TheLad1 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I've just got Spiritual mages as a Slayer Task & though may as well kill Ancient Mages this time - would have expected the kills to be 15% faster. Anyway, geared up & started killing when after a few kills noticed my Slayer Xp hadn't moved!! I would have assumed that the Ancient mages should have been classed as 'Spiritual Mages' the same as all the other 'God' Mages. Any thoughts as to why these don't qualify or discuss reasons why Jagex has chosen them not to qualify for a Spiritual Mage Slayer task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35u5_M4 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 They're called Ancient Mages. All of the others are called Spiritual Mages. The task says Spiritual Mages. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green9090 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 All of the "spiritual" things seem to be ghosts, but the Zarosian things are pretty clearly not. They're mages, but not spirits.

Sy_Accursed Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah Ancient Mages are clearly living breathing people.Spiritual mages are clearly all spirits/ghosts. clearly nowhere near the same thing so no way the match. As always with slayer the rule is its gotta have the precise wording in the name. Eg for "dog" you can kill "wild DOG" and "guard DOG" For green dragon you can kill "GREEN DRAGON" "Brutal GREEN DRAGON" Ancient mage is clearly missing a word from "spiritual mage" Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why didn't Jagex name them Ancient Spiritual Mages? I don't know. But the reasons above tell you why it doesn't work :).

aspeeder Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Why didn't Jagex name them Ancient Spiritual Mages? I don't know. But the reasons above tell you why it doesn't work :).Also the fact that all the Ancient mages are alive, whereas spiritual mages died and kept on fighting for their gods after death (Because of their devotion or something); it's not that they should be called spiritual mages but the name's just a little wrong, they are a completely different kind of being. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
