Quoting myself for the new thread at Hinze's request:

Augster posted:

Howdy all, thought I'd share some info about the new preferred Slayer task system.

First of all check this out from the official RS wiki. What to note is the weighting system for each task a master can assign, explained thusly:

quote:

Slayer assignments work from a weighting system - each Slayer target has as specific weighting for that Slayer master. To estimate your percentage chance of obtaining a slayer task, you can add up the weightings for targets you can be assigned from the tables above (So don't add any NPCs you have blocked or don't have the requirements for).

When you have the total number, the percentage chance you can get assigned it is: (NPC's weighting / your total) x 100.

Therefore, tasks you don't like that have a high weighting are better to block, while those you hate with a low rating are better to simply skip. Likewise, those with a low weighting that you enjoy/are great xp are better to prefer, while a good task with a high weighting (such as airuts) can be left alone (unless you want them always extended). Preferring a task will also automatically extend it. I believe an extended task is 20% more than what you'd get normally.

For how preferring works, think of the tasks a master can assign as a drop table. The task is rolled when you ask for a task, and if the task isn't a preferred one it rolls again and if that one's preferred, you'll get it. If not, you'll get the original one. It's like an invisible slayer VIP ticket except you don't get to choose for yourself.

My current block/prefer list for Morvran. Will probably change in the next few days depending on how great edimmu are.

apparently according to their stream the repair cost will be the same as what it takes to make the armour so it seems pretty useless.

It's essentially the same as it is now: dyed sets will be repairable using the materials (tectonic energy/sirenic scales/malevolent energies); the reason it doesn't degrade to dust is just so you don't accidentally lose your billions of gp worth of rare dye.

With normal level 90 armor, you have to use two partially-degraded sets on each other to combine their charges to prevent it from degrading to dust. E.g. use it down to 5% then buy a new set and use it down to 94%, combine them to get one 99% charged set.

New Ports update! Time to repost this handy dandy calculator! http://www.tip.it/runescape/pages/view/pop_voyage.htm

And now, stealing from the HLF, here's how to do the new Clue Voyages, because jagex didn't explain them!

quote:

A new mission is a "clue" voyage, which works like story voyages. Finish the set and you unlock rewards, like random resources every day (Exile) or scrimshaws or t85 darts or an outfit (Tengu) or removing bad traits from captain (Memory). The others just give effects (Whaler, Trapper, Chef).
If you do them wrong, you have a 75% chance to fail and waste the mission.

How to Do

One Upgrade Totem Spot is the Map table. It highlights certain eastern islands when you investigate, in different ports regions.

The Map table


Investigate example 1


IInvestigate example 2


While your clue voyage adventurer is in the port (You cannot edit destination after sending them off), you can focus a destination for them.

In the bar

Choose the one from above then send away your magical mission.

An update to this Clue Voyage info: you can only get the island hint from the map table every day if you have 4 map tables built. Otherwise it's one clue per 2/3/4 days. Which kinda sucks. A couple early tests indicate that it is possible to have the same island today as it was yesterday, so maybe get out that Notepad if you don't want to use 4 tables.

This is still the Runescape thread right?

So here's my loot from the last ~16m xp to supreme slayer mastery:



Sold most of it for a cool 173m. Then I tried my luck with all the crystal keys I had:



That would be about 23.4m if I just sold them, but I wanted a chance at that sweet dragonstone armor so I tried my luck at the chest:



...it came out to about 18.3m. Oh well. I still have 9 triskelions that I'll do later.

So about how much total money did I make? When I started, I only had about 120m and level 80 weapons, and now I have all 90s. Drygores cost me about 100m, then ascensions were 180m each, and finally noxious staff I paid 250m for. Add at all up and comes out to a total of about 883m. :toot:



1447 tasks. 13052 slayer points. 1 cape with particools.

Post-120 slayer fun: I turned most of my points into runes

Magres posted:

Augs, what tasks do you block/prefer, and for what reasons? I just want to afk the day away and figured I'd pick your brain for advice, all the block/prefer discussion I've ever seen is for best xp/hour, not best xp/effort.

Like, for example, I'm really considering blocking Airuts because, while they're good xp and gp, it's way too much effort to disrupt their ragemode

I made a post here about prefer, skip, and block. All of my blocks are things that are boring, low xp, and weak loot. My prefers are fun (except elves), good xp, and good loot. If you really want to afk and miss out on airuts, just block them. Their weighting is high enough that you'll be spending points too often to skip them every time.

No, if you go talk to Scopulus he says his only allegiance is to the earth, and he was only fighting with the Godless out of necessity.
