Following the purchase of the {{UpgradeIcon|Golden Compass}} and completion of the {{ZoneIcon|Necromancers Palace}}, the {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}} [[Slayer Area]] will become accessible. This area is the penultimate {{Skill|Slayer}} Area in the {{TotH}} [[Throne of the Herald Expansion]]. The three [[Monsters]] within this area ({{MonsterIcon|Torvair}}, {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}}) drop the highest level, most powerful weapons in the game, which are extremely helpful in completing both {{ZoneIcon|Millennium Gate}} and {{ZoneIcon|Throne of the Herald}}. These can be extremely long grinds due to the difficulty of the monsters, and require quite a bit of preparation. Each weapon requires 100 fragments, and the fragments have a 5% drop rate, equating to 2,000 kills on average before accounting for item doubling bonuses. The player will also need to collect an additional 10 of each fragment in order to purchase the {{UpgradeIcon|Golden Shard}}, adding another 200 kills for a total of 2,200 average kills required. | |||
Acquiring these shards while fighting each monster as a slayer task is recommended, as fighting these monsters on task will increase the damage the player deals due to various buffs. This will require {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} to be disabled, will encourage semi-frequent check-ins, and means the order in which the weapons are obtained is effectively random, unless the player performs a significant amount of task re-rolling. If the player should choose to re-roll many times to guarantee the order of these monsters, or simply chooses to fight these monsters off task instead, then the suggested order is as follows: | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}}, which drops {{ItemIcon|Agile Wings Rapier}} shards | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}}, which drops {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand}} shards | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}}, which drops {{ItemIcon|Feather Storm Crossbow}} shards | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}} | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}} | |||
* {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}} | |||
===Order=== | ===Order=== | ||
The order | The order in which the weapons are obtained is not particularly important. However, [[Monsters]] within the {{ZoneIcon|Millennium Gate}} area drop Vorloran armour, which is a significant upgrade over other [[Equipment]] available to the player up until this point. It is therefore suggested that each of the {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}} monsters is initially only fought until 10 of each shard is obtained, at which point the {{UpgradeIcon|Golden Shard}} can be purchased from the [[Shop]]. From here, monsters within the [[Millennium Gate]] area can be fought until some of the Vorloran armour pieces are obtained, after which the player can return to [[Golden Cloud Mountains]] to complete the grind for the weapons. | ||
Broadly, an efficient order for finishing {{TotH}} Slayer would be as below. Guides explaining strategies for fighting {{ZoneIcon|Millennium Gate}} monstrs can be found at [[Millennium Gate/Guide]]. | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}} / {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}} / {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}}, until 10 of each shard is obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Devastator}}, until at least 3 different Vorloran Devastator armour pieces have been obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}}, until {{ItemIcon|Agile Wings Rapier}} has been obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Watcher}}, until at least 3 different Vorloran Watcher armour pieces have been obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Harkair}}, until {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand}} has been obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Protector}}, until at least 3 different Vorloran Protector armour pieces have been obtained | |||
# {{MonsterIcon|Arctair}}, until {{ItemIcon|Feather Storm Crossbow}} has been obtained | |||
A popular strategy is to combine the grinding of these weapons with the grind for the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Mythical)}}. An added benefit is the increased damage given by buffs like the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} and {{Skill|Astrology}} while fighting Slayer Tasks. Another benefit is the ability to buy {{Skill|Prayer}} Points, {{ItemIcon|Light Rune|Light Runes}}, and [[Food]] ''at a profit'' with the use of {{UpgradeIcon|Bountiful Resupply}}. | |||
Some equipment suggestions are detailed below. Note that depending on what {{Skill|Prayer}}, {{Skill|Herblore|Potions}}, and {{Skill|Agility}} buffs the player uses or has access to, the optimal equipment may vary somewhat from these suggestions. | |||

In some situations, {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} may be required in order to achieve the required amount of [[Damage Reduction]] to safely idle a monster. Where relevant, this is mentioned below as part of the equipment recommendations. | |||

While the Slayer Area Effect of {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}} provides a large amount of Lifesteal, each monster ALSO has a passive ability that grants them +500% Lifesteal from [[Bleed]]. This makes [[Area Effect Negation]] not particularly effective, coupled with the fact that wearing {{Skill|Slayer}} armor can also prove detrimental to the player's Damage Reduction, it is best to not worry about the regular lifesteal, and focus on reducing the amount of ticks of Bleed the player takes. | While the Slayer Area Effect of {{ZoneIcon|Golden Cloud Mountains}} provides a large amount of Lifesteal, each monster ALSO has a passive ability that grants them +500% Lifesteal from [[Bleed]].

As a result, {{ItemIcon|Bleed Burner Cape}} is critically important for defeating these enemies efficiently. Possibly due to a bug, the way this cape's effect works causes each tick of bleed (there are 20 over the duration of a typical bleed) to each have a chance of completely removing the effect. For example, while the {{ItemIcon|Bleed Burner Cape}} gives the player a 50% chance to completely ignore the bleed before it is applied, it is also possible for the bleed to suddenly expire after only dealing 1 or 2 ticks of damage, massively reducing the damage the player takes, and therefore the Lifesteal the enemy receives. | |||

===Before Millennium Gate=== | |||
To be able to safely idle {{MonsterIcon|Torvair}} with {{Skill|Magic}}, the following build assumes the player has at least {{Skill|Hitpoints|HP|qty=1200}} and 98% out of combat [[Damage Reduction|DR]] (76% in combat). This equipment recommendation is suitable for all [[Game Mode]]s. | |||
The {{ItemIcon|Witch}} + {{ItemIcon|Yak}} [[Synergy]] and {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} are required to meet this damage reduction threshold. Note that this equipment leaves a very thin margin of safety, and therefore any deviation from the recommendation which reduces the player's damage reduction is not advised. | |||

Acquiring some pieces of the armour dropped by the {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Devastator}} provides some much needed [[Damage Reduction]] increases, allowing for more [[Glossary|DPS]]-focused choices to be made. Using the {{ItemIcon|Slicing Maelstrom Wand}} provides a very significant improvement to the kill rate, so is highly recommended. | |||
As before, the margin of safety is very small, therefore if not using the full set of Vorloran Devastator armour then using {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} in place of {{PrayerIcon|Divination}} is suggested to maintain a safe level of DR. At least three pieces of Vorloran armour are recommended. | |||

{{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword}} can be used instead of {{ItemIcon|FrostSpark 1H Sword}} if necessary, however doing so is a significant increase in kill times, taking approximately 33% longer on average per kill. | |||

Having all of {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Protector Platelegs}}, {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Protector Boots}}, and {{ItemIcon|Vorloran Protector Gauntlets}} equipped simultaneously is recommended. Alternatively, Vorloran pieces for {{Skill|Ranged}} or {{Skill|Magic}} may be used to satisfy the [[Damage Reduction]] requirement, although this will negatively impact the kill rate. Equipment providing less DR may also be used, but is not ideal and would require {{PrayerIcon|Holy Aegis}} to be used in place of {{PrayerIcon|Valor}}. | |||

| | Acquiring some pieces of the armour dropped by the {{MonsterIcon|Vorloran Watcher}} provides greater freedom for equipment choice, so much so that if the player has three pieces of Vorloran Watcher equipment in use then {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions}} are not required and can instead be substituted for potions such as {{ItemIcon|Penetration Potion|Penetration}} or {{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion|Ranged Strength Potions}} to increase the kill rate. | ||
| | Vorloran Watcher armour is not so important here, as the [[Damage Reduction]] requirement can be met without it with a negligible impact on kill rate.
