Slayer: Tasks to Perma-block

[jayc3399]

Is it true they have fixed chimes to auto do it?

[SirIzenhime]

yes it is, now when you click attack, it auto-chime, assuming you have the chimes with you of course.

I guess I just never understood what people had against these tasks. When ever I get them, I actually get Happy because of how easy and fast they are.

Easy, people probably aren't powerslaying them and without a cannon kaphites and living rocks are boring as hell; hellhounds are hated because of their lack of drops and bad charms and warped tortoises, while they give fast exp, are boring to me and probably many others. Honestly, it all comes down to the way you like slaying and what your priorities are.

Thanks for the insight. I think i might consider unblocking hellhounds now that i can use kuradal. When i initially blocked them, i was using summona and lapalok, thus didnt have access to a decent spawn at a decent location. I hate metal drags, so i will block both irons and steels, but will leave mithrils unblocked. I have done the task once now, and only got 4. It took me all of 5 minutes to do, 1 dose of a ppot and antifire, and 3 monkfish to complete. black demons also seem like a good task to block due to bad drops and them being slow. i imagine i will also block suqahs, although i have never been assigned them as of yet. They seem to be few and far between, with very little reward. my final block will be living rocks. they are so bloody slow to kill without much reward. Thanks for the input.

 

Based on the posts, a popular block list would be:

Iron Dragons

Steel Dragons

Black Demons

Suqahs

Living Rock Creatures

 

I think thats what my list will eventually look like.

Iron dragons are a decent task if you have decent stats, use a LBS if you don't have that great of stats, or have extremes/super antis. I have used a whip and the task is fine, even better if you bank all the bones. I have recently been maging my tasks and they seem to go by quite fast using CoG or Earth Surge.

 

Black Demons are a great task if you cannon them. Suqahs are really fast if you cannon, and you get assigned a very low amount. With your stats it seems you should be able to afford to cannon a few tasks. Steel Dragons are an ok task, i usually mage them and only have a slight loss on them. I agree that the LRC are a slow task, and if you mine them you're wasting time that could be spent on killing the next one.

 

Kalphites are a terrible task. I would only do them if you like to kill the Queen. I know so many high level slayers that don't bother with them since its such a slow task, they also don't like to cannon/have cannon crash them.

[SirIzenhime]

Kalphite soilders are good xp, and rarely cannon crashed :thumbup:

I'm sorry....but some of those numbers just don't look right...is he getting those numbers assuming he's cannoning/combat familiar as much as possible? A lot of those numbers look way to low to me.

[Cptbaker08]

They would be higher seeing as those numbers come from using Super Att/Str and piety and if you can use Extremes and Turmoil they should be higher. But that also means they should all be proportional, except for maybe the dragon tasks as you can use the Super Antifires on those and get much faster kills then before.

[Bladewing]

Those numbers are outdated. xr3d3pmt1on has more up to date numbers. I'll copy 'em.

I don't see how Dags could drop 10k exp/hr from what Zarfot had with lesser abilities. Same for a few other tasks.

Don't block Black Demons there actually a really good task (my favorite). If you just use melee with good armor bunyip and super set (enhanced excalibur is a good replacement for super defence pots) you can do the entire task with just a few sharks. The ones in chaos tunnels drop tons more Crimson Charms, too, so its definitely worth killing them there.

[homowz]

i block: steels, black demons, terrorbirds, wyverns and aquantines (hate those so damn boring)

[neogilgamesh]

My blocks are:

 

1 Hellhounds: They drop nothing but bones, charms, and clues (and ferocious if in kuradel's dungeon)

2 Terror Dogs: This was back when I couldn't make rings of slaying to get to Tarn's lair, so I don't know if they really are worth doing.

3 Black Demons: They take too long and have bad drops for the effort

4 Kalphite: Drops not worth it if choosing the low level ones, takes too long for the guardians with little in the way of loot to show for it, and a major drain on your wallet cannoning them

5 Bloodveld: These were alright but Kuradel got on my nerves with so many assingments of 200 plus. Their drops weren't worth it.

 

In case you haven't guessed my least liked tasks are the ones that yield little wealth or a disproportiantly small amount of wealth for the time put into it. Living rock tasks although taking a long time seem very profitable to me with noted ore and gem drops and mining the remains. Strykewyrms (at least the jungle and desert variety) aren't too dangerous die fairly quickly and give nice noted drops so that the wealth gained is decent even without getting the coveted focus sight (hexcrest not so coveted anymore currently under 500k :P). I just plain love dragon tasks. With blues they die quickly the 100 percent drop is awsome. Black dragons are a little slower but still their 100 percent drop as well as hoping for a visage :pray: .

Why are you blocking steels at your herblore level? They are super fast with super antis, dragon slayer gloves, and zammy spear.

[Anon523]

I do any task besides the 3 strykewrms, luring them out bores me.

[zotto]

I have steel dragons, dagganoths and kalphites blocked.

 

You might wonder why dags and kalphites? Good cannon experience!

 

But I already have 99 slayer and range. Why would I cannon tasks?

[Aiel]

I loves me some gravediggin'.

 

My list is:

 

Wyverns (haven't really tried them, I might swap with jungle strykewyrms)

Black demons (Long Task, boring no drops)

bloodvelds (medicore xp, terrible drops)

Terror dogs (seem bad, no piety, CBA how to learn how)

Suqahs (hard to get to, terrible xp and drops)

 

when I cannon, I unblock black demons, bloodvelds, and suqahs.

[Southpark0o]

I have Warped Terrorbirds blocked.

[Roberthree]

I'm a cannon addict, I live for velds, kalphites, and dags.

 

I block:

Iron dragons (may unblock later, did this when they were only in brimhaven and steels got in your way)

Steel dragons (same as irons, plus the defense is obnoxious. Will stay blocked.)

Hellhounds (decent xp, no drops make me sad though.)

Greater Demons (I don't remember why I blocked these to be totally honest, was ages ago.)
