Slayer in Old School RuneScape isn’t just about XP; it’s one of the best passive money-makers in the game when you know which tasks to prioritize. In 2024, the most profitable assignments heavily favor boss-level monsters and high-value drop tables. Here’s the breakdown.
1. Boss Slayer Tasks in OSRS (5M+ GP/hr)
These tasks require high Slayer levels and strong combat stats, but the payout is unmatched:
- Araxxor: ~6.6M GP/hr. Requires 92 Slayer and endgame combat gear.
- Kree’arra: ~6M GP/hr. Aviansie boss with strong ranged loot potential.
- Demonic Gorillas: ~5M GP/hr. Zenyte shards and ballista parts make this consistently lucrative.
- Vorkath: ~4.9M GP/hr after Dragon Slayer II. Dragon Hunter Lance/Bow recommended.
- Cerberus: ~4.1M GP/hr. Huge spike potential from Primordial, Eternal, or Pegasian crystals.
If you can unlock these bosses, your Slayer income becomes elite-level overnight.
2. High-Value Mid-Tier Tasks (700k–1.5M GP/hr)
These require less investment but still yield steady profits:
- Hydra: 1 to 1.5M GP/hr plus Hydra Claw jackpots.
- Abyssal Demons: ~1.2M GP/hr. Consistent whip drops and alchables.
- Nechryaels: Up to 1.5M GP/hr with aggressive methods.
- Dust Devils: ~1.3M GP/hr with cannon bursts.
- Kurasks: 500–700k GP/hr; steady herb and seed income.
- Wyverns: ~780k GP/hr; great for AFK-friendly money.
- Skeletal Wyverns: ~700k GP/hr; strong bones and alchable loot.
- Gargoyles: ~1M GP/hr; excellent for mid-level accounts.
3. Slayer Master Choice Matters
- Duradel: Best for safe, consistent profits; includes high-value tasks like Abyssal Demons and Gargoyles.
- Konar quo Maten: Slightly slower tasks, but Brimstone Keys add bonus loot.
- Krystilia: Wilderness-only tasks with high rewards, but PKer risk.

4. Player Tips for Maximizing Slayer Profits
- Unlock at least level 70 Slayer to access Dust Devils, Nechryaels, and Gargoyles, the earliest truly profitable monsters.
- Prioritize boss unlocks like Hydra, Cerberus, and Abyssal Demons once you hit 91–95 Slayer.
- Use efficient gear: Dragon Hunter weapons, blowpipes, and max melee sets all boost kill speed and GP/hr.
