davidium Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i think jagex changed it so that the slayer master can give you the same task consecutively...good and bad i guess depending on whether u like the task...the thing is that after doing it for 5 times in a row you feel like blocking it but you know that you will want to do it again in future...=S maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrallster Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This has been a problem for me too (as im going for that helm, 130 points so far) So I use chaelder, cause his tasks are easier and its still 10 points per task. Ive been getting pretty ok tasks, basilisks and fire giants and the like, and then I get 116 blue dragons. Im like, ok, cool. so I kill about half of them with range, then I switch to meleeing the baby blues. Im done, I go back, and... 124 blue dragons. This time I want to speed it up, so I do only 1 inventory of ranging the lvl 111s and then go back to meleeing the babies. I go back to chaelder, hoping and praying that it won't be a blues task... 1-2-6 b-l-u-e d-r-a-g-o-n-s. Now Im really pissed, but I need that helm, so I do it, purely meleeing the babies. I go back, noose IN HAND in case he assigns me any more $#*#@ dragons. 150 basilisks! yes! something different! I kill them (and turn a handsome 110k profit) and go back to chaelder, feeling good. HE ASSIGNS ME 164 ******* BLUE DRAGONS. (I did the ****** task.) P.s. these events took place over several days, i have a life tbh. Join Epiphany!

wioneo Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I really hope that they change it back to the old way. One of my favorite things about slayer was the way that it broke up the monotony of training. Even getting tasks that I like like 180ish dusties twice in a row irritates me. I've been cancelling all kinds of nice tasks like those since I got my helmet and blacklisted terrorbirds and wyverns(I got my first ever wyvern task with 3k xp left till 83 slayer btw :lol: ) Barrows: 9~2 V Brass,V Flail,2 Dh Plate,V Helm,V Skirt,T Legs,Malevolent Shield + DKing: 48~6 W Ring,13 A Ring,8 M Staff,9 S Ring,7 B Ring,3 SeercullDragon Drops: 500+~50+ Med,26 Axe,3 Chain,10+ Legs,10+ Spear,2 D2h,10+ L Half,49 Boots,2 DDs,10+ Lump,9 Claws,50+ Dagger,14 Visage,50+ Mace,4 Scimitar,7 Hasta,Baxe,50+ Long,30+ Royal,2 Kite,4 Ward,2 Plate,Staff,Hammer,Limbs, Mattock,HalberdGWD: 156~4 S Staff,50+ Shard,9 B Tass,13 B Plate,5 B Boots,6 A Plate,11 S Sword,8 A Hilt,4 A Skirt,9 A Helm,S Hilt,3 B Hilt,B Glove,2 A Buckler,Z Ward,Z Garb,2 Z Boots,B Shield,B Helm Corp: 3~Elysian,2 Sp Sh + Nex: 6~Torva Legs,Cere,P cowl,Z bow,2 T boots + GWD2: 9~2 Glaive,Wand,2 Crest,Blade,2 Essence,Core + Araxyte: 5~Web,3 Pheromone,Fang + Raids: 4~3 Codex,P Boots + Trails: 2~Bob Shirt,Fortunate Etc: 64~3 Sceptre,B Mask,16 Whip,2 Focus Sight,5 D Bow,7 SOL,Ragefire,2 Steadfast,Arma Staff,6 Rider Armor,5 Vine,2 Razorback,2 A Wand,Abby Orb,3 Blood Shard,6 Hydrix,Gland,Asc Xbow [spoiler=Capes]Quest Cape Aquired 12-7-07 ~ Level 93 + + + Completionist Cape Aquired 5-22-15 ~ Level 138Hitpoints Cape Aquired 9-21-09 ~ Level 131 + Magic Cape Aquired 9-24-09 + Attack Cape Aquired 3-5-10 ~ Level 135 + Summoning Cape Aquired 3-12-10Strength Cape Aquired 6-1-11 ~ Level 137 + Fire Cape Aquired 6-23-11 + Defence Cape Aquired 7-5-11 + Ranged Cape Aquired 8-1-11 + Kiln Cape Aquired 2-26-12 ~ Level 138Dungeoneering Cape Aquired 4-22-12 + Slayer Cape Aquired 6-25-14 ~ Level 200 + Herblore Cape Acquired 12-9-14 ~ Level 138 + Prayer Cape Acquired 12-20-14Agility Cape Acquired 1-4-15 + Hunter Cape Acquired 1-30-15 + Construction Cape Acquired 1-31-15 + Crafting Cape Acquired 2-22-15 + Thieving Cape Acquired 3-18-15Runecrafting Cape Acquired 4-14-15 + Mining Cape Acquired 4-19-15 + Fishing Cape Acquired 4-25-15 + Firemaking Cape Acquired 4-26-15 + Woodcutting Cape Acquired 4-26-15Cooking Cape Acquired 4-26-15+ Smithing Cape Acquired 4-28-15 + Farming Cape Acquired 4-29-15 + Divination Cape Acquired 5-3-15 + Dungeoneering Mastery 5-4-15Fletching Cape Acquired 5-4-15 + Max Cape Acquired 5-4-15 + Invention Cape Acquired 11-9-16 + Invention Mastery 5-16-19 + Archaeology Cape Acquired 10-30-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberthree Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 y_anima"]This is why I'm sticking with the 10-task-trick until I get enough points to block stuff. ooo expand on this please? Do 9 canifis tasks and one Shilo village task. Repeat. I get 180 points a day with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahila Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Well, my past few tasks have been: 170 greaters 180 greaters 160 dusties 175 greaters 53 black drags 199 hells (ban listed) 53 more black dragons I see alot of repetitiveness, and i really need a task that will drop me a few good herb seeds for my daily farming runs :x oh well, at least i got a lot of crimson charms http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatebringer Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah, I've noticed that as well. I have been so used to not having tasks the same one after another, because before the update it was impossible, but now, I sort of expect them. But.. 3 Black Demon tasks in a row is not very fun tbh. :cry: But I guess 3 "fun" tasks in a row could be better than 1 fun and 2 annoying tasks. Slayer Update = Amazing in my opinion. 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutenMornig Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 yeah i get this with water fiends which would be awesome but honestly I probably shouldn't be fighting them cause it costs alot of money for the prayer pots and then the super sets and although i do love the crafting/mage exp and cash from the orbs it takes me multiple trips to do them I have 188 of them right now (biggest so far) and I am contemplating canceling/blocking them but i dont wanna use my points :XD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Don't cancel waterfiends. Just learn how to do them effectively. I'm sure sometime in your RS career you'll be hunting them, so why not do a bit now? If you can't kill half of the task in one trip, check your inventory, try out one of the few guides there are on them. It can't take you *that* long to finish a task, right? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just luck really, but the repeated tasks really can get annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderJ Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It does mean for, say, Spiritual Mage hunters, they don't need to do a Burthorpe task for the chance to get another Mage one. Abyssal Demon hunters used to do that, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast647 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Funny how duradel has 99 slayer, but gives failure tasks. I MEAN SHOULDN'T HE KNOW WHAT GOOD TASKS ARE??? Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedman Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Done 6 tasks so far at Duradel and I cant complain. No steel drags yet, one wyvern task, one mith drags task, no doubles.

BabyPunchers Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well for the past week i've been having INSANE amounts of Abyssal Demon tasks. 8 out of the past 11 were Abby Demons. More before that. I'm not complaining,i'm just wondering why Duraedal loves me 3 whips on task now :thumbsup: edit: Make that 4 whips on task =p Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
