Introduction
Slayer is a members-only skill. In this skill, a slayer master gives you a task that you will have to complete. The task is to kill a certain monster, and they can be in all levels. From the easiest slayer masters, you can be assigned to kill a few goblins, while the hardest can give you tons of dragons to kill. The XP you get, is the same amount as the monster's hitpoint. Also, if you're assigned to kill Giants, you can kill everything with "Giant" in its name: Hill Giant, Moss Giant etc. So, if you're assigned to kill goblins, you will get more XP from killing Hobgoblins, since they have more hitpoints than a normal goblin, but they're harder to kill.

Slayer masters
To get a slayer task, you will have to speak to a slayer master. There are 6 Slayer Masters, which gives tasks of different difficulties:
- Turael - Very easy
- Mazchna - Easy
- Vannaka - Medium
- Chaeldar - Hard
- Sumona - Harder
- Duradel - Very Hard
Turael
Turael is the easiest slayer master, and he can be found in his small house southeast from Burthorpe.
[map]
There are no requirements to go to this slayer master, and it's recommended to start with slayer master if your combat level isn't too high. Also, if you've got a task which is too hard from an other slayer master, you can ask Turael to give you an easier one. However, you can't change the task if Turael gave you the task.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about slayer.
Do I get normal combat experience when training Slayer?
Yes, you will get experience like normally, in all fighting styles.
Is there any assignments that I need to complete a quest before I do it?
No. You will only be assigned to kill monsters you have access to.
Do I get slayer XP if two are fighting on the same monster in mulicombat areas?
You will get 50% experience if you deal the most damage, and you will get 50% experience if you do the last hit. If you hit most, and did the last hit, you will get 100%, if you didn't hit last, nor hit most, you won't get any XP at all.
How much experience do I get when killing monsters?
You will get the same amount as hitpoints. For instance, the Goblins have 5 hitpoints. So you will get 5 XP by fighting them. However, if you fight Hobgoblins in level 28, you will get 29 XP, since it has 29 hitpoints.
Do I get XP from killing the Slayer creatures?
Only if you are assigned to kill them by a slayer master. If the slayer monster isn't your current task, you won't get any Slayer XP.
