The Slayer property is found on certain weapons, instruments, talismans, and spell books. This property will do the following when used in an offensive manner:

-Increases damage/success of all attacks on all monsters within that group.
-Slayer Weapons will do double damage to the monsters they are meant for.
-Slayer Spellbooks will cause most spells to do double damage to the monsters they are meant for.
-Slayer Instruments will increase your success chance by 20% when used on the creatures it is meant for.
-Slayer Instruments will decrease your success chance by 20% when used on the creatures from its opposing group.
-A successful use of a Slayer Weapon, Spellbook or Instrument will yield a little white flash on the monster

The Slayer property can be found as a rare drop in monster loot or crafted by a player when using a runic tool. Slayer instruments can only be found on monster loot. Slayer Spellbooks however can only be crafted by scribes using a scribe pen, and not necessarily a runic.

There are two types of slayers, Super Slayers and Lesser slayers. The Super Slayers cover large groups of racially similar creatures. There are seven different Super Slayers: Abyss Slayer, Arachnid Slayer, Elemental Slayer, Fey Slayer, Humanoid Slayer, Reptilian Slayer, and Undead Slayer. These super slayers cover a large group of different, but racially similar, monsters.

The Lesser Slayers are creature specific. They will say the name of the creature then slayer. For example: "Lizardman Slayer".
An Example of a Creature Specific Slayer

The Lesser Slayers are:

-Ogre Slayer     -Water Elemental Slayer        -Gargoyle Slayer                      
-Orc Slayer      -Earth Elemental Slayer        -Dragon Slayer                    
-Troll Slayer    -Snow Elemental Slayer         -Scorpion Slayer
-Troll Slayer    -Fire Elemental Slayer         -Terathan Slayer                    
-Snake Slayer    -Air Elemental Slayer          -Lizardman Slayer            
-Spider Slayer   -Poison Elemental Slayer       -Ophidian Slayer
                 -Blood Elemental Slayer


In a mechanic of the game long thought dormant but not, each slayer type has an "opposite." Wielding a slayer type against its opposite will cause more damage to be done to the attacker. For example, using an Undead Slayer against a Reptile monster will cause the attacker to take additional damage from the Reptile, and using an Ophidian Slayer against a Terathan will do the same. (This limits the usefulness in combat of the Berserker's Birdiche, an artifact found during the Ophidian invasion event cycle.)
