Shades can be assigned as a slayer task, with no Slayer level requirement by Mazchna and Vannaka. Level 159 Shades may be found in Stronghold of Security and level 140 Shades may be found in Catacombs of Kourend. The Loar Shades in Mort'ton count for a slayer task as well, and are typically preferred as they are much faster to kill. They are susceptible to the Salve Amulet and Crumble Undead (however, their 40% weakness to wind spells means that Wind Bolt will do more damage than Crumble Undead for the same cost of a chaos rune, providing the player has 35 Magic or more). It is worth noting that combat experience gained while fighting the shades in the Stronghold of Security is drastically reduced; the player will gain 1 experience for 10 damage dealt.
