This week sees the addition of unique challenges to the Slayer Masters of the world. Players who have successfully completed several assignments for a Slayer Master will occasionally be offered the option of completing a special task in place of a regular assignment, when visiting their favourite Slayer Master.

The tasks on offer differ depending on which of the masters you visit. They each have their own unique request, ranging from Vannaka’s dragon hunting to fulfilling Sumona’s vendetta against the Kalphite Queen, up to running Duradel’s gauntlet of killing every creature in the Slayer Tower!

These new tasks are optional, and you can decline them in favour of a regular Slayer assignment should you wish to (with no penalty). If you do choose to take on these special challenges, however, you’ll be rewarded with additional Slayer experience and, if you’ve completed the Smoking Kills quest, Slayer points too.

In other news...

Dungeoneering reward items have had their costs reduced to a more suitable amount. Anyone who has already bought any of these items will find they have been refunded the difference in reward tokens.

Voices have been implemented for all NPCs (and the player) within the tutorial. We've also made demo mode available to all players on the login screen. Demo mode is a quick way to try out the game from the beginning without the need to create an account. We would recommend that you try out the updated tutorial using our new demo mode.

A new bank NPC near Musa Point can now convert your fish into bank notes, which should prove quite useful.

Farming patches now have a clear option for various dead crops, as well as a rake option for weeds.

The other news seem to be a lot more interesting than the challenges.
But, voices chat in runescape...? Sounds a bit odd. Not runescape style at all.

Voice will be only NPCs and the player for probably quests they come out with in future updates. I tried out the tutorial a bit, and it looks to be implemented pretty well. They also narrate any of the descriptions of what you're supposed to do. Seems to work well, though I'm guessing only younger / lower leveled people will find it useful.

Slayer update is alright, but seems to be a minor update.

Demo account seems kind of nice, though it would probably be a bit better if it were a temp account or something, just in case you logged out accidentally, you wouldn't lose all of your progress.

I don't do much slayer, but I guess it's something different to do instead of just killing monsters

lol actually i was thinking the same thing alex.. duradels assignment is too high for me to do.. and summona...ech i hate kalphites. so im sticking with kuradel.

as for the other news.. does this bank note thing help out f2p'ers as well? cause that will be awesome. they'll be able to get 99 much easier now. dung rewards being halved basically is nice. and voices/farming update.. minor :/ will be nice when they add voices into quests. farming is just 1 less click i guess

The voices might be something new Jagex is testing out just to see what people will think. If people like it, they might add it to other aspects of the game. Guess we shall see. :?
