Slayer assigns a set number of a specific monster and unlocks Slayer-only creatures and drops. Five masters: Turael in Burthorpe, Mazchna in Canifis, Vannaka in Edgeville Dungeon at combat 40, Chaeldar in Zanaris at 70, and Duradel in Shilo Village at combat 100 for the best XP and loot.
A Slayer master gives you a task: kill a number of one kind of monster. You get Slayer XP for each kill on task and Slayer points when you finish. Some monsters can only be hurt or only be fought with a high enough Slayer level. XP on this page is base XP, before your game mode's rate is applied (see Game Modes).
| Master | Combat level | Where | Tasks | Points per task |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turael | 1 | Taverley | Very easy and easy | 5 |
| Mazchna | 30 | Canifis | Very easy to medium | 6 |
| Vannaka | 40 | Edgeville | Easy to hard | 9 |
| Chaeldar | 70 | Zanaris | Medium and hard | 12 |
| Duradel | 100 | Shilo Village | Hard, very hard and boss tasks | 15 |
| Krystilia | 1 | Edgeville | Wilderness tasks only | 20 |
Check how many kills you have left with an enchanted gem. Every task pays at least 5 points.
Finishing tasks in a row builds a streak that multiplies the points for milestone tasks:
| Task | Points multiplier |
|---|---|
| Every 10th | 5x |
| Every 50th | 15x |
| Every 100th | 25x |
| Every 250th | 35x |
| Every 1,000th | 50x |
Pay 30 points to cancel your current task, or 100 points to block a monster so you are never given it again.

With a Slayer task selection scroll, Duradel can give you a boss: King Black Dragon, Kalphite Queen, the Dagannoth Kings, the God Wars generals, the Giant Mole, Vorkath, the Kraken (87), Cerberus (91), the Alchemical Hydra (95), the Abyssal Sire and others. On task, bosses pay their own Slayer XP: Cerberus 690, the Alchemical Hydra 1,320, the Kraken 255, the Abyssal Sire 478 (plus 50 for each respiratory system) and Araxxor 1,708.
Krystilia in Edgeville only gives Wilderness tasks. On task in the Wilderness you get 25% more Slayer XP, and every kill has a 1 in 90 chance to drop a Larran's key, which opens Larran's chest and can be traded. For a one-off 500 Slayer points she will also give Wilderness boss tasks: Chaos Elemental, Callisto, Venenatis, Vet'ion, Scorpia, the Crazy archaeologist, Chaos Fanatic, Artio, Calvar'ion and Spindel. See Wilderness & PvP.
While on task, about 1 kill in 30 spawns a superior version of the monster with double its stats. Killing it rolls the monster's drop table 5 times, with a 1 in 500 chance of an imbued heart or an eternal gem. Monsters on task can also drop a Slayer supply crate (red casket) of food and combat potions.
While you are on task, a black mask or Slayer helmet gives a +16.67% melee bonus. The imbued versions also give +15% Ranged and Magic. Buy them from the Slayer Rewards shop below.
The Slayer master's reward panel offers 17,500 Slayer XP for 50 points (this XP is not multiplied by your game mode), plus darts (35 points), broad arrows (25) and a Slayer's respite (25). The Slayer Rewards shop sells:
