Are Wyrms Worth It in OSRS?

Slayer Task | Iron Mom hanging with the Wyrms for the last time-hopefully

Let's Talk Slayer

Lately, I’ve been focusing on Slayer tasks—because like everything else in my life, I’ve chosen the grind. And like most things in RuneScape, it’s always a roll of the dice: will I get something exciting from my master today? Something that will make me money?  Something that will drop something awesome?

No. I will not.

I will get wyrms. wyrms. And more wyrms.

I’m currently using Konar Quo Maten, mostly for the extra points (because who doesn’t want more points, am I right?). But she’s out here assigning wyrms like it’s her full-time job and her and the Wise Old Man are running a bet on when I am going to off myself . I’m honestly starting to take it personally.

At this point, I would rather try to figure out what to make for dinner than kill another wyrm. And for reference—I’m making fried rice tonight because I haven’t been to the store lately and that is all we have. Do I like fried rice?  No.  Do I enjoy making fried rice?  Also, No.

I’ve officially started a block list. So far:

❌ Hellhounds

❌ Bloodvelds

🧐 Wyrms? Debating.

To be fair, I did get a dragon harpoon on a wyrm task, and I had been wanting that for Tempoross. That moment almost changed my opinion of wyrms. Almost. Other than that, these things take forever, and I hate them. Like, “rethink your entire Slayer path” kind of hate.

Now, I already hear someone typing:

“If you had the right gear, you’d breeze through them.”

Respectfully… shut it.

I am but a lowly Ironwoman.

And for the uninitiated, let me explain what that means:

Being an Iron account is like living off the grid in medieval times. You spawn in with nothing. Your pickaxe is basically a bent spoon. Your axe couldn’t slice a pancake. You’re expected to fish with a glorified twig, then cook and live off the shrimp you caught for the foreseeable future. And don’t even talk to me about teleporting—I WALK EVERYWHERE.

So yes, I’m running around in red d’hide and using a dragon scimitar like it’s a legendary weapon, because it kinda is when you’ve built every piece of it with your bare hands.

However, I am working toward 82 Magic so I can go off and imbue essence in the Rift at GOTR (my boyfriend finds this kind of talk “sexy,” which says a lot about both of us). So technically, I could keep casting earth spells at these floating dragons until I level up…

But let me just say this:

“50% weakness to earth spells” is a damn lie.

These wyrms eat earth spells for breakfast. And because I can’t multitask while fighting them—because the second I take my eyes off the screen, one of them yanks me off my marked tile and slaps me—I get no mental break. Zero dopamine. Just pain.

So…

Block list or nah?

Let me know if you’ve found a way to make these flying annoyances tolerable. And if you’re out there, Konar—maybe consider assigning me literally anything else.
