A facemask is a Slayer item worn on the headgear armour slot, requiring level 10 Slayer to wear, which cannot be boosted. The facemask can be bought from any Slayer Master for 200 coins. There is a facemask spawn inside a locked cage on the top floor of Kourend Castle, however the only way to pick it up is with telegrab.
It must be worn when fighting dust devils and smoke devils, otherwise they will dramatically decrease players' stats.
Wearing a facemask will prevent infection from Nex's virus attack.
While mining volcanic sulphur deposits in the Lovakengj sulphur mine, wearing a facemask will significantly reduce the damage poison gas clouds inflict on players.
During Mourning's End Part II, a dwarf named Thorgel will agree to trade the player a death talisman in return for a list of items, which includes a facemask.
This item is required to craft a Slayer helmet.
