OSRS Aviansies Slayer Task Guide
Aviansies are a unique Slayer task in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), offering players a chance to engage in combat within the God Wars Dungeon or the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon. This guide covers everything you need to know about tackling an Aviansies Slayer task, including requirements, strategies, gear setups, and profit potential. Whether you’re an Ironman hunting for adamantite bars or aiming for Kree’arra’s rare drops, this task can be rewarding with the right approach.
Before you can take on Aviansies as a Slayer task, you’ll need to meet specific requirements and unlock the task.
Unlocking the Task
Aviansies are not available by default and require the “Watch the Birdie” Slayer perk, which costs 80 Slayer reward points. You must also have completed the Death Plateau quest to access the God Wars Dungeon, where Aviansies are primarily located. Additionally, you need 70 Ranged to enter the Armadyl section of the dungeon and either 60 Strength or 60 Agility to navigate the dungeon’s obstacles.
Slayer Masters
Aviansies can be assigned by higher-level Slayer masters like Chaeldar, Konar quo Maten, Nieve/Steve, and Duradel. There’s no minimum combat level requirement for the task, making it accessible once unlocked. For the best chance of getting an Aviansies task, use Duradel, as his task list has fewer competing high-weight tasks.
Where to Find Aviansies
Aviansies are located in two places: the God Wars Dungeon and the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon. Each has its own challenges and benefits.
God Wars Dungeon Location
In the God Wars Dungeon, Aviansies are found in the Armadyl section, southwest of the dungeon. To reach them, use a Trollheim Teleport (requires 61 Magic and Eadgar’s Ruse) or a Games Necklace to Burthorpe, then follow the path to the dungeon. You’ll need a rope for your first visit and a mithril grapple with a crossbow to access the Armadyl Eyrie. Protect from Missiles is recommended to avoid troll attacks en route.
Wilderness God Wars Dungeon
The Wilderness God Wars Dungeon is riskier due to potential player killers (PKers). Access it via a Dareeyak Teleport (requires 78 Magic and Desert Treasure) or a Wilderness Obelisk. The Wilderness version offers noted adamantite bars without needing the Hard Fremennik Diary, but you must weigh the risk of losing gear to PKers.
Gear and Inventory Setup
Aviansies can only be attacked with Ranged or Magic due to their flying nature, though salamanders can also work. Here’s how to optimize your setup.
Recommended Gear
Your gear should prioritize Ranged accuracy and defense while ensuring protection from other factions in the God Wars Dungeon. Wear items aligned with Armadyl, Zamorak, Saradomin, and Bandos to avoid aggression from other monsters.
- Head: Serpentine Helm (for venom) or Armadyl Helmet
- Neck: Necklace of Anguish
- Body: Armadyl Chestplate or Zamorak Monk Top
- Legs: Armadyl Chainskirt or Saradomin Chaps
- Boots: Pegasian Boots
- Cape: Ava’s Assembler
- Hands: Bandos Bracers
- Weapon: Toxic Blowpipe or Armadyl Crossbow
- Ammo: Broad Bolts or Diamond Dragon Bolts (e)
- Ring: Archers Ring (i)
Inventory Setup
Your inventory should balance combat supplies and dungeon navigation items.
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Ranging Potions | Boost Ranged level for better accuracy |
| Prayer Potions | Sustain Protect from Missiles |
| Mithril Grapple | Access Armadyl Eyrie |
| Crossbow | Use with Mithril Grapple |
| Bones to Peaches Tabs | Convert bones to food |
| Emergency Teleport | Escape in emergencies |
| Rune Pouch | Hold Nature, Fire, and Lava runes for High Alchemy |
Strategies for Killing Aviansies
Aviansies require careful strategy due to their location and combat mechanics. Here are the best approaches.
Standard Aviansies in God Wars Dungeon
In the Armadyl section, activate Protect from Missiles and attack Aviansies in the middle room for maximum spawns. Use a Serpentine Helm to apply venom, which stacks damage over time. Stay in the middle to keep Aviansies aggressive, and use resizable mode for better visibility. Expect 105-130 kills per hour, yielding around 350k-700k GP per task with noted adamantite bars (requires Hard Fremennik Diary).
Kree’arra as an Alternative
Killing Kree’arra, the Armadyl boss, counts toward an Aviansies task and offers a chance at high-value drops like the Armadyl armor set. Use max Ranged gear or Magic with an Eldritch Nightmare Staff and Lightbearer for efficiency. Bring a crossbow for the mithril grapple, bank at Nex, and use an ecumenical key to skip kill count. This method is ideal for high-level players seeking profit over XP.
Wilderness God Wars Dungeon Strategy
In the Wilderness, minimize risk by wearing low-value god items and keeping valuables in your inventory. Use Protect from Missiles and tank with monkfish or better. The noted adamantite bars make this profitable, but beware of PKers. Always carry an emergency teleport.
Reanimated Aviansies
Players can kill reanimated Aviansies using ensouled heads, but this is less efficient due to the rarity of ensouled Avian heads (1/35 drop rate in God Wars Dungeon, 1/20 in Wilderness). This method is niche and mainly for Ironmen training Prayer.
Profit and Rewards
Aviansies are moderately profitable, especially with the right setup and diary completion.
Drop Table Highlights
Aviansies drop adamantite bars (noted with Hard Fremennik Diary), runite limbs, rune daggers (p+), and ensouled Avian heads. These items can be high-alched for decent profit. Kree’arra offers rare drops like the Armadyl hilt, worth millions.
Profit Potential
With the Hard Fremennik Diary, a task of 150 Aviansies can yield around 450k-700k GP from noted bars and alchables. Kree’arra runs are riskier but can net significantly more if you hit rare drops. Wilderness tasks are profitable due to noted bars but carry PK risk.
Is It Worth Unlocking?
Aviansies are worth unlocking if:
- You’re an Ironman needing adamantite bars.
- You want to hunt Kree’arra for Armadyl gear or pet.
- You’ve completed the Hard Fremennik Diary for noted bars.
However, they offer poor Slayer XP (around 12k/hour) and moderate GP compared to tasks like Gargoyles or Nechryaels. Many players toggle them off unless focusing on Kree’arra.
By following this guide, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle an Aviansies Slayer task in OSRS. Whether you’re grinding in the God Wars Dungeon or braving the Wilderness, the right gear and strategy can make this task both enjoyable and profitable. Happy slaying!
