So let's start by first looking at what Slayer is about in RuneScape.
The Basics of RuneScape Slayer
Slayer is a talent which allows you to be given tasks by Slayer Masters. You will need to go out and take out specific creatures. The next step is to determine whether you'd rather do this alone or with a companion.
It is also possible to add a counter for ease of using. This will provide you with more insight into the current task you are working on and the number of points you have earned. It will also indicate your current streak of tasks is, and you can increase or decrease the size of this display if you choose to. This display option can be found under Slayer under the Skills tab.
What are the RuneScape's Slayers, Masks and Monsters?
To cause damage to Slayer Monsters You must first be at the appropriate Slayer level. There's a way through which you can get additional benefits, by using Slayer Masks.
These masks can be purchased through the Shattered Worlds reward shop, from Vic the Trader, or can be found by playing Treasure Hunter. Masks can improve your Slayer capabilities and provide bonuses. In the beginning, they allowed players to make a Slayer task from their respective creature each day, with the second occurring each three days. If you are looking to know how many of a particular creature you've killed, just click on them and you will see your total kills in the chat bar.
You can track the kills of any creature that you've killed by wearing the mask. Every mask you wear is limited in how many times it can be killed before it becomes Slayer Helm. Whilst it works in a similar manner but there aren't as many bonuses for you to enjoy. It is possible to switch back to the Slayer Helm once you have unlocked it, however this is only for cosmetic reasons as it doesn't bring back any bonus experience.
What are RuneScape Slayer Points?
After you complete the Slayer challenge or assignment given by master Slayer and you have completed the assignment, you are given Slayer Points. The master with whom you received the assignment will determine the number of points you receive. As you can probably guess, you will receive an increased amount of Slayer points if the job is more challenging. This is the typical "higher the risk, the greater the reward" scenario.
It is possible to only accumulate 64,000 Slayer Points in one go, but there are other ways to gain more. There's no strict limit on the number of Slayer Points you can have, since you can actually accrue more points. If you are a points-deficient person, for instance, when you complete a Slayer task, you'll be rewarded with the full amount of points you accrued. You can also trade in Tuska Masks for 20 points each, even after having earned 64,000 points.
Alongside doing Slayer Assignments and challenges, as well as selling the Tuska Masks that we mentioned, you can earn points through a variety different ways. You can earn Slayer points by signing contracts when you spot Ling the assassin. Each contract gives the user eight Slayer points.
You will then have the Raptor Chest which can earn you an additional 375 Slayer points every time you open it. In order to do so you must acquire the Raptor Key. This key is constructed using four different parts that are found in level 96 Slayer monsters, which includes the Wyverns, Ripper Demons, Camel Warriors and Acheron Mammoths. It is then possible to access the chest inside War's Retreat to collect some decent amounts of Slayer Points.
What can I purchase with Slayer Points?
In addition to new skills to acquire and master, there are things you're capable of purchasing after completing Slayer tasks. With 35 points, you can get 250 Broad Arrows Broad-Tipped Bolts, and Runes for Slayer Dart. The Ring of Slaying is available at 75 points. 100 points will bring you a Full Slayer Helmet or Ferocious Ring upgrade which you can use within Morvran's Dungeon. For 400 points you can avail an additional Slayer Helmet Upgrade or 10,000 Slayer exp to earn. You can upgrade your Full-Slayer Helmet from 3 to 4 by accumulating 600 Slayer Points and 1000 Slayer Points, respectively.
