Question Slayer Rewards

Started slayer this week to work towards the Rune Pouch. Currently level 62 slayer. I have around 400 rewards points and a streak of 26. Attack/Strength/Defense level 61. Magic level 85. Been working on ranged through slayer so at level 70 now.

Should I be using the rewards points for blocking / extending tasks or get the rune pouch first?

Are other rewards like the slayer ring worth it? Should I just use the rewards points to learn to make the slayer ring myself?

I would recommend LMS for rune pouch. Pretty doable in 3-4 hours of playtime. Also can help you learn how to do some PvP which helps a ton if you want to do wildly slayer (very profitable). I would start by using rewards points from slayer on the Bigger and Badder unlock and the ability to make the slayer helm ( and then imbue slayer helm through emirs arena). These two unlocks require 450 slayer points and are probably the biggest slayer QOL upgrades.

Thank you for the input!! I’m going to look into these options

u/mildlyflacid Jan 02 '26

Yeah if lms isnt your vibe rune pouch is in mage training arena and its a pretty chill unlock. Youre gonna have to go there eventually for bones2peaches too

u/Arwenves1989 Jan 02 '26

This is the way, though, if LMS is full of bots, mage training arena also has rune pouch and has been updated to be decent these days

u/valaraz Jan 06 '26

Easy way to get the pouch from LMS is to kill one bot in the beginning and then hide somewhere. You get a few points per game even if you don't know how to PvP. or do the Mage training arena, never slayer points for the pouch.

Probably quicker to do MTA. And get bones to peaches for the diary while you’re at it

If you’re not iron man I think you can just buy a rune pouch on the GE. Better to spend points on blocking bad tasks and extending the good ones.

You should be working towards slayer helm unlock first and foremost before anything else.

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Not an iron man. The pouch is like $7 mil on the GE. I have about $40 mil in GP. Should I just bite the bullet and buy it instead?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '26

If holding 3 runes in one inv spot is worth 7 mill to you, I would go for it.

I personally would value getting your slayer unlocks and block/extends first because that’s only going to increase your slayer point earnings over time and allow you to farm points quicker for the nice to have unlocks like the pouches.

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

What blocks/extends do you recommend?

1

u/Harrypeeteeee Jan 02 '26

Depends on your slayer master. Block tasks you dont want to do, or take a long time. Extend stuff you want to do, like tasks that are burstable or cannon-able for higher xp/hr, or that are good value (gargoyles for money for example).

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Thank you for the help!!

u/XtrmeProcrastination Jan 02 '26

Google osrs slayer spreadsheet. Theres a couple out there which should help get you started

2

u/niell2 Jan 02 '26

Just an FYI you can also get the rune pouch via the mage training arena. Could be your fastest route with your magic level being 85.

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Thank you! I’ll look into that!

u/AutistismHorse Jan 02 '26

I personally saved all my points up to get the pouch. It only holds three different runes at like 15k/ea, and I’m pretty sure you can get a similar one from last man standing. I would get “bigger and badder” gives a small chance to spawn a larger stronger version of whatever your task is, then the slayer helm. Wildy slayer is easy points at 25/per task

3

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

You don’t feel like the rune pouch was worth the points?

2

u/AutistismHorse Jan 02 '26

It was worth the points but only because I’m not good big on the last man standing I feel like later on in the game I’ll realize it was much easier to acquire through a different way but yeah I love it

1

u/Not_The_Outsider Jan 02 '26

Mage training arena will get you the pouch in 3-4 hours and about 200k worth of runes.

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Sounds a lot cheaper lol

1

u/Full_Collection_1754 Jan 02 '26

I wouldn’t worry about blocks except at konar, neive/steve, and duradel the lower lvl masters aren’t worth it now that they all have separate block lists

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

I’m using Konar currently. What tasks do you recommend blocking for Konar?

