd get a task of those from Tureal.
Which Slayer master do you use? - The one in the Lost City?

Hi V A,
Well I never get slayer tower tasks, because I have not finished priest in peril. Just for this reason .
And yes I do use the slayermaster in zanaris.
I'm only 75 combat so I can't start the quest. I'm maxed out for my combat .
99 range
99 pray
99 sum
1 defence
I rather love theese stats personally. And I'm not planning on gaining more combat just for smoking kills. Specially if i'm not able to finish the quest . Although I've been thinking to do it just for the cave crawlers & effigies from those.
About dagannoth, I supose it's back to single dagg's @ waterbirth for me... .
Thanks alot at least for the quick responce. Surely gonna help me on getting slayer up. Also, I'm not realy caring about the cost of cannonballs and the drops that might pay for them. I'm currently working on 200M prayer + Construction .
Best of luck and feel free to add me ingame .
~~ic3yy~~
btw, isn't your acuracy on steel/iron dragons with cannon just horrible?

Ah okay, I had done Priest in Peril before I found out that that made Tureal assist Crawling hands and Banshees. But oh well, it's not like I get them every task.
The Cave crawlers can't be accessed without fully completing the quest
I always skip Steel Dragon tasks, I lure Iron dragons on top of my cannon by walking a little out of range in the right direction, which causes the cannon to hit them around 6-7 times each time it spins around. Their defence isn't that good against a cannon, I can easely finish a task of around 60 which is around 10K Slayer xp within 40 minutes. Not only that, I enjoy killing them and the bones make it a free task.
I added you, and best of luck with the 200M Prayer and Construction
