Slayer
Slayer is a custom skill found in the Revival Runescape Classic server. Slayer masters assign you a number of monsters to kill, and every monster killed on-task gives Slayer experience along with a chance at slayer-only drops. Completing tasks earns slayer points, which are spent on unlocks such as the slayer cave, gem enchanting and dragon weapon socketing.
Overview
Slayer is trained by completing tasks given by one of nine slayer masters found around Runescape. Each master requires a higher Slayer level than the last, hands out tougher monsters and awards more points per completed task. While on a task, the assigned monsters can also drop energies and unenchanted gems. Energies are used to enchant gems, and enchanted gems can be set into a socketed dragon weapon to boost its stats.
Only kills of your currently assigned monster count. Killing the same monster without a task gives no Slayer experience and no slayer drops.
Getting started
Speak to Draxel upstairs in Lumbridge castle and choose Get a slayer task. Every slayer master can also be left-clicked with the Get task option to skip the conversation. You can only hold one task at a time and must finish, cancel or reset it before receiving another.
Type ::slayer at any time to see how many monsters you have left, your current task streak and your slayer points.
Talking to any slayer master gives the following options:
- Get a slayer task – assigns a new task from that master's list
- View unlocks shop – permanent unlocks bought with points
- View points shop – extend or reduce your task and buy teleport scrolls
- Cancel my task – costs 30 points and keeps your streak
- Reset streak and cancel task – free, but only available with fewer than 30 points
- Sell gems – trade gems for Slayer experience or points
- Blocked tasks – block or unblock a task
- I like your cape – only at level 99, lets you buy the Slayer cape
Slayer masters
Higher level masters give more points per task. You can use any master you have the level for.

Tasks
Each task asks you to kill a random number of monsters within the range shown. Some tasks cover a whole family – for example giants of any type counts every kind of giant, and tougher monsters in the family give more experience per kill.
- There is a 1 in 20 chance that the master lets you choose between two tasks instead of assigning one.
- Tasks with a requirement are never assigned until you meet it.
- The chance column is the base chance of each task from that master, before requirements and blocked tasks are taken into account.
- Experience is shown per kill at the current server rate.

Slayer points
Completing a task awards the master's points value and increases your task streak by one. Every 10th and every 50th task completed in a row awards bonus points, so keeping a streak alive is the fastest way to earn points. Cancelling a task with points keeps your streak; resetting does not.
Spending points
| Option | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel task | 30 points | Removes your current task and keeps your streak. |
| Reset streak and cancel task | Free | Only available with fewer than 30 points. Your streak returns to zero, and you must complete a task before you can reset again. |
| Block task | 150 points | The task you currently have is never assigned again. One task can be blocked at a time; unblocking is free. |
| Extend task by 20% | 30 points | Adds 20% of the assigned amount. A task can be extended or reduced once, not both. |
| Reduce task by 20% | 15 points | Removes 20% of the assigned amount. A task can be extended or reduced once, not both. |
 Teleport scroll |
25 points each | Single-use teleport to the slayer cave entrance. Sold in lots of 1, 5, 10, 20 or as many as you can afford. |
Points can also be earned by selling enchanted gems to a slayer master.
Unlocks
Unlocks are bought once from any slayer master's unlocks shop and are permanent.
| Unlock | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Slayer cave | 250 points | Grants access to the slayer cave and adds fire warrior and shadow giant tasks. |
 Dragon weapon socketing |

| Ring of Avarice energy pickup | 200 points | Energies dropped on-task are picked up automatically while wearing a Ring of avarice. |
| Boss instances | 100 points | Boss arena levers gain the option to create a private one hour instance, for a fee. Bosses respawn slightly faster inside, the drops are only visible to you, and you can leave and rejoin while the timer runs. Only one instance can be active at a time – items left on the ground in an old instance are lost when a new one is created. |
Energies
Energies are stackable slayer-only drops used to enchant gems. They only drop from monsters you are assigned, and tougher monsters drop higher tiers. The boss tasks given by Roman Swift drop by far the most energy per kill. See Slayer drops for the exact rates from every monster.
| Energy | Examine | Best regular on-task sources (average energies) |

The Slayer bag is a rare on-task drop that stores your energies and slayer gems in a single inventory slot.
Slayer bagSlayer gems
Unenchanted gems drop from monsters on-task. On their own they can only be sold for experience; once enchanted with energies they can be set into a socketed dragon weapon or sold for points.
- Power gems raise the weapon's power bonus, Aim gems raise its aim bonus and Prayer gems raise its prayer bonus.
- Sonic gems combine aim and power in one gem.
- Demon, Dragon and Giant gems give a large boost against one family of monsters.

