Pitac83 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ok, so I am going to start using Duradel as a slayer master instead of summona. I will be ranging all of my tasks(96 Range, 77 Slayer) What tasks should I block? I was thinking of blocking Iron and Steel Dragons, Black Demons, and Kalphites. Last question...how many quest points do you need to be able to block 4 monsters? I have 200 at the moment. That's all, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieuanty Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 don't block black deamons great ranging spot in edge and in taverly and there are much worse tasks for range like maybe abberant spectres no range spots as they use mage : drops worthy of note: karils top slayer drops: 1 g maul 2 adamant boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well those task are about the best ones to range. If you are going to use a cannon then don't block kalphites or black demons. I block steels cuz they're a real pain to kill. At your range level iron drags shouldnt be much of a hassle. You need a minimum of 200 QPs to block 4 task, gj :thumbsup: . Besides steels i also have hellhounds blocked, and kalphites because they are a pain and don't wanna waste my time cannoning them when i rather have quick, possibly profit, tasks. don't block black deamons great ranging spot in edge and in taverly and there are much worse tasks for range like maybe abberant spectres no range spots as they use mage : These are also good to cannon in the Polli Dungeon, just pray magic prot. and cannon away [hide=Drops]Slayer:Draconic Visage x3, Abyssal Whip x23, Dark Bow x3, Dragon Platelegs x3, Dragon Boots x40, Dragon Plateskirt x4, Shield Left Half x3, Dragon Medium Helms x10GWD:CS: Zamorakian Spear x2, Zamorak Hilt x1, Bandos Chestplate x1, Sara Sword x1DKs: Dragon Hatchet x3 Beserker Ring x1[/hide][hide=Completed Goals]Achieved April 26, 2009Achieved Sept. 15, 2009Achieved Nov. 21, 2009 Jan. 10, 2010 Achieved Mar. 5, 2010[/hide][hide=Goals][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind abberant spectres. I actually like ranging them. Well those task are about the best ones to range. If you are going to use a cannon then don't block kalphites or black demons. I block steels cuz they're a real pain to kill. At your range level iron drags shouldnt be much of a hassle. You need a minimum of 200 QPs to block 4 task, gj :thumbsup: . Besides steels i also have hellhounds blocked, and kalphites because they are a pain and don't wanna waste my time cannoning them when i rather have quick, possibly profit, tasks. I stopped using the cannon a while back. Guess iron dragons aren't so bad... I wont block hells though. I like doing clue scrolls. So now...here's my new list: Steel Dragons Kalphites Dunno what else to block...any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureprayer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Kalphites are good for ranging, (see blue dot alone in room) there is a safespot for level 85 workers there on the west side of the room. Its not bad. Pureprayer, you're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitac83 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 That room is where most people go to cannon them. They get pretty boring after a while and don't really drop anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlorp Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've blocked: Steel Dragons Iron Dragons Warped Terrorbirds Black Demons The dragons are blocked because I just hate waiting in line and logging different worlds to get to a decent spot. Black Demons because they're just so annoying and boring. Warped Terrorbirds more for the annoyance I remember from doing the quest. Are those the best ones to block for my current skills and equipment? Not really. I haven't rethought the list since I picked up Bunyips and got Ranged over 80. Dagannoths and Kalphites? Incredibly boring but satisfying to knock off with about 1500 cannonballs. Skeletal Wyverns? I only do them because I think just maybe I'll get that visage drop. Mithril Dragons? Fortunately always less than 10 per task. I get three per trip using Slayer Dart and will get better at it fine tuning styles and equipment choices. Once you've bought your permablocks and 3 slayer skill upgrades, is there anything really to buy with points besides the runes? Does anyone actually redeem 400 points as slayer exp?

Phrost Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That room is where most people go to cannon them. They get pretty boring after a while and don't really drop anything good. That's true. I love kalphite tasks though as they're really great xp with cannoning. Sure, I'm losing like 80k on a task but I'll be making profits while on other tasks anyway so it's not bothering me. Also, you could pick up the potato cactus which spawns there to make ur loss minimal. I wouldn't block kalphites if you want fast slay xp. I get my 180-ish task done in about 30 minutes. Anyway, here's my blocklist: (got 3 blocks only cause I have low qps) Steel Dragons Greater Demons - unblocking once i get to 127 combat. Will block Black Demons then Iron Dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metu Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The tasks that you dislike the most. Yeah, this guy is actually pretty right. Just don't block anything yet, and after a while you'll realise which tasks you regret most of getting. Then block those :thumbsup: AwF_Suir1 in-gameClick here to read about RuneScape Must-Haves!

BabyPunchers Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I took a look at my exp Rates and found the tasks with the lowest exp. I came up with Mithril Dragons Steel Dragons Iron Dragons Black Dragons Red Dragons. In order from least exp/hour to highest. Everything else had pretty decent rates. The rates are around 30k per hour for Iron,Black, and Red and around 23k per hour for Steel and Mithril.(They are the same exp per hour because of the general lack of available spots for steels and the abundance of Mithrils) Of the 5, I reccomend blocking all but Mithrils as you only get like 8 per task and it's quick points, and takes like 20 minutes. Hope I helped. : 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.

If so, I think it would be better to just cancel them. Oh and I think I kinda like Iron dragons a little. I don't mind killing Black Dragons either.

Ha i'm sorry, I had completely forgotten that you were switching to Duradel when looking at rates. Duradel doesn't assign Reds. : Oh and as for Black Dragons, kill the baby ones in the Chaos Tunnels, but with a decent familiar, I clocked in around 65k-70k exp per hour.
