Slayer helmet



The Slayer helmet may be crafted after a player spends 400 Slayer reward points to learn how. The Slayer level requirement for the Slayer helmet is 35, which is needed to complete the quest to allow the player to wear the mask. Charged slayer helmets require level 20 Summoning in order to be worn. When worn, it has the special effects of the Slayer equipment items it was made from: While the black masks effects only occur against monsters that are on the player's current slayer assignment, the effects of the other items are present regardless of assignment.
 * An uncharged Black mask, giving 15% attack and strength boosts against all monsters that are part of the player's current slayer task.
 * A Nose peg, protecting against the special attacks of Aberrant spectres.
 * A pair of Earmuffs, protecting against the special attacks of all types of Banshees.
 * A Facemask, protecting against the special attacks of Dust devils and the effects of the Smoke Dungeon.
 * A Spiny helmet, protecting against the special attacks of Wall beasts.

The minimum tasks you must complete from each slayer master is as follows (including the 4 non point tasks) :
 * Mazchna: 316 tasks.
 * Vannaka: 70 tasks.
 * Chaeldar: 32 tasks.
 * Sumona: 30 tasks.
 * Duradel/Lapalok: 23 tasks.

The Slayer helmet's combat statistics are nearly the same as a Rune full helm, however, unlike the Rune helm it confers no negative bonuses.

For players on undead Slayer assignments, the boosts given by the Salve amulet (unenchanted) or Salve amulet (e) do stack with the effects of a Slayer helmet. It is also a common mistake that special attacks do not work with the boosts of items like this, although that is completely untrue.

As of 27 January 2009, it can now be enchanted to hold summoning scrolls by Pikkupstix with a (summoning level of 20). When it is charged with at least one Scroll it takes on a lighter colour.

Making the helmet


After unlocking the ability to make the helmet, a message appears in the chat window stating: ''The secret is yours. You can now combine a black mask, face mask, spiny helm, nosepeg and earmuffs into one useful item''. The Slayer helmet acts as a combination of: an uncharged Black mask, a Nose peg, a pair of Earmuffs, a Facemask, and a Spiny helmet. All of the aforementioned items are required to craft the helmet, as well as a Crafting level of 55. Note that the black mask must be uncharged. The helmet retains the abilities of all the items used to make it. It still gives the effect that the black mask does, but with better defence and bonuses, making it one of the best helms for slayer assignment.

For a player to construct the helmet, they must use one item on another (except for earmuffs with a face mask as this will create masked earmuffs) if all the necessary items are in the player's inventory. The quest Smoking Kills must be completed before the Slayer helmet can be crafted, and worn. After being made, the Slayer helmet may be disassembled and reassembled at any time (unless it has been enchanted to hold Summoning Scrolls).
