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 leaderboard eligible accounts who start their account as a taskman, with the intention of only playing within the taskman rules. For those who do not wish to play exclusively with Taskman rules, there is an alternative mode called a Taskmain.

While there are many rules in the game mode, there are a few important ones to know as you start. Don't worry too much about memorizing every rule, and use the rule page as a guideline for your current task rather than trying to plan ahead. Some useful rules to know at the start:

- You may not gain experience that is not directly required for your active task.

- You may not start quests unless they are directly required for your active task.

We recommend that you read through and familiarize yourself with rules 1-3. The remainder of the rules can be searched for when you roll a particular task.

Taskman Tutorial

Welcome to Taskman! We hope that you enjoy your time here. Chances are you have already looked through the rules and feel very overwhelmed. During this tutorial, we will cover some of the most important rules as you start your account. We recommend joining our discord server where you can ask questions directly.

Normally while playing Taskman, you will roll tasks and then complete them. Due to website constraints, tasks labelled "Taskman Tutorial" may be completed at any time. Please 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, 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 >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

At this point, you're probably wondering how you're supposed to get food during a combat task. You aren't allowed to gain unnecessary experience, so you can't fish or cook. This also makes thieving cakes or other food off-limits. This is where "Supply Tasks" come in. For your first supply task, please successfully "stock up" on 20 Crayfish. This means that you can fish them and cook them until you have 20 total cooked crayfish.

Please return to this tutorial once you have 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!
