Aten Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What's the ideal slayer block list for charms/effigies/slayer xp? I don't care about $ or melee xp since melee will easily max out before I get 99 slayer (which means despite not being maxed I'm still skipping LRC), and I have a pretty good idea of what tasks not to do; I simply wish to know which ones are common enough to warrant a block.

Fire Giants, Both early Strykewyrms, Warped Tortoises, and Dust Devils. 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.

Much better than the xp the other block list tasks give. yeah, crappy charms, effigies, and money, but you don't slay for money and the xp is more than enough to make them worth it despite low charms and effigies. ~It's Super Effective!

Zaaps1 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 CTS with a titan itself is decent xp (in the area of 45k/hr), which is something like 40-50% faster than desert/jungle strykewyrms, I believe. Cannon in Waterfall is about 50k, and thus even better, and cannon in wildy should be much faster than 50k/hr. I wouldn't be surprised if wildy cannon was slightly slower than tasks like suqah, only because you can't bring your most expensive gear. ~It's Super Effective!

Quyneax Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have fire giants blocked. All the tasks I do are decent/good effigies or just for points: Iron dragonsSteel dragonsMithril dragonsBlack dragonsBlack demonsDark beastsBloodveldDagganothSuqahHellhoundsAbberant spectresTerror dogs With this list I break even on slayer points. Meaning that adding fire giants will be a downgrade. Terror dogs are only 40k xp/hr at most, but very quick to get to and have better effigy rates.If I actually got an ice strykewyrm task I might do it as well but I haven't had one 600k xp past 93 :P.

More than one person in this topic said they are worth blocking, so they are worth blocking. Simple.because were listening to people like gods its not about a tally of who is blocking what but lets be honest who cares that 20 other people think its worth blocking is how you interpret the reasons why they block to form your own just saying, everyone does it, so you should too, its extremely naive and unreliable, and frankly i wouldnt trust someone's judgment if that was the only reason given. ~It's Super Effective!

More than one person in this topic said they are worth blocking, so they are worth blocking. Simple. Multiple people saying one thing doesn't make it right.Fire giants are actually not that bad if you cannon them and they give tons of gold charms (which do suck) A lot of the best task list do require pretty high slayer and some money pool.Right now, if I decided to go straight for slayer exp - I would be wasting tons on cballs and wouldn't even be close to making up my costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 - Kalphites (Boring, mediocre drops, crowded, large sums of cannoning)- Terror dogs (Very far, frustrating to get to, mediocre drops, time waster)- Aberants (Not too shabby but may require multiple trips since their loots aren't stackable ((besides seeds)) and hits very frequently, a big time waster)- Metals (D drops aren't profitable anymore. Very low exp, tedious, not worth it for a chance at a visage)- Warped assignments (terrible loot, tedious for constant use of crystal chimes, another time waster)- Green dragons (bots, bots and more bots)- Squahs (everybody hates them) pick whatever you see fit. I personally like the strykewyrms. Jungles drop stackable loots (some of which are sold for a little over 1k each) and deserts drop focus sights (300k loot) not very badand their defense is considerable. Same said for fire giants.

Jungles drop stackable loots (some of which are sold for a little over 1k each) and deserts drop focus sights (300k loot) not very badand their defense is considerable. Same said for fire giants. - Kalphites are some of the fastest xp in the game assuming you've done the quest for them, they should never be skipped/blocked unless you haven't done the quest- Terror dogs are up for debate but considering they're literally right next to a teleport spot, it is not frustrating at all to get to. I suggest just doing them.- Aberants should NEVER be skipped, simply put, cannoning them in the polly dungeon is absurdly fast xp. - Metals are up for debate but it is a pretty fast task (never takes me more than 1h with my stats) and their effigy drop rate is pretty good. In my opinion they shouldn't be skipped to their ease and effigy rates.- Warped, I kinda agree, it gets aggravating dealing with all the bots on 2 tortoise spawns (birds are another story, I hear they're excellent slayer xp/h). - Green dragons never get assigned so I have no clue why this is even mentioned- Suqahs should NEVER be blocked, they are rarely assigned. However if you do get assigned them, it's always in low numbers (usually under 80). Best if you just cannon them on the north side for an extremely fast task You forgot how he doesn't care about money, thus making most of your suggestions kinda obsolete since they're geared towards loot rather than xp/h. Personally I suggest blocking:- Jungle Strykewyrm: Slow, annoying, essentially no good loot, spread apart and just plain terrible- Desert Strykewyrm: Although I don't mind these, they are pretty bad in terms of xp, charms, effigies and drops. Basically not worth it at higher levels. - Tortoises: The 2 spawns are just too annoying to deal with, especially since it's becoming overrun with bots- LRC: Mainly cause you stated you didn't want to do it, not to mention this task is pretty boring, bad charms, sub-par effigy rates and just bleh- Gargoyles: Boring task, bad charms, bad effigy rates, just not a great task in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Strangely: warpedd tortoises I found amazingly easy to beat bots at - and even with only 2 spawns, it's very high profit (around 1M gp / hour) 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.
