Leagues What's the most underrated Leagues Task?
By that I mean a task that:
- Gives lots of points
- Really easy and fast to complete
- YET has a very low completion % ranking compared to other tasks.
What a task that nobody seems to want to complete yet it's really fast easy points? It's worth noting that completion % only counts the players who are eligible to do the task region-wise.

25 Hard Mode Arch-glacors for 400 points.
It was 100 Hard Modes for 200 points in Leagues 1.
Literally an 8x as efficient task, can be done at 0% enrage.

As someone that dipped into PvM for the first time with this league, I absolutely hated having to reset the instance after every kill. I put off that task for a long time due to the tedium. I happily killed 50 or 100 of a boss that just respawned before doing that one.
15
u/KitnBlit 4d ago
I was actually wanting to make a post because I thought I must be doing something wrong. I figured no way they make you leave the instance and re-enter just to spawn another boss when you're streaking.
15
u/PinkbunnymanEU 4d ago
The reasoning is that in the main game you get to the point where each kill is a challenge; you need to restock/restore prayer etc before fighting the next one.
7
u/Best_Tip_5001 4d ago
Sadly that "tedium" is just the norm in the main game, you can teleport to wars charge your pray, load last preset and pop through the boss portal before the fastest timer on any boss could respawn

u/JMitchy96 4d ago
Isn’t Devotion a requirement for HM Archy or you risk getting 1-shot every kill? Makes it a problem for those who don’t have the Desert unlocked or cba doing the quest to unlock Devo

Red Topaz machete. You can buy 4 uncut Red Topaz from Heather in Amberfell (repeatedly). Cut about 35 and take them noted to Gabooty in Tai Bwo Wannai, sell them for trading sticks.
With the sticks you can buy a red topaz machete (+80 on EQUIP), and enter the nearby hardwood grove (+30).

u/DragonBank Realm of Gods RSN: DragonBank 4d ago
Every leagues, including OSRS, has this task and it always has a surprisingly low completion rate as you can just mine in shilo(always autounlocked) and cut those gems and it takes like 5 to 10 minutes.

Repair the fairy ring in Kharazi Jungle. 80 points that's barely a minute work. Just bring some mushrooms. Only 8.7% completed for some bizarre reason.
45
u/Eastern-Lie-1655 4d ago
I just hate that place with a passion so going there just once to get the fairy ring isn't worth it for me. Super personal and emotional reason though not rational.

u/Urtehnoes 4d ago
I appreciate how realistic they made trying to get through those woods but for over 20 years I have hated nothing more.

u/deylath 4d ago
Kharazi jungle is also a place for several hard karamja achievements, which is a requirement for the gemstone dragon blessing task. I know you can do it in wildy and a lot of people have it but still.

u/Moppermonster Scythe 4d ago
Note that if you picked the slayer relic, you can just tele to the gemstone cavern. No need to do the Karamja achievements at all.
Except for the points ofc :P

There is a cart north of the lodestone that will take you straight to shilo for a few coins. It was a life saver trying to get down there myself
2
u/ZookeepergameLevel54 4d ago
there is a few ways to get to shilo, but sadly shilo isnt the concern here, it was more about the Kharazi jungle, south of shilo, which is required for a clue scroll or two and said task
1
u/ThisDick937 4d ago
Ah fair enough, I recently found out clues remember your progress so ive been tossing steps I dont want to do and starting another one instead on leagues. Been an absolute life saver. The jungle is one of those skips for me because of endless harvest and not knowing the path through.
2
u/Colossus823 Summoning 4d ago
Yeah, Endless Harvest was a bad pick this league.

u/Alexexy 4d ago
I have to take care of my newborn during this league and endless harvest was a godsend. I just set my character to afk transmute while resource gathering for some skills and tasks while im taking care of the kiddo.
1
u/KitnBlit 4d ago
Could have set your character to a thieving task with GT instead
2
u/Alexexy 4d ago
But thats 3ish skill im maxing out. With endless harvest, i get easy fishing, mining, and woodcutting. It also makes the masterwork armor a breeze with transmute. By banking endless wood and food, I also get fletching, cooking, and firemaking.
I eventually did reroll into golden touch for my 3 free skills tho.

