Spiritual mages are potent magic users in the God Wars Dungeon who require 83 Slayer to kill. Like all monsters in the God Wars Dungeon, they are aggressive to players not wearing items showing affinity to their god, or one of the three types of Ancient equipment.

Spiritual mages are a good source of soul runes, as well as various elemental staves and talismans. In addition, they are currently the only monster to drop dragon boots and gauntlets. They are affected by the buffs of the salve amulet and salve amulet (e).

Armadylean spiritual mages will count towards completing an Aviansie slayer assignment.

  1. ^ Replaces members' only drops in free-to-play.

  3. ^ a b Jagex. Mod Timbo's Twitter account. 19 January 2018. (Archived from the original on 22 January 2019.) Mod Timbo: "1/1280 if you hit the RDT, requires T4 luck to be worn in order to get a hold of it. Of course there are tons of different ways to access the RDT so it changes massively depending on what you're fighting, what you're wearing etc."
  4. ^ Vecna skull requires tier 4 luck. Chance is 1/1,280 per roll of the rare drop table with the tier 4 luck requirement.[d 3]
  5. ^ Cheese+tom batta indicates a roll for Hazelmere's signet ring without tier 4 luck.
  6. ^ Blurberry Special indicates a failed 1/10 roll for Hazelmere's signet ring with tier 4 luck.
  7. ^ Hazelmere's signet ring requires tier 4 luck. Rarer than the Vecna skull.

Universal drops[edit | edit source]

These items are dropped alongside main drops.

Graphical updates[edit | edit source]

  • patch 27 January 2009 (Update):
    • Fixed Saradomin spiritual warriors and mages using the wrong attack animations.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • These are the only Slayer monsters assigned by Kuradal that do not drop effigies.
  • Bandosian spiritual mages are unique (along with a few other monsters) in the fact that, although they possess a wander range, they remain static until attacked, in which they will move accordingly to reach their target.
  • Prior to the Evolution of Combat, spiritual mages, like their melee and ranged variants, were unique among each faction:
    • Zamorak's spiritual mages used the Flames of Zamorak spell; although they had the highest magical accuracy, they had the lowest defence and were tied for the least amount of health with Armadyl's spiritual mages.
    • Saradomin's spiritual mages used the Saradomin Strike spell, and had the highest max hit.
    • Bandos' spiritual mages were significantly weaker than the other mages, but made up for this with higher health and defence.
  • As of 1 February 2018, the highest kill count for these monsters was 219,004 kills.[2]
    • This had increased to 234,232 by 6 May 2018.[3]
