General

Updates going forward

Due to the surprising amount of tasks we’re still managing to add biweekly, we’ve decided to bump the schedule further, to ensure everyone gets a feeling of progression in their highest tiers. We will be doing an update once a month unless Jagex decides to add new content in between (doubt!). This means that the next Taskman update will be on the 28th of September. Grammar, clarifications and issues that require immediate fixing, will be applied whenever one of us is available for it.

Slayer

Today you may notice a significant rework to Slayer related tasks, especially those that included uniques that get an increased drop-rate when you have an assignment for them. From experience, we’ve seen that these tasks usually lead to a lot of completions of other tasks. To prevent that from happening, we’ve grouped them all up. You may now roll a task that requires you to obtain a unique through Slayer that benefits from being on an assignment. The uniques are, as always, visible through the drop-down. The way you should handle those, generally speaking, is get a Slayer assignment, check whether they drop a unique in the drop-down or not. If not, skip if you have the points, if yes, good luck on that drop.

As Slayer has been re-worked, so have the rules. When you’re in need of Slayer experience, or when you’re completing the Daily reaper assignments (unlocked in the Medium tier), you are allowed to do any assignment for bosses whose Reaper portal you have unlocked in War’s Retreat. Any portal unlocked prior to today’s update still counts.

Note that Lootshare is NOT permitted for any group PVM as of yet.

Re-ordering

We’re also working on giving each task a good place. This means that we’re working on visually sorting and re-ordering the tasks within each tier. We’ve already done this for the Beginner tier in the past week and would like your feedback on it before we commit ourselves to do the remaining 2708 tasks - yes, it requires us to open every single task, so that’s 2708 Chrome tabs for you.

Based on feedback we went with the following order: Exploration, Slayer log, Boss log, other Combat, Treasure Trail log, Completionist, Skills, Minigames and Miscellaneous. We’ve ordered Exploration in alphabetical order and easiest first. We’ve ordered the Slayer log based on Slayer levels required starting with the lowest. We’ve ordered the Boss log in alphabetical order. We’ve ordered other Combat in alphabetical order. We’ve ordered the Completionist tasks from Quests, Mini-quests, Comp, Trim to MQC. We’ve ordered Skills in alphabetical order and then based on levels required starting with the lowest. We’ve ordered Minigames in alphabetical order. And we’ve ordered Miscellaneous a bit more randomly, ending with the Super Duper Secret Tasks.
