OSRS – Top 11 Slayer Tasks to Block

While Slayer Tasks can be fun and engaging, they can also be a drag and ultimately uneventful. Depending on what you’re trying to get as loot, what skill you are looking to level up, and simply what you’re interested in doing, there are certain slayer tasks that you may not want to deal with. In this guide, I’ll go over some of the different Slayer Tasks that may not be all that worth your time and should be on your block list.

Konar

Drakes

A definite #1 block, Drakes, is everything wrong with the dragons but just more prevalent. Not only that, but they are still a waste due to the lack of good drops.

Wyrms

Wyrms follow closely after Drakes and share many of the same issues. The one thing going for them is that they offer a decent amount of money for people starting in the game.

If you are a bit lower level and don’t have a ton of money, Wyrms may be something worth your time. However, if you’re past that point, and money isn’t an issue, go ahead and block them if you can.

Black Demons

Black Demons are kind of an interesting situation. While they can be pretty good (good enough not to be blocked, anyway), the same isn’t true at the earlier levels. If you’re starting, Black Demon slayer tasks can be pretty horrendous without much by way of drops to show for it.

It’s recommended that you drop the tasks for right now and only consider checking back after you’ve got a few levels under you.

Krystillia 

Earth Warriors

Earth warriors have many of the issues as others on this list have out in the wilderness for not much reward.

Ents

Ents are also just a complete drag to deal with here. The good news is that the Ent shares the same percentage of showing up as Earth Warriors and many other options that have come on this list. Ents are very hardy, difficult to kill, and offer very little in return, except if you chop them then you can get some money.

Nieve/Steve&Duradel

Spiritual Creatures

Spiritual Creatures are bad. They are some of the most annoying monsters on this list while giving you almost nothing good, and the things that are “good” are just ok. It’s in your best interest to block them outright as soon as you can.

Steel/Iron Dragons

They are not good, terrible experience and money per hour and also far to reach.

Suqah

Suqahs fall into the same category as the Black Demons from earlier. You’re going to not have the same issues with them based on your current level. In this instance, Suqahs are horrendous to deal with if you don’t have a cannon yet. I would recommend blocking and not dealing with them until after you get a cannon. After that, go to town and have fun.

Chaeldar 

Iron Dragons

Just a brutal task until you get a Dragon Hunter Crossbow or Lance; Iron Dragons are not fun in the slightest. Even when you get one of these weapons, they are still terrible options that are a slog to deal with and get through.

The good news is that it will stay throughout the rest of Slayer if you do block them.

Steel Dragons

The biggest pain of the three. While it does have “slightly” better drops than Bronze or Iron, that’s simply because it’s that much more challenging to get through. And don’t make the mistake that “slight” drop improvements are anything other than literally being “slight” improvements. They aren’t good. They aren’t useful. Just get rid of them.

Bronze Dragons

Bronze Dragons share many of the same issues as the Iron Dragons, with the caveat that their drops are arguably worse. Probably just as bad (if not a little worse) as Iron Dragons. If you’re dropping one set of dragons, you’re best dropping them both.

Jungle Horrors

Lastly, with Chaeldar, the Jungle Horrors tasks are a very prevalent and useless option. You’re not going to enjoy doing these tasks at all, to the point that they will start having you want to put the game away. What’s more, their drops are horrible, so it’s not even worth all the stress and headache.
