====Weaknesses and Slayer Weapons====
Many creatures in the game have an innate weakness to one or more types of damage. Sometimes, the weakness can be guessed if the creature is made of a particular element or material as the primary weakness will be the opposing element. For example, a golem made of ice or water will fall quickly to fire attacks and a creature made of fire will be easily defeated with a frost weapon. See each [[creature]] page for a list of weaknesses that a creature may have.

The Slayer special property will increase the damage dealt to a specific creature type. Many creature Slayers can be found on quest weapons while some can be added to [[loot]] weapons using special gems.

Quest slayer weapons tend to benefit mages more than melee or ranged weapon users. This is because by using the quest weapon, a melee/archer is usually giving up the chance to use armor rend or critical strike and so gains little, whereas the mage gets essentially an additional vuln.

See [[:Category:Slayer]] for a list of the slayers available.
