Just curious, but how did the tasks get assigned ranks?
As I feel Slayer monsters should have a higher rank that most non-slayer specific monsters, but as they are listed now, can be a lot lower.
For example - the 3's and 2's on Nieve are a lot lower than say elves which are a 6. I'd much rather have a cave horror task (I've never actually had that task in all my time playing runescape)

can anyone explain to me what exactly the slayer task weight means and how it works? along with the numbers mod ash posted on page 3
Take this bit of it:

irondragons 7
gargoyles 9
blackdemons 9
steeldragons 8
mithrildragons 8
bloodveld 8
spiritualmage 8


Suppose you've got the requirements for the iron and steel dragons, and the black demons, but you don't have the Slayer level for bloodveld or gargoyles, and you don't have access to the dungeons containing the mithril dragons or the spiritual mages.

We'd add iron and steel dragons to the pot, and black demons too.
They've got weightings of 7, 8 and 9 respectively.
The pot therefore has a total weighting of 24.

Now we'd give you a task which has a 7/24 chance of being iron dragons, 8/24 of being steel dragons and 9/24 of being black demons.

I'm afraid I don't actually know, though I believe John was running a feedback thread over the weekend to help create the lists.

The new assignment code is considerably more flexible than the previous version, so it'll be easy to increase/decrease weightings of each task from each master without having knock-on effects on the other tasks.
