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.

Will this continue to not be available for Ironman? Partner slayer is fun, didn’t know if by having it where you can’t abuse xp etc, it would become available for regular Ironman also?

There would still be an advantage to partner up, so there is no intent to make that available for Ironman accs.

cheers, should be fixed now for all new tasks.

They're removing the quest requirement from going into the cave itself since it was used for the quest only, but now it will also house a boss. It's not some change to Araxxor itself where you were supposed to have the quest completed but they're changing it now.

And just to be clear, the entrance to the cave is always there, and the only reason why you can't enter the cave now is because your character doesn't see a good enough reason why.

u/JagexArcane (or Mod Mack or someone else, not sure who's the best to ask) - regarding the Colosseum, could we know the exact mechanics for how a Minotaur decides whether to heal or attempt to attack the player? 

Loving the content btw, almost 400 KC in and I'm looking forward to many more.

The minotaur has a timer on it, if the player is in melee range when the timer runs, it will melee you.

If you're not, then it will scan for a radius of 10 tiles from it's centre coordinate, respecting line of sight.
If it finds an NPC in this radius that is:
- not a minotaur
- has less than 75% of its total hitpoints
- its centre coordinate is also in the line of sight to the minotaurs centre coordinate
- and is 7 or less tiles away

Then it heals the npc

Is there a part of that dungeon where there is multi combat kurasks? I always thought that'd be awesome.

fire giant boss but its a giant spider on fire?

Yo, quick question, "We’ve improved the drop rates of Medium, Hard and Elite Clue Scrolls from gnomes, paladins and heroes"

By how much? currently grinding 1000 caskets of every clue type. will this be a viable way to get clues now?

Mediums from gnomes is intended to be a decent way to farm them, hard and specifically elite clues aren't really intended to be a strong way of purely farming clues though, moreso an alternative if you are training thieving and want to get some clues along the way.
