The '''slayer helmet''' is a single item worn in the headslot that combines multiple pieces of protective and beneficial slayer gear. It may be assembled after a player spends 400 [[Slayer reward points]] to learn how to craft one, additionally requiring level 55 [[Crafting]]. The Slayer level requirement for the slayer helmet is 35, which is also needed to complete the pre-requisite quest [[Smoking Kills]]. When worn, the helmet provides the special effects of all of the [[Slayer]] equipment which it was made from:
*An uncharged [[Black mask]] (charged will not work), giving 16.66% attack and strength boosts for non-special attacks against all monsters that are part of the player's current slayer task. A charged mask ({{GEPrice|Black mask}} coins) can be purchased and its charges can be removed on right click.
*A [[Nose peg]], protecting against the special attacks of [[aberrant spectre]]s (200 coins from a slayer master).
*A pair of [[Earmuffs]], protecting against the special attacks of all types of [[Banshee]]s (200 coins from a slayer master).
*A [[Face mask]], protecting against the special attacks of [[Dust devil]]s and the effects of the [[Smoke Dungeon]] (200 coins from a slayer master).
*A standard [[Spiny helmet]], protecting against the special attacks of [[Wall beast]]s (650 coins from a slayer master). This is not to be confused with the treasure trail reward, the [[Spiked helmet]].
'''Note: [[Masked earmuffs]] will ''NOT'' work when crafting the Slayer Helm, it must first be disassembled.'''

While the black mask's effects only occur against monsters that are on the player's current slayer assignment, the protective effects of the other items are present regardless of assignment.

The Slayer helmet's combat statistics are the same as a [[rune full helm]]. However, unlike the rune helm, it confers no negative bonuses, but has no damage absorption.

For players with undead Slayer assignments, the boosts given by the [[Salve amulet]] or [[Salve amulet (e)]] do '''NOT''' stack with the effects of a Slayer helmet.

==Assembling the helmet==
[[File:Slayer helmet detail.png|left|110px]]
If a player were to use one slayer master only, the minimum tasks needed to be completed to earn the points required is as follows (this includes the 4 no-point tasks, and excludes any special task):
*[[Mazchna]]/[[Achtryn]]: 316 tasks.
*[[Vannaka]]: 70 tasks.
*[[Chaeldar]]: 32 tasks.
*[[Sumona]]: 30 tasks.
*[[Duradel]]/[[Lapalok]]: 23 tasks.
*[[Kuradal]]: 20 tasks.
*Or a combination of the above.
*A proven way to decrease the time it takes to getting 400 points is by doing 9 low-level tasks, and on the 10th completing a harder slayer masters task.

After unlocking the ability to make the helmet, a message appears in the chat window stating: ''The secret is yours. You can now combine a black mask, face mask, spiny helm, nosepeg and earmuffs into one useful item''. The Slayer helmet acts as a combination of: an '''uncharged''' [[Black mask]], a [[Nose peg]], a pair of [[Earmuffs]], a [[Facemask]], and a [[Spiny helmet]]. All of the aforementioned items are required to craft the helmet, as well as a [[Crafting]] level of 55 (can not be assisted). The helmet retains the abilities of all the items used to make it. It still gives the effect that the black mask does, but with better defence and bonuses, making it one of the best helms for slayer assignments.

The quickest way to obtain the [[Black mask]] is to buy a charged black mask from the GE then simply click ''remove charge''. This may come in handy if a player wants the slayer helmet fast as it's a slow process to buy an uncharged one.

For a player to construct the helmet, they must use one item on another if all the necessary items are in the player's inventory. The quest [[Smoking Kills]] is required to earn Slayer Points, and therefore must be completed before the Slayer helmet can be crafted, and worn. After being made, the slayer helmet may be disassembled and reassembled at any time (unless it has been enchanted to hold summoning scrolls).

The [[assist system]] cannot be used to make the slayer helmet although boosts may be used.

After an update on [[8 February]] [[2010]], you can create a [[Full slayer helmet]] by combining the slayer helmet with a [[Hexcrest]] and a [[Focus Sight]]. Similarly to the [[black mask]], these improve magic and range by 16.66% during slayer tasks. These items are respectively dropped by the [[Jungle Strykewyrm]] (73 Slayer required) and the [[Desert Strykewyrm]] (77 Slayer required).

The slayer helmet costs {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEPrice|Black mask|n}}+{{GEPrice|Nose peg|n}}+{{GEPrice|Earmuffs|n}}+{{GEPrice|Face mask|n}}+{{GEPrice|Spiny helmet|n}}}}}} coins given that all the components are bought from the Grand Exchange.

==Summoning enchantment==
As of [[27 January]] [[2009]], it can now be enchanted to hold summoning scrolls by [[Pikkupstix]] (with a summoning level of 20). When it is charged with at least one Scroll it takes on a lighter colour. If the slayer helmet is charged to hold summoning scrolls, it will also require level 20 [[Summoning]] in order to be worn.

==Trivia==

*The Slayer helmet weighs 2 kg; however, all of the disassembled components weigh 11 kg.
*Charged slayer helmets can not be crafted into [[full slayer helmets]].
*The Slayer Helmet, along with the full slayer helmet, can be worn with a slayer level of less than 60, which is odd because the nosepeg has a Slayer requirement of 60.
*Its examine is the same as the [[spiny helmet]].
*It was revealed at the 2011 [[RuneFest]] that it does not increase weapon special damage.
*You can currently buy the ability to recolour the slayer helmet from Xuan in the Loyalty Shop for 4000 Loyalty Points.
*The slayer helm received a graphical update on [[6 March]] [[2012]]. The full slayer helmet didn't receive the update until the following day.
