Slayer

How do I start training my Slayer skill?



Find a Slayer master and ask them to assign you a task. The task will be to slay a certain number of a specific creature. Return to a slayer master for another task when you're done.





I don't want to do my task!



Go to Turael in Burthorpe, north-west of Falador. If he thinks your task is too tough, he'll give you a different one. He'll only do this if your task is something he'd never set himself.





I've lost my Slayer crystal, can I get another one?



Yes, you can buy one from any of the Slayer masters.





Do all Slayer masters set all kinds of monster as tasks?



No, certain monsters are only assigned by certain Slayer masters.





What happens if another player is attacking the same NPC as me? Will I still get Slayer skill experience?



If two people are killing the same monster in multiway combat, both players will get the kill, but the experience will be halved. The player that does the most damage to the NPC will have the right to pick up the dropped items first.



Both the person who dealt the killing blow and the person who did the most damage will be counted as the slayer for the purposes of their kill counts (If you did both these things you will only count as having killed the creature once, though). The Slayer experience will be split evenly between the two players.





Why don't the Slayer monsters give any Slayer experience?



Slayer monsters will only give Slayer experience if you have been assigned to kill them.





My Slayer target is a shade, do I have to kill the shades from the random event that activates when I'm burying bones?



Thankfully, you do not have to bury bones and hope that you receive the shade random event to slay this target (although that is one way of completing it!).



Shades can be located in and around the sorry village of Mort'ton. Mort'ton is found south of Mort Myre Swamp. You will need to start the Nature Spirit quest in order to pass the gate south-west of Canifis.





Can I kill monsters for my Slayer target on a non-members' world?



No, only monsters killed on members' worlds will count towards your experience and Slayer kills.





I have been assigned to slay kalphites. Does this mean I will have to kill the Kalphite Queen?



The Kalphite Queen is just one of the monsters who belong to the kalphite family. If you have been assigned to slay kalphites, you can also kill kalphite workers (level 28), guardians (level 141) and soldiers (level 85). You will gain Slayer experience for killing any of these kalphite monsters.





I have been assigned the task of killing elves. I am told that I can only reach the elves when I have done the Regicide quest.



This is not true, you only need to have started the quest to access the elves.





What special attack does the abyssal demon possess?



Abyssal demons have the power to teleport themselves, but more importantly they have the power to teleport the player next to them.



Please note, when fighting abyssal demons we recommend that you turn auto-retaliate on.





Do dust devils drop dragon chainbodies? Where can I find them and what Slayer level do I need to kill them?



They can indeed drop dragon chainbodies. You will find them south-east of the Bandit camp, in the Kharidian Desert. You will need a Slayer level of 65 to kill these monsters. Oh, and don't forget your face mask!





What is the best method to slay a bloodveld or jelly?



Bloodvelds and jellies have a strange attack which can be prevented entirely with the Protect from Melee prayer. If you're not using prayer, then armour with magic defence works best, such as dragonhide, splitbark, or mystic armour.

Alternative Monsters

Many people trying to gain levels in the Slayer skill assume that you can only kill exactly what the Slayer master gives you. The table below shows some alternative monsters that you could kill if assigned a specific type.

Assignment		Alternative
	Birds		Chickens Terror birds Oomlie birds Seagulls
	Blue dragons		Baby blue dragons
	Kalphite		Kalphite workers Kalphite soldier Kalphite guardians Kalphite Queen
	Spiritual ranger/warrior/mage		Armadyl spiritual ranger/warrior/mage Bandos spiritual ranger/warrior/mage Saradomin spiritual ranger/warrior/mage Zamorak spiritual ranger/warrior/mage

Unique Drops

Here is a table of the unique drops that can only be obtained by killing specific slayer monsters. They are:

Item	Slayer Monster
Bronze armoured boots	Cave crawler
Mystic gloves	Rockslug Banshee Desert lizard
Mystic boots	Cockatrice Desert lizard Infernal mage
Iron armoured boots	Cockatrice Cave slime
Steel armoured boots	Pyrefiend Harpie bug swarm

Black Mask

Black masks gathered from the corpses of cave horrors give a couple of bonuses when worn. Firstly, they provide Attack and Strength bonuses similar to a Salve Amulet when fighting your Slayer assignment. Secondly, the masks contain 10 spells that can reduce your opponent's Defence by 3-10 levels each time, regardless of whether they are your Slayer assignment, any other monster or another player. When the 10 spells are used, the mask and its natural bonuses will remain.

Training Hints and Tips

• If you find it to difficult to kill the creature that you are assigned, train your combat to a higher level, or go and visit the Slayer master in Burthorpe to receive an easier assignment.
  
  
  
  
• Study the creatures' style of attack to find out the best equipment that you should use to the maximum effect.
  
  
  
  
• Stock up on good food beforehand, so you will not be distracted from your training when in need of food.
