Those are the ones that I personally block, Mithril Dragons come in such small numbers they are honsetly a break from the grind, and scarabites can either be an amazing source of crimson charms or a fast task using the scarabs from Missing My Mummy. Really, it mostly comes down to the tasks you hate.

[Cptbaker08]

* Aberrant Spectres

 

* Abyssal Demons

 

* Aquanites

 

* Black Demons <- Also got these block. Should probably take them off.

 

* Black Dragons

 

* Bloodvelds

 

* Dagannoths

 

* Dark Beasts

 

* Dust Devils

 

* Fire giants

 

* Gargoyles

 

* Goraks

 

* Greater Demons

 

* Hellhounds <- Blocked do to lack of drops. Out of the way to kill.

 

* Iron Dragons

 

* Kalphites <- Blocked do to being such a hassle to kill, even with a cannon.

 

* Mithril Dragons

 

* Nechryaels

 

* Scabarite minions

 

* Skeletal wyverns <- Usually skip these as i don't like them.

 

* Spiritual Mages

 

* Steel Dragons <- blocked due to some high tasks and high defenses make them hard to kill. Also campers are bad

 

* Suqahs

 

* Warped Terrorbirds

 

* Waterfiends

 

 

 

These are the tasks Duradel gives. I was thinking of blocking Iron Dragons, Steel Dragons, Mithril Dragons and Scabarite minions.

 

The rest are quite easy to do, unless you get 185+ of them. But still great tasks nonetheless.

[intervention]

Geaters untill 127

 

steel dragons

 

those are the must really

 

 

 

warped terrorbirds are annoying but if done right are good exp and cash.

 

hellhounds don't drop anything but charms and clue but are decent exp.

 

Iron dragons depend on personal opinion, mine is that they can be fun but can also be annoying.

 

scarabite minions were explained above.

 

aquanites hit hard but can be profitable.

 

Skeletal wyverns I find annoying but some people enjoy.

 

 

 

they're probably the worst ones.

[Bladewing]

I'd block:

 

• [*:3pnz4h3z]Steel Dragons - slow experience, rubbish drops, spread out[*:3pnz4h3z]Iron Dragons - same as above, but not spread out[*:3pnz4h3z]Aquanites - slow kills, bad drops, and they hit hard

 

 

 

The last one could be greaters if you're under 127, or black dragons, or skeletal wyverns, or some other task you hate (I have kalphites blocked.)

[Dax]

Greaters? Why block them? They're awesome, plus with the Wilderness Volcano, they go by so quickly.

[Jaffy1]

The following includes my personal opinion based on how hard the creatures are and what they drop. Of course you should block the tasks you dislike the most.

* Aberrant Spectres -Very doable, no need

 

* Abyssal Demons -Fair drops, too hard?

 

* Aquanites -Worth the trouble?

 

* Black Demons -Not hard, fair drops.

 

* Black Dragons - Only if you really hate them.

 

* Bloodvelds - Fair assignment, fair experience (one of my favourites but I'm of lower combat than you are). I range them in godwards and take some aviansies while I'm there anyways.

 

* Dagannoths - Chaos tunnels for solo?

 

* Dark Beasts -

 

* Dust Devils -Good crimson drops, fair experience.

 

* Fire giants - Good assignment, no need.

 

* Gargoyles

 

* Goraks

 

* Greater Demons - Fairly easy experience, no need to block.

 

* Hellhounds - Crappy drops but easy (ranged?) experience.

 

* Iron Dragons -This would be a task quite a few people block. Personally I don't mind them.

 

* Kalphites - Fair charms, good to cannon if you're into that.

 

* Mithril Dragons - Too hard?

 

* Nechryaels

 

* Scabarite minions

 

* Skeletal wyverns Quite doable

 

* Spiritual Mages - If you want to go through the trouble of going there.

 

* Steel Dragons - This would be a task quite a few people block, much like iron dragons.

 

* Suqahs

 

* Warped Terrorbirds

 

* Waterfiends - This is an assignment I personally dislike and would block.

 

 

 

These are the tasks Duradel gives. I was thinking of blocking Iron Dragons, Steel Dragons, Mithril Dragons and Scabarite minions.

[onedaysoon]

Defs block Steel dragons and Hellhounds, and Kalphites to if your not using a cannon.

[JoeDaStudd]

Mine used to be;

 

Steel Dragons

 

Iron Dragons

 

Hellhounds

 

Greater Demons

 

 

 

After about 20 or so black demon tasks and with the wildy volcano I've replaced Greaters with Blacks.

 

They take so long to kill, must be prayed on and have a fairly high defense.

[ultimatballr]

I block the following:

 

 

 

• 
   
  [*:lylri24k]Steel Dragons- Because they are slow exp.
   
  [*:lylri24k]Skeletal Wyverns- Because I do not like them.
   
