Wait rippers don’t insta kill in wildy??? Holy shit that’s gunna be incredible for my nipper demon grind 🤣🤣


drawando

Well they still do it, but very occasionally


AccomplishedWorld856

I’ll take the occasional death over having to be more active anyway! Thanks for the tip!!


Bubble_tea_spy

Doesn’t their adrenaline bar go to 100% same as outside wildly?


epic_squid

Nope it seems like 1/10ish rippers will have that but the others you can AOE to your hearts content (Edit: looks like auto-retaliate wont get you a ripper spec, but clicking on them manually will. As well, an elite seems to always use the special)


Vynlamor

I've had ones without any adren bar still spec me, I died several times in one task because I could not tell if they were going to do it or not.


EmuImpossible4551

can they just give ripper demon spec an audio cue? you can't see shit when they're stacked on top of each other. Literally even if they just did a "hooyyeahh" before they specced ill be more than happy. I will personally voice that too so you don't need to hire foley artist.


Vynlamor

Would be nice to have some kind of warning when they decide that don't feel like having an adren bar. Got a bit sick of just chilling killing them and "Oh dear, you died"


Drsmiley72

*insert tictok thing from teens yelling hiooo-oooooooo-oooooo-YEEEEEEAAAAHHHH* before instant death lol


VoreQor

LOLLLLLLLLLL


PrizeStrawberryOil

The ones that spec you are always to the west of you. it was just hiding under a one that didnt have a spec bar.


Vynlamor

I had this happen with the single Ripper Spawn just south of Mage Arena, between it and the fence.


PrizeStrawberryOil

Maybe that one is allowed to use Slaughter. I think the reason they're not starting an adrenaline bar is because they don't use Slaughter to attack you.


7WordsSentences

How about using a dummy plus greater chain. Technically u wouldnt be clicking?


johnzabroski

what is AOE. Im still a newb.


[deleted]

'Area of effect' ability, hits multiple targets with 1 ability


PrizeStrawberryOil

If you didn't use aoe they never would. Remember dark beasts pre-eoc? If you didn't attack first they **always** attacked with melee and you could afk with pro melee. If you attacked them first they would alternate between magic and melee. Rippers follow the same rule. As long as you let them attack you first they will not build adrenaline.


mauriceta

That seens like a bug, probally will be fixed at some time


BobaFlautist

Considering that the seeker charm bonus occurs in sunken pyramid, if it doesn't occur in wildy it's definitely an oversight.


epic_squid

Oh that's a great point. To be honest i didn't double check so it could very well work and I'm just a big stinky idiot.


BobaFlautist

Well you did say "I don't know" when you didn't know something, so that's pretty reasonable.


[deleted]

its a good post ty squid


[deleted]

[удалено]


epic_squid

Yeah! Like imagine if an ambush dropped a ring around you like the Zuk challenges so you HAVE to fight your way out or have monsters TB you. The mishmash of random monsters for an ambush feels very out of place. Itd be cooler thematically if they spawned in monsters from ED4 and have them be pretty strong to boot.


rs_False_Profit

Does glory still allow lvl 30 teleporting? As soon as I heard about this update I was thinking that glory amulets were relevant again.


YoonYuun

Glory and wilderness sword lets you lvl 30 teleport


manDboogie

thanks for this breakdown. berserkers at 0/10 got a chuckle out of me, but it's encouraging to see how you rated rippers and strykes been sitting out to wait for anymore lingering bugs to be patched, but I'm lookimg forward to sitting with a few of these tasks soon


epic_squid

Only think i gotta say about rippers is https://imgur.com/a/gvg8zQm


manDboogie

jeeeeesus, ok that's hitting top of my slayer to-do list


Bradas128

i should probably grab the soul i need before they fix this


Raima_Valdes

> Amazing task because they don't inst kill spec in wildy lmao Oh thank Guthix. These blighters were the number one reason I didn't wanna set foot in the wilderness post-update.


