In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the Slayer helmet is an iconic and indispensable item for any player engaged in the Slayer skill. Crafted by combining a Black mask or its variants with various monster heads, this distinctive headgear offers unique benefits. The Slayer helmet not only provides excellent offensive bonuses but also offers remarkable protection against assigned Slayer monsters, nullifying their special attacks.
Slayer Helmet Stats
Requirements:
- To wear the Slayer Helmet, you need to have level 10 Defense.
- To create the Slayer Helmet, you need to have level 55 Crafting and level 35 Slayer.
Benefits:
- Combines Multiple Headgear: The Slayer Helmet functions as a combination of various headgear items, including the Black Mask, Nosepeg, Earmuffs, and Facemask. This means you no longer need to carry multiple headgear items for different Slayer tasks.
- Damage and Accuracy Boost: The Slayer Helmet provides a damage and accuracy boost of 15% when fighting creatures assigned as part of a Slayer task. This bonus can significantly increase your combat effectiveness.
- Protection Against Smoke: The Slayer Helmet provides protection against the smoke from Dust Devils and prevents the loss of hitpoints when fighting them.
How To Obtain:
To obtain a Slayer Helmet, you can follow these steps:
- Acquire a Black Mask: Black Masks are dropped by cave horrors and cave abominations. The drop rate can vary depending on the specific cave horror variant.
- Create a Slayer Helmet: To create the Slayer Helmet, take your Black Mask and a bunch of other items like a Nosepeg, Earmuffs, and Facemask to a Slayer Master (Konar quo Maten, Duradel, or Nieve) and pay a fee of 400 Slayer reward points. They will then combine these items into a Slayer Helmet for you.
- You can also upgrade your Slayer Helmet to a Slayer Helmet (i) by attaching a Slayer Enchantment to it. This allows you to use the helmet as a teleport to specific Slayer locations (including Slayer Tower and Stronghold Slayer Cave) and extends the helmet’s teleport charges.
Tradeable:
The Slayer Helmet is untradeable, meaning you must create it yourself, and it cannot be bought or sold to other players.
The Slayer Helmet is a versatile and essential item for players who actively engage in Slayer tasks. It streamlines your equipment needs, enhances your combat abilities, and provides protection against various Slayer task-specific hazards.
The Slayer Helmet is highly recommended for any OSRS player focused on Slayer training.
