Editing Slayer (section)

== Socketing ==
'''Thurvar''', an Imcando dwarf found in Barbarian Village, can forge a socket into a dragon weapon. A socketed weapon holds one enchanted gem.

=== Forging a socket ===
You need the ''Dragon weapon socketing'' [[#Unlocks|unlock]], level 10 Slayer and the following items:

| Dropped by the goblin thief just south of Barbarian Village. You keep the hammer afterwards.
|}

Below level 61 Slayer there is a chance that the weapon '''shatters''' and is lost along with the gold bar and pies. Thurvar warns you and asks for confirmation first.

=== Setting a gem ===
With a regular '''hammer''' and '''chisel''' in your inventory, use an enchanted gem on the empty socketed weapon. You need the gem's tier unlock and the Slayer level below. This step cannot fail.

|}

=== Removing gems and sockets ===
Thurvar can also undo his work:
* '''Remove a socketed gem''' – needs 3 redberry pies, the enchanted hammer and <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:thurvar-s-enchanted-chisel.png|40px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">Thurvar's enchanted chisel</span></div>, which is also dropped by the goblin thief. The gem is returned undamaged.
* '''Remove an empty socket''' – needs 3 redberry pies and the enchanted hammer, and returns the original weapon. Like forging, this can shatter the weapon below level 61 Slayer.
=== Monster gems ===
A weapon set with a Demon, Dragon or Giant gem gives '''+24 aim and +24 power''' while fighting a monster of that family. The boost appears when you attack and fades when the fight ends.

The [[Enraged shadow giant]] has 3,000 defence and is practically immune to normal weapons. Against it a Giant gem weapon instead grants '''+2,100 aim and +30 power''', making it the special weapon the slayer masters hint at.