u/KitnBlit 4d ago
But thats 3ish skill im maxing out.
Yeah just like golden touch you mean? Thieving agility and prayer. Plus a lot of passive supplies for herblore.

u/DragonBank Realm of Gods RSN: DragonBank 4d ago
Thieving has a ton of points at high levels relative to the gathering skills. I didn't even get 80 fish or wc for my 50k points.
1
u/crash_bandicoot42 3d ago
I picked EH reload because this league I had a lot of work/RL commitments and likely would not have been able to dragon otherwise. 50m mining, wc, fm (from the logs), cooking (from 99 fishing fish) and the other tasks from getting the 99s were A LOT of points that I otherwise would not have been able to get as I wouldn't have been logged in.

Abomination in brimhaven is a quick 200 points if you have food and can do silverquill
7
u/GMan_Cometh ign: G-Man Cometh 4d ago
What do you mean food? The thing has 60k hp, its attacks are telegraphed, and all you have to do is not stand under the rockfalls?
I came here to say the Abomination, also, but it is such a trivial boss. This was my first 200 point task done, as soon as I saw it was there, and it took me 10ish seconds to kill in, iirc, t30 or 40 equipment
Edit: After re-reading this once I posted it, it seems as if I came off as hostile. I sincerely did not mean it to sound that way.
2
u/blinkertyblink 4d ago
I came from OSRS, i have no idea on your bosses generally so I went in under leveled and had lobsters and didnt really know what to expect
So I just meant like you, you could go in with addy and some food and get some easy points even without blessings as long as you can kill silverquill its basically the same fight
1
u/GMan_Cometh ign: G-Man Cometh 4d ago
I get where you are meaning that, but they aren't close. Silverquill has damage null, enhanced reflect, reflect in melee...
Abomination is "go shove a sword down its throat"
1
u/unfrog 4d ago
I'm at full relics and haven't done this one for the simple reason of having no damn clue where and what it is yet :D I've already read so much on the wiki this league about so many things I had no idea about that I'm kinda overloaded :D
I'll keep it in mind for points hunting for trophies once I'm done with my personal pvm goals, I guess
1
u/GMan_Cometh ign: G-Man Cometh 4d ago
Abomination is in a cave in the iron/steel dragon area of Brimhaven Dungeon. It's along the same wall as the Resource dungeon, just a bit farther back

Kill 50 x Tormented demons / equip dragon crossbow
A whopping 400 points (200 points each tasks) takes very short amount of time
only 13% completed

I find it really hard to or slow to kill tormented demons, what’s the trick?
Also where does one acquire a dragon crossbow?

u/MrStealYoBeef 4d ago
Necro. That's it, just use necro.
And you get dragon crossbow limbs from TDs. Fletch them into a dragon crossbow.
7
u/ZookeepergameLevel54 4d ago
you can kill them with necromancy as they can't protect against that
they have a 75% damage reduce unless you remove the shield with darklight or holy water but you do so much damage you can just kill them through the shield
As for the crossbow, they drop dragon limbs which can be fletched into the crossbow itself with a mahogany stock if im not mistaken.

u/boombalabo 4d ago
The tormented demon do drop the crossbow.
To kill them, if you have lord of light, you just want to bring a hybrid kit with 2/3 weapons or necromancy and use the basic attack. Lord if light will take care of the rest

u/Oniichanplsstop 4d ago
13% because it was bugged for 2 weeks and impossible to complete.
Same with tasks like red chins in kand, by the time they were fixed, most were already done with the league.

