Alright i am wondering what Tasks are the worst TASKS in slayer....

 

 

 

From level 70-85

 

 

 

I know this belongs most likely in "Help and advice", but i think that everyone has diffrent oppions on it. So maybe this can be a discuession, either way if you want to move it feel free.

 

 

 

 

So go ahead everyone, tell me your 4 tasks that you hate and why!

There are already a bunch of threads exactly like this one... try to Search before making a new thread next time.

 

 

 

On topic:

 

Black Demons - only task I blacklisted

 

 

 

Others that are distasteful, but still worth doing for variety instead of blacklisting include:

 

Warped Terrorbirds

 

Black Dragons

 

Hellhounds

Scarabites. Falling in a pit trap with 40 hp left (although my ring of life saved me) isn't really pretty.

 

 

 

High-number steel dragon tasks. they seem to take fooorever

 

 

 

Kalphites. Way to crowded

 

 

 

Goraks. They hit hard and are a pain to range

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't blacklisted yet though.

Scabarites have to be one of the worst tasks ever

Steel dragons- to hard and not many, real slow

 

Mithril dragons- never done but probably not ready for yet.

 

Water fiends- Tried them last night for first time, forget it, i hate dual attack monsters

 

Warped terror birds- Using chime stinks on them, multi attack also is terrible.

hellhounds

 

wkeletal wyverns

 

steel dragons

 

kalphites, alothough i wouldnt ban them

I personally don't like

 

Scabarites, black demons, steel dragons. I haven't done Goraks yet, so I don't know about them, but I love skeletal wyverns, and warped terrorbirds aren't that bad. As for Iron dragons, I don't think that they would be as bad as steel dragons since there are alot more of them.

Scabarites and black demons. *shivers*

Greater demons, Scabarites, Wrapped Terrorbirds, Gargoyles.

Black demons, Black dragons, Steel dragons and Hellhounds are the tasks i have blocked, but that's only so because i can not get terrorbird nor scarabs tasks.

Steel dragons (not enough spawns, irons and campers get in the way, uber def)

 

 

 

That's the only task I'm sure about. I'm probably going to block wyverns due to the slowness and need to bank, but I'm not sure yet. I'm considering hellhounds and greaters too... great tasks but just too crowded.

 

 

 

Just to clear up a few misconceptions:

 

 

 

Black Demons - Huge xp, awesome crimson drops, and rune drops *do* pay for p pots. No reason to ever not do this task.

 

Warped terrorbirds - Chiming is annoying, but you once again get massive xp and p pots are covered. They have very low def.

 

Black dragons - Meleeing baby blacks in the chaos tunnels is very fast slayer xp, and decent prayer xp. Or you could solo KBD which is great fun.

 

Scarabites - Cannoning these below Sophanem is some of the fastest slayer xp in the game and the 3rd fastest way to get crimson charms in the game. If you do it correctly you take very little damage.

 

Kalphites - Not as crowded as people think, you can always resort to a low population world without making them a bad task.

 

Goraks - They are cannonable and superbly fast xp.

 

Mithril dragons - A very quick task, with the potential for massive profit. Fun too.

 

Waterfiends - Second fastest crimson charms in the game, with bunyip you need no healing.

 

Gargoyles - Not nearly as bad as people generally think of being, they're profitable and the xp is fine. Plus hawt blue charms

 

 

 

STOP BANNING GOOD TASKS!!! :cry:

i used to hate terror dogs, then i got 2 g helms in a row and now i is happy

i used to hate terror dogs, then i got 2 g helms in a row and now i is happy

I was going to ban thenm, but I tried them and got 4 G helms in a task of 57, then 2 more in a task of 46. Ask anyone on blogschat, I tis not lying.

hellhounds, steel dragons, greater demons(till i get 127 cbt anyways)

My blocked tasks will be Kalphites, Steel Dragons, Hellhounds and Scarabites.

