Attack

Unlock

You can start today. A dragon scimitar (a strong curved sword) wants the quest Monkey Madness I. An abyssal whip wants 70 Slayer.

The route

• Early

  Method

  Fight sand crabs or ammonite crabs (monsters that barely hit back).

  Place

  Stand on the beach in Hosidius, or on Fossil Island.

  Click

  Click the crab, and eat if your health drops.

  Leave

  Leave at 60, or when you can swing a dragon scimitar.

• Mid

  Method

  Kill the monster your Slayer master assigned (a task is their list).

  Place

  Stand where that master sent you.

  Click

  Click it with the best sword you can afford.

  Leave

  Leave a task only if the wiki skip list calls it a waste.

• Late

  Method

  Stay on Slayer with the best sword you can afford.

  Place

  Stand on the task, not back on the crab beach.

  Click

  Click prayer and a special attack before you shop for a new sword.

  Leave

  Leave when the boss you wanted is unlocked.

Inventory

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. It helps you hit that monster. Wear armour that adds Strength, not a costume. Bring food you will actually eat. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Crabs cost nothing. A whip costs coins. Drops from your tasks pay some of it back. Check the wiki for this month's price.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. It helps you hit that monster. Wear armour that adds Strength, not a costume. Bring food you will actually eat.

Mistakes

Do not buy a whip before you have 70 Slayer. Do not train Attack while Strength sits far behind. The hits will miss.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.
