Quests for Slayer.

[gorgoroth]

Alright i'm getting pretty serious with Slayer these days. I find it one of the funnest ways of making money. I realised that i might not have all the Slayer Monsters unlocked as some of them require Quests (such as Dark Beasts). My question is, which of the Tasks assigned by Duradel require a task to "unlock" them? Are these quests worth doing? (ie. are the drops from the tasks good enough and is it decent exp?)

 

I know that Dark Beasts require the start of ME2, and thats about all i know.

Smoking Kills is a great quest to use because it allows you to accumulate points for slaying AND access the smoke dungeon and make the slayer helm. I can't imagine any big time slayers haven't done it, but it's worth saying.

 

Check into Doric's Quest also; I think you need it for Skeletal Wyverns.

 

Also, if you haven't done Fairy Tale II you can't use Fairy rings, which is critical to reach altenative abyssal demons.

Must've started lunar diplomacy to get suqahs, you've also gotta start fairy tale part 2 to access goraks on the gorak plane. Must've done The Path of Glouphrie for warped terrorbirds, i havent done that quest purely so i dont get them!! :unsure:

There are quite a few Duradel tasks that can only be "unlocked" after a quest. There are some you may not want to be assigned, as well. There are also some new locations or monster variants that are unlocked by quests.

 

Abberant Spectres: Doing the Smoking Kills quest unlocks a multi-combat location with lots of monsters that can be cannoned.

Goraks: These are much easier to kill at the fairy ring DIR, which requires FTP2 to be started.

Mithril Dragons: These can only be killed after completion of the barbarian training at Baxtorian lake.

Scarabite Minions: These are unlocked after the Contact! quest, I believe. Most people do not like this task until they complete the Missing My Mummy quest, when you unlock a room of easy lvl 42's.

Suqahs: These require the Lunar Diplomacy quest to be completed.

Warped Terrorbirds: This is another task hated by most slayers. They are unlocked after The Path of Glouphrie quest.

 

I also highly advise doing the Smoking Kills quest, as a whole bunch of slayer rewards can be gained from it.

 

Hope this helps. :smile:

Ive heard that Scarabites drop a fair ammount of good charms (either blue or crimson, i cant remember).

Also ive hear that T-Birds are failry decent money?

Only the big annoying Scarabrites drop good charms. The minions, which make for a faster task, drop only coins.

 

T-Birds are okay money, but they are very annoying to fight and hit much harder than you'd think.

They don't hit hard at all. If you flick protect range for literally 2 seconds they either safespot themselves or switch to melee.

I do tasks of them using 2 bunyip pouches, about 10 monkfish and SGS nothing more. Only praying if they start to range me (maybe 1 or 2 extra prayer doses when compared to a normal task, ie using 10% att/str prayers).

Thats without using a single super defence or defence potion, EE spec, brews or anything else to improve my defence.

There range is the one which hits hard, but there melee is pretty weak (12 is the max I believe and its inaccurate) and with just barrows and rune defender I at 85 defence don't have any trouble. Hell I always use a god cloak.

The chimes and lack of charms is annoying, but there fairly good exp and decent drops (230k and 300k profit on my last 2 task of them which both took about 60 to 70 mins).

You only get Goraks assigned if you complete Fairy Tale Part 2. You only need to start it to get the fairy rings. I've almost 95 slayer and that is how it is with me.

 

From what i hear Goraks aren't a terrible task to do.

They're decent, no special equipment needed to kill them besides a lunar/dramen staff and you can just wear basic melee armour. The only different thing about them is that they slowly drain your stats, but with a regular restore potion this is negated. I can easily be beaten with one yip pouch, though it takes me 2 trips since I bank all the gems :rolleyes: .
