Rune Slayer Character Creation - Best Races to Roll For

Race Rerolls in Rune Slayer cost 150 Robux, and they are fairly bad value. So, it's best to buy new slots instead and get new races randomly on those slots. Generally, the best races are Dullahan, Slime, Ailuran, and Elf. For the full rundown, check out our Rune Slayer race tier list.

Rune Slayer Class Selection - Best Classes to Pick

There are six classes in Rune Slayer, and you pick one of them out during character selection. Each class has specific sub-classes that allow you to customize your build further later on. Also, you'll eventually be able to multi-class. Here is the rundown of all the classes and which ones are best.

Class	Tier	Description
Striker	A	Striker is a melee class that specializes in close-range combat using their fists. It's fairly simple to use, and it performs well both in PvP and PvE due to its easy-to-chain attacks. Striker's biggest weakness is a lack of defensive stats.
Thief	B	Thief is a melee class that specializes in close-range combat using a dagger. It's one of the weakest PvE classes, but its PvP potential makes up for that. It has a lot of mobility and single-target burst potential, though it is fairly squishy.
Priest	S	Priest is currently the best class in the game, mostly because the healing it provides makes clearing content a whole lot easier. Its offensive power is a bit lacking, but if you're alive for longer, you'll eventually outvalue any of the other classes.
Warrior	B	Warrior is a melee class that has both tankiness and DPS. However, its tankiness pales in comparison to that of the Priest, and its offensive power isn't as high as that of the Thief or the Striker. It's arguably the worst class in Rune Slayer right now.
Archer	A	Archer is a ranged class that performs extremely well in PvE due to its high sustained DPS. Plus, because it's ranged, kiting enemies and staying healthy is that much easier. The only downside is that in PvP, most melee enemies will get to you before you can nuke them.
Magician	B	The Magician excels in dealing damage to enemies from range and applying buffs and debuffs. Its performance is fairly underwhelming both in PvE and PvP, and its arguably one of the worst ranged classes to play in Rune Slayer right now.

How to Sell Items in Rune Slayer

You can sell all the items that you want to get rid of at the John The Merchant NPC in the starting town (Wayshire). He has a stall right in the middle of the town. Here, you can also buy certain consumables and materials needed for crafting.

How to Join the Adventurer's Guild in Rune Slayer

The Adventurer's Guild headquarters are located on a hill within the starting town (Wayshire). To join the guild, simply interact with the Receptionist NPC next to the Job Board. Once in the guild, you'll be able to take on quests from the Job Board.

How to Accept Quests and Level Up in Rune Slayer

Most of the quests you'll get in Rune Slayer will be either from Quest NPCs marked with yellow question marks or from the Job Board within the Adventurer's Guild. The difference between those two is that NPC quests are non-repeatable. Doing these quests will reward you with EXP, currency, and items needed to progress.

How to Tame Pets and Use Them in Rune Slayer

To tame a pet in Rune Slayer, you first have to hit it once to aggro it and then take out its favorite food. You'll know that the taming is working if there is a red heart above the monster's head. If the process is successful, you'll receive the monster as a pet. If it fails, you'll have to kill it. Here are all the tameable monsters and how to tame them:

To summon/unsummon a tamed pet, you'll have to hold T, and to change its state, you just need to click T. To ride your pet/mount, you'll first need to equip it with a saddle, which you get from a level 20 NPC quest. After that, interact with it to start riding it.

That does it for our Rune Slayer beginner's guide. Starting your journey and progressing should be that much easier with all the tips and tricks we listed! For more RS content, be sure to bookmark the Rune Slayer section here on PGG.
