OSRS: Best Tasks to Block

Blocking tasks in OSRS is a great way to optimize your Slayer grind, ensuring you focus on the most rewarding and efficient monsters. Here's a breakdown of some of the most commonly blocked tasks for players looking to get to 99 Slayer:

Hellhounds (Slayer Task Weight: 10)

While they can be AFK-friendly and drop OSRS items like the Primordial Crystal, Hellhounds don't provide much XP and often result in a loss of money. They're better avoided if you're aiming for maximum XP efficiency.

Cave Krakens (Slayer Task Weight: 9)

These creatures are slow to kill, requiring a Trident of the Swamp for effective magic damage, and have a poor drop table. The slow kills make them a task to block for a faster, more rewarding Slayer grind.

Black Dragons (Slayer Task Weight: 9)

Black Dragons have high hitpoints and require either an Anti-Dragonfire shield or Antifire potions. For maximum efficiency, you'd need a Dragon Hunter Lance, a costly weapon for the task, making it less appealing for most players.

Greater Demons & Black Demons (Slayer Task Weights: 9 & 8)

These demons are single-target and high-weight, leading to long, tedious tasks with poor loot. While they're not particularly rewarding in terms of loot or XP, blocking them saves time for more efficient monsters.

Spiritual Creatures (Slayer Task Weight: 7)

These can be tedious and difficult to access in the God Wars Dungeon. You'll often be attacked by other NPCs, which makes them a frustrating task to grind. Their drop table isn't particularly rewarding, especially when compared to other Slayer monsters.

Steel Dragons (Slayer Task Weight: 7)

Steel Dragons are tough, requiring multiple prayers to handle both their dragonfire attack and their melee hits. Despite being weak to Earth Spells, they're still slow to kill and don't offer great loot, making them a task best blocked.

Blocking these tasks will help you focus on more efficient monsters that either drop valuable loot or are quicker to kill, ultimately speeding up your journey to 99 Slayer.

With the right tasks blocked and focusing on efficient kills, you'll speed up your journey to 99 Slayer. Plus, the added benefit of valuable loot will help you stack up that OSRS gold and OSRS items along the way.
