slayer helm wont help u if u dont have tzhaar unlocked yet. if you do, then def do it on task for the easier fight.
slayer helm should be a late purchase, not first. its usually slayer rings, fletching, blocks, and then its preference.

what exactly does the ring do exactly?

they give u teleports to the main slayer locations, like slayer caves in stronghold, slayer tower and relekka slayer cave, the relekka slayer cave option also provides ur closest fairy ring.

oh damn ok thats my next purchase.
Did this all ass backwards huh
well i got the helmet

Tbh i usually get helm too especially since now you can imbue for range and mage bonus aswell since black mask is just for melee (i think? not sure tbh)

u can imbue the black mask for range and mage as well. thats why most people wait.

thats another thing i haven't figured out yet.
nmz... and how to get by untill you can get absorbs?
so i just run prayer the whole time?
setup some melee bosses and chill?

first time u go in, yes just do prayer and super combats. after your first run you can start using absorbs and overloads.

ok cool.
lets see here
whats the best tele tab to craft for exp and maybe break even on?
52 construction could go up if needed to make a tab.

I always felt the salve tabs and creature of fenk are under appreciated. They are 2k + every tab
