By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Prior to the mixology update, crowd control during Slayer tasks relied entirely on positioning tricks or metal casings. The following data highlights how the goading potion stacks against traditional methods across combat parameters.
| Method | Effective Reach | Hourly Upkeep (GP) | Area Restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goading Potion | 8-tile box (17x17) | 80,000, 120,000 GP | Universal (Multi & Single) |
| Dwarf Multicannon | Up to 15 tiles (Rotating) | 250,000, 400,000 GP | Banned in Catacombs/Instanced Dungeons |
| Manual Tagging (Darts) | Weapon attack range | 5,000, 15,000 GP | Universal (High player attention) |
| Venator Bow Bounce | Attack range + 2-tile bounce | 150,000, 220,000 GP | Requires multi-combat or clustered targets |
