A '''Black mask''' requires 10 [[Defence]], 20 [[Strength]], and 40 [[Combat]] to wear. It gives a player 15% [[Attack]] and [[Strength]] boosts against all monsters on the player's current [[Slayer]] task. The black mask's stats are identical to a [[black med helm]], except the black med helm offers +4 [[Summoning]] defence, which the black mask does not.{{Clear|left}}
The mask also has ten charges that are invoked at random against any combat opponents, not just slayer task monsters. A charge lowers the opponent's [[Defence]] level by 3-10. Once the charges are gone, there is no way to recharge it (the slab outside the cave has no effect on it), although its Attack and Strength bonuses remain after being uncharged. The charge is only lost when initiating combat, so fighting one opponent cannot be used as a way of uncharging it.

For players on undead [[Slayer assignment]]s, the boosts of a [[salve amulet]] or [[salve amulet (e)]] do '''not''' stack with the effects of a black mask. Only one (the bigger boost of [[salve amulet (e)]]) will be effective. However, the black mask's effects do stack with the effects of the [[dragon slayer gloves]].

The effects of any prayer bonus will, however, stack upon the already 15% [[Attack]]/[[Strength]] increase on Slayer monster bonus. Boosts from a potion will also stack.

Black masks are dropped by [[cave horror]]s (level 58 [[Slayer]] required), found in the [[Mos Le'Harmless Caves]]. They can also be purchased from the [[Grand Exchange]] with either 0 or 10 charges.

[[File:Black Mask Prices.jpg|thumb|[[Grand Exchange]]s prices of black masks before and after "Smoking Kills" Slayer update on [[5 June]].]]
A 2008 update with the release of the [[Smoking Kills]] quest allowed players to [[craft]] a black mask and other slayer items into a [[slayer helmet]], provided they had [[Slayer reward point|acquired the ability]] to make the helmets. Slayer helmets are valued because of their effects and the fact that they are not tradeable. The black mask has recently been steadily increasing in price due to the update which added the [[hexcrest]] and [[focus sight]] used in the making of the [[full slayer helmet]] which also requires a black mask to make.

As of [[November 2]] 2010, if you wish to sell a black mask with 1-9 charges or create a [[slayer helmet]], you are able to select the "remove-charges" option to fully uncharge it. '''Note:''' You will not be able to get your charges back if you decide to remove them.

==Trivia==
*If a player teleports with a black mask on (using a ring of duelling, games necklace, or amulet of glory), the mask is lifted above the players head similar to a knight raising his plate helmet.
*If a player gets a black mask from a monster, it does not show on Adventurer's Log, as its High Alchemy value is only 1,800 coins.
