They also take a while to RuneScape gold kill and are frequently assigned in large quantities — sometimes 130 to 200 at a time. This leads to long,tedious tasks with little reward. If you're an Ironman,they might be more useful for grinding out demon-specific drops or farming shards,but for the average player,these are massive XP sinks.

Spiritual Creatures

Task Weight: 7

Spiritual Creatures might not show up constantly,but when they do,it's often one of the least enjoyable tasks in the game. Found in the God Wars Dungeon,these mobs are annoying to access and often require god-aligned gear to avoid being swarmed by other enemies.

Their loot is poor,they're generally a waste of time,and unless you're hunting Dragon Boots from Spiritual Mages,there's no reason to ever keep this task unblocked. These were the first creatures I personally blocked,and I've never looked back.

Steel Dragons (and other Metal Dragons)

Task Weight: 7

Steel Dragons — and by extension,all metal dragons like Iron or Mithril Dragons — are slow,defensive,and dangerous. You'll need high protection prayers

Steel Dragons (and other Metal Dragons)

Task Weight: 7

Steel Dragons — and by extension,all metal dragons like Iron or Mithril Dragons — are slow,defensive,and dangerous. You'll need high protection prayers and decent gear to kill them efficiently,and even then,the loot is underwhelming compared to the effort.

Recently,Steel Dragons became weak to Earth Spells due to Project Rebalance,but it hasn't significantly improved XP rates. These tasks often require multiple trips due to their durability and strong dragonfire attacks,which is the opposite of efficient.

If you're thinking about unlocking Mithril Dragons as a Slayer option: don't. They're even slower than Steel Dragons and arguably more frustrating.

What Should You Do Instead?

To get the most out of your Slayer journey,aim for tasks that allow for multi-target combat using Ice Burst,Ice Barrage,or a Dwarf Multicannon. Tasks that fall into this category include:

Dust Devils: Can be extended and barraged in the Catacombs for fast XP and solid drops.

Nechryaels: Also great for multi-targeting with cheap Runescape gold Ice spells,and have very profitable loot tables.