  [*:lylri24k]Aquanites- Becuase the tasks are very long and they hit rather consistently to be done without a Uni and EE.
   
  [*:lylri24k]Waterfiends- Only because the best way to kill them is with a Str weapon and I don't want any str exp. They are a great task otherwise.

 

 

 

I currently do not slay very often though. When I do I may un-block Waterfiends (and just use a whip) and Aqua's (when I get 88 summoning).

 

 

 

Iron dragon tasks are not to long with melee and mith dragon tasks come in such low numbers it'd be foolish to block them.

 

 

 

Scarabite tasks can literally take under 10 minutes, very foolish to block them.

[AlexRn]

* Abyssal Demons

 

* Aquanites

 

* Black Demons

 

* Black Dragons

 

* Bloodvelds

 

* Dagannoths

 

* Dark Beasts

 

* Dust Devils

 

* Fire giants

 

* Gargoyles - can be block if you hate the hammer too much

 

* Goraks

 

* Greater Demons

 

* Hellhounds <- block, bad drops

 

* Iron Dragons

 

* Kalphites <- they are annoying

 

* Mithril Dragons

 

* Nechryaels

 

* Scabarite minions

 

* Skeletal wyverns

 

* Spiritual Mages

 

* Steel Dragons <- slow xp and kills

 

* Suqahs

 

* Warped Terrorbirds <- chimes are annoying

 

* Waterfiends

 

 

 

These are the tasks Duradel gives. I was thinking of blocking Iron Dragons, Steel Dragons, Mithril Dragons and Scabarite minions.

[Cptbaker08]

I block the following:

 

 

 

• 
   
  [*:urqk733g]Steel Dragons- Because they are slow exp.
   
  [*:urqk733g]Skeletal Wyverns- Because I do not like them.
   
  [*:urqk733g]Aquanites- Becuase the tasks are very long and they hit rather consistently to be done without a Uni and EE.
   
  [*:urqk733g]Waterfiends- Only because the best way to kill them is with a Str weapon and I don't want any str exp. They are a great task otherwise.

 

 

 

I currently do not slay very often though. When I do I may un-block Waterfiends (and just use a whip) and Aqua's (when I get 88 summoning).

 

I just did a task of waterfiends (175 of them) and as i'm very close to 99 def (whats 900k exp anyway). Since i rather def exp instead of str or controlled i tried a whip+rune defender. To my surprise it worked great. Of course the Sara Sword made it faster, but only by about 15% from what i was told. And that's with 99 attack and 91 strength and Super-potting.

[essiw]

 

* Black Demons

 

* Warped Terrorbirds

 

 

those two are very annoying (black demons take so long... I always got task near the 200)

[Fools_Taco]

when i was leveling slayer i blocked:

 

 

 

1: Spirit mages. they took to long and i didn't care about the money anymore i just wanted the dam cape.

 

2: Kalphites: There is only one spot to kill them and it just causes arguments. i don't have time to argue with a noob.

 

3: Steel dragons: These just take to long, i wouldn't have blocked them if there were more of them.

 

4: Hellhounds. Same reason as kalphites.

 

 

 

Do iron dragons, they can be a real payoff. Consider how many you will have to kill otw to 99.

 

All the irons i killed payed for half my prayer cape from the visages.

[P4duke]

* Aberrant Spectres

 

* Abyssal Demons

 

* Aquanites - Slow xp, lousy drops, they hit hard

 

* Black Demons - Slow xp, they don't pay for cannoning

 

* Black Dragons

 

* Bloodvelds

 

* Dagannoths

 

* Dark Beasts

 

* Dust Devils

 

* Fire giants

 

* Gargoyles

 

* Goraks

 

* Greater Demons

 

* Hellhounds - Totally useless.

 

* Iron Dragons

 

* Kalphites - Lousy drops, crowded at peak times, decent xp

 

* Mithril Dragons

 

* Nechryaels

 

* Scabarite minions

 

* Skeletal wyverns

 

* Spiritual Mages

 

* Steel Dragons *points at Bottom of the post - See drops*

 

* Suqahs

 

* Warped Terrorbirds

 

* Waterfiends

 

 

These are my the monsters I would block - Currently, I can block (and have blocked only 3)

[Bladewing]

when i was leveling slayer i blocked:

 

 

 

1: Spirit mages. they took to long and i didn't care about the money anymore i just wanted the dam cape...

 

Spirit mage task takes 5 minutes prep/walking and 30 minutes killing. Very quick.

These are the tasks Duradel gives. I was thinking of blocking Iron Dragons, Steel Dragons, Mithril Dragons and Scabarite minions.

[J35u5_M4]

Mithrils are fast, same as Scarabites (Do the Missing My Mummy quest and you can kill lv 48 scarabites and do the task in about 15 minutes)

 

 

 

You should consider blocking Warped Terrobirds unless you want to cannon + pray

 

 

 

Kalphites are annoying too if you don't cannon

 

 

 

My personal blocks are Kalphites, Warped Terrobirds and Steel Dragons

I think you put cannonable beside the wrong creature. Can't take a cannon into the Slayer Tower and i don't believe you can take it into the Alt Abyss. And if you could, it would probably be a bad idea.

