Help this slayer noob out please.

Heres my question, it's about the new slayer helm.

 

well two...

 

 

 

Does it give extra experience?

 

Does it run out with the black mask on it?

[tryto]

a)No. The advantages it has over a regular black mask are:

 

i)Better defense

 

ii)Can be used on abberrants, wall beasts, and dust devils.

 

 

 

b)It does not decay if that's what you mean. I'm not sure if it can be made from a black mask (10) and use up the charges.

[ElkNight]

im pretty sure it has to be made of a black mask (0)

Confirming, you can only make them from the uncharged black masks. They never degrade or run out or anything like that, you can always dismantle them if you want to sell the black mask.

oh, what does a regular black mask do brand new.

As i'm sure you're aware, the uncharged version gives you a 15% attack and strength bonus when wearing it killing a monster you are currently assigned for by a slayer master.

 

 

 

The charged versions, which are the origional drops, start with 10 charges. "Black mask (10)". These charges are pretty much useless. All they do is, randomly, on any monster (and players too), is activate on their own and reduce the opponents defence some. I'm not sure how much, since it's pretty much a waste of space, and you can't control it, i've never seen a study into it.

 

 

 

You can only use the mask for a slayer helmet when it's uncharged, and theres no way to "recharge" a mask.

black mask gives +15% strength and attack when on a slayer task, the charges, which fire randomly lower your opponents defence by 3-10 points. There is currently no way to recharge this mask.

 

 

 

[rant]why do people ask questions that can recieve answers a lot quicker with a very easy search of the tipit database?[/rant](sorry)

Slayer helm is thing combined from few head slot slayer items (Black mask, earmuffs, face mask, nose peg and spiny helmet): http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=7530 then it give these things bonuses & etc..

 

 

 

This make then:

 

1. You waste less bank space because you have 5 items just in 1 slot;

 

 

 

2. You can use black mask effects on slayer monster which require some protective slayer head gear, then before update in this way you was unable to use on they black mask, like: Aberal scepters, banshees & etc..

 

 

 

3. Less chance to forget something when you go to kill monsters which require some slayer head gear.

 

 

 

4. It give some defence bonuses (check then link) then it better then black mask.

I remember hearing somewhere that the charges on a black mask are somehow connected with how much damage that you take, so you could keep a fully charged mask forever if you on'y used it on praying tasks.

 

 

 

However, I never cared enough to really look into it and that could be completely wrong.

Problem is then black mask use charges randomly & automatically, if you have black mask (10) and if you will train slayer with it your black mask will use all of they randomly, these charges if i good remember decrease enemy defence when it used, player unable control it except some update changed it, but i don't know it...
