Slayer

The Basics

The Slayer skill gives you the ability to kill enemies that would otherwise be unharmed by your attacks, by using Slayer equipment and your experience in the skill.

Slayer Master Locations

You can begin the Slayer skill at any time by speaking to any of the several Slayer Masters located in different parts of the RuneScape world.

Slayer Masters
Map	Name	Location
	Turael/Spria	East of the bar in Burthorpe.
	Mazchna	In the northeast corner of Canifis.
	Vannaka	In the Edgeville Dungeon, east of the Wilderness gate.
	Chaeldar	South of the entrance to the Lost City of Zanaris.
	Sumona	Southeast of the north carpet stop in Pollnivneach.
	Duradel/Lapalok	Above the fishing shop in Shilo Village.
	Kuradel	Upper level of the Ancient Cavern.

If you're having trouble finding a Slayer Master, just look for the Slayer Icon () on your map. It would also be wise to start off with the Slayer Master in Burthorpe, as he generally gives easier tasks than the others.

Training Slayer

To train your Slayer skill, you first need to get an assignment from one of the Slayer Masters as described above. They will tell you to kill a certain number of a kind of monster, and once you've defeated the required amount you can go back to your Slayer Master and get another assignment.

While on an assignment, you'll receive experience only for defeating the type of monster that has been assigned to you. Killing other monsters that have not been assigned to you will not get you any Slayer experience. The amount of experience you receive from each kill is the same as the number of Life Points the monster has. If two players attack the same monster, one causing the most damage and the other striking the final blow, the experience will be split in half between each player.

Some Slayer monsters also require you to use a weapon or other item to defend against their attacks. Be sure to bring this item with you at all times during the assignment, and don't attack Slayer monsters without the appropriate things or you may become overwhelmed and killed.

Slayer monsters drop many unique items that can only be obtained by killing them. These items include Black and White Mystic Robes, Armored Boots, Granite Maul, and the Abyssal Whip, as well as Clue Scrolls for Treasure Trails and assorted herbs.

Alternate Monsters

Sometimes your Slayer Master may be a bit vague as to the type of monster that he wants you to kill. He may generalize and say "Kalphites" or "Dragons," which means that you can kill any monster of that type.

• Kalphites - Kalphite Workers or Soldiers.
• Dragons - Baby Blue or Red Dragons.
• Wolves - White Wolf Mountain Wolves.
• Shades - Various Shades found in Mort'ton.

The Enchanted Gem

In Slayer there is a lot of equipment available (details below), but none more necessary than the Enchanted Gem. The Enchanted Gem will enable you to contact the most matched slayer master to your combat level (Vannaka to those below combat level 70, Chaeldar to those between combat level 70 and 100, Duradel from combat level 100-110 and Kuradel from combat level 110+.

Once you activate the enchanted gem you have the following options:

The two most important options are "How am I doing so far?" which will tell you which monster you are killing, and how many you have left to kill of it such as "You're currently assigned to kill Cockatrice, only 85 more to go." The other important option is "Got any tips for me?" Then your slayer master will tell you advice such as "Werewolves are feral creatures, they are strong and tough with sharp claws and teeth"

The other two options "Who are you?" and "Where are you?" are simple questions which let you find out who your slayer master is (not just the name) and where to find him or her to get tasks from them.

Ring of Slayer

The Ring of Slayer (aka "Slayer Ring") can be bought from any Slayer Master for 75 slayer points. Once you reach 300 Slayer points, you have the ability to spend them on learning how to craft a Slayer Ring. This ring allows you to teleport to the following locations:

• Desert Slayer Dungeon - You teleport to Sumona's house.
• Rellekka Slayer Dungeon - You teleport just outside the cave.
• Morytania Slayer Tower - You teleport in front of the door of the tower.
• Tarn's Lair - You teleport to a chamber with a passage way leading to the lair.

The Slayer ring has 8 charges and will turn back into an Enchanted Gem once it runs out.

Changing Assignments

If you think that a certain assignment is too tough or too boring, you have two ways to change it for another random assignment. Firstly, at the Burthorpe Slayer Master (Turael), you can change it by asking for a new one. However, there are two snags:

1. You cannot change Slayer assignments given by Turael.
2. You cannot change an assignment by another master if the current monster assignment is assigned from Turael's list.

The second way to change slayer assignments is by Slayer Rewards. If you accumulate 30 Slayer points, you have the option to switch to another task. At 100 Slayer Points, you have the option and skipping that assignment and the possibility of removing it in the process, which means that you will never receive that assignment ever again.

Slayer Masters

Each of the seven Slayer Masters will give you an assignment with a different level of difficulty, depending on the master that you speak to. Some also have requirements before you are able to get an assignment from them.

Note: The following slayer task lists are by no means all-inclusive; they only detail the most common Slayer tasks.

Turael & Spria

Turael can be found in a small house near the southern entrance to Burthorpe. He gives the easiest Slayer assignments, and he has no set requirements. Spria replaces Turael after completing the While Guthix Sleeps quest.

Mazchna

Mazchna can be found in the northeast part of Canifis, near the Clothing Shop. His tasks are more difficult than Turael's, and he requires you to have a combat level of at least 20 before giving any tasks.

Vannaka

Vannaka can be found in the Edgeville dungeon, just east of the Wilderness gate. He will give you Slayer tasks of 'medium' difficulty to complete, and you must be at least level 40 Combat or higher.

Chaeldar

Chaeldar can be found just south of the entrance to the Lost City of Zanaris. You need to equip your Dramen Staff from the Lost City Quest and enter the small shack in the Lumbridge Swamp to be teleported to the Lost City. You can also use any of the Fairy Rings located throughout RuneScape to teleport there. Chaeldar gives more difficult tasks, and for this reason she requires at least level 70 Combat.

Sumona

Sumona is found in the northern part of Pollnivneach, you can get here by using the magic carpet from Shanty pass or alternatively you can setup your house in Pollnivneach and just walk to the master. Sumona is a master slightly more difficult than Chaeldar but less difficult than Duradel, despite being easier than Duradel you still need 35 Slayer and 85 Combat for her to assign you a task. Even if you have these requirements you need to complete Smoking Kills for her to even talk slayer to you.

Duradel & Lapalok

Duradel can be found above the fishing store in Shilo Village. He gives the second most difficult Slayer assignments of all the Slayer Masters, and he requires you to have at least level 100 Combat and 50 Slayer. Lapalok replaces Duradel after completing the While Guthix Sleeps quest.

Kuradel

Kuradel can be found on the upper level of the Ancient Cavern. She is south of the Mithril Dragon, just before the Dragon Forge. She gives the most difficult Slayer assignments of all the Slayer Masters, and she requires you to have at least level 110 Combat and 75 Slayer.

When assigning TzHaar as a task, Kuradel may offer an alternative. This is to kill 280 volcanic creatures, with a special bonus of 25k slayer experience if Jad is defeated during that time. This is basically asking the player to complete the Fight Caves Activity. The player has to the option to accept or decline this alternative. Each creature killed within the Fight Caves is worth slayer experience for the player. If the player is successful, including killing Jad, then there will only be eight TzHaar left to kill at the end in order to complete the slayer assignment.

Equipment

In order to kill some monsters, you may need to use a special Slayer item against them. Items range from weapons and armor to items that you need to use on the monster, and you can buy all of these items from your Slayer Master.
