Platinum_Myr Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 What is the best block list for cannon and steel titan power slaying? And which tasks should I skip. I can't seem to find anything current. I am currently 91 slayer, so I don't yet have ice-strykes or ganodermic beasts yet.

Hedgehog Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You'll want to prioritize blocking the most common tasks. In your case, I'd recommend: Ganodermic creatures (Before 95)Abyssal demonsDark beastsIce strykes (drop fire cape/tokhaar before getting a task)GargoylesNechryaelsGrotworms Skip: Fire GiantsLiving rock creatures (You can cannon, but I'm not sure that they're fast)Spiritual magesIron dragonsWarped TortoisesJungle StrykewyrmsMutated JadinkosSteel dragonsDesert StrykewyrmsVyrewatchBlue DragonsSkeletal Wyverns You'll notice that a lot of tasks are skipped. You probably won't have enough points to keep up with that, so I suggest doing wyverns, dark beasts (afk), and blues if you need the money.

Quyneax Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ice strykes and dark beasts are worth it, being around 50k xp/hr (dark beasts little more, ice strykes little less), wyverns are a lot slower and less profitable than strykes afaik. Fire giants are 50k xp/hr and up as well. Jungle and desert strykes are better blocks, and vyres are pretty common too, so replace polypore with vyres when you get ganodermics.

Hedgehog Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Polypores are the most common task when you add pines and roos, so they're an obvious block before 95. After 95 you'd replace them with the first monster on the skip list (fire giants/lrc/spiritual mages). Id recommend doing wyverns unless you have enough points to justify skipping them. They're rare and decent enough crims. Blocking vyres is dumb cuz they're one of the rarest tasks. Just skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Fire giants are not the first on the skip list, that's still jungle/desert strykes and spiritual mages. And vyres are pretty common, I've had 7 tasks (equal to nechryael!) going from 93-99 and they were only introduced halfway. Just because wyverns are rare doesn't mean they are worth doing... it means they aren't worth blocking. You won't lose many points skipping them, and the slayer xp is really low (under 35k/hr last I checked).

xSxqPowerx Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I wouldn't skip/block dark beasts, they're really fast with a cannon. Fire giants are about 40k exp/hour with a steel titan, so really not bad. Then again I haven't slayed for quite a while, so maybe exp/hour standards are higher... I just know that I never had enough points to keep up with all of the tasks that needed to be skipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_korny Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If you're really concerned about a block list, you could try to utilize the new social slayer thing. Find someone to train with and set up your combined blocked lists to cover more creatures. Although, this might be sacrificing your earned experience in the end. I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Only the blocklist of the person who gets the task is taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppet Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Your Ban list should reflect what you'd never do. While the ones you're skipping are the ones you might do, like Grotworms if ever need points you could finish the task quick by killing the small ones. In general these:Abyssal DemonsGrotwormsLiving Rock CreaturesGargoyleWarped TortoisePolyporesDesert and Jungle strykewyrmsMutated JadinkosSpiritual Mages Also don't listen to them about Vyrewatches, they're great tasks, kill the regular ones east of burgh though.

Hedgehog Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The vyres in burgh are even lower kph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Interesting. However, being 99 summoning I don't value charms. Vyrewatches I have usually been doing because they are decent melee xp. Grotworms I skip because they are impossibly crowded. I have currently blocked Polypores, Grotworms, Jungle/Desert Strykes, and I can't recall the other two at the moment. I can't skip ice wyrms by dropping cape as I have too many, and don't really want to lose them. As for greaters, isn't the only good place to cannon them in the wild? Not sure I'm that comfortable about doing that. Here's what I am thinking of doingBlock List1. Abyssal Demons2. Gargoyles3. Nechryael4. Grotworms5. Living Rock Creatures6. Spiritual Mages Skip:Warped TortoisesGrifalopinesGrifaloroosWaterfiendsJungle WyrmsDesert WyrmsMutated JadinkosVyrewatchSkeletal Wyverns I will do steels/irons since I can yak the bones and I enjoy the tasks usually they aren't that long. What are the spots for doing dust devils and greaters though?

Vyres and lower strykes should be more common at lower levels afaik. Anyway, looking at that list, vyres would not be a block, you're right there. But your suggested block list including dark beasts and ice strykes is pretty inaccurate too :P. Also, has the suggestion that relative task frequencies are affected by blocks been researched yet? 1 Supporter of Zaros | Quest Cape owner since 22 may 2010 | No skills below 99 | Total level 2595 | Completionist Cape owner since 17th June 2013 | Suggestions 99 summoning (18th June 2011, previously untrimmed) | 99 farming (14th July 2011) | 99 prayer (8th September 2011) | 99 constitution (10th September 2011) | 99 dungeoneering (15th November 2011) 99 ranged (28th November 2011) | 99 attack, 99 defence, 99 strength (11th December 2011) | 99 slayer (18th December 2011) | 99 magic (22nd December 2011) | 99 construction (16th March 2012) 99 herblore (22nd March 2012) | 99 firemaking (26th March 2012) | 99 cooking (2nd July 2012) | 99 runecrafting (12th March 2012) | 99 crafting (26th August 2012) | 99 agility (19th November 2012) 99 woodcutting (22nd November 2012) | 99 fletching (31st December 2012) | 99 thieving (3rd January 2013) | 99 hunter (11th January 2013) | 99 mining (21st January 2013) | 99 fishing (21st January 2013) 99 smithing (21st January 2013) | 120 dungeoneering (17th June 2013) | 99 divination (24th November 2013) Tormented demon drops: twenty effigies, nine pairs of claws, two dragon armour slices and one elite clue | Dagannoth king drops: two dragon hatchets, two elite clues, one archer ring and one warrior ring Glacor drops: four pairs of ragefire boots, one pair of steadfast boots, six effigies, two hundred lots of Armadyl shards, three elite clues | Nex split: Torva boots | Kalphite King split: off-hand drygore mace 30/30 Shattered Heart statues completed | 16/16 Court Cases completed | 25/25 Choc Chimp Ices delivered | 500/500 Vyrewatch burned | 584/584 tasks completed | 4000/4000 chompies hunted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I assume after I hit 95 slayer I should unblock polypores so that I can get ganodermics? And I am still not sure where I should be doing dust devils and greater demons. Previously I was skipping these as I didn't know good locations.

To the point of being an out and out fabrication. You should use your highest raw dps weapon period. And the fact that they have high HP doesn't really have any bearing on this at all.
