Vile blooms

Introduction

Vile blooms are a combination task of all plant monsters on Anachronia. The main reason to do them is for the Lost Lands and Dungeons collection log, Skeka's hypnowand pieces, or to obtain their soul for slayercodex

⬥ Vile blooms can be assigned as a Slayer slayer assignment by Laniakea.

⬥ Due to the limited popularity of this task, the methods below are not fully optimised. Please make a post in #suggestions if you manage to improve them.
