A slim chance to receive the jad pet? Come on jagex I'm not a some guy who has 500m lying around and does firecape runs every day. Make the drop rate uncommon and make it to where you can either get the pet or cape or possibly both. OS Status: Nothing atm.

RS3 Status: 120 Slayer done now onto figuring out what I should do next.

Any word on adding more drops to the normal Hellhound drop table? I believe you mentioned it a few times on the Q&A streams, but I don't think I read anything about it in the blog.


It reads on the blog that the d pick and hatchet upgrades would be dropped by normal hellhounds too, although they'd be very rare.

lol at all the slay nerds crying about the slay requirements not being high enough. The requirements are fine, the drops aren't even that great and shouldn't require 90+ slayer for them.

Also the boss slayer seems pretty lazily done. There should be multiple different tasks for different bosses. Corp should not be included in boss slayer

Cannot wait for this update! :D

Ignoring that though, feedback:

- I think Boss tasks should only be in regards to Gwd Bosses and NOT the new bosses (Abby/Hellhound). I think those bosses are going to be packed even more if that is the case. I think they should only be accessed by players with that specific task only, making getting that task even more exciting.

-I Think the Abby demon and Hellhound boss should maybe require a bit higher slayer level than whatever level its normal form is currently set at? Just to give players a bit more incentive to keep training the skill higher but either way, its fine. Sounds awesome btw.

-Will there be anything to make people want to train slayer higher than level 93? (other than the cape and the $ ofc). I just hate skills that seem pointless past a certain level regarding its content (Slayer: 93/ Herblore: 94 for example)


Monster drop buffs:

-Will this mean that the normal Hellhounds drop table will get buffed? I mean, Hard clues are nice and all but.... The same goes for Black demons? I know im not the only one who finds their drop table unappealing for their level.

-Seeing as you guys mentioned Spiritual Mages.. what about the rangers? I have had them blocked since forever.. Anyway to make them more appealing? Maybe get them to drop bolts or something else range related? Hides? Acb (kidding haha)

Just my thoughts.. ignore them if they seem silly lol
All in all im very excited to see this update happen ^^

These updates are lookin great! Really can't wait. Like the idea of boss tasks, including the new abyssal and hellhound bosses, and fully support the boots extensions! Dragon dagger has always been a very common weapon to use along with the whip, but now with the abyssal dagger commin out, It'll probably have a change! Lookin forward!

Could you please, for the love of god make some kind of way to kill green dragons without having to go into the wilderness, a task of 40 green dragons is more risky than fighting any other slayer monster, it's saddening that i can get forced to go into the wilderness just for my slayer, my only other choice is to ruin my 44 slayer task streak and end it but man. Can you guys do something about this, because all of the toxic pkers are camping green drags trashtalking anyone just trying to train slayer

They are going to be adding baby green dragons to the Stronghold Slayer Cave. They'll get the task done although you won't be getting any d bones or hides.

Related to this, perhaps we should reconsider how spiritual monsters are assigned.

Currently, there are three different kinds of spiritual monsters that a player with the requisite slayer level can receive. I think it would be preferable if the individual tasks were scrapped and replaced with a blanket "spiritual monster" task. Players could choose which spiritual monsters they want to kill, and if they do not want to do any spiritual task, they could block all of them using 1 block list.

Polypore creatures in RS3 used a similar mechanic and I think it would work in OSRS. If we are going to be removing some of the "junk" from Nieve and Duradel's task lists, changing how spiritual monsters are assigned should also be considered.

This looks amazing and i cannot wait but the slayer level requirements to kill these new slayer bosses should be very high. I think they should be 95+ eventually having a slayer boss requiring 99 slayer.
