Sling bullets of (foo) slaying are missiles that can be fired with a sling, and possess slaying powers against appropriate monster type. They have default stats of (+3, 2d3).
(Foo) can be one of eight monster types: constructs, demons, dragons, humanoids, plants, insects, undead or giants. Each hit against the corresponding monster type will grant a critical hit (with added +100% base damage for using proper slaying weapon, thus making final critical multiplier in the range from 3x to 6x) They are specific item types, thus cannot have magical prefixes or suffixes.
The following table provide stats for slaying bullets available in the game.
| Target monster type | Base stats | DL |
|---|---|---|
| Construct | (+3, 2d3) | 15 |
| Demon | (+3, 2d3) | 15 |
| Dragon | (+3, 2d3) | 18 |
| Giant | (+3, 2d3) | 17 |
| Humanoid | (+3, 2d3) | 20 |
| Insect | (+3, 2d3) | 12 |
| Plant | (+3, 2d3) | 10 |
| Undead | (+3, 2d3) | 17 |
Desirability[]
They offer extremely high damage if used against the proper enemy type, though practically their usefulness depends on monster type; demon and humanoid slayers are highly valuable, while plant and insect are not so much, and the rest of the types fall somewhere in between.
They deal much more damage then Rocks or Lead sling bullets, but just like lead sling bullets, they get smashed too frequently to enjoy a long life, and can only be found randomly.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
They can be obtained in the same manner as all generic loot.
