[JohnTheCop]

Which master should i use, stats in sig ask any questions u need to answer the question+ what tasks should i block?

 

Thanks,

[xpx]

Depends on what you are looking for in slayer, if it's fastest xp with cannon etc, it's likely sumona/chaeldar, if you want longer tasks and higher level/better drop monsters, it's duradel/lapalok. Theres really no ''one size fits all'' until kurdal.

[JohnTheCop]

alright so im not going to be cannoning/pietying for the fastest xp but i am loooking to get to 72 slayer reasonably fast with profit being not important but i dont want to loose lots of money either

[Obtaurian]

Then just use the highest master you can.

[JohnTheCop]

ahem so that being durdeal. next question what to block?

[Quyneax]

We had a thread on this while back... basically you block what annoys you. I personally don't block or skip any tasks (as a personal challenge, it's not efficient). Slow tasks include metal dragons (except mithril, as you get only a few of those per task); unprofitable tasks include black demons.

[jayc3399]

I block black demons because I can't stand them and Suqahs because they are so annoying to do, Terror Dogs and Kalphites will be on my list once I get them.

[JohnTheCop]

i like ur list cuz i hate all those too ^

[Ruggig]

But black demons are quite good xp and gives alot of crimsons.

[JohnTheCop]

while thats true there annoying and i always get like 200 of em

[Quyneax]

With a cannon that's a lovely amount, it runs out too soon.

[xpx]

I personally think blocking what you don't enjoy doing makes the most sense as slayer is bound to get monotonous in a while. If you get to kurdal you get almost enough points(28 per task on average) to cancel as many tasks as you do, so blocking the most frequent+ annoying tasks will make sense(for best xp+drops, but some people have other strategy's).

[MstrMonopoly]

Personally, I enjoy everything but Kalphites and Blue Dragons. The rest are a-ok.

[JohnTheCop]

how many points does kurdal give?

I say block kalphites. They have no drops, no charms, and there are much better tasks to cannon if you're going to cannon. I mean, unless you really like fighting the KQ, I guess.

I block black demons because I can't stand them and Suqahs because they are so annoying to do, Terror Dogs and Kalphites will be on my list once I get them.

How can anyone hate Suqahs? Go to the south of the island in a little area with two spawns, make sure auto-retaliate is on, go make a sandwich and come back when the task is done. If you're really ambitious you can check the piles of bones for clue scrolls every once in a while.

 

Well maybe not quite that easy, but I'm not really exaggerating very much either.

That's the slow way to kill them, better off cannoning the ones just northeast of the bank.

 

Suqah tasks are generally short, boring and unfulfilling. If you cannon them they provide an okay, yet not amazing exp rate. All comes down to preference, I guess.

block terror birds/turtles/i got steel dragons/blk dragons/waterfiends/blk demons blocked atm use shilo master

[Obtaurian]

Block what annoys you, but be reasonable. Black demons, for example, are a great task and are always worth doing.

[JohnTheCop]

alright so im going to use shilo master and i plan on blocking

 

1. blk demons

2. and 3. the terrors

4. black dragons?

[Elf Spice]

I would keep black demons, they drop lots of crims. Terrorbirds are annoying enough to block but tortoises are pretty lucrative, so might want to keep them at least. Consider blocking steels/wyverns

[Troacctid]

Terrorbirds aren't assigned by Kuradal, so as soon as you hit 75 you'll just remove them anyway. Probably not the best use of slayer points.

Actually terrorbirds are a very good task; they pay for the prayer potions, have lowish defence and high health, they're agressive and in a multicombat area with several spawns quite close. It's the tortoises that are slow, because of the lousy 2 spawns you're stuck with.
