A detailed guide created by Blademaster55 This slayer guide is property of Blademaster55, editing rights go to Blademaster55 and librascythe. Any other attempts to recreate this guide will be closed or deleted. Introduction to the guide: Hello, as most of you Runescape 2 players know the skill Slayer was introduced to the game on January 26 2005. The skill included new areas added to the Runescape world along with many new monsters to kill and many new items. Though in order to kill some of these monsters you needed to have the appropriate slayer level. Slayer is one of the tougher skills to get up. It requires a good combat level and a wide range of completed quests in order to reach some of the monsters. Reasons why you should do slayer: Slayer monsters can give you a lot of exp for your normal combat skills. Also many items can only be dropped by a slayer monsters, so if you are short on cash you can get your slayer level up and go kill the monster and you might get the item. However a good point of slayer is that it takes you all over the map and kind of forces you to do quests, and many other things. You are able to battle new monsters in different places and be able to get better drops. Common items that are slayer dropped only are, rune boots, slayer mask, granite maul, and the all well known abyssal whip. You are able to make a lot of money off of the regular drops also. Slayer monsters also give you excellent exp for your normal everyday combat skills. So when you need to train you can get a slayer task and then train. I used slayer to get my 100 combat when I was a member and it was fun while I was doing it. Slayer: is a members only skill. New Areas Added: When the Slayer task was released so was many new monsters. Though Jagex didn't know where to put them all. So along with the new Slayer skill Jagex made knew locations for Slayer Monsters to go. Slayer Tower is located directly north of Mort Myre Swamp in Morytania, northwest of Canifis. Slayer Cave is located near the Fremminik Provenance . Lumbridge Swamp is located behind the lumbridge castle a little past where you start the lost city quest. You need a light source in order to go down there. How to gain experience in Slayer: In order to gain experience in the Slayer skill you have to receive a slayer task from a Slayer Master. There are five Slayer Masters in total. The Slayer Masters have the ability to give you any monster at random depending on who you go to. If you go to the Master in Shilo you will have a better chance of getting Iron Dragons then getting cows. They have this worked out so it challenges you when you go to them. The following are the five Slayer Masters and some monsters that you are most likely to get from them. Though they are still able to give you different monsters that aren't on the list. Slayer Master: Turael Location: Burthrope Minimum Combat Level: Level 3 Rank: Easiest Notes: Turael is the easiest Slayer Master. He will give you the easiest monsters. He also holds the ability to change your slayer task. For example, if you go to Duradel and get steel dragons, and you know for a fact you can't or don't want to kill them, then you can come to Turael and he will change your task to an easy assignment. He will only change it once so whatever he gives you, you must complete before getting another assignment. Here is a list of monsters he has been known to give, Banshees Bats Bears Crawling Hands Dogs Dwarves Ghosts Goblins Icefiends Kalphites - This does not mean queen, it can be any kalaphite monster in the lair. Monkeys Skeletons Spiders Werewolves Wolves Slayer Master: Mazchna Location: Canifis Minimum Combat Level: Level 20 Rank: Above Easy Notes: Mazchna is a easier Slayer Masters, he gives out pretty easy tasks for you to complete. He is not super easy, but he is pretty good if you are in the 20's or 30's. Some monsters he is know to give are, Basilisks Blue Dragons Cave Crawlers Crawling Hands Dagannoths Green Dragons Earth Warriors Hellhounds Hill giants Kalphites Moss Giants Otherworldy Beings Rock Slugs Shades Mort'on Shadow Warriors Skeletons Trolls Vampires Werewolves - Also Wolfmen and Wolfwomen Slayer Master: Vannaka Location: Edgeville Dungeon Minimum Combat Level: Level 40 Rank: Medium Notes: Vannaka is a good starter. He gives out challenging monsters once in a while, and usually gives out decent monsters. Monsters he is known to give are, Aberrant Specters Banshees Basilisks Bloodvelds Blue Dragons Bronze Dragons Cave Bugs Cave Crawlers Cave Slimes Cockatrice Crawling Hands Crocodiles Dagannoths Earth Warriors Elves Fire Giants Green Dragons Harpie Bug Swarm Hellhounds Hillgiants Ice Giants Lesser Demons Moss Giants Rock Slugs Shadow Warriors Trolls Turoths Vampires Werewolves - Wolfmen and Wolfwomen Slayer Master: Chaeldar Location: Zanaris (Lost City) Minimum Combat Level: Level 70 Rank: Harder Notes: Chaeldar is one of the better slayer masters to go to for tasks.

He gives out the most difficult tasks of all of the Slayer Masters. He is commonly know to give out metal dragons and high level monsters. People often switch out their tasks because they are so difficult. Though if you do get a strong monster such as steel dragons, he won't give you 100 steel dragons, he will give you them in small amounts like 20 steel dragons. He Also holds the Slayer Skillcape, so when you have accomplished 99 slayer, which is very hard to do, go to him and you can collect the slayer skillcape.
