Slayer

“The Slayer Masters name a creature and a number. Only the kills they assign train the skill; anything else you fell is just another fight.”

Every skill uses the same XP table: 951,207,314 XP for level 99. Past 99 the XP keeps counting.

How it works

Pick a Slayer Master and they give you a task: a monster and a number to kill. Slayer has no XP of its own per input. It is earned in combat: every kill of your task monster gives 4× its hitpoints as Slayer XP (before XP bonuses from gear and food), on top of your combat XP. Kills off task give no Slayer XP, and choosing Slayer as your skill does nothing by itself: you train it by fighting.

Finishing a task pays Slayer points into one pot, at the rate of the master who gave the task (switching masters mid-task changes nothing). Every 10th task pays ×3 and every 50th ×5 (the bigger one wins when both land). Points are spent here, never turned into gold:

• Skip a task: 30 points.
• Block your current task's monster from ever being assigned again (it also ends the task): 100 points, up to 5 blocks (unblocking is free).

Points shop

Longer Tasks makes tasks ×1.5 as long and pay ×1.5 the points. Boss tasks are 10–30 kills for ×1.5 points, and Longer Tasks stretches and pays those too. A task keeps the settings it was given with, so switching them mid-task changes nothing.

Superiors

With the unlock Bigger and Badder, every on-task kill of a Slayer monster has a 1/200 chance that its next spawn is a superior: the same fight with more HP and ×1.2 stats. A superior counts once toward your task, pays 10× the usual Slayer XP, rolls the normal drops 3 times, and has its own chance at a rare unique.
