Raptor's Challenge

The Raptor's Challenge is a D&D that lasts from 2 November 2015 to 30 November 2015.

The Raptor, who wants to fight the strongest creatures of Gielinor, has decided to self-appoint himself as a Slayer Master. Players may receive up to one assignment per day. However, one task must be completed before receiving a new one.

How to start
To start the challenge, players can find The Raptor west of Abbey of St. Elspeth Citharede, just outside the walls of Al Kharid. When talking to him, he will tell you to come over and that he is now your new slayer master. He will give you a gem after talking with you, so there must be a space free in your inventory to claim the gem. The gem is his version of the Enchanted gem.

All players can start this D&D regardless of their Slayer level. Both regular and hardcore Ironmen can take part in this activity.

It should be noted that the built-in slayer counter does not check the monsters left assigned by The Raptor; this counter is only used for the normal slayer masters.

The Raptor could be found near the locations where the new slayer monsters are found. During the first week he was located south of Port Sarim Jail near the wyverns.

Rules
The Raptor follows different rules compared to other slayer masters:


 * The Raptor's assignments cannot be done in co-op slayer.
 * The Raptor will assign players monsters that are around their level. This will also include monsters the player has blocked from the normal slayer masters (e.g. a player who has blocked Lava strykewyrms does have a chance of getting them from him).
 * Tasks are separate from that of the player's current task.
 * Slayer contracts take higher priority over the Raptor's potential assignment. His tasks cannot be done with a special contract either.
 * The Raptor will not assign a task that the player is already doing from another slayer master. E.g. If a player is assigned Aviansies from a Slayer Master capable of assigning them, he will not assign them unless the player completes/removes that task.
 * Slayer helmets provide bonuses as if the player was doing a task under another slayer master; however Tuska's Wrath will not work as it should be.
 * Unique drops that can normally only be obtained on a slayer task can be found while doing a Raptor task.
 * Elite variants of the monster are not guaranteed to spawn when given a task from The Raptor, instead following the same rate as if killing them off-task.

Rewards
Whenever a player completes a task for the Raptor, it will count in his tally of how many tasks the player has done. When the player completes 15 tasks for him, they will be awarded with cosmetic Raptor-themed armour, which will look better as the player defeats the new monsters. Unlike completing tasks from the normal slayer masters, slayer points are not obtained from completing his tasks. Monsters on a raptor task yield double slayer experience.

The elite monsters—wyverns, ripper demons, camel warriors, acheron mammoths—each drop one part of the Raptor key, which can be used to open the chest near him. These key pieces will still be obtainable after November 2015.
