Welcome to the Taskman Tutorial page!

Table of contents:


Welcome to Taskman!

The official taskman challenge is played on a fresh ironman account and follows all of the rules, even when it means being inefficient! A taskmain is any other account type, be it an old ironman, a non-ironman or even a fresh ironman who only wants to play by a few of the rules. Taskmains have the option of rolling only certain types of task (such as MQC, boss log or runescore) and rolling from any tier, while taskmen will roll every task from the first tier before moving on to the next. Additionally, taskmen who have completed the tutorial appear on the leaderboard, where you can see your tier progression, your overall progression and your average time per task. If you ever wish to change your account type, be warned - you may only change from man to main, never the other way. Take a look at the leaderboards now and see how you compare to our leading taskmen!

What Does It Mean to Be a Taskman?

Taskmen are accounts eligible for leaderboards, and they begin their account as Taskmen with the intention of exclusively following Taskman rules. For those who prefer not to play exclusively under Taskman rules, there's an alternative mode called Taskmain.

While there are numerous rules in this game mode, a few important ones are essential to grasp when you start. You don't need to stress about memorizing every rule. Instead, use the rule page as a reference for your current task, rather than attempting to plan too far ahead. Here are some key rules to remember:

  • You must not gain experience that isn't directly required for your active task.
  • You cannot initiate quests unless they are directly required for your active task.
  • We highly recommend that you thoroughly read and become acquainted with rules 1-3. You can look up the remaining rules when you receive a specific task.

Welcome to Taskman!

We hope you enjoy your time here. If you've already taken a look at the rules and are feeling overwhelmed, don't worry. In this tutorial, we'll help you understand some of the most important rules as you begin your account. We also recommend joining our Discord server where you can ask questions directly.

How Taskman Works:

  • In Taskman, you typically roll tasks and then complete them. Once you roll a task, you are locked into completing it without completing any other tasks.
  • Please note that tasks labeled "Taskman Tutorial" can be completed at any time due to website constraints.
  • Follow this guide to take yourself through the tutorial!

Taskman Tutorial: Combat

Task Description

Task: Obtain a unique item from a goblin. In Taskman Mode, even goblins have unique drops and are off-limits until you roll the tasks to kill them.

Goblin Drops to Consider

  • Goblin Book (Collection Log Item)
  • Goblin Mail (Collection Log Item)
  • Champion Scroll (Goblin) (Not Collection Log, but Unique from Goblins)


Determining if You Can Kill Goblins Without a Task

  • Can I avoid killing this monster for my task?
  • Have I already obtained all of the uniques?
  • If there are any uniques left, what is their drop rate?

Key Rule

Referring to the major rule in §2 METHODS AND ACTIVITIES under section c: You can ignore uniques if they have a drop rate greater than 1/2000:

  • The champion scroll is >1/2000 drop rate, so it can be ignored.
  • Once you have rolled tasks for the Goblin Book and Goblin Mail, you are free to kill goblins for combat experience.

Common Reasons to Kill Monsters

  • You need combat experience for your active task, and they would be good to train on.
  • You need the unique that they drop for your active task (such as obtaining a champion scroll).


Once you have obtained your goblin unique, return to this tutorial.

Taskman Tutorial: Combat Part 2

Congratulations on completing your first task! Go ahead and search for "Taskman Tutorial" in the task list, and complete the "Combat" task. (ADD DIRECT LINK TO TASK)

Some tasks will overlap, especially when you have multiple monsters that drop the same items. Because of this, occasionally when you complete one task, that means another task will become completable. If this ever happens, you can manually complete a task. Because the goblin unique was under the "Misthalin slayer log", you can go ahead and mark off that unique by going (LINK HERE TO TASK), selecting the item you obtained in the dropdown, and completing the task.

Taskman Tutorial: Supply Tasks

Supply tasks are tasks that allow you to stock up on consumable items to help you through your Taskman journey. In this tutorial, we will take you through a supply task, and how they will benefit you going forward.

Getting Food During Combat Tasks

  • You might be wondering how to obtain food for combat tasks. Since you're not allowed to gain unnecessary experience, this means you are not allowed to fish and cook food, nor thieve food from stalls.
  • This is where "Supply Tasks" come into play. For your first supply task, your goal is to "stock up" on 20 Crayfish. This means you can fish and cook Crayfish until you have a total of 20 cooked crayfish.

Please return to this tutorial once you have obtained 20 cooked crayfish.

Taskman Tutorial: Supply Tasks Part 2

Congratulations on completing your first supply task! Go ahead and search for "Taskman Tutorial" and complete the Supply Task task. Once completed, head back to your dashboard.

If you hadn't yet noticed, below your main Taskman dashboard is a list titled "Unlocks." If you look at "Cooking", you will see that you now have an unlock there. Unlocks are gained through completing tasks that have the (ADD UNLOCK SYMBOL) in their task description. These unlocks are generally to be helpful as you progress in your Taskman journey. Your cooking unlock allows you to stockpile 20 crayfish. This means whenever you run out of food, you are allowed to fish and cook up to 20 more crayfish for your adventures. While this is a small amount of a low-healing food, this unlock will upgrade over time as you complete more supply tasks.

Taskman Tutorial: Passives

By now, you may have noticed a category of tasks called "passive tasks." While these tasks are subject to the normal rules of Taskman, they are unique in the fact that they can be completed while they are not your active task. You cannot work on a passive task that does not give experience relevant to your active task. If your active task is to get fishing levels, you cannot do a passive that requires you to mine. However, many passives may not require any experience, and therefore could be completed at any time. This is true for some minigames, such as Castle Wars. Passive tasks are required to move on to the next tier, so don't neglect them!

Let's work on a passive task now: "Taskman Tutorial: Passives". Reading the description of this task tells you how to complete it. Now, you may be asking yourself "How do I complete this if it requires farming experience?" Farming is a unique skill in that the majority of the skill can be passively trained. This is due to the time requirements of farming, and we would not want you to roll a task that would take 10 real-life hours to complete without being able to play your account. Go ahead and read the task, do what it says, and complete it!


Taskman Tutorial: Finale

Thank you for taking the time to read through and participate in our tutorial! We understand that this game mode can be overwhelming, and we are here to help. Please stop by our clan chat "Taskman" or discord and feel free to ask questions or advice.
