* New weapons and armor from non-combat skills. All level 100+ armor is a direct upgrade from {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Helmet|Aeris}}, {{ItemIcon|Glacia God Helmet|Glacia}}, and {{ItemIcon|Terran God Helmet|Terran}} God Armors with better offensive stats and Damage Reduction. Unfortunately, the extra accuracy and damage of the {{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Helmet|Ragnar}} God Armor is lost, but the large amount of extra damage reduction is more than worth the tradeoff:

** {{Skill|Smithing}} is used to create {{ItemIcon|Corundum Helmet|Corundum}}, {{ItemIcon|Augite Helmet|Augite}}, {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Helmet|Meteorite}}, and {{ItemIcon|Divine Helmet|Divinite}} armor and weapons. All armor except {{ItemIcon|Meteorite Helmet|Meteorite}} must be upgraded with {{ItemIcon|Iridium Bar|Iridium}} and {{ItemIcon|Palladium Bar|Palladium}} Bars to achieve their maximum values.

** {{Skill|Runecrafting}} is used to create {{ItemIcon|Poison Mythical Wizard Hat|Poison}}, {{ItemIcon|Lightning Mythical Wizard Hat|Lightning}}, and {{ItemIcon|Infernal Mythical Wizard Hat|Infernal}} Wizard robes of Master, Legendary, and Mythical tier.

There are also new {{ItemIcon|Archaic Rune|Runes}} and {{ItemIcon|Archaic Wand|Weapons}} that facilitate the usage of the new Archaic Magicks - the first of which is unlocked after defeating the {{ZoneIcon|Ancient Sanctuary}}.

====Melee====
====Melee====
Melee training should typically be done on {{MonsterIcon|Alraune}} or in the {{ZoneIcon|Ancient Sanctuary}}, depending on the players long term goals.

====Ranged====
====Ranged====
The first few slayer areas have lots of potential {{Skill|Magic}} monsters to be killed for {{Skill|Ranged}} experience. The {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf}} is preferable as obtaining all of the {{ItemIcon|Spectral Ice Sword Shard|Spectral Ice Sword Shards}} to create the {{ItemIcon|FrostSpark 1H Sword}} requires an average of 10k {{MonsterIcon|Spectral Ice Wolf|Wolves}} with no item doubling.

====Magic====
====Magic====
The first few slayer areas have lots of potential {{Skill|Melee}} monsters to be killed for {{Skill|Magic}} experience. Unfortunately none hold items that are either rare or simply take a long time to obtain - so the choice comes down to whatever is most convenient or is simply the best XP rate.
