Every week throughout November, we'll be releasing a new high-level monster fresh from RuneLabs. Each one's a fitting challenge for the most masterful of slayers among you and has some truly epic loot to claim.
This week's monsters are wyverns: the still-living forebears of the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon's skeletal monstrosities. Risk the cold, resist their potent poison, and claim the level 85 wyvern crossbow which has a damage-over-time passive effect and accompanying bolts.
In his ongoing quest to take down Gielinor's biggest game, the Raptor has set himself up south of Port Sarim as a slayer master for the month of November. Slayers of all levels can take a daily, level-appropriate assignment which grants double Slayer XP. Impress him over the course of the month for a Raptor-themed cosmetic armour set.
Read on for further details, or play now!
Where to Find Wyverns Head deeper into the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon, past the skeletal wyverns Requirements You must be a RuneScape member 96 Slayer is required to damage the wyverns 100 Combat is required to be assigned wyverns by a slayer master Other Information Very high combat stats and your best gear are strongly recommended Wyrmfire potions will be a big help
Wyverns are the first of four devilish new beasts that we're unleashing from RuneLabs this month thanks to Anarchy Time for the awesome concept.
Head far into the frosty depths of the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon and you'll encounter these primal reptiles. Their massive poison damage can be mitigated the chillier you getbut cold comes with its own risks.
You're on your own from here it's down to you to work out the optimal wyvern-whacking technique, and to claim the wyvern crossbow from their corpses.
This wicked level 85 two-hander has an awesome passive DoT effect, so it can really crank out the damage. Look out for the matching bolts, too, to make the most of the mighty weapon.
Wyverns can be assigned by Kuradal, Morvran and during November the Raptor. Note that once the month is up, the wyverns will remain they're a permanent fixture.
Finally, while you're on a wyvern assignment, watch out for the first part of a key to open Raptor's chest. The remaining parts are to come when the other monsters are released.
How to Start Raptor's Challenge Speak to Raptor south of Port Sarim Requirements You must be a RuneScape member Other Information Ironman players can take part Some specific limitations, listed below
Throughout November, Raptor will give you one slayer assignment per day.
The enemies assigned by Raptor are the same as those assigned by other masters, and will be appropriate to your level. They also award double Slayer XP.
Raptor's assignments have a number of differences, as compared to regular ones:
- Social Slayer does not work when requesting an assignment from Raptor.
- Assignment of enemies cannot be preferred, blocked or guaranteed using items or slayer point rewards.
- Slayer helmet damage and accuracy effects do work, but the helmets have no interaction with the Raptor gem.
- Slayer Tower contracts are prioritised over Raptor's assignments for the same creature pausing the Raptor version - and Raptor's assignments cannot make you eligible for special contracts.
- Kills on a Raptor assignment do not count towards Slayer daily challenges, but do towards combat ones.
- Raptor's assignments do not give a guaranteed elite mob spawn, but can spawn elites through random generation. Other slayer masters' wyvern assignments do guarantee an elite spawn, as normal.
- You can have an assignment for Raptor and for a regular Slayer master at the same time, although these will not be for the same enemy. If there are no alternatives, the regular assignment will be prioritised and your Raptor assignment paused.
Enjoy!
Enjoy your wyvern wrangling this week, and start showing the Raptor what you're made of. Look out for a new monstrosity to tackle every week of November. Give us your feedback over on the forums.

Wyverns
In november komt er iedere week een Slayer-monster dat is voorgesteld in RuneLabs. Deze week komen de wyverns, de nog levende versies van de skeletal wyverns. Ze leven iets dieper in de Asgarnian Ice Dungeon. Je hebt 96 Slayer nodig om de wyverns schade te kunnen toebrengen en hebt 100 combat nodig om ze van een Slayer-master te krijgen, maar een hoger combat level en zeer goed armour is aangeraden. Wyrmfire potions zijn erg handig.
De bijzonderste drop is een crossbow met een passief schade-door-de-tijd effect, waar je 85 Ranged voor nodig hebt. Wanneer je wyverns voor Slayer moet doden, kunnen ze ook het eerste deel van de sleutel van The Raptors kist achterlaten. De andere delen worden door de monsters gedropt die later deze maand komen.
The Raptor
De hele maand november is The Raptor een Slayer master, waar iedere member elke dag één taak kan halen. De taken hangen af van je level. Deze taken geven dubbele Slayer xp.
- Social Slayer werkt niet bij taken van The Raptor.
- Je kunt geen taken blokkeren of een hogere kans geven met voorwerpen of Slayer reward points.
- De Slayer helmet werkt, maar werken niet samen met de Raptor gem.
- Contracten van de Slayer Tower gaan boven taken van The Raptor voor hetzelfde monster. Taken van The Raptor zorgen ervoor dat je niet voor special contracts in aanmerking komt.
- Gedode monsters bij taken van The Raptor gelden niet voor daily challenges van Slayer, maar wel voor combat.
- Taken van The Raptor geven geen 100% kans op een elite spawn, maar ze kunnen wel komen. Wyverntaken van ander Slayer masters doen dat wel.
- Je kunt tegelijk een taak van een normale Slayer master en The Raptor hebben, maar deze zullen normaal niet voor hetzelfde monster zijn. Als dat niet anders kan, gaat de normale taak boven die van The Raptor.
- Als je vijftien taken voor The Raptor hebt gedaan, krijg je een set Raptor-achtig armour. Je kunt het uiterlijk veranderen door de nieuwe Slayer monsters te doden. Hier komt later meer informatie over.