My blacklist:

 

 

 

Skeletal Wyverns; pain to get there, pain to kill them

 

Warped terror(bird)s; very annoying, tried once, won't try again

 

Steel dragons; only few spawns, very slow to kill and irons + campers lurking around

 

Hellhounds; not that bad in wild or gwd, but very boring and slow

 

 

 

Occasional cancels:

 

 

 

Gargoyles; annoying rock hammer thingy, very slow task even in chaos tunnels

Greater Demons

 

Hellhounds

 

Kalphite

 

 

 

I havn't decided what I'll blacklist for the fourth monster.

I only have 2 blocked atm, but I have the 4 I want in my mind.

 

 

 

1- Kalphites (Blocked)

 

 

 

2-Steel Dragons (Blocked)

 

 

 

3-Red Dragons (Gonna Block)

 

 

 

4-Hellhounds (Gonna Block)

Greater Demons

 

Hellhounds

 

Kalphite

 

 

 

I havn't decided what I'll blacklist for the fourth monster.

 

 

 

Kalpets are very easy, the workers that is. u can kill 50 of em in around 5-7 min, you should reconsider that dude:O

Or if you're rich, just break down and cannon them.

 

I haven't done slayer in quite a while (*cough*ftp*cough), but from what I have slayed, I'd consider:

 

Steel dragons: takes forever to kill, only 4 spawns, irons get in the way time to time.

 

That's really about it. Of course, it's not like I can ADD anything else. :lol: (have yet to try)

aberants - just don't like em

 

 

 

kalphites - lousy drops, too crowded, cannon noobs.

 

 

 

metal drags - long distance from bank, supplies, too crowded if you're doing steels.

 

 

 

ankovs - other then clues they drop nothing, also long distance from bank

 

 

 

blk demons - aggressive, high hits, and high hp.

 

 

 

warped beasts - lousy drops, crystal chime requirement, and long distance from bank.

They're right next to a bank if you use spirit tree to teleport to grand exchange...

Once I max melee (95 Strength, last to go), I will cancel black demons until/unless the drop list is improved. They're an awesome melee task with a godsword, and in the Chaos Tunnels you can "safespot" so you're only attacked by one at a time.

 

 

 

Suqahs have poor drops, are too remote (unless on lunar), and have multiple attack styles in a potential multicombat area. They will probably also go.

 

 

 

Jungle horrors are no longer assigned by the top tier slayers, but are worth cancelling due to their terrible, terrible drops, plus the effort required to reach them in the first place.

 

 

 

Re: other people's cancel lists:

 

 

 

Steel dragons are crowded, and if that's your main concern it's a decent cancel.

 

Kalphites are worth canceling if you don't use the missions for KQ slaughter; their drops are terrible and they are a dull grind unless you cannon them.

 

Aberrant Specters have an excellent drop profile overall -- high-priced herbs and herb seeds, adamant platebodies, lava battlestaffs, key halves, black mystic bottom, and loads of good charms.

 

Gargoyles, like Specters, have a good drop profile -- adamant boots, granite maul (had two back-to-back in one task), and black mystic top, as well as being a higher-frequency blue charm dropper.

 

Scabarites have one very good killing spot, nice drops, and can be a quick task if done right.

 

Warped Terrorbirds have excellent drops which can make the pain of dealing with them worth it.

 

Ankous have multiple stacking drops and for that reason alone should be kept and done always.

 

 

 

Obviously your list of hated tasks depends on your priorities. I prefer the monsters who generally speaking drop good stuff; others may just have too high an annoyance factor with how hard certain monsters are to kill, including additional required gear. Others still may just want to avoid the huge crowds that mass at popular, easy creatures.

Personally I blacklisted Abbarent Spectres(sp?) because I'm not high enough level to melee em effectively yet, and dont have slayer helm to cannon them.

 

 

 

I also always cancel red dragons, but besides that I really dont mind any other task.

 

 

 

How do people not like black demons though? They're reallly good xp

My blacklist:

 

 

 

Skeletal Wyverns; pain to get there, pain to kill them

 

Warped terror(bird)s; very annoying, tried once, won't try again

 

Steel dragons; only few spawns, very slow to kill and irons + campers lurking around

 

Hellhounds; not that bad in wild or gwd, but very boring and slow

 

 

 

 

Exactly my choice, I love every other task, they are either great exp, loot or just fun to do!
