| 1 | Krystilia (Wilderness)Edgeville. Wilderness-only tasks worth 25 points each. Any combat level, so she can assign hard tasks, but not to a level 1 slayer. Only risk gear you can lose. | no hourly rate | Active | Everyone |
| 1 | TuraelBurthorpe. Easy, fast tasks but poor XP and no points. Used to start out, to boost points between milestone tasks and to swap out a bad task. | no hourly rate | Active | Everyone |
