No flame wars on this thread please, everything that I said is just my own experience, I'm not stating anything, so don't flame about that...

 

 

 

Good morning everyone, the above title is pretty much self explanatory and I just wanted to know if other people agree with the title, just based on your own experience.

 

 

 

I personally seem to get better drops when I'm killing monsters for a slayer task, rather than just killing for xp, without slayer.

 

 

 

A few weeks ago I killed 1315 Steel Dragons with fire bolt, just for magic xp. I didn't get a single dragon drop, which is rather pathetic isn't it? Next I decided to get my attack up with slayer again and quit the metal dragons with magic. Once in a while I get iron or steel drags for my slayer, and I don't skip them, but I just kill them, for their dragon drops and clues. So far I killed approximately 400 iron/steel dragons (150 steels, 250 irons) and I have gotten 3 d legs, 1 skirt and 1 left half, pretty an amazing difference right?

 

 

 

The same goes for the Dagganoth Kings. As a GoF member I do DK's quite often, mainly solo trips. In the past 8 solo trips (that is about 200 Dagganoth Rex's), I didn't get a single DK drop, yesterday I for the first time in months got Dagganoths for slayer again and I decided to do another DK trip, this time I took my friend who never done it before. Some lurers came in, so we actually had to tele earlier than we expected, still we got 2 warriors and 1 berserker ring (we both had some of the drops, but I got all the 3 DK drops (he doesn't have them for slayer, I do, weird or just luck?). The trip lasted for as long as a normal solo trip would take, we now only killed a few more rex's since with 2 people you simply can kill more in a certain period of time.

 

 

 

I have a few other examples where I seem to get better drops when I kill monsters for slayer, instead when I kill them just for the fun.

 

 

 

So what do you think? Did you experience the same thing a few times?, or did you never actually had anything like this. Please post what you think :)

Meh, I don't really notice a big difference.... But several of my friends swear that they get significantly more whips during Abby Assignments than normally.

No. I've never had a whip while on a task.

:| same.. i useally get 1 whip in like 400+ kills without and assigment.. when i do an assigment i sometimes get 1-2 i got to agree with you

I noticed that sometimes, although I only get more loot like rune mediums and stuff like that. I also seem to get less clue scrolls while on task.

Hmmm, wonder if i get a chain then, becaus i have 126 Dust Devil task.

No.

 

 

 

I've killed thousands upon thousands of iron dragons for both taks and for not and the best drop I've had is probably a clue. I'm not exaggerating either.

Maybe...

From my experiances, no. But I also never kill slayer monsters unless I'm assigned to them..

 

 

 

Although, the only dragon drop I ever had: I was assigned iron dragon, and I finished the task. I still had some anti-fire and prayer pots left, so I decided to kill a couple more dragons. I kill a steel dragon, and it drops me a dragon skirt.

 

 

 

Aside from that, on Aberrant Specter tasks I have had alot of lava staff drops. When they first came out I was killing everything I knew dropped them to get one with no luck.

 

 

 

 

 

I think that answer your question

I tend to disagree with jagex. It seems i get better drops on an assignment.

You can't disagree with the people who made the game, now your just being ignorant. #-o

I think it would be lol HAHAHAHA if you could only get drops on assignment.

 

 

 

TRAIN!!!

 

 

 

But alas it isn't true.

 

 

 

I also don't wear row as it makes you get too many gem/key/dragon drops most often gem.

 

 

 

A gem drop is a wasted kill. I use Beserker ring.

hmmmm, is my 6 trip DK dry streak a coincidence, after seeing this, maybe not...

I also tend to disagree with Jagex. How many times does Jagex state their opinion about a certain issue, when like everyone knows that not everything they are telling is right.

Dude, you cant be serious there...

 

What on earth is Jagex' intrest to lie to you on this issue?

 

Jagex don't state their opinion, Jagex,as the game devlopers can tell for a fact if its there or not.

Just luck, i think.

I have to disagree on this one, in my slayer history I probably killed over 200 irons and not 1 dragon drop, never anything better than bloods or rune limbs.

I've been wondering the same thing for a while. I did about 500 cave horrors in the hope of a mask with no luck. I get assigned them, and I do less than 100 with a mask and left-half drop in one session. :shock:

 

 

 

The only times I've had d drops from steelies have always been on assignment.

 

 

 

Aberrant spectres on seem to drop black mystic bottoms and lava staffs more when assigned as a task, although I have had lava staffs when I've been there simply to stock up on herbs and seeds. :-s

 

 

 

I get the feeling that if you are assigned to a task, you have a better chance of a good drop. Maybe there is more to it than Jagex are letting on. This theory isn't far fetched when you remember that this is similar to the effect a ring of wealth is supposed to have. :

No. I've never had a whip while on a task.

 

 

 

same, in the last 3 weeks i have had 17 abby tasks, which adds up to about 3k abbys, not one single whip drop, and I even made a new wealth before each of the last 7 abby tasks...no whip

 

 

 

now when it comes to metals, back in the day when I was pounding them every night on a weekly basis, I averaged 2 drops a week, with a personal best of 4 drops one week, 2 of which were 4 drags apart. Never on task back then, just did them relentlessly using prayer and melee. Always dropped legs and skirts for me. I got my very fist d med from an iron, while on task last week, and have only gotten one dragon half shield, and that was on task (dont remember which monster). so who knows, its all random.

since the monster is destigished(sp) and by killing them your slayer levels then on a different monster with no slayer xp(aka assignment) I would think the drops might increase

RANDOM.

 

 

 

Some people just don't get it. Just because you get lucky at slayer tasks doesn't mean Jagex wasted 2 weeks on adding a seperate drop rate for slayer tasks. If you kill a slyer monster the game just registers X slayer xp and removes one "to kill" monster from your task.

I also tend to disagree with Jagex. How many times does Jagex state their opinion about a certain issue, when like everyone knows that not everything they are telling is right.

Jagex don't state their opinion, Jagex,as the game devlopers can tell for a fact if its there or not.

 

 

 

Idk why they would lie about this issue, but there's so many things Jagex did that makes me thing, why on earth did they do that, it's of no use, and it only makes it worse. Such as the pure ess idea, Jagex seems to be slightly arrogant in some way, they only want to create things they made themselves, if anything is not made by themselves they get mad and ban it (such as swiftswitch a few months ago). Jagex doesn't act as logical as we think they should, and when I look at some replies there's some very clear examples that suggest that slayer tasks increase chances of drops

'Tis true!

 

 

 

When I get Drags I usually don't even get a clue! But then when by chance I get them as a slayer task. BAM! Along comes a clue and decent drops.

 

 

 

Perhaps Slayer tasks are like wearing an IMPROVED Ring of wealth? :anxious: :thumbsup:

If you want to make such claims, you have to slay a significant amount of monsters to be sure. Drops like dragon legs are rare, and thus require a lot of monsters killed to be able to distinguish between luck and a bias.

 

 

 

I'd say, kill 20k abyssal monsters while not being on a task, and kill 20k abyssals without the task. Perhaps then you can draw a statistically relevant conclusion. Doubt anyone is going to do that though :lol:
