Slayer weapons (originally called virtue weapons by the players) were introduced unannounced Pre-AOS. They do double damage to the specificed type of monster.

Slayers do NOT work on players in PvP anymore, but DO work on players in shape shifted form. Players in another form will do extra damage (50%) to people using opposing slayers. See FOF 56

There are SUPER slayers and specific slayers. This list does not inlcude the slayer properties found on talismans. The below list is grouped by Super slayer, and the lower level slayers that fall under it.

There is a DOWNSIDE to using slayers. This is called "opposing slayer groups". Using an opposing slayer on a monster causes an increase in damage recieved (50%). Bards will have a decreased chance of success if using an opposed slayer instrument (using a repond slayer on a lich lord). The penalty will be assessed for using any of the slayer types under the group (using a troll slayer against lich lord is the same as repond against lich lord)


Slayer items can be crafted using a runic tool (fletcher, smith, carpenter) or by scribes on spellbooks. The most common is made by dull copper hammers. With the new arms lore changes, these crafted slayers can have up to 40% DI (35% GM bonus, 5% from GM arms lore).Mondains L
