Method Lvl XP/hr GP/XP To goal Hours
Turael Skipping cheapest

Cannon Tasks (Nieve/Duradel)
Drop a Dwarf multicannon on your tasks in multi-combat caves for steady hands-on XP; cannonballs quietly eat into profit. 		1 45,000 -2 — —
Bloodveld (Catacombs) afk
Melee mutated bloodvelds in the Catacombs under Protect from Melee with long AFK gaps; low effort, gentle XP, small profit. · 170 xp/kill 		50 35,000 +1 — —
Dust Devils (Burst)
Ice Burst stacked dust devils in the Catacombs; needs a facemask and 65 Slayer, with cheaper runes than the higher burst tasks. · 130 xp/kill 		65 75,000 +1 — —
Gargoyles (Konar) profit
Chip Konar gargoyles down and finish each with a rock hammer; semi-AFK with steady alch drops and Brimstone keys at 75 Slayer. · 105 xp/kill 		75 55,000 +9 — —
Nechryael (Burst) fastest
Burst greater nechryaels in the Catacombs; their death spawns add extra targets for some of the best XP in the game. · 210 xp/kill 		80 90,000 +2 — —
Abyssal Demons (Burst) fastest
Burst abyssal demons in the Catacombs for fast XP and a shot at the 1/512 Abyssal whip; they teleport, so keep chasing stragglers. · 150 xp/kill 		85 80,000 +2 — —
Smoke Devils (Cannon + Barrage) fastest
Cannon and barrage smoke devils together for the fastest Slayer XP without alt accounts; needs 93 Slayer and a supply budget. · 185 xp/kill 		93 110,000 +1 — —
Alchemical Hydra profit
Endgame boss task at 95 Slayer; a tougher fight, but its rare unique drops make it the richest Slayer money in the game. · 1320 xp/kill 		95 33,000 +110 — —
About training Slayer

Slayer is trained by collecting kill assignments from Slayer masters and grinding through them, so choosing a "method" really means picking your master and deciding which tasks to burst, cannon, block, or skip. The fastest experience comes from stacking monsters in multi-combat spots like the Catacombs of Kourend and hitting the pile with Ice Barrage or a Dwarf multicannon, while the biggest money sits in longer boss tasks. Once your combat is high enough most players settle on Duradel for XP or Konar for loot, blocking their worst assignments and skipping the slow ones at Turael.

Did you know: Reaching level 99 Slayer takes 13,034,431 XP, and even at the fastest realistic non-alt pace of roughly 110,000 XP/hr cannoning and barraging smoke devils, that is still about 118 hours of nonstop killing.
