[https://silberdrachi.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] is a site built by Silber. You enter some of the stats found on the combat page and see which enemies you can or can't idle. It's a very useful tool throughout the game. As of v1.1 the site is no longer being updated for anything beyond the base game, however it will still be entirely accurate for players who have not purchased any expansions. It will only be inaccurate for Elite/Master {{Skill|Slayer}} tasks for players who have completed {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} and have purchased the {{TotH|Throne of the Herald Expansion}}.

==Slayer==
If you play actively, you can start with {{Skill|Slayer}} early. If you want to progress in it, unlocking {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} should be your first goal. You will also level your combat skills along the way.
If you idle, it is okay to leave {{Skill|Slayer}} until you need the bonuses from its gear or drops from its monsters. {{Skill|Slayer}} picks up closer to the time of {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, and you will be able to catch up quickly with all the gear that you have at that point.
It takes 15 Normal Slayer tasks to buy the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Basic)|Basic Slayer gear}}. The {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Strong)}} / {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Elite)}} / {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Master)}} take 25 Hard Tasks / 30 Elite Tasks / 40 Master Tasks respectively.
Slayer Areas sometimes require items that must be purchased using [[Slayer Coins]] from the [[Shop]]. The monsters locked in slayer areas will not be rolled in slayer tasks until the item has been purchased from the shop. Also, if you are using {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}}, monsters locked behind an item will never appear if the item is not equipped; you can leverage this to control the task rolls.

===Slayer===
{{Skill|Slayer}} is a skill that mostly revolves around fighting monsters in special areas called Slayer Areas, these areas function similarly to normal Combat Areas like the {{ZoneIcon|Farmlands}}; however, each {{Skill|Slayer}} Area also has a negative passive modifier that applies to any monster fought in it. In the early game, theres not much that can be done about Slayer Area Effects, so they can be ignored.
The other aspect of {{Skill|Slayer}} is [[Slayer#Slayer_Tasks|Slayer Tasks]]: a "bounty" rewarded for killing a number of enemies:
* Selecting the "New Task" button and choosing a difficulty is required to obtain the first task.
* Any other time the "New Task" button is pressed, the window will open again, and the player must pay a fee of {{SC|Slayer Coins}} to either choose a new task of the same difficulty or a new task of a new difficulty.
** the Easy difficulty has a reroll cost of {{SC|0}} and can be rerolled infinitely in order to choose a specific monster, if desired.
* The player will be given a quota of a random enemy available in that difficulty level
* Any time the player kills one of these monsters, they will be awarded {{SC|SC}}.
* Any task that is completed will automatically end and be replaced with a different task, combat will continue with the current monster, and the player will stop earning {{SC|SC}}.
* {{Skill|Slayer}} XP is earned by completing Slayer Tasks or by killing enemies in Slayer areas, these amounts stack, so a greater amount of XP is earned by doing Slayer Tasks in Slayer Areas.
It is recommended to start with {{Skill|Slayer}} Tasks as early as possible, working towards unlocking {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} as the primary goal. Be aware that this can take some time as the enemies the player is able to kill at this stage will not drop very many {{SC|SC}}.
* Even just
* Using Slayer Tasks as often as possible can be a great way to level multiple skills at once.
* Slayer Tasks can also encourage the player to fight targets they normally wouldn't simply for the rewards.
* '''In the early-early game, stick with Easy difficulty tasks due to their free rerolls'''
* The least amount of effort that can be put into Slayer is rerolling as many times as it takes until the monster the player is fighting becomes the task.
** This is especially useful against {{MonsterIcon|Plant}}, {{MonsterIcon|Cow}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Chicken}} and other very low level monsters.
It is okay to leave {{Skill|Slayer}} until you need the bonuses from its gear or drops from its monsters. {{Skill|Slayer}} picks up closer to the time of {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}, and catching up should be relatively simple with better gear.

Do note that all {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Body|notext=true}} {{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody|Ancient Armor}} is technically skippable, it will be replaced quite quickly with the armor from the God Dungeons, especially if these are done as early as possible. They are left in the guide as it is very common for players to get them anyways, and they can make progression a lot smoother.

===Slayer===
Many of the important items for this stage of the game are found from monsters in {{Skill|Slayer}} Areas, so it is helpful to have decently high level Slayer before going too far.
 
At this stage the player should be geared enough to be comfortably dealing with Normal difficulty tasks, and moving in to Hard difficulty tasks by the end of this step.
* {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Basic)}} - unlocked in the Shop by completing 15 Normal Slayer Tasks
* {{ItemIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Strong)}} - unlocked in the Shop by completing 25 Hard Slayer Tasks
 
Slayer Areas sometimes require items that must be purchased using {{SC|SC}} from the [[Shop]] such as the {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} and {{ItemIcon|Desert Hat}}. The monsters locked in slayer areas will not be rolled in slayer tasks until the item has been purchased from the shop. Also, if you are using {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}}, monsters locked behind an item will never appear if the item is not equipped; you can leverage this to control the task rolls.

Due to the nature of the game, it is entirely possible to skip Ancient armor completely, and go straight to the next section. This does however require a bit more knowledge of how the game works, and is not necessarily recommended. The {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} and the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}} are two important items that should NOT be skipped.

{{Skill|Slayer}} is crucial to continuing to upgrade your equipment at this point; if it has been neglected, now is nearly the last time to catch up without falling behind. Elite and Master difficulty Tasks can be quite difficult, especially if using {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}}, it may be more efficient to only do tasks when possible, and fight each enemy normally when the player can't be around.
