Is Bonecrusher Osrs Useful For Slayer Task Efficiency?
Got assigned Dust Devils. With Bonecrusher and the Catacombs, does this setup actually speed up my Slayer grind? I'm after faster XP gains without banking for bones.

For standard slayer tasks, the Bonecrusher's main perk is saving on prayer potions by automatically burying bones for you. It's not a direct damage boost, so its efficiency impact depends heavily on the task—some players find it worthwhile for long demon or dragon assignments, but for most general tasks, it's a minor convenience rather than a core efficiency item. It's the kind of utility that reminds me of the resourceful world-building in 'The Divine Undertaker', where the protagonist operates a specialized magical funeral service, creatively repurposing supernatural remains in ways that constantly reshape his practical and political environment.

Lately I've been wearing the bonecrusher on almost every slayer grind and it made a surprisingly big difference in how smooth my trips feel.
I find the biggest perk is the mental and inventory relief: bones get processed on the spot, which means I don't have to pause to bury them or carry space-heavy bone stacks that clutter my loots. For monsters that drop lots of low-value bones—skeletons, lesser demons, many slayer fodder—this saves tiny seconds that add up over hours. That means fewer bank trips, less clicking, and more continuous kills, which is exactly what you want if you're chasing efficient XP per hour.
It's not flawless though. If you're planning to sell certain bones or use them for booming profit methods, the auto-burying can be annoying. Also for tasks where you want to pick up rare drops and prayer XP isn't worth sacrificing the occasional drop, you might toggle it off. Overall, for steady, relaxed slayer efficiency it's one of those quality-of-life items I never want to go without—keeps my trips cleaner and my focus on the kills, which I love.

During a stretch of focused 'Old School RuneScape' slayer work I experimented with and without the bonecrusher to really see the practical difference. I did multiple tasks back-to-back—the kind that drop stacks of small bones—and tracked how often I had to stop to bury things or make extra bank trips. The pattern was clear: with the bonecrusher equipped I lost almost no time to burying, so my average kills per hour ticked up. That uptick is the heart of its value.
Beyond raw numbers, there are situational nuances I learned. When a boss or rare drop is on the table, I unequip it because I want control over inventory pickups. For ironman play it’s a judgment call: the prayer XP is lovely, but sometimes those bones will be future crafting or sale material. Also, when you're using prayer-heavy setups where every extra prayer XP matters for long-term gains, the passive XP from the bonecrusher contributes to gradual prayer leveling without interrupting your operations. All told, it’s a flexible tool: great for sustained efficiency, but not a one-size-fits-all solution depending on your goals and loot needs.

I've developed a shorthand with the bonecrusher on my longer Slayer runs: equip it for pure efficiency, take it off when I expect valuable bones. For everyday slayer tasks where bones are mostly trash, it eliminates a tiny but constant annoyance—burying—and those saved seconds add up. That means steadier XP/hour and less micromanagement, which is a huge morale boost during grind sessions.
For money-making or collection-focused play I treat it like a situational toggle. It’s a convenience tool rather than a game-changer, but I appreciate how it makes repeated slayers feel less grindy and more focused on the combat itself; that little smoothness matters to me.

I'll be blunt: bonecrusher is a solid QoL gadget for Slayer efficiency, especially over long tasks. When it's active you get automatic Prayer XP from bones without stopping to bury them, so your kill pace stays consistent. That consistency is where the efficiency shows up: fewer pauses, fewer inventory management headaches, and fewer bank runs. If you're doing thousands of kills for a master task or extended Slayer marathon, those seconds per kill compound into a meaningful time save.
On the flip side, if you depend on collecting bones for money, collections, or for use later (ironmen especially), the bonecrusher might be a downside because it destroys loot value. Some monsters drop bones that are worth keeping—giant bones, dragon bones—so you'll need to be mindful and either unequip it or manually pick up valuables. For most normal slayer tasks where the bones are junk, it’s a low-effort efficiency win and keeps my brain from getting tired of repetitive clicking.

