Benefits

The emote

• Once per day, while wearing the relevant mask, the next assignment the player receives will be Banshees. They will still need to go to a Slayer Master that normally assigns these creatures – if they do not, the player will be told which Slayer Master assigns them. This does not work if they are in the process of setting up a co-op Slayer assignment.
• Twice per day, this mask will teleport you directly to a choice of locations where Banshees can be found
  • Morytania Slayer Tower (Near Markus)
  • Morytania Slayer Tower (First floor)
  • Pollnivneach Slayer Dungeon
• Every creature killed is tallied, while the mask is worn. Each mask has a set amount of kills assigned to it that, once reached, "uses up" the Slayer experience and double drops effects, and turns the mask into a helm. For banshees this is 200. The kill count continues to be tracked beyond this point, up to 999,999 kills.
• A right-click option outputs total kills of that creature. If the helm has yet to be unlocked, there’s also a message to say how many more kills are needed to do so.
• After the helm version has been unlocked, the player is free to switch between it and the mask version, as a cosmetic preference only – this does not restore the Slayer experience and double drop effects to the mask.
• This mask will also act as ear muffs and a face mask (to protect from the Smoke dungeon).
