what tasks to block for profit osrs
For a profit-focused Slayer setup in OSRS, the usual blocks are the low- value, slow, or supply-draining tasks that eat time without paying well. Based on common community block lists, the core money blocks are:
| Block task | Why block it |
|---|---|
| Bloodvelds | Low profit unless you specifically want XP or a niche setup. |
| Fire giants | Poor GP and usually better as an XP filler task. |
| Suqah | Fast, but bad drops and not worth it for money. |
| Drakes | Annoying and generally low profit for the time spent. |
| Wyrms | Usually weak GP compared with better Slayer tasks. |
| Greater demons | Bad unless you are specifically doing a boss variant. |
Better profit tasks
Instead of blocking everything, keep or extend the tasks that can pay off well:
- Abyssal demons.
- Black demons, especially if you do demonic gorillas.
- Dagannoths, if you use bossing.
- Hellhounds, if you do Cerberus.
- Nechryaels.
- Smoke devils.
- Basilisks, if you want basilisk jaw profit.
- Rune dragons.
- Gargoyles.
- Kraken.
Practical block logic
A good rule is: block tasks that are common, slow, and low GP , then keep tasks that unlock bossing or high-value drops. That means your exact block list should depend on whether you want raw GP, AFK profit, or a hybrid of XP and money. For a pure money setup, tasks like Drakes, Wyrms, Suqah, Fire giants, Bloodvelds, and Greater demons are the usual first cuts.
Simple example
A solid profit block list often looks like this:
- Drakes.
- Wyrms.
- Suqah.
- Fire giants.
- Bloodvelds.
- Greater demons.
That gives you more chances to roll into better-money assignments instead of spending time on filler tasks.
Note on choice
If you use a different Slayer master, the best blocks shift a bit because task weights change. For example, profit-oriented block lists shared by players and guides commonly center on the same weak tasks, while some guides also add Iron/Steel dragons, Ankou, or Spiritual creatures depending on account progression and gear.
