This section is still a work in progress, but will be updated with details as the meta develops.
Gear Progression
The name of the game is to obtain DR from any possible sources. Damage and evasion are secondary to DR. Without access to
,
or
, our sources of DR are quite limited, but they exist. Note that all of the items in this section requires
to be completed.
- The first item is the
Frost Walker Boots from 
Large Ice Troll in Error creating thumbnail: File missingForsaken Tundra, which requiresError creating thumbnail: File missing105. These monsters are relatively weak and won't cause too much trouble, but the boots they give offer a whopping 12% DR. These count as legendary slayer tasks and so it is worth rerolling legendary tasks to help make a dent in the 20 tasks needed to purchase
Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary). - With the DR offered from Frost Walker Boots, the next easily obtainable item is
Perfect Sight Legs from 
Conda in Error creating thumbnail: File missingJungle Labyrinth, requiring onlyError creating thumbnail: File missing100. This monster is easily handled withError creating thumbnail: File missingMelee if yourError creating thumbnail: File missingHitpoints is high enough, allowing us to save on valuable runes. The legs give 12% DR. These count as a master slayer task, so feel free to reroll them to earn some slayer coins. Feel free to take on any
Alraune tasks you roll, as the DR from Perfect Sight Legs is not needed for that monster. In addition, any of the other monsters in Error creating thumbnail: File missingJungle Labyrinth will also need to be killed at some point for their respective clue pieces, so killing them when you roll their slayer task is slightly more macro-efficient. - Another very easily obtained item is
Bundled Protection Body from Alraune in File:Jungle Labrinth (combatArea).png Jungle Labrinth. While this item is easier to obtain than Perfect Sight Legs, it is less useful as the body slot contests with master and legendary slayer gear. This item will be useful for dungeons, however, as it also gives 12% DR. - The next item is
Spectral Ice Sword from 
Spectral Ice Wolf. This monster is quite difficult and requires a lot of DR. It is recommended to have Frost Walker Boots and Perfect Sight Legs first before attempting this monster, although a 
Guardian Amulet can be used instead of the legs. These are a legendary task and should be completed on task at all times. - After all of the above items have been obtained, the next goal is to continue working on Slayer Gear Upgrade Kit (Legendary). We need to complete 20 tasks and they take a long time. The upgrade offers 10% DR and 25% area negation (+4%/+5% respectively over master) per piece and will be a necessary source of DR and negation moving forward. Continue to farm Large Ice Trolls, Spectral Ice Wolves and possibly
Polar Bears. The latter has an unavoidable, 2 turn freeze attack which reduces your DPS considerably, so it may be worth simply skipping them.
There are unique drops offered by enemies in
, but as the area effect is particularly strong these enemies will waste a lot of food if we tackle them now. Best to wait until we have access to greater slayer area negation. In addition and perhaps more importantly, all of these items are solely for collection log purposes. The 
Ward of Flame Platebody and 
Burning Protection Platelegs require 
(P) Divine Platebody and (P) Divine Platebody respectively, which are unobtainable on a CO.
