{{Skill|Slayer}} should be leveled alongside your core combat skills. Some of the best items in the game drop exclusively in slayer areas, and it will provide plenty of opportunities to level up your combat skills.

I highly recommend doing {{Skill|Slayer}} for early levels and unlocking {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} as quickly as possible. Not only will it give great XP, it will also level your skills.
One of the most common noob traps is ignoring {{Skill|Slayer}} early, then realizing later that you need {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Elite)|Elite Slayer}} / {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Master)|Master Slayer}} gear. It takes 15 Normal Slayer tasks to buy the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Basic)|Basic Slayer gear}}. The {{UpgradeIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade (Strong)}} / {{UpgradeIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade (Elite)}} / {{UpgradeIcon|Slayer Gear Upgrade (Master)}} take 25 Hard Tasks / 30 Elite Tasks / 40 Master Tasks respectively.
Slayer Areas sometimes require items that must be purchased using [[slayer coins]] from the [[Shop]]. You should try and acquire these as soon as possible. One note, the monsters locked in these areas will not be rolled in slayer tasks until the item is purchased from the shop. You can leverage this to control the task rolls.

For melee, your goal is to wear and wield the highest level gear available to you. I have replicated the tables here, abbreviated for the point where you're going to need to start clearing the higher-level dungeons.
