Can they be killed off-task with a boost?
Should be the case yeah! Assuming you're in the off-task area

Just want to say thanks. I know on the first blog post. I made sure to give feedback on how annoying getting specific tasks can be if its too low. Making it a 10 is fantastic news. Hopefully everything goes smoothly today
10 should be fantastic news if it's a task people enjoy at least!
Will the regular mob have a superior variant as well?
Yeah! It's mentioned in the blog!
Any superior variants ?
Yep, very edgy big spider.
Do we have to unlock the task beforehand with slayer points? Or will Araxxites be a normal task like hellhounds or gargoyles?
Araxytes will be unlocked by default for both Nieve & Duradel
Is it possible to use wild pies to fight arraxor?
Don't believe wild pies let you boost to obtain tasks, but they would let you kill regular araxytes below the required level.
Can you kill the non-boss ones off task?
There are task-only caves, but also regular ones you can kill off task.
Can we extend araxxor task?
Yes, significantly so.
I don't really see how having the boots dropped from the barrage/cannonable slayer monster(since the intention is to have them be a good xp barrage task) is gonna make them more valuable. Since good xp barrage/multi tasks are the preferred way to 99, id think they would come into the game passively irregardless.
Still cool to have a unique reason to kill the regulars outside of the boss tho. I like it.
The theory is that if players have to kill something else specifically for a reward, they wont come in as much passively from e.g. farming rancours, and can have their own value that isn't dictated by that inflated supply.
Reality is players might just genuinely do regular araxytes for xp, and will passively bring some in regardless.
Boss tasks that can only be completed solo (e.g. Zulrah, Cerberus, Kraken) now award the correct amount of points if you're on a task with a Slayer Partner.
What about normal tasks still awarding incorrect amount of points (rounded down instead of up)?
Believe this is purely an issue with expeditious bracelets, will be fixed next week.
I did, good spot! Been a while since I've gotten to write a Game Update blog, embarrassed for making such a rookie error :(
further proof jmods dont play the game smh
I once gave a player advice in hallowed sepulchre... it was an npc
LOL, thanks, this just made my day.
I remember coding all of those NPCs and having a lot of fun doing so
It was clear action needed to be taken to protect the future health of the game. As such, we can confirm the following:
- A further 204 accounts have been permanently banned for various offences within Old School RuneScape.
Can Jagex clarify is this 204 accounts permanently banned on top of the "over 140 already" as it implies? bringing the total to over 345+, or is this 204 total accounts.
I think it's important because to me 204 accounts in total, most being throw aways is something I am not happy with. 204 on top of the 140+ throw aways, that is something that sounds like real action.
The bans mentioned in this post are in addition to any previous action that has already been taken.
Thanks for the response, I've edited my original message to include that its being shutdown. I was aware of the discord and I used to actually read quite a few of the discussions, however as someone who disagreed but wasn't able to participate, it felt like it could easily become an echo chamber. Happy to see other methods are being looked into.
Thanks for making the edit!
I also agree on the echo chamber part. We didn't really like how limited chatting was either, but in truth we didn't have the resources available to change it so it was just left there.
When a new place for PvP discussion inevitably opens up again we have a lot of learnings to put into place to so hoping it'll be a much better offering for everyone :)
Glad this has been done, but ROT leaders are still ranked contributor's in the PVP feedback discord with direct access to J-Mods to influence the game. Surely this privilege should be removed due to this?
Edit: Mod Goblin posted that the server will be shutdown https://imgur.com/0jlNjMq
The Discord has been closed and will ultimately be moved over to the official Old School Discord in the future.
Just in the interest of clarity though, this Discord server has always been public for people to view. We just had to limit discussion to certain individuals which were based on an application form when it was first set up to help facilitate PvP talks with people who engaged with it directly. There was no bias to any clan when we were doing this process, as we wanted to hear from as many sides as possible (it's very easy to find one particular clan suggest a series of ideas that benefit them, whereas another will have alternate views etc.)
In hindsight, there were much better ways we could have gone about this, but at the time we did what felt fair and the best approach (it was set up a fair few years back now!)
I'm ready and here for it.

I'm ready and here for it.
After just finishing the Bear, I highly approve of this and the show!
