Slayer Skill Guide

Please DON'T submit any more monster assignments! The lists here are a guideline for what
level of monsters might be expected, but ultimately each Slayer Master assigns nearly EVERY
type of monster, so these lists will NOT be updated! (Sorry for the rant; please enjoy the
guide.)

Slaying is a new skill that sends you out to kill a certain number of creatures your Slayer
Master assigns you.

Slayer is a members only skill and can only be done on a members server.

Slayer Locations

When you are sent to kill any regular type of monster and aren't sure where to find it, check
RuneHQ's Monster Database. However, there are now three sites with a concentration of the
Slayer Masters' favorite monsters, which are also listed in the Slayer Creatures Table below.

The Canifis Slayer Mansion is located directly north of Mort Myre Swamp in Morytania,
northwest of Canifis (the Werewolf Village).

The Lumbridge Swamp Dungeon is located in Lumbridge Swamps, far southeast of Draynor
Village. The Fremennik Slayer Dungeon can be found near the Golden Apple Tree in the
Fremennik Province. This map of the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon was made by Xtotre.

Tips and tricks

• If you feel you can not defeat the higher level enemies, try using some of these
alternatives:

Wolves - Ice Mountain Low Level Wolves

Kalphites - Kalphite Workers
 Blue Dragons - Baby Blue Dragons
Red Dragons - Baby Red Dragons
Trolls - Lower Level Trolls
Birds - Chickens

• If there is an assignment that you feel you cannot perform, then go back to the Slayer
master in Burthorpe before starting, or during it and he will give you a new one, this
one you must complete. When you done with that assignment you may return to your
previous Slayer.

• You can drink Slayer's respite to temporarily raise your Slayer level.

Slayer's respite ale can be brewed from Wildblood hops and is used to temporarily
increase Slayer level. Regular Slayer's respite temporarily increases Slayer by 1, while
decreasing attack and strength by 3 each. Mature Slayer's respite, aka Slayer's
respite(m), temporarily increases Slayer by 2 while decreasing attack and strength by
4 each.
