Rule Changes

Addition of the following sub-section to rule 5, Group Pvm activities

Placeholders Group encounters (log and achievement tasks) are eligible for placeholders. Placeholders is an artificial system implemented to ensure taskmen can always work on their active task. If you roll a group boss encounter, and cannot find a team at present, you're allowed to temporarily skip it. For log item tasks this is achieved by selecting the "Placeholder" from the unique item drop-down menu before selecting "complete". Your placeholdered task will now appear in the unlocks-section on your Dashboard. For feats/achievements, this is achieved by selecting "complete". Afterwards, you should make a note of the placeholdered task.

Bosses categorized as group encounters

Ultimately, the task admins decide whether an encounter classifies as group or solo, but the decisions are based upon the following criteria:

If one or more of the following apply from the hard tier onwards, a boss is generally considered a group encounter and thus eligible for grouping and placeholders and will be accessible as soon as you enter the tier it first appears in.

  • If a boss has no achievements saying: "Can only be completed in a solo instance".
  • If a boss can be faced in a group, but the loot is distributed individually.
  • If a boss has an enrage mechanic that resets with the in-game daily reset, it is eligible for placeholders.

This makes the list of boss encounters eligible for placeholders and/or grouping consist of the following: Elite Dungeons 1-3, Nex, Kerapac, Kalphite King, Barrows: Rise of the Six, Nex - Angel of Death, Raksha - the Shadow Colossus, Vorago, Solak, and Araxxi.
