Pay-to-play Ranged training

Slayer
Slayer is never a bad idea to train any combat skill because it adds variety to your training. Slayer can result in good drops and consistent money making, as well as training more than 1 skill. (ranged and slayer). Another reason training slayer is important for a ranger is because the quest, Animal Magnetism, requires level 18 slayer. Animal Magnetism gives a player the ability to purchase and use Ava's Device, which is a great item to use in the cape slot. Slayer can be recommended at any Ranged level.