After three years of gathering herbs, I finally returned to Green-Pouch Valley.
But my master, Mr. Gu, was not there. On the ground, only a dark red pool of blood remained, soaking his cloth robes.
My senior brothers and sisters, usually so lively, were nowhere to be found.
My master's wife, Auntie Qin, sat collapsed beside the pool of blood. Her once-black hair was now mostly white, her voice a hoarse whisper as she called to me.
"Shuang'er, your master traded his life for the valley's ascension. You must go to the Nine Heavens and offer your thanks."
It was only then I understood. The Celestial Lord, Jun Che, in his quest to forge an immortal body for his mortal wife, had coveted my master's rare Celestial Bones of Healing.
He used the promise of ascension for everyone in Green-Pouch Valley as bait, then brutally tore the bones from my master's living body.
I was born with a strange affliction, a void where joy and sorrow should be. The others in the valley secretly called me a cold-blooded monster.
Now, as I stared at the blood-soaked robes of the man who had saved me and treated me like his own daughter, my expression remained blank.
"Auntie Qin, did Master do this willingly?"
Auntie Qin's eyes instantly reddened.
"Jun Che is the Celestial Lord. His word is heavenly law. How could we ever defy it?"
I gave a faint nod.
"If it was not what Master wanted, then Jun Che deserves to die."
Auntie Qin's face went pale with fright. She lunged forward and clutched my arm.
"Shuang'er, your master's last words were for you all to protect yourselves, not throw your lives away fighting an unwinnable war against the heavens."
I pried her fingers off one by one and looked up at the glittering, golden Celestial Realm beyond the clouds. A faint smile touched my lips.
"Auntie Qin, Master taught me that a healer's heart must be compassionate."
"But he never taught me that gods can't be killed."

