RSorder OSRS: Let's Dive Into The Block List

Burning out from boring or difficult tasks will only slow your progress.

However,to make this process more manageable and efficient,you can choose to RuneScape gold block certain tasks you find unenjoyable by spending 100 Slayer reward points per task at a Slayer Master. 

If your aim is to gain the most experience possible in the shortest amount of time,avoiding tasks that slow you down is crucial. But remember,enjoyment should always take precedence over efficiency. Burning out from boring or difficult tasks will only slow your progress.

Let's dive into the Block List,as it's essential for maximizing Slayer XP. Players begin with five slots for blocking tasks,but once you hit 300 quest points,you'll unlock a sixth slot. The seventh slot becomes available after completing the Lumbridge Elite Diary.

 By the time you're serious about Slayer,you'll likely have access to all seven slots,and this guide will assume that Duradel is your Slayer Master of choice,or Kuradel if you've completed "While Guthix Sleeps."

Now,let's look at which tasks are best avoided,starting with some monsters that should be blocked to speed up your progress.
Hellhounds

Hellhounds are one of the most infamous Slayer monsters. They are often assigned early in your Slayer journey,and while they can be a bit of an AFK option,they aren't the best choice for XP. Hellhounds have decent drops,like the Primordial Crystal,but in terms of Slayer XP,they are slow.

Their drop table is poor overall,with most of their loot being either low-value or rare drops like the Ensouled Head or Smoldering Stone. You will almost always lose money on this task,so unless you need the occasional clue or just want an easy task to kill time,these creatures are best blocked.
Cave Krakens

Cave Krakens,much like Hellhounds,have a high Slayer task weight,which means you'll be assigned these more often than you'd like. These monsters are particularly slow to kill since you can only use magic-based attacks,like a Trident of the Swamp,and you can't utilize melee or ranged combat.

This results in very low XP per hour. The Kraken's drop table also doesn't offer much in the way of profit,making this a task that's better blocked if you value efficiency. Their high task weight makes them a prime candidate for your Block List.
Black Dragons

Black Dragons are a bit of a hassle to deal with,mainly due to their high Hitpoints and the need to bring anti-dragonfire protection (either a shield or an antifire potion). If you want to kill them efficiently,you'll need a Dragon Hunter Lance,which is an expensive weapon,and its use is generally limited to Slayer. Duradel typically assigns only 10-20 Black Dragons per task,but this isn't ideal for XP gains. We're looking for RuneScape gold for sale tasks where we can kill larger numbers of monsters in the same location for maximum experience,so Black Dragons don't fit the bill.
