Master Slayer
Slayer advances by killing assigned targets, not by killing arbitrary monsters with a Slayer level. It is a strong way to build combat stats, supplies and equipment together.
World 1: 50× normal XP. World 2: 100× normal XP. Reference values below show base XP and the normal world-scaled amount, before any activity-specific modifiers.
Before you begin
- A task from a Slayer master you qualify for
- Combat gear, food and the protection equipment specified for your target
- Quest access and a route to the assigned creature

Your training route
From first steps to masteryThese level bands are recommendations, not extra unlock requirements. Where an option unlocks partway through a band, keep using the earlier method until you reach it.
- Levels1–20
Start with an accessible master
Turael is the introductory option. Complete assigned creatures and check the task count rather than farming an unassigned monster for Slayer XP.
- Levels20–40
Use masters appropriate to your combat level
Master access is based on combat as well as Slayer. Mazchna needs 20 combat and Vannaka 40 combat; choose tasks you can finish comfortably.
- Levels40–60
Build consistent task completion
Chaeldar needs 70 combat and access to Zanaris. Continue an earlier master if your gear or quest access is not ready.
- Levels60–80
Move to harder assignments when prepared
Duradel needs 100 combat and 50 Slayer. Sumona needs 85 combat, 35 Slayer and her normal quest access. These are alternatives, not automatic upgrades for every account.
- Levels80–99
Sustain high-level tasks and useful drops
Train combat on-task, keep essential protection items stocked and use the monster archive to plan rewards. Bossing can be combined when the assignment and creature rules match.
Field notes
- Slayer level alone does not unlock a master whose combat or quest requirement you lack.
- Some targets require earmuffs, a nose peg, a mirror shield or other special gear; check before travelling.
- Use the task system deliberately: generic combat XP and Slayer XP are different rewards.