Can I use mist rune osrs in Slayer tasks?
4 Answers2025-11-06 20:54:57
Quick heads-up: mist runes aren’t something you can use in Old School RuneScape. Those combo runes (mist, steam, dust, smoke) exist in modern RuneScape and some private servers, but OSRS sticks to the classic set of runes — so there’s nothing in your inventory called a ‘mist rune’ to drop into a spell slot.
That said, if your goal is to use magic on Slayer tasks, you’ve still got plenty of options. Use regular elemental runes (or a staff that provides them), bring a decent spellbook, or wield a trident/blood spell setup depending on the monster. Some Slayer creatures have high magic defence or specific weaknesses, so I usually check a quick guide before fighting a task to pick the most efficient spell and gear. Personally, I rely on a good staff and teleport runes to keep trips short — feels cleaner than juggling hypothetical combo runes.
How does bonecrusher osrs affect prayer experience rates?
3 Answers2025-11-06 21:29:22
Bonecrusher in Old School RuneScape basically automates the burying process, and I love how much of a quality-of-life boost that is for prolonged combat sessions. When I wear the bonecrusher, bones dropped by monsters get buried automatically and immediately grant the same Prayer XP I'd get from manually burying them. That means the item doesn't change the XP granted per bone — it only changes how and when you receive that XP, turning passive drops into steady Prayer gains without me having to click every single pile.
Because it doesn’t alter the XP values of bones, Prayer experience rates with bonecrusher are directly tied to your kill speed and the type of bones the monsters drop. High-tier bones (like dragon-level bones) give far more XP per bury than common bones, so farming monsters that drop better bones while wearing a bonecrusher will spike your Prayer XP/hour compared to killing low-bone mobs. On the flip side, if you intend to use a gilded altar, ectofunctus, or other bone-consuming methods for higher XP per bone, the bonecrusher can interfere by burying bones that you might instead want to save for altar use.
For me, bonecrusher shines during long slayer trips, AFK-friendly bossing, or multi-tasking grinding where I don’t want to stop to manually bury every bone. It’s an excellent passive XP source if you’re not altar-ing or using other bone-boosting methods, and it keeps my inventory and banking less cluttered. Personally I wear it when I want steady Prayer gains without micromanagement — it feels like having a tiny assistant under my helmet.
Should I use dwarf cannon osrs for Slayer tasks?
9 Answers2026-07-28 14:49:45
If you're grinding Slayer and want to shave time off long tasks, I usually bring the dwarf multicannon and it's one of my favorite QoL tools. I love how it turns bloated, high‑spawn tasks into something surprisingly chill — you set it up, grab a snack, and watch groups melt. The big wins are clear: massive area damage, less clicking, and tons of uptime on multi‑spawn spots where monsters pile up. For tasks where the monsters cluster and respawn fast, the cannon basically doubles or triples my effective kill rate compared to single‑target methods.
That said, it isn't a universal cure-all. There are places and assignments where the cannon is awkward, banned, or simply inefficient — cramped rooms, tiny caves, or situations where precision and tagging matter more than raw area damage. It also burns through cannonballs, so I keep an eye on cost vs. time saved. My rule of thumb: if a task is long, safe to cannon, and you want AFK or semi‑AFK efficiency, bring it. If you need high Slayer XP per hour or are after a picky rare drop, I sometimes switch to more controlled methods and enjoy the extra interaction and speed. In short: I use it a lot, but selectively — it's a tool, not a requirement, and I love the pace it gives me on the right tasks.
How much does bonecrusher osrs sell on the Grand Exchange?
4 Answers2025-11-06 05:37:53
If you want the short practical scoop: the Bonecrusher in 'Old School RuneScape' usually trades for a very modest amount on the Grand Exchange — think a few thousand coins rather than millions. In my experience across months of flipping and burying bones for prayer, it’s one of those utility items that rarely rockets in price because it’s relatively common and useful for passive prayer training. Prices bounce around with updates and the general economy, so I’d expect a typical range of roughly 1,000–4,000 coins most of the time.
If you’re planning to buy or sell, don’t rely on a single snapshot: check the in-game Grand Exchange interface or look at a live tracker like 'GE Tracker' or the 'OSRS Wiki' to see the current buy and sell price and recent volume. Also keep an eye on the buy/sell spread — if you need one instantly, expect to pay slightly above the average. Personally I always feel a little smug when I snag one under the median price; it’s a tiny saving but it adds up over time.
What is bonecrusher osrs drop rate in Tombs of Amascut?
4 Answers2025-11-06 09:59:35
I'll cut to the chase — the Bonecrusher in 'Tombs of Amascut' drops at about a 1 in 256 rate, which works out to roughly 0.39% per successful raid completion. This is a final-chest style rare, so every full clear gives you that independent roll. In practice that means you should expect a lot of dry runs and a few thrilling moments when the loot screen finally spits it out.
I've spent enough nights doing these to know the grind feels way longer than the math suggests. Community logs and the 'OSRS Wiki' back up that 1/256-ish figure, but RNG variance is brutal: you can get lucky in ten runs or be bone-dry for several hundred. If you're planning a long farm, focus on speed, reliable teammates, and keeping morale high — music, a small betting pool, or rotating roles helps the time fly. Personally, I find treating the runs like small puzzles keeps the fun alive even through the dry spells.
What Slayer level do I need for osrs greater demon slayer tasks?
4 Answers2026-01-31 07:05:31
Okay, here's the straight talk: you need 90 Slayer to be assigned greater demons as a Slayer task in Old School RuneScape. I ran into this a while back when I was grinding mid-level monsters — greater demons felt like a weird gate because their combat level is higher than lots of people expect, but the real limiter for getting them on task is that 90 Slayer threshold.