Socketing
Thurvar, an Imcando dwarf found in Barbarian Village, can forge a socket into a dragon weapon. A socketed weapon holds one enchanted gem.
Forging a socket
You need the Dragon weapon socketing unlock, level 10 Slayer and the following items:
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dragon sword, dragon axe or Dragon 2-handed sword |
The weapon to be socketed |
 1 gold bar |
Used for the binding |
 3 redberry pies |
To steady the hand |
 Thurvar's enchanted hammer |
Dropped by the goblin thief just south of Barbarian Village. You keep the hammer afterwards. |
Below level 61 Slayer there is a chance that the weapon shatters and is lost along with the gold bar and pies. Thurvar warns you and asks for confirmation first.
| Slayer level | Chance to shatter |
|---|---|
| 10–20 | 50% |
| 21–30 | 40% |
| 31–40 | 30% |
| 41–50 | 20% |
| 51–60 | 10% |
| 61+ | Never |
| Weapon | Socketed version |
|---|---|
| Dragon sword |
 Dragon sword (empty socket) |
 Dragon axe |
 Dragon axe (empty socket) |
 Dragon 2-handed sword |
 Dragon 2-handed sword (empty socket) |
Setting a gem
With a regular hammer and chisel in your inventory, use an enchanted gem on the empty socketed weapon. You need the gem's tier unlock and the Slayer level below. This step cannot fail.
| Gem | Slayer level |
|---|---|
| Nascent power, aim or prayer |
10 |
| Nascent sonic |
20 |
| Prime power, aim or prayer |
30 |
| Prime sonic |
40 |
| Elder power, aim or prayer |
50 |
| Elder sonic |
60 |
| Primordial power, aim or prayer |
70 |
| Primordial sonic |
80 |
| Demon, Dragon or Giant |
85 |
Removing gems and sockets
Thurvar can also undo his work:
- Remove a socketed gem – needs 3 redberry pies, the enchanted hammer and , which is also dropped by the goblin thief. The gem is returned undamaged.
Thurvar's enchanted chisel - Remove an empty socket – needs 3 redberry pies and the enchanted hammer, and returns the original weapon. Like forging, this can shatter the weapon below level 61 Slayer.
Monster gems
A weapon set with a Demon, Dragon or Giant gem gives +24 aim and +24 power while fighting a monster of that family. The boost appears when you attack and fades when the fight ends.
| Gem | Works against |
|---|---|
| Demon gem |
Imp, Burnt Imp, Lesser Demon, Greater Demon, Black Demon, Nyrex the infernal |
| Dragon gem |
Dragon, Blue Dragon, Red Dragon, Baby Blue Dragon, Black Dragon, King Black Dragon, Green dragon |
| Giant gem |
Giant, Moss Giant, Ice Giant, Fire Giant, Shadow Giant, Elder Ice Giant, Elder Moss Giant, Enraged shadow giant |
The Enraged shadow giant has 3,000 defence and is practically immune to normal weapons. Against it a Giant gem weapon instead grants +2,100 aim and +30 power, making it the special weapon the slayer masters hint at.
Slayer cave
The slayer cave is unlocked for 250 points. The entrance is a tunnel in the mountains, close to where the goblins live and the dark wizards roam, and a
teleport scrolltakes you straight to it. Trying to enter without the unlock tells you to speak to a slayer master first.
Inside the cave you will find:
- Fire warriors – level 66
- Shadow giants – level 84
- Burnt imps – level 28
- The Enraged shadow giant – a boss that needs a Giant gem weapon to damage
Fire warrior and shadow giant tasks are only assigned once the cave is unlocked.
Slayer cape
Slayer capeAt level 99 Slayer any slayer master will sell you the Slayer cape for 99,000 coins through the I like your cape option.
