Slayer in Old School RuneScape

Words on this page

Task: the monster a master tells you to kill. Skip: spend points to cancel a bad one. Block: lock a monster out of the list.

Unlock

You can take a task at level 1. Some monsters want a quest first. A boss task wants the Slayer level and the kill.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Use Turael only if you need points, then Mazchna or Vannaka.
    Place
    Stand in Burthorpe or Canifis.
    Click
    Click the master, then the monster.
    Leave
    Leave Turael once a better master will take you.

    Use Nieve or Steve, or Konar if you want her keys.
    Place
    Stand where the task sends you.
    Click
    Click the monster with the right weapon.

    Leave a task the skip list calls junk.

    Stand on the task.

    Click a cannon or a burst spell only where the wiki allows it.
    Leave
    Leave Laniakea to the other game.

Inventory

Wear a Slayer helmet. Bring a cannon where it is allowed. Pray against the monster that needs it. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

This can pay if you skip the bad tasks. A bad task burns the hour. Check the wiki skip list.

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. Bring a cannon where it is allowed. Pray against the monster that needs it.

Mistakes

Do not boost points with Turael at 80 Slayer and call that the plan. Do not take every Konar task with no points.

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.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
