This Slayer Sailing blog adds a healthy mix of RuneScape gold nostalgia and innovation. The Griffin line provides both an engaging Slayer boss and much-needed mid-game stab weaponry. Aquanites and their Hopper fill a major ranged gap, while Frost Dragons revive classic Prayer training methods.

That said, most of the content skews mid-level. Higher-level players may find the lack of truly endgame encounters concerning, though Jagex has hinted at future additions. Having plenty of OSRS gold can help you worry less. For now, the update looks like a solid step forward, breathing life into Slayer while anchoring it firmly to the upcoming Sailing skill.

Bossing is one of the most exciting parts of Old School RuneScape, but jumping into high-level PvM without preparation can feel overwhelming. Having enough RuneScape gold can help you reduce the difficulty. You don't need to spend years grinding before trying your first boss, but some essentials will make the transition from mid-game player to capable PvMer far smoother. This guide breaks down the practical steps-quests, gear, diaries, achievements, and more-that give you the best foundation for bossing success.

Why Preparation Matters

Before diving into specifics, it's important to remember a simple truth: you don't need max gear or every best-in-slot item to kill bosses. Mechanics and player knowledge matter more than anything else. Still, some preparation is worth doing because it saves money, speeds up progression, and makes learning PvM less punishing. Think of these goals as quality-of-life upgrades, not hard requirements.

Quests: The Biggest Unlocks in the Game

If you only focus on one thing before bossing, make it quests. The Quest Cape is more valuable than ever as Jagex continues adding content tied to quest completions. Quests unlock:

Gear: Barrows Gloves, the Neitiznot Helm.

Areas: Prifddinas, Darkmeyer, the Hallowed Sepulchre, and the Gauntlet.

Spellbooks and spells: Huge upgrades for PvM versatility.

New rewards:

Moons of Peril introduces strong mid-game gear, steady income for mains, and resources that offset PvM costs.

Final Dawn grants the Arclight Blade-a budget stab weapon with a Voidwaker-style special attack, perfect for ToA learners.

Veil of Shadows brings totem fletching, offering excellent XP and useful rewards.

With RuneLite's Quest Helper, the grind is easier than it looks. Completing quests steadily pays off with some of the best PvM tools in the game.

Gear: Don't Chase Perfection

A common mistake is delaying bossing until you can afford endgame sets like Bandos, Torva, or Ancestral. That's unnecessary. Three things matter in PvM: mechanics, stats, and gear-and gear is the least important.

For mid-game players:

Moon's gear is cheap, strong, and enough for almost any boss.

Mixed hide works well for melee and ranged.

Bloodbark robes are excellent value for magic.

The lesson? Start bossing with what you can afford. Progress comes from cheap RS gold experience, not just equipment.
