An Example of a Creature Specific Slayer

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

  • increase damage/success of all attacks on all monsters within that group;
  • double damage to the monsters they are meant for;
  • 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; and
  • successful use of a slayer weapon, spellbook, or musical 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 runic tools. Slayer instruments can only be found on monster loot. A slayer spellbook 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, Repond Slayer, Reptilian Slayer, and Undead Slayer. These super slayers cover a large group of different, but racially similar, monsters.

Lesser Slayers

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

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

Slayer Opposites

In a mechanic of the game that was long thought dormant but not, each slayer type has an "opposite." Wielding a slayer type against its opposite will cause the attacker to take more damage then he or she would otherwise. For example, using an Undead Slayer against a reptile will cause the attacker to take additional damage from the reptile. The same applies to using an Ophidian Slayer against a Terathan. (This limits the usefulness in combat of the Berserker's Bardiche, an artifact found during the Ophidian invasion event cycle.)
