{{Skill|Slayer}} experience can be earned by killing the [[monsters]] found in Slayer Areas, regardless of if the player has a task for that [[Monsters|monster]]. The Slayer experience earned in Slayer Areas is equal to 5% of the slain [[monsters|monster's]] hitpoints. Slayer Areas with equipment entry requirements require the item to be worn during [[Combat]] to deal damage to the [[monsters|monster]] being fought. Unequipping the required item during combat results in the player's attacks consistently missing. Wearing either the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}, {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}}, or {{ItemIcon|Cape of Completion}} removes this requirement.

In addition, many of the [[monsters]] found within Slayer areas drop unique items that cannot be acquired elsewhere.


Some Slayer Areas have area effects, which will negatively impact the player while in combat with [[monsters]] within that area. The impact of these effects can be reduced by wearing equipment such as slayer armour (acquired from the [[Shop#Slayer|shop]]), {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}}, {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}, {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}}, and {{ItemIcon|Cape of Completion}}.

All Slayer areas other than {{ZoneIcon|Penumbra}} and {{ZoneIcon|Forest of Goo}} have {{Skill|Slayer}} level requirements that must be met before [[monsters]] within the area may be fought. Some of these areas will also require a specific item of equipment to be worn, this equipment can be purchased with [[File:Slayer_Coins.svg|25px|middle|link=Slayer Coins]] [[Slayer Coins]] from the [[Shop#Slayer|Shop]] and must be worn at all times when in combat - if the item is unequipped during combat then all of the player's attacks will miss until the item is re-equipped. Alternatively, the player can equip either the {{ItemIcon|Slayer Skillcape}}, {{ItemIcon|Max Skillcape}}, or {{ItemIcon|Cape of Completion}}, which bypasses the equipment requirement for any Slayer areas that have any such requirement.
{{ZoneIcon|Dark Waters}} has a unique requirement, where the {{ZoneIcon|Into the Mist}} dungeon must have been completed at least once before the area can be entered.

Some Slayer Areas have area effects, which will negatively impact the player while in combat with [[monsters]] within that area. The strength of these effects can be reduced by wearing equipment which provides Slayer area effect negation, a complete list of such equipment is provided [[#Items with Area Effect Negation|below]].
There are two types of effect negation: percentage and flat, where percentage negations are applied before flat negations. The difference between the two types can be illustrated with a simple example: Suppose an area has an effect of -30% accuracy rating, then:
* A '''percentage''' negation of 10% would reduce the area effect to 90% of its original strength, so the area effect would instead reduce the player's accuracy ratings by <math>30 \times \left (1 - \tfrac{10}{100} \right ) = 27\%</math>
* A '''flat''' negation of 10% would reduce the area effect by 10 percentage points, which would reduce the player's accuracy ratings by <math>30 - 10 = 20\%</math>
In other words, the reduced strength of an area effect can be calculated using the following formula:
<math>\text{Reduced Area Effect Strength(%)} = max \left [ \text{Base Area Effect Strength(%)} \times \left (1 - \frac{\text{Percentage Effect Negation}}{100} \right ) - \text{Flat Effect Negation}, 0 \right ]</math>

skill. Unlike other combat areas, killing monsters within these areas will grant the player

experience equal to 5% of the slain monster's hitpoints. In addition, many of the monsters found within Slayer areas drop unique items that cannot be acquired elsewhere.

Most Slayer areas have entry requirements that must be met before monsters within the area may be successfully attacked. Areas may also have area effects, which will negatively impact the player while in combat.

level requirements that must be met before monsters within the area may be fought. Some of these areas will also require a specific item of equipment to be worn, this equipment can be purchased with Slayer Coins.svg Slayer Coins from the Shop and must be worn at all times when in combat - if the item is unequipped during combat then all of the player's attacks will miss until the item is re-equipped. Alternatively, the player can equip either the Slayer Skillcape, Max Skillcape, or Cape of Completion, which bypasses the equipment requirement for any Slayer areas that have any such requirement.

Area Effects

Some Slayer Areas have area effects, which will negatively impact the player while in combat with monsters within that area. The strength of these effects can be reduced by wearing equipment which provides Slayer area effect negation, a complete list of such equipment is provided below.

There are two types of effect negation: percentage and flat, where percentage negations are applied before flat negations. The difference between the two types can be illustrated with a simple example: Suppose an area has an effect of -30% accuracy rating, then:

  • A percentage negation of 10% would reduce the area effect to 90% of its original strength, so the area effect would instead reduce the player's accuracy ratings by [math]\displaystyle{ 30 \times \left (1 - \tfrac{10}{100} \right ) = 27\% }[/math]
  • A flat negation of 10% would reduce the area effect by 10 percentage points, which would reduce the player's accuracy ratings by [math]\displaystyle{ 30 - 10 = 20\% }[/math]

In other words, the reduced strength of an area effect can be calculated using the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Reduced Area Effect Strength(%)} = max \left [ \text{Base Area Effect Strength(%)} \times \left (1 - \frac{\text{Percentage Effect Negation}}{100} \right ) - \text{Flat Effect Negation}, 0 \right ] }[/math]