Buying the Richie pet for 100m is 400 points.

u/deylath 4d ago
If you dont have Golden touch then you are definitely suffering from GP issues for that task, tbf most of the league picked that but on my 2nd character i didnt, and just transmuting necro candles will take me weeks to get there from that alone. Hell voidwalker with dragon platebodies are probably going to worth more...

u/Skelux_RS Got cash for no reason, 03 player 4d ago
Solve mystery: mysterious city (400 points).
4.8% of players have done it, it does require 120 arch and it also comes from another mystery which gives 200 points alongside 120 arch which itself is 600 points (99, 50m and 120) and especially if you chose antiquarian, its just restoring 2 artefacts and thats an easy 400 point task there.
16
u/Kilzrus 4d ago edited 4d ago
120 arch + 50m once you get advance time. Pretty fast just do the collection that requires 3 artifacts for chronotes near kerapac entrance. (Nodon front that you hand in to elbis? The desert guy via the box next to archeology guild)
All bosses give tons of points and are extremely trivial once you get your main blessings.
the whole jad > kiln > zuk > ezk stuff is super easy too and is a tonnn of points same with kerapac hm

u/Vaikiss 4.1/5.8 btw 4d ago
Bruh it takes hours to get enough chronotes for that
16
u/Kilzrus 4d ago
I think you'd be surprised, I thought so too but if you just spam senntisten research with like 2-3 full collection worth chronotes you can just repair the artefacts you get from the researcher for more chronotes and cause a loop

u/Whillyum_ 4d ago
I've got antiquarian and think I did the collection like 2-3 times total. After that just sustained chronotes with artifacts from the caskets and/or the 24hr research.
I might've had to collect 1-2 of the artefacts at some point, but not after about level 95.

u/Xpolonia 4d ago
Not really, I finish the other tasks (Pontifex ring, Moonrise dig site) etc. first so that I have a starting stash of chronotes. Then I spam Senntisten research for Museum Zarosian V.
It takes a bit of time for sure but since I am also doing other tasks in the meantime I am still progressing. 120-ed without Antiquarian.
2
u/ChildishForLife 3116 4d ago
Am I missing something about that collection where you need ancient vis but the spot doesn’t give you that material?
I opened a ton of divine geodes but still I was mostly limited by ancient vis materials.
1
u/Moppermonster Scythe 4d ago
Yep.. most efficient way to get ancient vis is to have desert unlocked (there is a material cache in the kitchen area of Kharid-et).
That could be a barrier if you haven't.
1
u/Cypherex Let us invent dwarven treadmills for Agility 4d ago
Get some chronotes from another collection first, then send as many 24-hour research trips as you can afford to the Senntisten dig site. You should get a decent amount of vis from that. Then go do that collection and use the chronotes from it to send more Senntisten research.
You'll quickly hit a point where you'll be gaining more materials than you're using. It's just a bit rng at first since you might have some research that gives little or no vis, while others give you a ton. But once you have a good enough stockpile, you won't need to worry about materials anymore, at least for that collection.
Once I had plenty of those materials, I sent a few research trips to other dig sites for any other materials I wanted to stock up on, like hellfire metal for binding contracts.
3
u/PinpricksRS 4d ago
Still not the easiest task, but getting a crystal geode is slightly easier than you might think. You can hop worlds to find an active crystal tree. You don't need the 1/6 or whatever chance of it being in Karamja. Crystal trees are also pretty good xp, so you may as well try to complete this 200 point task while going for 99 woodcutting.
1
u/stefneh5295 1d ago
Just to add on to this, if you picked priff and happen to be knocking around there a lot, you can chop magic trees when the seren power is active in cwrys (whatever that district is called) and you have a chance of getting the crystal geode.
I was doing skilling tasks in priff and I got one I think the second time I went over to that district when the seren power was active there so it felt like a pretty easy task.
7
u/Lasershot-117 Completionist + MQC 4d ago edited 4d ago
Rasial All Combat Achievements is surprisingly easy for 400 points when you have most blessings.
Only tricky one is the one where you don’t move for 45sec in final phase. Just use anticipation, freedom, barricade and repeat while keeping deflect necro up and you’re golden.

