I'm trying to get 65 Slayer before the holidays (large order here ) but if I go powerslaying, I would need 6 million worth of cannonballs. I could fletch 17K Yew Longs and sell them but that's for powerslaying...

So, should I:

1. Fletch 17K Yew Longs and sell them.

2. Use the 1.9 million to buy food and meele until 65 Slayer.

I'd get the cannon. Easy peasy for slaying.

Is it really worth fletching 17K bows for the necessary equipment? I heard 10K Cannonballs gives like 120K Slayer xp. So I would assume I need 30K Cannonballs. But would I save more on meeleing my way to 65 Slayer?

Since you're not making bankroll on yews (and it takes darn near forever), let me save you the trouble and tell you it's far cheaper to just melee to 65. FAR CHEAPER.

Sometimes you'll have to range the Kalphites, aside from that it's still cheaper.

Ok then, I'll just meele at the price of speed.

Thanks.

I vote melee it. Saves a lot of money and by the time u get 65 slayer, you'll already have made money from slayer.

I meleed all the way to 65 Slayer because I got trolls and firegiants the whole time. You probably will have the same luck.

you get 20 xp for every cannon ball you use, but since u are meleeing as well when u train slayer, only about 2/5 of ur xp needs to be from cannon. so for every 100k slayer xp, u only need 2k cannon balls about

I got my slay without shooting 1 cannonball and it only took me a couple days...slay xp is really fast and easy.

Just go fish a couple trips of food...cook...then do the couple trips then go fish more.

easy.

Assuming that 20xp is 10 damage for every cannonball, I might not be able to hit 10 often enough, yet again assuming if my low range level affects this.

I still have about 1.7mil to spend. If what you said is true, I would require about 6-8K cannonballs, in which I could afford.

I am currently training with trouts and salmons bought from my friend (cheaply). Now I'm stuck with buying 6K Lobsters or selling my halberd and buying cannon and cannonballs. If cannoning tasks would greatly speed my slaying up, then I wouldn't mind spending all on it.

If you do train slayer with a cannon, please do tell me whether Luckk13's xp rate applies to you. I would like more confirmation before spending all my money on the equipment.

I would appreciate all your help greatly. Thanks to all who helped so far. I will contribute back to the community someday.
