now that i've earned most of the learning rewards, i'm wondering what tasks to permanently block. slow-going tasks that don't produce much wealth are the obvious choice, but i'm not really experienced enough to know what those are yet. i did well at warped terrorbirds, but someone told me they're a good task to block. iso a clear program that works for most slayers

I currently am blocking warped terror birds, mithril dragons (ever since they upped it to 50, task just takes too long for my liking), scarabites, aquanites, and steel dragons (another "this just takes too long for my liking", task)

i'm thinking of blocking bloodvelds. not super-slow but slow enough. and i'm getting no return from them at all.
i'd be nervous about blocking steel dragons, just in case a visage would drop. but they are definitely slow and unprofitable for me so far.
i did rly well at warped terrorbirds, so i will let future success/failure decide for me about them.
i will follow you on mithril dragons, at least until i get higher lvls. some ppl deliberately go after them, so maybe they aren't unprofitable?
i will follow you on scarabites.
no idea about aquanites but if they are like scarabites, they suck.

ty for the ideas. mainly i'm hoping to get a survey to see where ppl tend to agree on a task being terrible.

Aquanites are level 78 bitches that shoot you with magic that no matter what you're healing way too much on, unless you decide, oh, I'll pray. Then they special beam cannon your ass for 25 and turn your prayer off, just to make you feel less of a man. They also think whips are for pussies, so you need to use stab weapons on them. They do drop the amulet of ranging, which kinda looks like the ghost speak amulet, but is a nifty trinket for rangers. Nevermind they drop it with less frequency of a whip... so yeah. They are a shit task. Bloodvelds I don't mind so much, because I can either whip them to shreds, or cannon the fuck out of them thanks to legacy of the stargazer (or whatever that quest was called).

Steels are a profit for me, it's just too slow. I'm not all about getting 5k slayer xp an hour. Scarabites wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take forever to get there, and they didn't do a great job of luring you into multi combat areas where you're poisoned, diseased, and ko'ed in 2.5 seconds if you're not careful. Oh, and if they had decent drops.

note to self: stuff with "-ites" at end of name = worth blocking

cannon mutated bloods
awesome fast xp

train herblore, love dragons

Teach me your dragon killing ways.

Also, only 70m right now in greens. I need ~98 just to get to 92. Or did, anyways.

But yeah, I cannon 'velds, most of the time. Other parts I'll go hang out in whip them to death because they are easy and require no food nor familiars.

penis

runescape sucks

So you're not going to get me a new firecape?

hellhounds
aquanites (until kuradel)
warped birds (til kuradel)
any metal dragon until super anti fire

if you dont like tasks that dont give you anything
bloodvelds
kalphites

some people block terror dogs because they suck (even though they are short as shit)

some people block wyverns because they really are a pain in the ass if you dont have turmoil/soul split or a unicorn (but if you use a uni you have to bank every 5 min) so really you want a yak

aqaunties or hounds
shut her down!

looks like most of the same tasks are hated by everyone

just got skeletal wyverns, will see how it goes but sounds like a pain

basically:

block anything and everything you dont feel like doing for any reason

i had dark beasts blocked for a while because its a 3-4 hour task and i never get d bows so i dont want to waste my time

but its good exp so i recently unblocked as im close to 99

no you aren't.
ARE YOU?
WTF.

Fuck your 99.

same

currently blocking kalphite, hellhounds, waterfiends, warped torts, jungle strykewyrms
