Talisman slayers
From UO:PvE Wiki
All nine talisman slayer families and their exact creature-class membership.
Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.
How talisman slayers work#
The equipped talisman can satisfy the weapon damage code’s slayer check. A match adds the same +100 percentage-point modifier used by a matching weapon slayer; matching both the weapon and talisman does not add two slayer bonuses. Lightning Arrow skips this attacking slayer check.
Membership includes subclasses of each listed class. Talisman slayers use their own table and have no opposition groups in this implementation. A repeated RatmanMage entry in the Vermin source has been listed once below.

Bovine weapon exception#
Butcher’s War Cleaver explicitly checks the Bovine talisman family even without relying on an equipped talisman. Its slayer result then enters the normal weapon damage pipeline.
