Ezkaton Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Now my friends - mostly Octarine and Drazhar44 - have been pestering me to sort out my block list. But I'm not too sure what to block exactly. I do have tasks I dislike, but some of them are good exp. I'll whack down what I do, and then ask you guys... What's your block list like? I use Kuradal all the time btw. Aberrant Spectres - CannonAbyssal Demons - PietyBlack Demons - CannonBlack Dragons - CannonBlue dragons - WhipBloodvelds - CannonDagannoths - CannonDark Beasts - PietyDesert Strykewyrms - CannonDust Devils - Whip (Thinking of blocking)Fire giants - Cannon Gargoyles - PietyGreater Demons - WhipHellhounds - CannonIce Strykewyrms - 890k exp away... Obviously going to mage and cannon?Iron Dragons - PietyJungle Strykewyrms - CannonKalphites - BlockedLiving Rock creatures - CannonMithril Dragons - PietyNechryaels - PietySkeletal wyverns - Cannon (Thinking of blocking... but have good crim drops)Spiritual Mages - WhipSteel Dragons - PietySuqahs - CannonTerror dogs - BlockedTzHaar - WhipWarped Tortoises - Whip (Thinking of blocking)Waterfiends - Piety So what do you guys advise?

pulli23 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Block tasks which you dislike.. Even if they're the best xp ever. Because fun > xp. I myself block kalphites, hellhounds, black demons & black dragons. Can't stand the low-drop ratio.. First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Quyneax Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Terror dogs aren't that bad, you can use a combat familar and they are fast points for cancelling stuff. Strykes are terrible xp (except ice) and charms but drop elites, so it's what you like. Warped torts have only 2 spawns, so you have a) competition and b) overall slow task. Don't block wyverns or dusties because of the charms. You can also use a combat familar (geyser) to kill them faster.

BloodAngel Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'd suggest blocking Jungle and Desert Strykes, Kalphites, possibly Mages as they're out of the way and terrible xp though most of the time I do them. You'll make around 400k a task doing Tortoises and they aren't that slow, with extremes and a rapier you can kill around 40-50 every 10 minutes in a decent world.My block list getting to 99 Slayer only had Kalphites and Desert Wyrms and I skipped Mages, Black Demons, Fiends, Terror Dogs and Wyverns when I couldn't be bothered to do them.Really it's down to personal preference and what you're looking for in a task as to what you block.

And Mages aren't worth a slot either. I have Kalphites, Steel Dragons, and Black Demons blocked. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

EffigiesCharmsProfitMax Slayer Xp I have sample lists in my guide in my sig. I'll take a look at the guide but in relation to the question you asked me: Effigies - Nah not really... I hardly get them as drops anyways so they're nice bonus surprise but I wont go out of my way for them.Charms - Knock on from slayer.... Already got enough to get me to about 500k from 95 summoning with more on the way each day.Profit - I cannon and piety all of my tasks with herb runs in between so if you can tell me how to make more profit it'd be nice.Slayer Xp - Yeah this is a big thing I want with a friend getting 94 and us having an agreement to get 99 together I don't want him to wait forever.

Vex Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ok here's a sample list, balancing Profit & Slayer XP - bearing in mind you don't have Turmoil or a Yak. However Super Antifires & Extremes are assumed also liberal use of cannon. Cancelling a task costs about 80k gp (In worth of points) However remember the task you complete instead will add 40k back on. The goal is to roughly break even on tasks, and cancel a lot of the crap ones, so you can focus on a decent list for what you want to do. BlockFire Giants Warped Tortoises Jungle Strykewyrms Greater Demons Reasons for Block:Firegiants - mediocre profit (or a loss if you cannon), gold charms, poor effigies, mediocre slayer xpWarped Tortoise - Mediocre Profit, Only 2 spawns per world, poor charms, poor effigiesJungle Strykes - Mediocre Profit, awful charms, poor xp, poor effigiesGreater Demons - Decent Crims - However, poor profit, low slayer xp, poor effigies, hard to find a world to kill fast (You may spend 5minutes hopping in Kuras) CancelHellhounds (Great Slayer Xp, but zero profit & zero charms, if you feel you can afford it - I would recommend shifting this to the DO list)Dust Devils (Good Charms - Not so good without an Iron Titan +, all other fields are Low xp/profit)Desert Strykewyrms (Semi-Decent profit, however poor in other fields)Suqahs (Quick Points if you need them)Living Rock Creatures (50k+ Slayer Xp when maxed, poor in other fields)Kalphites (If you ever want to do KQ lol)Terror Dogs (Quick Points if you NEED them)TzHaar (Fight Cave - Fast XP @ Max) All of the above should be cancelled since you are going for Profit + Slayer Xp, however should you decide on changing your priorities for slayer in future, several of these tasks offer good xp in their fields,Do Aberrant Spectres - Cannon ( +/= )Abyssal Demons - Piety ( + )Black Demons - Cannon ( - )Black Dragons - Cannon ( + )Blue Dragons - ZSpear/Korasi's + Ddef ( + )Bloodvelds - Cannon ( - )Dagannoths - Cannon ( - )Dark Beasts - Piety ( +/=)Gargoyles - Piety ( + )Ice Strykewyrms - Cannon/Melee/Mage ( + )Iron Dragons - Piety + ZSpear/Korasi's + Ddef ( + )Mithril Dragons - Piety + Zspear/Korasi's + Ddef ( + )Nechryaels - Piety ( + )Skeletal Wyverns - Cannon + Whip ( + )Spiritual Mages - Piety ( + )Steel Dragons - Piety + ZSpear ( + )Waterfiends - Piety ( + ) Profit/loss indicated in brackets, this assumes you bank, where possible, Herbs, Dragon Bones & Hides for the respective tasks. Blocked tasks are tasks you should never bother doing for either of the 4 reasons to do slayer. I left the 5th block open, however I recommend Desert Strykes or Kalphites - I left Kalphite off the list for if in case you ever want to do KQ and get a task lol. Try that for a list - Note: Aside from Spiritual Mages all should offer decent charms. This is to balance your slayer & Summoning xp near a 1:1 ratio, several tasks in the list are relatively low xp & profit - but charms are still important if you are not 96. http://www.[Caution!

Ivoos_ Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cancelling a task costs about 35-40k gp (In worth of points) Cancelling costs 30 points, 100k worth of runes is 35. I'd say cancelling is about double what you said :) http://www.tip.it/runescape/?herb^^ A herblore cost/xp calculator. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cleaning herbs has the values switched at the moment, but the fix has been submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
