How to unlock the Slayer Supreme achievement

    This guide is about my method on getting this achievement and to start off I want to say its really grindy past level 30, so unless you just play as you go and have fun, its really just time consuming. I, on the other hand just wanted to 100% game so I grinded non-stop which was kinda mind-numbing. This method has a lot of preparation but its quite efficient and always helps you tick off mastery as you go. Also credits to MushaConvoy : "Regular players get around 100 exp killing Lesser Embermane, Elite players get around 150 exp. It certainly helps to get some of the Mastery ticks, it doesn't help the ones for crafting weapons and taking them to +6/+10/etc."

    Before I go through the steps, here are additional tips that are provided by NXBL's from the comments:
    1. If you have twitch prime, u can get prime loot every month which grant you daily patrol chests (30, I guess). This helps you a lot since crafting weapons and armor grants also ticks.
    2. You can get daily login bonus and get a extra Daily Patrol Chest (go to Store > Event ).
    It's totally free but you have to get it every day. Those Daily Patrols don't expire so it's worth to get it every day although u don't to play.
    3. You can actually buy 100 Daily Patrol Chests Bia shop, which cost 1.000 Platinum.
    This is great if u don't mind cashing into this game and it helps u a lot.
    If you really want to skip a lot of pats, that's what u want do buy. I didn't buy it tho, because I saw this offer at Lvl 39, so it wouldn't have been worth it.

    Below is my grindy but effective guide on getting the achievement.

    Step 1 - Play the game until you beat most of the monsters. After you do, by then you probably will have a strong weapon and armor and still feel fresh from the game.

    Step 2 - The Grind - Armor

    I played the game by playlist patrols. I started from neutral - blaze - frost - shock (I got to level 40 when I was doing the shock playlist). I first decide to craft all armor types in a playlist. For example, I would play the neutral playlist (breaking required parts for crafting) to grind neutral orbs, and get parts for Gnasher, Quillshot and Shrike armors. Once I do, I farm more neutral orbs to upgrade them to each of them 6+ and I stop. Now from now on, I will use the respective armors to fight each monster in the playlist (There is a mastery for hunting monster with their own armor 10 times). You will have to this either way for the next step.

    Step 3 - The Grind - Weapons

    Similar to Armor, after getting armors for each monster in the playlist. You would have to craft their weapons. There is about 3 weapons for each type. (3 swords, 3 Axes, 3 Chain Blades, 3 Hammers, 3 War Pikes). Also its noteworthy to mention (Credits to ScoobyDoobyD0nt's comment) -"with repeaters you can level 4 different things at once, making great quick progress for a while as you use them, leveling up all the barrels and prisms to the 2nd XP bar, the handle and (2nd part i dont remember right now) were both completely maxed out on XP. so yea, i would definitely do that before going for the other weapons."

    Also according to Avoids "While using the guns you are leveling up 3 different things at the same time. So you get 3 ticks for 300 exp, 3 ticks for 900 exp ETC." In my case I created all the swords and upgraded them to 6+ and move on to the next weapon type. This is really grindy but its the fastest way in my opinion and unless your weapon is 8/9+ to reach to 10+ I don't recommend to grind the weapon mastery 10+ for that weapon it just takes too long in my experience. You also have to rotate between weapons as you reach their respective mastery. So change weapons as you go and deal damage as well to help tick off mastery objectives.

    Step 4 - The Grind - Switching playlist

    Once you have all the weapons for a particular playlist upgraded to 6+. Repeat step 2 and step 3 with the next playlist - blaze, frost... etc until you get enough mastery objectives done to reach level 40.

    This is what your mastery should look like as you finish each playlist as you go.

    The length to complete this achievement will differ for everyone, I rotated between weapons so I had my mastery for some weapons fully max and my build during endgame was all mostly valomyr. I honestly started grinding after getting my second last achievement which is getting each weapon type to 10+. From there it took me about a week playing everyday during my holiday break. So yeah, all the best and happy hunting.

    XerApostaticthe guide is old, even the screens are not much use given the big updates that the game has undergone.

    MrNoLuckFoxAny thoughts/ideas for leveling to 40 now with the changes?

    BoofastenThis guide is still 100% accurate, you just need to go into the menu to find the Mastery screen. In the top left is your mastery overall. If you simply play the game now and go for the other achievements - especially getting an escalation to level 25 - you will unlock it without too much difficulty. When you reset a weapon, build a new easy/cheap one and get some easy boxes to check off. This is much, MUCH easier than it used to be

    The best Slayer level experience in Dauntless is earned by finishing each weapon and behemoth mastery bar. You can check your tasks progress in game by pressing Start, then in the menu select Quests & Progression, then Mastery. There are 100s of different tasks to complete.

    The achievement will take dozens of hours to complete since it involves a lot of grinding. We are talking hundreds of successful hunts. I highly recommend a base gear setup using the Iceborne Omnicell plus +6 Toughness cells. It's effective against all behemoths as it heals you as you do damage and makes you much more resistant to being downed.

