Laniakea
Laniakea is the best slayer master in Runescape 3 currently. She has high requirements, with a minimum of level 90 slayer and 120 combat to be assigned a task by her. She can be located on Anachronia’s eastern side, for this reasons it is highly recommended that you unlock the Anachronia Basecamp lodestone.
Slayer Points per task
Players will receive a number of slayer points every successfully completed task, dependant on how many they have already completed. While no quests are required to use Laniakea, it is highly recommended that the player has completed the Smoking Kills quest, as this will double the amount of points received. With completion of the quest, Laniakea will award the following amount of points:
- 22 Slayer points per regular task completion.
- 110 Slayer points for every 10th task completion.
- 330 Slayer points for every 50th task completion.

Morvan is the second best slayer master in RS3, requiring a minimum of level 85 slayer and 120 combat to use. This slayer master can be found in the Iorwerth District of Prifddinas, just south-west of the lodestone. This does mean that completion of the Plague’s End grandmaster quest is also required to locate and use this master in Runescape.
Additionally, Morvran has a special slayer challenge he will assign to players occasionally. He will ask players to go and kill “famous monsters” in Runescape as their slayer assignment. These famous monsters can be either the Giant Mole, King/Queen Black Dragons, Dagannoth Kings, Kalphite Queen, any of the four GWD generals or Araxxor. Players who do so successfully will be awarded 50,000 slayer experience and 45 slayer points.

As always, completion of the Smoking Kills quest is highly recommended, to allow players to receive double slayer points. For players who have they will receive the following points per task:
- 20 Slayer points per regular task completion.
- 100 Slayer points for every 10th task completion.
- 300 Slayer points for every 50th task completion.
Tasks for Morvran Prefer List
- Abyssal Demons
- Corrupted Creatures
- Nightmares
Tasks for Morvran Block List

Kuradel
Kuradel is another great slayer master in Runescape 3, mainly aimed at players bridging the gap between mid-level and high-level slayer content. She requires a minimum of level 110 combat and level 75 slayer to be used. She is the Daughter of Duradel, which is the slayer master players should be using before they have the ability to use Kuradel.
Kuradel can be found in the Ancient Cavern, once inside the Cavern head to the south-west corner and climb the stairs to reach her. Using a ferocious ring players can teleport directly to Kuradal, otherwise use the fairy ring code B-J-R.
Slayer Points per task
As always, completion of the Smoking Kills quest is highly recommended, to allow players to receive double slayer points. For players who have they will receive the following points per task:
- 18 Slayer points per regular task completion.
- 90 Slayer points for every 10th task completion.
- 270 Slayer points for every 50th task completion.
It is generally recommended to avoid preferring any monsters at this stage. As the points can be better saved until higher tier slayer masters such as Laniakea and Morvran. However, players can block tasks such as Grotworms & Abberant Spectres, as these will remain on the list when training with Morvran.
Duradel
Duradel is the most well-known and popular slayer master for mid-tier players training slayer. He is unlocked at level 50 slayer and 100 combat, allowing you to grab assignments from him. To find him, players will need to go to Shilo Village, for this players will of course need to have completed the Shilo Village Quest. Inside the village he can be found on the 1st floor of Fernahei’s Fishing Hut.
After completion of While Guthix Sleeps, Duradel will be replaced with Lapalok. The new master Lapalok provides identical functionality to Duradel.
Slayer Points per task
As always, completion of the Smoking Kills quest is recommended, so that players receive double slayer points. For players who have completed the quest they will receive the following points per task:
- 15 Slayer points per regular task completion.
- 75 Slayer points for every 10th task completion.
- 225 Slayer points for every 50th task completion.
Mandrith
A notable mention in this list of high-level slayer masters is Mandrith. He is actually the highest requirement slayer master in Runescape 3 currently, with 120 combat and 95 slayer needed to use him for task assignments. Mandirth is unique in the fact he will only assign monsters that are found in the wilderness. In addition to this, Mandrith will ignore a players prefer and block lists, assigning monsters even if they are on the list or not on the list at the same rate.
Mandrith himself can also be found in the Wilderness, just east of the Pirates’ Hideout. On successful task completions players will be rewarded with a wilderness slayer chest and one reaper point (if the player did not die, kill outside of wilderness or skip tasks).
Slayer Points per task
Mandrith provides the highest slayer points on average per task, tied with Laniakea. After completion of the Smoking Kills quest players will be awarded the following slayer points upon successful task completions:
- 22 Slayer points per regular task completion.
- 110 Slayer points for every 10th task completion.
- 330 Slayer points for every 50th task completion.
This slayer master is generally the best one in the game for farming slayer points. Although, using low-level slayer masters for the first 9 tasks and then using Laniakea on your 10th task will actually provide slightly better results overall.