If you’re gearing up, treat them like a mid-to-high-level slayer trip: decent melee or ranged gear, prayer flicking or protection depending on where you’re fighting, and consider a cannon if you’ve got the money and a safe multi-spot. Slayer masters won’t give you greater demons below 90, but you can still kill them outside of a task for drops; you just won’t get Slayer XP from those kills. I found it a satisfying step-up in difficulty when I hit the requirement — good challenge and decent drops, so bring your best setup and enjoy the grind.
How do slayer masters osrs assign monster tasks?
9 Answers2025-11-06 00:16:56
Grinding slayer taught me fast that masters don't just hand out tasks at random — there's a system behind it in 'Old School RuneScape'. When you talk to a slayer master, they pick from a curated pool of monsters that they are allowed to assign. Each monster in that pool has its own chance (or weight) of being picked, so some creatures show up way more often than others. Your slayer level acts like a gate: you can't get tasks with higher level requirements than you meet, so your available pool narrows or widens as you level.
Masters themselves are tiered. Lower-tier masters will only give simpler monsters; higher-tier ones can give tougher or rarer targets and usually reward more points when you finish a task. The number of monsters you must kill is decided when the task is given and depends on the monster and the master — some tasks are short, others are long; rare bosses can be single or very low-count tasks. There are also in-game mechanics that let you avoid or block certain tasks and strategies players use to steer their assignments. Overall, it’s a weighted pick from a master-specific list filtered by your stats, and that’s why task variety changes as you progress — feels like a puzzle every time, and I love that unpredictability.
Can osrs fury be used effectively for Slayer?
2 Answers2026-01-31 19:02:31
If you’re knee-deep in Slayer tasks and trying to pick a reliable go-to piece of kit, the Amulet of Fury is one of those comfy constants I keep coming back to. I’ve worn it through a huge variety of tasks — everything from long, repetitive slayer chains to the odd risky bossish fight — and what I like most is how unspectacularly dependable it is. It doesn’t have a flashy special effect, but it gives strong, well-rounded combat bonuses that translate into consistent kills and fewer annoying trips to the bank to swap necklaces mid-task.
Practically speaking, I treat Fury as my default melee amulet for general tasks. When I’m doing mixed or unpredictable assignments where I don’t want to fuss over maximizing a tiny DPS edge, the Fury keeps my offense and defense healthy. That reliability matters during long sessions: fewer mistakes, less swapping, and overall smoother XP-per-hour. That said, it’s not the best option for every single slayer creature. For undead-heavy tasks I’ll drop the Fury for the 'salve amulet' or its enhanced version, because those slayer-specific bonuses often beat Fury’s all-rounders. Likewise, if I’m doing highly specialized boss tasks, sometimes a pricier, purpose-built necklace will push kills per hour higher.
I also think about risk and cost: the Fury is relatively pricey, so if I’m doing very dangerous tasks where deaths are plausible and I’m not rich, I’ll sometimes use a cheaper amulet to avoid a large loss on a skull. On the flip side, when profit or speed matters and death risk is low, wearing Fury is a straightforward DPS and survivability boost. My big piece of practical advice: pick your necklace to match the task — Fury is your dependable default, but swap it when a clear slayer-specific or boss-specific option exists. Overall, for the grindy, everyday slayer you’ll likely enjoy using Fury more than you expect, and it’s a comfy staple in my gear closet.
Are slayer masters osrs affected by task boosting methods?
10 Answers2025-11-06 11:41:37
Honestly, I used to fall for the myth that if I popped a bunch of potions or brought a cannon into the cave, the slayer master would magically notice and hand me a 'better' task. After way too many hours testing things out, I can say with confidence: slayer masters in OSRS don’t change what they assign based on how you plan to fight or how you gear up. What matters for assignments is your Slayer level, your account unlocks, and which master you talk to — not whether you brought a cannon, burst spells, or a slayer helmet for the fight.
That said, those boosting methods absolutely affect how quickly you finish a task and how profitable or enjoyable it feels. Using a cannon, using multi-target spells, or wearing a slayer helmet changes the kill rate and drops, but not the pool of monsters you can be assigned. If you want to manipulate what you get, switching masters or raising Slayer/unlock requirements is the route to steer things, not tactical combat boosts. For me it was freeing to stop trying to “trick” the system and instead optimize the kills themselves — feels way more efficient and less frustrating.
Where can I obtain bonecrusher osrs after Tombs of Amascut?
7 Answers2025-11-06 18:22:31
If you're hunting for the Bonecrusher after 'Tombs of Amascut', here's the practical route I take whenever I want to snag one without overcomplicating things. The primary source is still the loot from 'Tombs of Amascut' itself — it's commonly obtained as a rare drop from the raid. If you can run or join raid teams, that's the most direct way to farm it while also getting other useful rewards. I tend to hop into pickup groups or clan raids for a few runs; drops come in clusters sometimes, and the raid loot pool is the canonical place for it.
That said, you don't have to raid if you're not into it. The Bonecrusher is tradable on the player market, so buying from other players via the Grand Exchange or through direct trades is a fast alternative. Prices fluctuate with supply and updates, so I check the GE price and set buy offers or find a seller in trade chat. If you want to save money, try swapping with raid teams: some groups split loot or sell extra drops after runs.
As a final tip, if you're mainly after its convenience for Prayer training, compare the cost of buying one versus the time saved clicking and banking bones. For me it was worth the purchase — I use it on slayer tasks and longer boss trips and it's paid for itself in quality-of-life. Happy hunting — hope you land one soon, they really make bone-heavy sessions so much smoother.
