Optimizing Slayer Tasks

Your Slayer block, skip, and extend list is the most impactful decision for efficient Slayer training. The right setup can double your XP/hr and GP compared to doing random tasks.

Best Tasks to Extend

Dust Devils: Burst in Catacombs. 70K+ Slayer XP/hr. Amazing XP.
Nechryaels: Burst in Catacombs. Similar to Dust Devils. Great XP and alchables.
Smoke Devils (93+): Barrage them for fast XP. Also drops Occult Necklace.
Boss Tasks: If you enjoy bossing. Hydra, Cerberus, and Grotesque Guardians are all profitable.

Best Tasks to Do (Do Not Skip)

Abyssal Demons (85+): Fast XP in Catacombs with cannon. Whip drops.
Gargoyles (75+): AFK money maker. Alchable drops.
Kurask (70+): Good alchables and Leaf-Bladed Battleaxe drops.
Dagannoth (DKs task): Kill DKs for ring drops. Very profitable.

Best Tasks to Block

Block tasks that are slow XP, low profit, and commonly assigned:

Drakes: Slow kills, poor drops, commonly assigned
Wyrms: Same as Drakes. Not worth the time
Spiritual Creatures: Slow and unrewarding
Iron/Steel Dragons: Slow kills unless using DHL
Black Demons: Unless you do Demonic Gorillas (which are profitable)
Elves: Annoying to reach, poor drops for time spent

Best Slayer Masters

Duradel (100 combat, Shilo Village): Best XP tasks overall
Konar (75 combat): Brimstone Keys add 50-100K bonus per task. Good early.
Nieve/Steve (85 combat): Balanced tasks. Good before Duradel.
Turael: For resetting tasks (Turael skipping method).

Turael Skipping

Get a task from Turael (easy tasks), instantly complete it, get a new task from Duradel. Repeat until you get a desirable task. Costs no Slayer points but resets your streak. Best for getting specific boss tasks.
