Slayer Master
- This article is about non-player characters who give slayer assignments. For the term for a player with level 99 Slayer, see Slayer cape.
Slayer Masters are non-player characters who give players Slayer assignments. There are currently seven Slayer Masters which give tasks. Some Slayer Masters require players to achieve a minimum Slayer and Combat level before giving slayer assignments. The slayer masters differ in the difficulty and number of Monsters they assign. After the Smoking Kills quest is completed, the completion of every task, starting after the 4th completed in a row will grant Slayer reward points, excluding Turael/Spria. As of 11 September 2009 all Slayer Masters have a right-click option Get-Task. The slayer master Catolax is not listed for he is deceased.
All slayer masters sell useful items. The store article is at Slayer equipment.
Taverley: Turael/Spria
Turael, and his replacement, his daughter Spria, are the easiest Slayer Masters. They have no minimum combat or slayer level requirements before players may receive assignments. They only require combat level 3, which is the lowest possible for any player.
Turael/Spria are located west of the tree patch in Taverley. The quickest ways to reach them are to use (roughly in this order):
- A balloon to fly to the Taverley Slayer Dungeon and run north. (Requires the completion of the Enlightened Journey quest.)
- Use Home Teleport to get to Burthorpe and run south.
- Use Home Teleport to the Lodestone in Taverley and run east.
- Use Falador Teleport and run north then west.
- A Games necklace to teleport to the Burthorpe Troll Invasion and run south.
- A Combat bracelet to teleport to the Warriors' Guild in Burthorpe and run south.
If a player receives an assignment they do not wish to do, both Turael and Spria may give an easier assignment if the player talks to them. This always works if the assignment is for a creature that isn't assigned by them. Normally, Turael and Spria will not reassign a task if they can assign that creature themselves. For example, if Duradel assigned a player Desert lizards, then Turael/Spria may not change the task, as they too assign Desert lizards. However, if the number of creatures to be slain is far greater than what he would assign, it is possible that he will change the task. For example, if Duradel assigned 140+ Kalphites, then Turael/Spria will change this, as they would not assign that many to kill. In this case, Turael/Spria will give a new assignment, a new creature to slay or fewer of the same creature - its an entirely new drawing so you can receive the same monster. Note that it is impossible for a player to get Turael/Spria to reassign a task that they gave out.
Slayer points
Completion of a task assigned by Turael/Spria will not grant any slayer points, in fact, if it was a task replacing one from another master: it will reset all the tasks you did before. So, if you're on the 48th task and take a replacement one off Turael/Spria, all progress will be reset to 0.
Canifis: Mazchna
Mazchna is the second easiest Slayer Master. To be assigned monsters from him, you must have a combat level of at least 20.
Mazchna is located northeast of Canifis. The fastest ways to reach him are to use (roughly in this order):

Ancient cavern: Kuradal
Kuradal, Duradel's daughter, is the highest and hardest Slayer Master. She requires at least level 110 combat and 75 Slayer. She can be found in the Ancient Cavern past the Brutal green dragons and up the stairs that lead to the Dragon Forge. There are only four ways to 'access' her (ordered by fastest to slowest):
