Bloodveld are a type of demon that use their long tongues to attack their victims. Being a Slayer monster, Bloodveld require a Slayer level of 50 to be damaged by players. As a demon, it is affected by demonbane weapons. Bloodvelds are popular among many players for their high hitpoints and low Defence, thus making them good sources of experience.
Bloodveld are one of few monsters that attack with magic-based melee, meaning that despite it using melee attacks against the player, it is the player's magic defence (rather than their melee defence) that is used to determine the accuracy of the Bloodveld's attack. As such, it is recommended for players killing Bloodveld to equip armour with decent magic defence, such as dragonhide, as they are relatively accurate in combat. Players using Prayer should still pray melee instead of magic to nullify damage.
There are many locations to kill bloodvelds, though the most common one is the Stronghold Slayer Cave, due to its close proximity to a bank. The bloodvelds can also be killed here with a dwarf multicannon, making them more AFK. It is not recommended to kill bloodvelds elsewhere, as these spots either do not allow the use of a cannon; notably, the God Wars Dungeon does not allow the superior Insatiable Bloodveld to spawn there, so it is not recommended to do tasks at the dungeon.
Players can also kill Mutated Bloodvelds in place of normal bloodvelds. These bloodvelds have even more hitpoints than their non-mutated counterparts and a vastly improved drop table to make up for their difficulty. Mutated bloodvelds are primarily found in the Catacombs of Kourend, though players who have made partial progress in Sins of the Father can access a second location in the Meiyerditch Laboratories. Both of these locations are multi-way areas, though the laboratories allow for the use of a cannon, thus making them more AFK there than in the catacombs. A third location is offered in the Iorwerth Dungeon, requiring completion of Song of the Elves. This location is a single-way zone, but bloodvelds here can occasionally drop crystal shards.
It is not recommended to kill them if assigned by Krystilia, as the only location they can be found is the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon, which is a dangerous multiway area where players run the risk of being killed by other players, forcing them to bring minimal risk and thus lowering overall rates.
Players who are not assigned bloodveld by Konar quo Maten can alternatively use Expert Reanimation on ensouled bloodveld heads, as reanimated bloodveld count towards the task. While overall slayer and combat experience is much less, this is a viable alternative for players who are training Prayer.
