Slayer Skills

Embrace the Path of The Slayer: Trophy drops earn buffs vs creature types!

Trophies dropped from creatures increases your Slayer level, and add to your damage buffs against that creature.

Keep track of your slayer level on the Trophy panel. Every trophy dropped increases your buff until you reach the coveted title of Slayer

Configure how slayer points are awarded in multiplayer, by creature level and for bosses.

Your tamed creatures can help gain slayer skill points.

• LowerSkillsOnDeath: If enabled, will lower slayer skills for all creature types the same percentage as 'regular' skills.
• AllowCheats: If enabled, allows raising and resetting Slayer skills using 'raiseskill' and 'resetskill' commands from the console by using the trophy name of the creature.

Slayer Points

Distribute grants a fraction of a point evenly to every player in group. KillingBlow grants the point to the player that dealt the death blow.

Notes

To use cheat commands, you must have AllowCheats enabled (true). For the raiseskill/resetskill commands, you must enter the displayed name of the trophy exactly as it appears in the trophy panel, in its entirety, replacing any spaces with an underscore (_), e.g. raiseskill Greydwarf_Brute_Trophy 5

All config settings are server authoritative except those in bold italics

You don't need to pick up a trophy to earn the slayer points. Points are awarded when the trophy drops. You don't need to retain the trophies to keep the slayer points. The points are 'permanent'.

DamageCap is the maximum percentage of your normal damage that can be added to the normal damage, when fighting different creature types. To actually get the maximum damage buff applied, you must achieve the maximum Slayer level. SkillCap is the maximum number of Slayer points that can be collected from dropped trophies. Your current Slayer level determines the actual percent of your maximum buff added to your attack damage.

Once you have achieved Slayer status for any creature type:

• Your slayer skill for that creature will not be lowered on death.
• You will no longer earn any additional slayer skill

If the SkillCap is raised:

• You will no longer be considered a Slayer until reaching the new cap (and will be subject to death penalties)
• You will be eligible to accumulate more slayer skill

If the SkillCap is lowered:

• You will become a Slayer for creature types where your slayer skill is already above the new cap
• You will not lose existing slayer skill (in case the cap is raised again)
• Your slayer damage will be limited to the new cap.

If you set UseCreatureLevel to true, 'starred' creatures will increase the Slayer points awarded for dropped trophies, based on the number of 'stars'.

The BossAdjustment sets the additional Slayer points awarded when the boss drops a trophy.

• If UseCreatureLevel is set to true, the BossAdjustment value is added to the level of the boss (for mods that power-up bosses by increasing their 'Stars')
