How to Make a Slayer Helmet
A Slayer helmet combines a black mask with the classic Slayer headgear into one slot. You need the Malevolent masquerade unlock (400 Slayer points) and 55 Crafting (boostable). On task it gives the black mask melee boost; imbue it for Magic/Ranged too. Off-task it still has rune full helm defensive stats — only the task boost is gone.
Skip if: No black mask yet, under 55 Crafting with no boost, or you haven't banked 400 Slayer points for the unlock.
Malevolent masquerade
Boostable
Cave horrors; uncharged OK
Or Soul Wars / Emir’s Arena
Requirements- Malevolent masquerade unlocked from a Slayer master for 400 Slayer reward points
- 55 Crafting (boosts work)
- 10 Defence to wear the finished helmet
- Components in inventory (see below). If you finished A Porcine of Interest, you also need reinforced goggles.
AssembleUse any component on another while all pieces are in your inventory:
- Black mask (or black mask (i) → builds Slayer helmet (i) immediately)
- Earmuffs
- Facemask
- Nose peg
- Spiny helmet
- Enchanted gem
- Reinforced goggles — only if A Porcine of Interest is complete
On a Slayer task the helm gives +16.67% melee accuracy/damage (same as the mask). Off-task you keep defensive stats; you just lose the task boost. Right-click disassemble returns the pieces.
Imbue to (i)- Nightmare Zone: 1,250,000 points (625,000 with Hard Combat Achievements)
- Soul Wars: 500 Zeal Tokens
- Emir's Arena: Scroll of imbuing
- Slayer helmet (i) adds 15% Magic and Ranged accuracy/damage on task (plus the melee mask effect)
- Recolours (turquoise, red, etc.) are separate Slayer reward unlocks after you own the base helm
Checklist- Malevolent masquerade unlocked
- 55 Crafting (or boost)
- Black mask + earmuffs + facemask + nose peg + spiny helmet + enchanted gem
- Reinforced goggles if Porcine is done
- NMZ / Soul Wars / scroll for imbue
- Confirm you're on task before comparing DPS
