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. Super Slayers are effective against a large group of different, but racially or elementally similar, creatures. The Super Slayer comes in Talisman-based or instrument/spellbook/weapon-based form.
Talisman Slayers do not affect spells. The Damage Increase from both talisman-based and instrument/spellbook/weapon-based forms is cumulative, or stacks, subject to the 300% cap.
- The following Super Slayers are found on Talisman: Bat, Bear, Beetle, Bird, Bovine, Fire, Ice, Mage, Vermin, & Wolf.
- The following Super Slayers are found on musical instruments, weapons, and spellbooks: Abyss, Arachnid, Elemental, Fey, Repond, Reptile, and Undead Slayer.
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 War event cycle.)
