Mazchna

Mazchna is a low-level Slayer master. He will give slayer assignments to any player at combat with level 20 or higher. He is located in north-eastern Canifis. Mazchna is noted for usually giving assignments close to his area.

For players who have completed the Smoking Kills quest, Mazchna gives 1 Slayer reward point per task completed, 5 points for every 10th task, and 15 points for every 50th task. He is not recommended to use for every 10th and 50th task. For example, using instead Sumona, Duradel (his replacement Lapalok) or Kuradal (Duradel's daughter) for these tasks gives a greatly increased amount of points. For example, Duradel gives 75 points for completing a 10th task and 225 points for a 50th task. Kuradal even gives more points, 90 for every 10th task, and 270 points for every 50th task.

After the release of Smoking Kills, Mazchna became one of the most popular slayer masters, even among higher-level players in pursuit of slayer reward points. Because Mazchna's tasks are easy to complete by high-level players, a player can accomplish the first 9 tasks with ease and then use Duradel/Lapalok for every task which is a multiple of 10, for the 75 or 225 points. Some higher level players may also choose to use Kuradal.

Mazchna plays a small role in the While Guthix Sleeps quest. He is one of the band of eight heroes who attempt to save the player from Lucien after the player's identity is compromised. Mazchna is one of only two in the band that survives the ensuing battle. This might be because he is "pretty much immortal" (as he tells the player when he is recruited to the band). Or, it might be because he, like the other survivor, were fighting the undead that Lucien raised rather than Lucien himself. All six who attacked Lucien directly perished. In any event, Mazchna is not invulnerable and appeared to be seriously injured during the battle.



Immediately after the battle, he teleported away to his homeland. Thereafter, he can be found at his normal spot in Canifis. For a while after the quest, he is seen as limping around, supporting himself with his sword, but later he appears to be totally recovered.

During the quest it can be seen that he has a combat level of 197.

Assignments
'''*Many slayer monsters have numerous variants of the monster assigned. Please check the monster's page for more specific information about the different variants.'''

NOTE: Slayer masters assign higher-levelled monsters more frequently if the player's combat level is high.

Slayer Challenge
After a player has performed several slayer tasks for Mazchna, he will occasionally offer a special task in place of a regular slayer task. The player can decline to take the special task without penalty. If the player accepts the special task, completing the task:
 * Earns a bonus of 2000 Slayer experience beyond that earned during the task itself.
 * Earns a bonus of 3 Slayer reward points, if the player has completed the Smoking Kills quest, beyond the normal points received for a task from Mazchna.
 * Counts as a task for the player's consecutive task count, which is used for slayer reward points.

Mazchna's special task is for the player to slay all the creatures corrupting the Fairy rings in Morytania. The player must go to each of the three fairy rings in Morytania: At each ring, the player must contact Mazchna using an Enchanted gem. If the player does not have a gem in inventory when the task is assigned, Mazchna will give the player a gem for free (even if the player has an enchanted gem in the bank). However, Mazchna will not give the player a gem if the player's inventory is full (and still won't if the player later returns with an empty inventory slot and speaks to him about the task again).
 * CKS near Canifis (a safe area until Mazchna is contacted)
 * ALQ in the Haunted Woods (Vampires and Leeches are present).
 * BKR in the Mort Myre Swamp (Ghasts and the Mort Myre Swamp effect are present; a Blessed silver sickle and Druid pouches are recommended).

The player does not have to use the fairy ring transport network; simply walking to the rings is sufficient. When near a ring, the player activates the enchanted gem to contact Mazchna. The player does not get the usual choices when the gem is activated (if the usual choices appear, then the player is not near enough to the ring).

The three monsters you have to fight are a Ravenous snail (level 33) at ring BKR, a Ravenous vampire (level 72) at ring ALQ, and a Ravenous ghoul (level 42) at ring CKS. The fairy rings can be done in any order.

Trivia

 * At one point, an image in the Knowledge Base showed a character doing Desert Treasure while wielding a sword very similar to Mazchna's. The image has since been removed. With the release of Smoking Kills, the leaf bladed sword was released, which is similar to the one that Mazchna is wielding.


 * Mazchna seems to be wearing an Adamant platebody.
 * During one of the cutscenes in the quest While Guthix Sleeps, Mazchna is shown to be level 197.

Please add image from While Guthix Sleeps.
 * In a Postbag from the Hedge, Mazchna revealed that he is a demon, and that he chased all other demons in Morytania away so that he would guarantee his Slayer Master monopoly in the region.
 * For a time after a player completed While Guthix Sleeps, when Mazchna gave tips to the player, his name would appear as "slayer_master_2_multi_wounded", whereas before it was just slayer_master_2_multi. This has since been fixed.
 * In addition, Mazchna also had a "wounded" NPC sprite appear to those who completed the quest. In an update, his regular NPC sprite was restored.
 * Mazchna appears to be wearing Dharok's platebody, Torag's platelegs and Ahrim's hood during the cutscene in the quest While Guthix Sleeps.
 * Even when talking to him via NPC Contact he will still "hand" you an Enchanted gem for his Slayer Challenge.
 * Achtryn temporarily replaces Mazchna during While Guthix Sleeps and is the only Slayer Master that does not have 2 or more vowels in his name, if you do not count 'y' as a vowel.
 * When you receive a Slayer Challenge after completing While Guthix Sleeps and use the 'Kills-left' option of the gem, the game states that 'You are currently doing a special task for Achtryn; speak with him if you need help with this task', instead of Mazchna. This is yet to be fixed.
