A Slayer Task can be completed by killing the specified number of the assigned task monster, when complete a new task in that same tier will be automatically picked at no cost to the player. Optionally, the current task can be extended before it has been completed (increasing the number of monster kills required for task completion), or a new task of any tier can be chosen. Both extending a task and choosing a new task costs [[File:Slayer_Coins.svg|25px|middle|link=Slayer Coins]] [[Slayer Coins]], the costs for each are listed in the above task tier table. | A Slayer Task can be completed by killing the specified number of the assigned task monster, when complete a new task in that same tier will be automatically picked at no cost to the player.

When choosing a new task, a [[#Slayer Tier Monsters|monster of the selected tier]] will be chosen at random. Monsters within [[Slayer Areas]] can only be chosen if the player meets the level requirement, and owns (or has previously owned) either the equipment required for entry or an item such as the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} that bypasses slayer area item requirements. For example, supposing a player has sold their {{ItemIcon|Climbing Boots}} then it is still possible to be assigned any of the monsters within {{ZoneIcon|Perilous Peaks}} as a Slayer Task. These rules are relaxed when a task is automatically assigned while {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} is enabled - in this case the player will only be assigned monsters within areas that can be accessed with their active equipment set. | When choosing a new task, a [[#Slayer Tier Monsters|monster of the selected tier]] will be chosen at random.

The number of monsters assigned per task is a random number that generally increases as the task's tier and the player's {{Skill|Slayer}} level increase. Formulas used to determine both the minimum/maximum possible task size and the increase when extending a task are included within the [[#Slayer Task Mechanics|Slayer Task Mechanics]] section. | The number of monsters assigned per task is a random number that generally increases as the task's tier and the player's {{Skill|Slayer}} level increase.

{{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer}} is an unlock 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 Slayer Coins. | {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Slayer|nolink=true}} is an unlock that can be purchased from the [[Shop]] for {{SC|150000}}.

While this option is checked, after killing the final monster in a Slayer Task the player will automatically swap to fighting their next Slayer target. '''Only monsters in areas the player can currently access can be rolled while auto-slayer is enabled'''. For example, a player who does not have either a {{ItemIcon|Mirror Shield}} or a cape such as the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}} that bypasses slayer area requirements equipped would not be assigned {{MonsterIcon|Strange Eyed Monster|Strange Eyed Monsters}} while auto slaying. | While this option is checked, after killing the final monster in a Slayer Task the player will automatically swap to fighting their next Slayer target.
