RSorder OSRS: You begin with five block slots

Reaching level 99 Slayer in Old School RuneScape is a journey measured in years and millions of RuneScape gold experience points rather than days and quick gains. You need 13,034,431 experience to cap the skill,and very few players achieve it without gathering countless memories of good assignments,frustrating monsters,and the eternal debate over which tasks deserve a place on the block list. I have walked that path myself. While grinding combat stats,I quietly ticked off Slayer levels until,finally,the cape was mine. That experience convinced me that managing your task list matters almost as much as wielding the right gear or casting the right spell. A thoughtfully curated block list keeps you fighting creatures that are fun,profitable,and experience‑dense while sidestepping everything that drains time,gold,or sanity.

Slayer is designed as a companion to combat,not a vocation you train in isolation. Because of that,most players don't sit down and simply "power‑train" the skill from level 1 to 99. Instead,they reach the milestone organically while improving Attack,Strength,Defence,Ranged,and Magic. Yet even if you prefer the scenic route,you can nudge the journey in a friendlier direction by refusing tasks you loathe. Every Slayer Master offers this service for 100 points per block,and the fee is worth every last point if it spares you from hours of tedium or eye‑watering repair costs. Always put your enjoyment first: an "efficient" path that feels like punishment will have you logging out more often than leveling up.

You begin with five block slots. A sixth opens once you have banked 300 total quest points,and a seventh arrives after completing the Lumbridge Elite Diary. Realistically,anyone serious about a 99 in Slayer should aim for both milestones early. The Quest Cape brings dozens of quality‑of‑life perks that make Gielinor feel smaller and more accessible; the Lumbridge elite rewards are less glamorous but still shave minutes off repetitive errands. For the sake of this discussion,I shall assume you wield all seven block slots and prefer tasks from Duradel in Shilo Village— or from Kuradel if you finished While Guthix Sleeps. The order below is not a strict hierarchy; feel free to rearrange according to your own tolerance for OSRS GP risk,cost,or boredom.
