Slayer Armor

General Information

Slayer armor will reduce hit and spell damage by 50% as well as grant 75% spell poison resist chance. The chance of getting this bonus is scaled by the number of slayer pieces you have for that particular foe (e.g. if you have 2 pieces out of 6, then you only have a 33% chance of getting this 50% damage reduction. When you are hit by the corresponding slayer monster, a flash/sound occurs on your character, similar to using a slayer weapon.

How do I make it?

Thanks to the knowledgeable researcher Blaine the Gypsy, we have the following information...

Slayer armor can be created by placing glowing runes in a specific order inside a Crystal Workbench. So first you will need to acquire a crystal workbench.

The crystal workbench is created from crystals mined in a Random Dungeon Adventure. The crystals require 120 Mining skill to mine. It is not known at this time if mining gloves can be used as a buff to mine the crystals. Each crystal that is mined will provide one set of crystal shards used to create the workbench. After 10 shards, you will be able to craft a Crystal Workbench using the Tinkering crafting skill. The work bench can then be locked down in a house and used to create your slayer armor.

Once you have acquired a crystal workbench then you will be able to utilize glowing runes with the workbench. So start farming those glowing runes!

Any type of gargoyle kin will have a chance to drop glowing runes, but there are other monsters in the world that have dropped runes as well. Example, glowing runes can also be obtained from Monsters in a Random Dungeon Adventure.

Each glowing rune represents a letter from the gargoyle alphabet and using the recipes described above will tell you what order you should put the glowing runes inside the Crystal Workbench.

You will be able to click on runes to see "which rune" they are as they have a description of the letter they represent. Also the addition of the Rune Reliquary, described below, really helps greatly to organize and pull runes out for later use.

After the glowing runes have been placed in the correct order inside the Crystal Workbench, hit the 'imbue' button and click a piece of armor. You can imbue ANY existing armor (excluding blessed pieces) with a slayer property so it is best to imbue the best possible pieces of armor.

Glowing Rune Reliquary

To make it easier to collect and pick out the appropriate runes, you can purchase a Glowing Rune Reliquary from Sasha the Unique Wares Vendor near West Britain Bank. It costs 250,000 gold pieces and holds up to 50 of each rune. A real time saver!

The chest has to be locked down in your house to be used. You can drop runes on it individually or drop a bag of runes on it and it will scoop them up and sort them for you. When you double-click the chest, you will be presented with a menu showing you how many of each rune you have. Each entry has an arrow next to it to allow you to take out one rune.

Old Slayer Armor History

A Gargoyle Alchemist used to drop recipes that would tell you what order the glowing runes would need to be placed in. These monsters no longer spawn in the world.

There are two types of Crystal Workbench. An old Pre-Patch workbench which cannot apply Silver recipe ("nechra"). At this time there are very few of these even remaining. Typically the only Pre-Patch workbench you may encounter would come as an IDOC loot drop from a very old house. You will need to contact a Game Master using the Help menu to get the workbench patched.

There are two ways to tell it is an old workbench, the old gump below and that it is unable to apply silver "nechra".