 

 

 

Also if you cannon other tasks, you should cannon the Black Demons. Probably the 3rd or 4th best crimson droppers. Cannon makes them much quicker, also using a Halbard or ranging them make it even faster. And some of the drops can pay for them. Rune Chains alch for about 31k and you can get maybe 2-3 a task. I rarely get one though :( .

[Draconic]

* Aberrant Spectres

 

* Abyssal Demons - Cannonable in the PSD, can be tanked int he ST if you have a unicorn. They are great herb droppers, do not skip these!

 

* Aquanites - I was excited when I got my first task. On my second, I got a Amulet of Ranging. It never sold, I had to sell it for 400K+a bunch of calquat seeds. It is commonly clan-merched. The monsters themselves hit hard and accurately, even through Karil's

 

* Black Demons - Cannon this in the TD. They are decently fast, are great charms and have okay drops. If you don't cannon, you can prayer them in the CT. It's slow though, so it might be worth skipping. But you should cannon if you want a high slayer level.

 

* Black Dragons - Babies in the CT are fast. The adults are slow, but you can make a good bit of money.... slowly; with the uber rare chance of a Visage. The KBD is a fun little break from slayer crunching, but don't do an entire task of them...

 

* Bloodvelds - If you have done those Myrquere quests, you can cannon the mutated version (or the normal versions... but don't do that) for insanely fast exp. If you don't want to cannon or haven't done the quests, you can do them in the ST, but it's crowded.

 

* Dagannoths - I kill these in the CT. You need to prayer, but they give good charms and you will profit much more than the Lighthouse ones (unless you get a Snap seed or two, but I wouldn't bet on it). You can also cannon them in the Lighthouse fo rthe fastest slayer exp around. Don't skip these.

 

* Dark Beasts - No idea.

 

* Dust Devils - Fast, and the chance of a chain drop. But don't bet on it. Kill them in the CT.

 

* Fire giants - Somewhat afkable in the CT room near the rock crabs. Uncrowded there too. WATCH YOUR HP, as you'll have +3 attacking you at once. You should have good defence for this. Alternatively, you could kill them in the waterfall, but it's crowded. You can cannon them there too, but I don't do it personally. Don't skip these.

 

* Gargoyles - Kill in the CT. Some people don't like using the hammer, but it really isn't that bad... you have the chance of a Granite maul drop, which will pay for a bit over 1k cannonballs. I wouldn't skip these.

 

* Goraks- Are assigned in low numbers and are cannonable. You can also get a lot of gems, and a couple half keys. Don't skip these. They do require a bit of food, however.

 

* Greater Demons - Even at -127 combat, these are fine. The wild dogs are only aggressive for ~10 minutes, and then it goes by fairly fast. You can kill these in the wilderness valcano, too.

 

* Hellhounds - Due to their lack of drops, and since they only drop gold charms and clues, I blocked these. They're not very fast, either.

 

* Iron Dragons - Slow and out of the way. I blocked these.

 

* Kalphites - If you don't have a cannon, these are a canidate for blockage.

 

* Mithril Dragons - These are assigned in VERY low numbers. It's a nice break from other monsters. I've never gotten a single task, though...

 

* Nechryaels - In the middle of my first task of these. They're not very fast, but not horribly slow and they can make good money with their rune and clue drops. They're also great crimson charms. Don't skip these.

 

* Scabarite minions - If you do Missing My Mummy, you can kill the weak ones for a very fast task.

 

* Skeletal wyverns - Slow, but I like them. You'll use a bit of food, however, but don't pray against them. Good drops as well.

 

* Spiritual Mages - I've only pied them, but the Zamorak one are fast and profitable. You'll get 2-3 boots per task, usually. Don't skip these.

 

* Steel Dragons - I have these blocked. Quite possibly the worst task ever. Slow, and bad drops unless you get their good ones. Block them ASAP.

 

* Suqahs - These are fast with a cannon. Even without a cannon, they're still fast. Get some astral altar teleport tabs from the Runecrafting guild for fast access to the island.

 

* Warped Terrorbirds - If you cannon them, they're somewhat fast. No clues or charms though. If you don't have a cannon, these are a canidate for blockage. Good drops, though.

 

* Waterfiends - I skip these. I want slayer exp more than summoning exp, and these guys are slow.

 

 

 

These are the tasks Duradel gives. I was thinking of blocking Iron Dragons, Steel Dragons, Mithril Dragons and Scabarite minions.

[Cptbaker08]

Ok you CANNOT cannon Abyssal Demons at all. You can cannon Aberrant Spectres though. And if you could cannon Demons, it would be pointless to do so.
