OSRS Slayer Reward Points Guide: How to Earn, Spend, and Prioritize
Slayer Reward Points are earned by completing consecutive Slayer tasks without skipping. They’re the backbone of the Slayer skill’s meta-game, controlling access to essential unlocks, task blocks, task skips, and quality-of-life features. Managing your points efficiently can save dozens of hours of training over a long-term account. This guide covers which Slayer masters to use, how to stack points, what to buy first, and what to skip.
How Slayer Reward Points Work
Points are earned per task completion, with bonus points awarded at certain task milestones. The number of points depends on which Slayer master assigned the task:
| Slayer Master | Points per Task | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Turael / Spria | 0 | None |
| Mazchna / Vannaka | 2 | 20 / 40 Combat |
| Chaeldar | 10 | Fairy Tale Part II (partially) |
| Konar quo Maten | 18 | 75 Combat |
| Nieve / Steve | 12 | 85 Combat |
| Duradel | 15 | 100 Combat (or 50 Slayer + 75 Combat) |
Milestone bonuses: Every 10th task gives 5x the normal points. Every 50th task gives 15x points. Every 100th task gives 25x points. Every 250th task gives 35x points. Every 1,000th task gives 50x points. This makes maintaining a streak critical — losing your streak resets the multiplier counter.
The Turael Method: Fastest Point Stacking
The most efficient way to stack points is called the Turael method (or “Turael boosting”):
- Get 9 tasks from a high-point master (Duradel or Konar)
- On the 10th task, go to Turael and complete a trivial task (his tasks are very easy)
- Return to Duradel/Konar for task 10’s milestone bonus + high base points
Wait — this sounds backwards. Here’s the actual logic: Turael gives 0 points but easy tasks. The real method is to take 9 tasks from Duradel (gaining 9 × 15 = 135 points), complete a Turael task on the 10th to keep the streak going without doing a hard task, then hit the milestone task (number 10) back at Duradel for the bonus.
Corrected Turael Method: Many players use Turael to quickly “skip” to their next high-point milestone. Since Turael’s tasks are trivially easy (low-level creatures), they complete quickly. However, every time you get a task from Turael, your streak counter resets on Turael’s task count. The key insight is to use Turael only as a bridge when you would otherwise skip a task (wasting 30 points minimum), because Turael at least keeps your main master’s streak intact.
Practical approach: Only get tasks from Turael/Spria to reset a bad streak start, not as a regular rotation.
Best Slayer Masters for Point Farming
Duradel is the standard high-point master for endgame accounts (85 Slayer, 100 Combat or equivalent). 15 points per task with access to the best task pool.
Konar quo Maten gives 18 points per task — the highest in the game — with the added mechanic that tasks specify a location (you must kill the creature in the specified area). This limitation means some tasks take longer, but the point income is unmatched. Konar also drops Brimstone Keys, which unlock a chest with additional loot.
Recommendation: Use Konar through mid-game (75 Combat) and transition to Duradel when you hit 100 Combat and want more task pool flexibility.
Essential Unlocks: Buy These First
These unlocks should be your top spending priorities:
Slayer Helm (420 points): The single most important unlock in the game. Allows you to combine face masks, earmuffs, and other protective Slayer equipment into the Slayer Helmet, which provides a 16.67% damage bonus against your current Slayer task. Without this, you’re leaving significant damage on the table for every task.
Extend Cerberus (Task unlock): Allows you to get Cerberus (level 318) as a Slayer task. Cerberus is one of the most profitable Slayer monsters in the game. Unlocking it is mandatory for players pursuing GP alongside Slayer XP.
Reanimation block unlocks: The block system lets you permanently remove specific tasks from your assignment pool. This is how you optimize your task pool over time. Each block costs 100 points. Early block priorities:
- Bosst Aberrant Spectres if you lack a nose peg
- Block Dust Devils if doing sub-65 Slayer training (changes at higher levels)
- Block Cave Kraken at lower levels (requires additional setup)
Bigger and Badder (150 points): Allows superior monsters to spawn during Slayer tasks. Superior creatures give a massive XP drop and have a chance to drop Imbued Heart, Eternal Gem, Ferocious Gloves — all high-value items.
Point Spending Priority List
- Slayer Helm (first 420 points)
- Bigger and Badder (150 points)
- Block first bad task (100 points)
- Extend Cerberus (task unlock, if relevant to your level)
- Block additional bad tasks (100 points each, ongoing)
Avoid spending points on skips unless absolutely necessary — each skip costs 30 points which could be going toward unlocks. Similarly, avoid buying supplies from the Slayer store (broad arrowheads, etc.) in exchange for points — buy these with gold instead.
Task Block Priorities
Over time, blocking the right tasks transforms your Slayer experience. The best tasks to block vary by account type:
Ironman priority blocks: Block tasks that require buying untradeable items or have poor kill rates for your level.
Main account (combat-focused): Block low-XP tasks. Priority blocks typically include:
- Turoth (slow, far travel)
- Basilisks (before access to better gear)
- Dust Devils (if Smoke Dungeon access is inconvenient)
Main account (GP-focused): Block tasks with low gold-per-hour and keep high-value tasks like Abyssal Demons, Gargoyles, Cerberus, and Thermonuclear Smoke Devil.
Common Mistakes
Skipping tasks carelessly: Every skip costs 30 points, which is 2 full Duradel tasks worth of points. Use skips only for tasks that are genuinely awful for your setup, not just slightly inconvenient.
Not unlocking Slayer Helm first: Playing without the Slayer Helm bonus is a massive sustained DPS loss. This is the first purchase, not something to put off.
Over-blocking: Blocking too many tasks leaves a small pool that can include tasks you also don’t want. Block the genuinely terrible ones; tolerate the merely mediocre ones.
Ignoring milestone bonuses: Losing your streak before a 50-task or 100-task milestone means missing a large point payout. Be aware of your task count and plan around milestones.
Slayer Reward Points are the long-term optimization tool of the Slayer skill. Spent wisely, they dramatically improve both XP rates and GP per hour for the life of the account.