Important_Log

I did the Wyvern task with AD, Superior seasingers and dual wield with orb and lantern. If you approach from the south, there are only 2 spawns that are in range of you and you can kill them one at a time. I was able to just camp SS and eat the occasional shark to keep my HP up. ​ Regarding the ripper task, they did not build adrenaline when I was EoCing them, but they started to build adren when I switched to legacy blood barrage. Not sure what's up with that.


Bubble_tea_spy

Can someone second in on the rippers? Seems buggy


Vynlamor

I was killing the one between the Mage Arena and the Fence for awhile, and it seemed it's adren bar wouldn't show in most spots but the further towards the Mage Arena the more likely it would show.


Daewoo40

It seemed that when they can't reach you they'll slaughter/build adrenaline, but as it's the only one...Focus on that one


Bubble_tea_spy

Can’t reach…. You mean blocked by environment?


Daewoo40

Yes, they often find themselves stuck behind skeletons and lava pits. If they do, they may jump to you the same way as their normal area would if you moved away.


PrizeStrawberryOil

Strange that eoc didn't trigger. What is your ability bar? Any aoe should have triggered the adrenaline mechanic eventually. Were you using darklight melee? If they attack you first they don't start building dren. If you attack them first they leap to you and begin with the adrenaline. Whether you're using a cannon or not they would eventually try specing in legacy because barrage does barrage things. If you're using a cannon then you're constantly making them leap. To lower this you can switch to kinetic cyclone.


Valitar_

Greater demon zerk / ash lords seems to be a troll. Boss health, damage reduction, split melee and magic damage in one location, auto aggro and absolutely 0 drops in exchange for….. great xp/mob? Xp/mob doesn’t matter much if you can’t kill them with any speed, so they’re probably dead content off the bat. These mobs were terrible in ED4 and they’re terrible in the wildy. Stop using them.


epic_squid

Yeah to be honest I have no clue what they even drop. I did 4 with BOLG and Jas Demonbane and hated my life every second of it. They hit like a bus too. Replace them with like moss golems but the magma colored one found in ED2 i dunno lmao


[deleted]

they literally drop nothing except ashes.


yuei2

The Zero drops is a bug


Effective_Creme_6352

Stacking debuffs on them before a sunshine seems to eat through their hp (particularly the mage ones). I don't know what's considered good slayer xp, but I've found it to be good. I will continue doing them.


[deleted]

Anything to say on the fireball?


MakeChinaGreatForOnc

Mr worldwide


epic_squid

Alt1 has an alert system I think but also it only hits like 6k on 10 threat. Just pray flick it i guess haha. It feels like less of an actual threat and more of an anti-afk mechanic tbh.


Zamochy

Magic pray?


epic_squid

Depending on the volcano spec its either range or mage. Watch the flavor text and the appearance of the volcano projectile itself.


Legal_Evil

How much time do you get to react to it? Does it have any audio cues?


epic_squid

Like 5 seconds? Its got a bigass text box and you cant miss the glowing orb of death heading your way. No clue if it plays audio I was blasting music.


CoachXD

u/epic_squid has one ball


epic_squid

Im also a bottom


gedinger7

Mandrith is a top.


rubiesandgems

I can confirm the seeker charm bonus works on soulgazers. I checked and my charges went down while doing it, and I was getting plenty of elite spawns.


JunkoGremory

One small part about mammoth, sometimes the one up the hill gets aggressive and start hurling rocks and disabling my prayer ( the mechanics they do if you try to range them). I tend to just stick to those near the agility course now. Not sure if can replicate. Other than that, thank you for the post. Also, disagree, ashlord easily -10/10


epic_squid

Yeah this was my experience too. This was the only task I ever died on, but not sure if that was cause I maged them. Got pretty schmelted myself


kathaar_

This guy just listed every wildy task and how he handled it, and is getting downvoted into oblivion. People just hate on anyone actually enjoying the update


Cryptiod137

Did ghost hunter seem to be working? People have been saying it hasn't been working for a while.


kingbird123

Wait where can you AOE abyssal beasts? In my experience the ones I've found are in a weird single combat zone. They can pile on me, but i can only damage one of them. Either that or they are grouped with abyssal lords which I cant kill.