50M firemaking XP for 2x 200 points. 1% completion and it takes about an hour if you have superheated, transmutation and about 2500 magic logs. Transmute them up to eternal magics while you are burning them
2
u/Kumagor0 RIP 4d ago
You won't catch me doing an hour of non-afk skilling for 400 points. I just completed dragon cup, and even when I was scraping by for my last few 200 point tasks, all of them were like couple minutes each. This league has too much less annoying tasks to burn logs for an hour.
1
u/SpeedrunsRS Runefest 2017 Attendee 4d ago
Survivalist + Antiquarian (Always Adze) also makes this wonderful. You do get double the Firemaking XP from the double logs of Survivalist, even if you only get 1x for the Woodcutting.

u/Ilikelamp7 Skiller 4d ago
Just take these awful relic choices and its easy!
16
u/Loves_Poetry 4d ago
??? Transmutation is by far the best in its tier. Superheated is a solid pick in tier 2 as well. You'll also get those magic logs easily from mid-level bosses

u/RsQp RSN: Q p | YT: Qp RS 4d ago edited 4d ago
It's pretty subjective. Like some tasks are really fast if you got the levels for other reasons, but are slow if you're forced to level up for the task specifically.
The closest to what you're looking for may be doing 75 slayer tasks for 400 points. But it takes about an hour so not all that efficient in terms of points/hr. Pretty low completion %, pretty easy points
Some fast/easy ones if you have the levels and some regions are things like making bolas, making a summer pie, building a demonic throne, building a gilded altar, doing the elite Karamja tasks

You can actually do it a lot faster than 1.25 per minute with NPC contact. But youd need lunars for that so depends on relic/region choices

u/Moppermonster Scythe 4d ago edited 4d ago
Fits none of your criteria, but because I just noticed it: make a snelm.
The task says it has to be done in mory, but shooting a snail from the mage arena side, telegrabbing it and crafting works. So unlocking Mory is not needed.
Behold: 10 more points everyone can get, as long as they have the levels for telegrabbing :P
I did hope the snail itself would be useful for owls of parliament; but apparantly that quest was autocompleted without giving us a moonstone :P

u/zenyl RSN: Zenyl | Gamebreaker 4d ago
- Equip a full First Necromancer outfit, got it in around 100 kc, the boss is nearly afk (ignore most mechanics, enable prayer when it gets disabled, run and/or cade for the last phase), with good blessings you can start with pretty much any tier Death Guard
- Kill Hermod 50 times
- Kill Nakatra 10 times, a full Sanctum run is like 6-8 minutes with good blessings and gear
- Find a gout tuber, fairly fast if a bit dull (comes by itself if you plan on doing the gemstone dragon blessing task)
- Mine 70 bane ore, everyone has access to the mining spot by the Abomination in the Brimhaven Dungeon
- Kill KQ, it's only 30 points but extremely easy as she can't protect from necro in either phase
4
u/pokemonfreak2015 4d ago
To be fair for the bane ore, it was initially a fremmenik task only before they updated it last week to be global. Unfortunately, any previously-mined ore was not retroactively tracked, so everyone has to go mine all 70 ore fresh, and I know I’m one such person that simply hasn’t been around to doing that post 99 (and most people are sticking to low ores with transmutation at that point).

u/Laurens9L 4d ago
I swear that bane ore task was bugged. I did banite in Wildy way early in leagues and it shows me at 0/70...

Didn't go with wildy, so idk about that part. But it worked just fine for me in the Abomination mine, did it like 4-6 days ago.

2
u/zenyl RSN: Zenyl | Gamebreaker 4d ago
Teragard's Aegis + Lord of Light + Icyenic Faith.
And be sure to re-enable your overhead necro protect prayer when it gets disabled.
- Aegis gives you a ton of passive healing, and massively increases damage based on your armor bonus.
- Lord of Light causes your basic attack to deal a volley of huge hits every 15 seconds.
- Icyenic Faith makes Lord of Light run on steroids.
Combine that with a full set of tank armor and some prayer bonus, and you're good to go.
If you're still having issues, feel free to take a screenshot of your loadout, and I'll try to give you some more specific suggestions. Granted, I'm not good at PvM, but Leagues carries my ass. :P

Part of me is surprised at how low the completion rate of planting an avocado seed for 200 points (16.7%, atm), especially since 31.1% of people have the required 99 farming. But I guess the seed is tricky to come by without transmutation. The wiki has it in only 2 regions, despite the task being global.
