good assignments bad assignments, what are the odds?

ok before you rush into flaming, im just ranting about how the system is treating me. im on a 85 slayer rush and i've burthroped over 20 assignments

 

before getting brine rats which was a satisfying task that ended the streak. the 20 burthroped assignments, 14 of them were metal drag related so im concluding that these assignments are a lot more common then other assignments, so im asking why are they making these assignments more common when most players burthropes them? i should expect a fair amount of tasks as much as other assignments. i've also noticed that im getting more kalphites and warped assignments way more then fire giants. i've only gotten one of them out the 10+ warped and kalphites. is jagex purposely doing this to prevent 85 slayers from overpopulating? my biggest theory is sheer luck. i dont understand that how many amount of these assignments i get when only a very few assignments that i satisfy.

 

 

 

suggestions on slayer masters would be nice, im using Duradel atm.

It seems to me that every now and then the slayer masters just like to pick some random monster and stick em to the people for a bit. It was Black Demons constantly for a while back

Someone Jagex stated they were switching up the Assignments abit and making stuff more common so I guess thats why.

 

 

 

But which master do you use?

You're using Duradel, who is supposed to be challenging for the high level player (100+). Jagex' way of handling that is obviously giving out tasks to kill high level monsters.

 

You don't say why you don't like doing the dragon tasks: are they too challenging (doubt that), not worth the effort (for 15 steel drags), not quick enough xp?

 

In my experience, but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me, is that after you do one dragon task, you won't get them for a while. Or, try Chealdar the elf for a bit, maybe those tasks suit you better (level 67 lunar spell highly recommended).

Yeah, I have been getting some tough assignments. I got a Turoth task and Burthorped it, the got another Turoth task and Burthorped again. Then I got a Shadow Warrior task. Remember though, you will never get the same assignment twice in a row, so if you get a task you like, go to Burthorpe for another one then go back to the other Slayer master and you could get the good task again.

You Burthorpe Kalphites :shock:. You're not really on a Slayer rush then because if you were, you would be cannoning Kalphite Soldiers. I skip them now too because I'm not in a rush for Slayer exp. But for both my 85 and 90 rushes, I cannoned almost anything I could. It paid off too, I got from 70k away from 83 to 85 in only 8 days and from about halfway between 88 and 89 to 90 in a week.

Kalphites are very good experience.

3rd. 130+ jungle horrors, burthorped for some ice fiends.

Thats quite interesting because the only task that annoys me there is jungle horrors (I do them occasionally though)

 

A tip for the guth healing if you're getting hit to much by the horrors is to heal on the bats, another tip is to take a lobby as emergency food.

 

And it's quite interesting how yo had 14 metal dragon tasks, because since I decided to do iron dragons because of some antifires I have and the posibility of a visage drop I've only gotten one iron task out of about 30-50 other tasks.

Mmyeah, seems to me you're being slightly picky.

 

 

 

No kalphites (fast + great xp), no harpie bugs (ultra fast), no cave horrors, no metal dragons,... What monsters do you like? Seems to me you're not fully appreciating the skill and just want access to abyssal whips :shame:.

I dislike getting to kalphites :/

 

and i like harpie bugs. metals aren't good imo.

 

i mostly kill the little lvl kalphites.. but sigh *back to 99 rc*

 

ps, i like most of tasks. only cae horrors are getting boring, 1stly i liked them

The best way to handle the frustrating tasks from Duradel is to learn to do them.

 

 

 

for instance, I now do Iron Dragons (which accounts for 50% of the dragon tasks). I also do the Dark Beasts and Zygomites (because doing them is actually quicker than having to Bunthorpe)

 

 

 

I know it's too late for you, but I have intentionally avoided doing the new quest so that I wouldn't unlock the new Warped monsters. I only wish I'd thought of that before I did Mourning Ends 2 and unlocked Dark Beasts (which I get really often)

 

 

 

Jungle Horrors, Steel Dragons, and Black dragons are the main ones that I skip.

 

 

 

I've gotta say though... Slaying would be made too easy if any further adjustments were made. I like it the way it is, and hope Jagex don't tinker with it too much futher.

Well said, well said.

 

 

 

Personally, I like slayer the way it is. I just do like harrington; actually do the assignments my masters give me. Consider this: All that time you are burthroping assignments, you could have gotten some great slayer experience from the first monster durael assigned you.

 

 

 

Slayer, I think, was meant to be hard and annoying to train. The good side of slayer, though, is that at higher levels you can fight better monsters with considerably better drops(abyssal demons, dark beasts, ect.).

The only way to enjoy Slayer and train it efficiently is to find something positive about every task and an efficient way to kill them. Obviously that's a lot easier to do with some over others, but just use your imagination. If you just want to mindlessly kill the same monsters that you choose over and over, than don't do Slayer.
