Slayer: Difference between revisions

When choosing a new task, a [[#Slayer Tier Monsters|monster of the selected tier]] will be chosen at random. Potential monsters from [[Slayer Areas]] will only be chosen if the player meets the area's minimum {{Skill|Slayer|nolink=true}} level, has completed any one-time unlock requirements, and owns (or has previously owned) any equipment required for entry. (Access to gear that bypasses Slayer Area item requirements, such as the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}, will also qualify for this check.) For example, if a player had previously purchased {{ItemIcon|Climbing Boots}} but has since sold them, it is still possible for that player to receive {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} monsters as a Slayer Task. These rules are relaxed when a task is automatically assigned (following the previous task's completion) while {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer|notext=true}} [[#Auto Slayer|Auto Slayer]] is enabled; when this happens, the player will only be assigned monsters from areas that can be accessed with their active equipment set.

The number of monsters assigned per task is random, but generally increases with the player's {{Skill|Slayer|nolink=true}} level and with higher difficulty tiers. Specifically, the number of monsters required for a new task is defined as <math>C_r = \left ( \text{Tier} + 1 \right ) \times 10 + 4 \times \left \lfloor r \times \text{Slayer Level} + 1 \right \rfloor</math>, and the increase in task duration when extending a task can be calculated as <math>E = \left( \text{Tier} + 1 \right ) \times \left (10 + \left \lfloor \frac{\text{Slayer Level}}{5} \right \rfloor \right )</math>, where:

* <math>0 \le r < 1</math> is a random number

* <math>\text{Tier}</math> is defined as:

** Easy = 0

** Mythical = 6

Therefore, the task size (before extension) is between <math>\left ( \text{Tier} + 1 \right ) \times 10 + 4</math> and <math>\left ( \text{Tier} + 1 \right ) \times 10 + 4 \times \text{Slayer Level}</math> monsters (inclusive).

{{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer|nolink=true}} is an upgrade that can be purchased from the [[Shop]] for {{SC|150000}}. Once unlocked, it adds a checkbox to the Slayer Task panel on the Combat screen labelled "Automatically fight new Slayer Task?" Once purchased, the option can be toggled off and on freely without needing to spend any additional {{Icon|Slayer Coins}}.

While this option is checked, the player will automatically receive a new Slayer target from the same tier after killing the final monster in their current Slayer Task. '''Only monsters in areas the player can currently access can be rolled while Auto Slayer is enabled.''' For example, a player who has not equipped the {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} (or an item that bypasses Slayer Area requirements like the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}) would not be automatically assigned {{MonsterIcon|Strange Eyed Monster|Strange Eyed Monsters}}, even if they have an unequipped {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} in their Bank.

Players intending to idle with Auto Slayer should make sure they can survive encounters with all of the possible monsters in the chosen tier, even after [[Combat Triangle]] modifiers to [[Damage Reduction]] are taken into account.  

The standard and superior [[Skillcapes|skillcapes]] for this skill can be purchased from the store for {{GP|1000000}} and {{GP|10000000}} after the player reaches {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} and {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}}, respectively. Reaching {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}} requires the {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion|img=TotH|ext=svg}}.