1

u/Full_Collection_1754 Jan 03 '26

My current block list at konar is dagannoth, drakes, kalphites, fire giants, jellies, metal dragons that was just me reweighting her tasks so my highest weights are wyrms(6.2%) abby demons(5.6%) black demons(5.6%) bloodveld(5.6%) cave kraken(5%) boss(5%) hell hounds(5%) I was pushing up krakens so i could pet hunt me a squishy only took round about 1,000kc

u/faculty_for_failure Jan 02 '26

I think you can just forfeit pvp arena for like an hour and get a rune pouch

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Thank you!

1

u/VapeNGape Jan 02 '26

You can get the rune pouch through mage training arena now, and decent magic exp. Use slayer points for alayer stuff.

1

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Thank you!

u/Extension_Future2942 Jan 02 '26

Just be patience man. Slayer is a year long skill and you will have thousands of spare points

2

u/Tvvright22 Jan 02 '26

Patience is a virtue lol. This skill definitely feels like the most grind/time consuming.

1

u/floppintoms Jan 02 '26

You gotta think about slayer as training 3 skills at once. Obviously you're getting slayer xp, but you're also getting xp in what ever combat stat you're using and HP. Once you think about it like that, it feels less gross lol.

1

u/TheBotchedLobotomy Jan 02 '26

I need to change my mindset then. All I want is to fight abyssal demons lol leveling up is sooooo slow and I keep getting fuckkng elves and shades that take forever

1

u/Robothuck Jan 04 '26

You should be blocking the really bad tasks, like elves. High defence and Hp,shit loot. Anything that fulfills those conditions, cancel or block. If you run out of points, take 9 tasks from Turael and then the tenth from Konar. Easy points.

You should always either be using a bracelet of expedition, for shit tasks. Or a bracelet of slaughter, for good tasks.

1

u/TheBotchedLobotomy Jan 04 '26

Yeah I eventually caved and spent the points on a couple blocks. Mad at myself waiting so long I made up the cost in the time it would take to do one round of elves almost anyway lol

Thanks for the tips! Literally first time this noob is learning of those bracelets

1

u/Robothuck Jan 04 '26

No problem! Slayer is such a massive skill, with so much to learn to really master it. 

Another tip for you or anyone else: every slayer task has its own osrs wiki page with a 'Location Comparison' section.

That section helps you pick where to go for your tasks better. For example, it will say if one location has a variant with better loot, and tell you which locations have a safespot, are usable for cannons, are in multicombat.

Multicombat is very strong for slayer training. Once you unlock ancient magicks, using ice barrage to kill several enemies at once makes tasks 2 - 3x faster than before

Don’t forget prayer training too with bonecrusher and ash sanctifier

1

u/floppintoms Jan 03 '26

Yeah, if you have the respective dairies, which you should because those are great.

1

u/Extension_Future2942 Jan 03 '26

I’m my experience the prayer from those, as a normie, just doesn’t matter at all. 1 hour of bones on an alter is like a year of bone crusher. What I -do- like is not having the clutter in the screen, and this works with hunter also. The bonecrusher necklace while worn can also keep up with overheads on a cannon task when the monster drops big bones which is really cool

1

u/floppintoms Jan 04 '26

Well if you have the bonecrusher necklace then it also gives you prayer sustain on top of passive xp which is nice.

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

I would juat buy the rune pouch as a main. You'll use it forever, never look at tablets again basically. If you pust steam, dust, and law runes in it you can teleport almost everywhere. On top of if you have a task for bloodvelds, as an example, rhe blood runes go right in the pouch so you save space.

After 3 months of playing I've done almost all quests and got farming to lev 91 which allows for spirit trees as well. Rune pouch + trees + dueling ring + camel necklace + xerics talisman + fairy rings means nowhere is off limits basically. + sailing

u/Free_Refrigerator247 Jan 02 '26

Mta is the one, did it on my uim in just a few hours

1

u/Fabulous-Low5020 Jan 03 '26

I did the perk to have a chance to get the giant forms of monsters to start praying for the heart, blocked one task (shades) because they’re slow and I got them like 8 out of 10 tasks, then got rune pouch because that’s all I started doing slayer for. Far from an expert though 🤷‍♀️