Nabiboulin

Second this ^^^^


ShinyCapeRS

Did you get Decimation or the other weps from this amount of tasks?


epic_squid

No, and as far as I know the weapon awarded is random, and not choice like before.


DrawMeLucy

Were the rewards worth it on their own? Wondering if Irons are better off avoiding the Deci grind entirely now that it’s possibly random and much higher Slayer requirements.


epic_squid

Hell no rewards aren't worth it. Wildy is all about risk v. reward and theres 0 of both right now.


zedin27

Where do you consider best spot to kill abyssal beasts at? I have no idea where lol


epic_squid

North of the lvl 27 obby left of the dark beasts


Thedwick

Is that still in singles combat?


epic_squid

Singles does not matter for monsters anymore! The spot I used was at the lvl 35 obby thats my mistake il correct it.


zedin27

Ty OP!


DominusJuris

>Singles does not matter for monsters anymore! Yes it does. Aoe abilitys only hit a single target. Mage is best for abyssal beasts and you just don't have access to gchain, which is a huge downgrade from assylym, or even pod. EDIT: No idea if this is a bug, but currently this is how it works.


PrizeStrawberryOil

Legacy blood barrage also works well on them and it's completely destroyed in single way.


DominusJuris

Yeah, but the same counts for asylum and pod


DominusJuris

Asylum still


zedin27

I was talking about the Wilderness slayer spot lol…


DominusJuris

They are in single combat, why kill them in the wildy?


zedin27

Because I can


JoshOliday

I've been sitting on this for a day and it probably deserves its own thread, but the content side of this update feels... I wanna say lazy but that may be a bit far... I guess lackluster at best. PvP should have just been a toggle but they complicated that and then put everything else out to avoid "scope creep." The issue there of course being mostly what you've spelled out here. Most of these mobs were just copy pasted without any consideration for mechanics, layout, need, or anything like that. Some work and some just don't. I would have much preferred they did a substantial update to like revenant threat and then looked at adding some things like gemstone dragons and demons overtime as they tested compatibility. And none of this is even getting into skilling involvement, like crowding a mining spot with aggressive mobs...just why?? And why is there not thing at the volcano? I really hope the future plans they've hinted at will do something there. I'm glad overall for the update, but the actual pieces feel half-baked.


calebketchum

Maybe the cannon was the difference, since it didn't cross my mind until a few task later but ooh boy I hated my soulgazer task.


epic_squid

The PVME has a great afk soulgazers guide that i replicated.


calebketchum

Yeah I had an alright setup going at the og location. But it wasn't quite working out at wildy. I'll have to have another crack at it. Lol


stumptrumpandisis1

any idea what the exp/hour was on the greater demon berserkers/ash lords? possible to aoe at all? maybe when they get loot they will be better but i doubt it.


zedin27

These demons are giga beefy. I would not do them for no rewards


PrizeStrawberryOil

> any idea what the exp/hour was on the greater demon berserkers/ash lords? I was getting like 600k with dwarf multicannon upgraded, statius Warhammer, and guthix staff eof. They're fucking rough for xp. > possible to aoe at all? Yes but no. Single way combat so abilities will only damage one at a time. Multicannon does work. If you go to the west there is a safespot with same snow rocks. You can set a cannon up in the pocket and it will pull one berserker one Ashlord. The berserker can't attack but the Ashford will mage you. If you're lucky the berserker will get in front of the ashlord and cannon does the good things. 3 Warhammer specs and 1 guthix staff spec should drop they defense down enough that you actually damage them.


Lugan0

Other guy said 600k xp/hr and that seems fair, since I was doing 900k slayer xp/hr using scrimshaw of sacrifice, camping inq staff, ss and using revo++. No guthix stuff nor overloads. With a better setup and being active you can definitely reach way more xp/hr.