    Do not try to grind to level 40 by using the same weapon as your progress will slow to a crawl. Because the experience gain from a successful hunt is a small fraction compared to the experience gained completing any mastery task.

    Complete 3 island hunts or a single Escalation hunt with each different weapon (14 behemoth types x 7 weapon categories plus multiple legendary weapons = 100+ weapons). Just craft level 1 (or level 2 or 3) weapons for most of the weapon types if you're willing to take on the easier behemoths. At most 3 hunts are needed to complete your two 50K damage done for each weapon type mastery tasks and it'll fill the first 300 experience earned for each weapon. Repeaters are especially good for gaining mastery experience since it has multiplecomponents which have their own mastery tasks that can be completed all at once. So ideally, it's best to craft all the Repeater components first as it give extra experience as the other weapons.

    If you are still short of level 40, you can finish each 900 experience bar for each weapon and the 150K & 250K weapon damage mastery tasks. Crafting materials permitting you can also boost weapons up to level 6 or even 10 for more mastery experience.

    You can also add +3 Acidic or Barbed cell to any armor configuration to help complete each of the behemoth wound tasks and +3/+6 weighted strikes or knockout king cells for the stagger tasks while you are in the process gaining experience with each weapon.

    MiZ Dove OGThank you for this guide. Until now I did not realize about XP from mastery. I've been at 29 forever and after a million hunts and quests, its still not budging. Now I know. Gave this a thumbs up. Thanks again

    In Dauntless, your player (Slayer) level is tied to the Mastery system and not purely based on Exp gained from kills like other games. The more "ticks" you get, the more your level progresses. It does not appear that the harder challenges give more progression towards your level, so prioritise the easier ticks first. The easiest ticks to get are:

    - Craft all weapons
    - Reach 300 Experience with each weapon

    300 xp is as easy as fighting the Lesser behemoths 2 or 3 times (you get 120xp for the kill, you get smaller amounts as you stagger/would/break). You should be in a position where you can kill it solo (private match by yourself) in just a few minutes. Lesser Embermane is a good all round choice, easy to predict and 6 break points. If you wound all 6 first with the War Pike, then break, you'll have your 300 xp in two matches, even without the Elite pass bonus. For hammers, Skarn is a good choice, you'll easily break his rocks.

    Slayer Level 25 requires 193 ticks
    Slayer Level 30 requires 291 ticks
    Slayer Level 35 requires 420 ticks
    Slayer Level 40 requires 600 ticks (Though FireRaiser1985 had his trigger at 599)

    DF I PhoenixBut does every tick count as the same amount of XP towards the mastery/slaver lvl ? If another lvl 40 could confirm he has the same number of ticks, so that it'll be confirmed we need to work exactly that much on this achievement.
    Posted by DF I Phoenix on 10 Jun 19 at 19:08
    MushaConvoyWhile I've not yet reached 40, FireRaiser1985 confirms my finding as well. Each tick is worth the same, it just gets to a point where all the easy ticks are gone and you're left with harder ones to get.

    There are around 100 weapons, crafting each one, getting 3 Lesser Behemoth kills and taking it to +6 will get you 300 ticks on its own, thats halfway there, not counting how many others you can get along the way.
    Posted by MushaConvoy on 11 Jun 19 at 00:11
    FireRaiser1985I'm almost sure that every tick has the same value on the XP bar. However, you will get to a point where you "only" have the hard and/or most tedious/time-consuming ticks left. Somewhere around level 30-35. I really liked the game so I played it to this point naturally (with the achievement in mind sometimes), and I did the final push around level 35 and I almost died inside. The best way seems to be to craft a weapon, upgrade it to +6 and then use it in 3-4 hunts. In that way you will get three ticks pretty fast. One for creating the weapon, one for +6 upgrade and one for the first XP tick. Look at the mastery card for each weapon. I can also recommend to go solo, since you will have the monster all by yourself. You will get every stagger, wound, part break and so on. Remember to switch weapon, always use another element, always work on on a new tick. For example, you may have staggered Skarn 10 times with the hammer already, well, change to war pike and try to wound him 10 times instead. Everything you do is basically toward one of the ticks. Don't stick with the same weapon/element for too long. I think I could get this achievement slightly faster if I used different weapons/elements more constantly early in the game. I only (well, almost) had my fire chain blades the first 50 hours or so.

    Here is all my overall Mastery stats:
    Behemoth Mastery - 26
    Axe Affinity - 15
    Chain Blades Affinity - 17
    Hammer Affinity - 15
    Repeaters Affinity - 16
    War Pike Affinity - 16
    Sword Affinity - 16

    In the end, there is no shortcuts to this achievement, just pure grind. If you _ALWAYS_ have the achievement in mind during _ALL_ your play time in the game, you might get it pretty "fast". I would not recommend that though since it is a really decent game in my opinion. Play for fun, git gud and start pushing around level 30-35!