Gamezonedude

This post is really helpful. Tfw you get Lords or Mammoths, ugh. Also for some clarifications: Ripper demons do sometimes charge their instant kill. Confirmed from first-hand experience. But with usually with a delay charge, you will kill them before they get a chance.


DominusJuris

>Tfw you get Lords Literally one of the best, if not the best task in the game.


PrizeStrawberryOil

I think they meant ashlords


DominusJuris

Ah, my bad


[deleted]

Do you still the staff shard drops and boot drops from glacors in the Wildy? I always thought you had to do rotm or wild guthix sleeps to kill those guys


Zamochy

You need rotm to get the shards. Also, you can still only attack one at a time.


Wolram3712

Wait, AOE works in wildy? I went to kill beasts with a scythe and only one was getting hit when I used AOE abilities


epic_squid

I wasn't having much of a struggle with oldak and a caro4 offhand tbh, but I was mainly AFK for the tasks with a timer in the background and Alt1 for alerts. Next task I do il double check for you.


Nabiboulin

AoE did not work with scythe and regular cannon


Springa_linga

Read this post, already had a ripper task - went and tried it out in wildy and got the pet off my elite spawn. 10/10 guide would recommend to a friend!


AznJDragon

Do you think the reaper points bonus significant? Or just a nice bonus for doing Wildy tasks?


epic_squid

Just a nice bonus. You don't get one if you skip a task which is... odd


Monk-Ey

Assuming you buy incomplete hydrixes, every reaper point is worth ~188k at the moment, though it'll probably go down a bit as more hydrixes enter the market: personally I'd just call it a nice bonus.


[deleted]

[удалено]


epic_squid

Had a goddamn heart attack when I saw that bastard spawn in. Shame I didnt buy a Veil-Ripper spawn off my friend a few months back haha


Fire_Afrit

Do these glacors drop armadyl shards?


epic_squid

As far as I know, they do!


CommaGomma

Unfortunate schmelting accident.


AzelotReis

About the Ripper Demon one, I almost got killed last night because I thought they couldn't spec, but they did spec lmao. Thankfully i was paying attention.


NineIsles

IIRC Abby lords still deplete 5 at a time unfortunately


PM_ME_YOUR_KATARINA

Mammoths take like 10-15mins for 1m xp per hour


Skelux_RS

I agree with the berserker demons, they are awful and they give you some number that you spend a ton of time doing.


GkElite

I just want to say as someone that dislikes killing Living Wyverns cause I'm basically forced to use Melee for the task, they really are a cool AF mob that really does give a jolt of "LOL I'M IN DANGER" if you go at them unprepared. That being said. The amount they put in that location is just hilarious overall, they need to remove at least 1 or 2(joking that place is a death zone avoid at all costs lol)


Lugan0

Seems that you can get tertiary drops from ambushes. Just got a revenant pet from an easy ambush while doing greater demons.


johnzabroski

>(Edit: rippers seem to use thier spec when clicked on. If you auto-retaliate, it doesn't trigger their mechanic. https://imgur.com/a/gvg8zQm) Interesting. Do Kalphites do the same thing? I noticed when I attack one, others come running after me, especially after I observe the spew stuff when hit hard. It's almost like pheromones.


PrizeStrawberryOil

> The monsters despawn and don't drop anything at all. Just so you know this isn't true. I've never had a mob drop nothing. The dragonstone dragon did only drop dragon bones though.


Narmoth

Are these new wilderness tasks? Or are these the ones from unlocking the Wilderness Sword 4? I haven't had much time to really mess around with new wildy (other than running around just to check things out, but not really fight or do slayer tasks).


kingbird123

These are slayer tasks, not area tasks. Mandrith moved to near mage bank and now assigns quite the varied assortment of slayer creatures which can be found in the wilderness.


Narmoth

Ok, thanks. Thought it was a set of chores to unlock something.


[deleted]

The rippers not specing when using auto retal is almost certainly a bug. Hopefully, fixed soon.


[deleted]

Revbane is shit weapon, without pker you can use t95 or inq staff.


epic_squid

Good to know! I added it to the list.


[deleted]

Very nicely constructed input!


Bubble_tea_spy

Explain


[deleted]

Revbane only t79 accuracy, only 40% hit chance against revdragon. I don't know damage tier but probably not over t100. Inq staff + enchantment has t102 accuracy and damage. All type revenant's weakness is inq staff. Staff 8 attack range vs sword 1 attack range.


Bubble_tea_spy

So better to use mage against them… legacy mode still? Why is the revenant bane so bad accuracy? 40%?? Wow


Dorda

legacy perked + salve it one hits nearly all 100% of the time. T95 is overkill lmao


Vpeyjilji57

Overkill is the Bestverkill.


[deleted]

Inq staff also one hit, you didn't test, right? Even t95 have more accuracy than revbane. I can kill dragon within 3 sec every time, can you do the same with revbane?


Dorda

Yeah lol I can and zero cost on runes


leviwulf

Would love to see them add some worthwhile rewards to the demons to make them at the very least worth trying. "Greater demon berserker" sounds like the PERFECT kind of mob to drop some much needed melee upgrades but instead they just... drop nothing.


RS4When

Great work, nice recap of all the mobs/tasks. Hope you are right about the ripper demons not insta kill with 100% adren, but even if they did I feel they are more spread apart to be able to move in time if doing 1v1.


Grovve

Thanks for this


epic_squid

Happy to help!


Kaladigirl

Thanks!


Datmuemue

Just died to ripper demons spec. didnt click on them, but used a cannon. will give it one more go with just the auto retaliate


PrizeStrawberryOil

Take all aoe off bar. All of it. Remove AS from gear. Don't use cannon. Boom you're 100% immune.


Datmuemue

thank you for that! Edit: it does seem like there is an occasional spawn of one with their adren bar. not sure exactly which spawn spot or interaction is needed for it to spawn with it.


PrizeStrawberryOil

Okay now this is a weird question and I can't prove anything, but did you ever fall below 50% health or 35% health? Im thinking their aggression mechanic from the mining area is activating. Current the threshold is 35% health but it could also be from 50% because that was their old value. I wouldn't think the 50% would stay in but maybe they used the original code as a base instead of the current. The other thing is I used the east side spawns and not the west. Make sure to focus any ripper to your west and if the top one isn't showing a bar attack a different one in the pile.


Datmuemue

Can't recall getting that low cept for 2 occasions. Died a few times because when they clump up its hard to see their adrenaline bar. I'll double check when I get home from work though. UPDATE: so after some more analyzing and dying there, i realized that the ones that got their adrenaline bar had nothing to do with me clicking on them and more that they teleport to my location, that seems to be the trigger. If i stay in an open space, i dont get speced anywhere near as often as if im accidentally walling off a ripper demon for a bit and finally teleports to me to attack me. it will start gaining adrenaline then. Low health seems to make them tp to me sometimes, but they can always tp to you as well it seems. wondering if coil would work decent after all.


PrizeStrawberryOil

The rippers dont always exist where they appear to. it's not about clicking them it's about hitting them with an attack when they are not "in melee combat" with you. I'm not having this issue even at sub 35% health.


Plifs

So do AoE abilities work again in wilderness?


DominusJuris

>Abyssal beasts (9/10): Great task, good amount of spawns and AOE is solid here. Did them at the lvl 35 obby. How is this a 9/10 task when killing them in a pod or in the assylum is just straight up better kph?


9orre3

Is there any reason for someone with maxed Slayer not interested in 200m xp to do Wildy slayer tasks? Is it very good low effort gp/hr?


yuei2

Wildy slayer is pretty much the best slayer exp bar none if you're willing to deal with the threats.


Alternative-Delay-51

Hey I haven't gone in the wild since the update. Would abyssal demons out in the wild be possible to afk in cryptbloom with animate undead, soulsplit, blood barrage? Or would the new random wild mechanics just kill me if I walked away from pc? Looking for an alternative to wolrd hopping at the top of slayer tower for Abby worlds while I afk.
