I get a little excited talking about this because turning a regular slayer helmet into an imbued one feels like giving your gear a permanent buff in 'Old School RuneScape'. First, you need a normal slayer helmet in your possession — you can craft one if you like the collection route or just pick one up off the Grand Exchange. Once you have the helmet, head to the Nightmare Zone and earn reward points by playing the minigame (the longer, safe-setup sessions using absorption and overloads are the usual route if you're farming points efficiently).
When you’ve got enough points, open the Nightmare Zone reward shop and choose the imbue option. Select the slayer helmet from your inventory and spend the required points to imbue it. The helmet will gain the '(i)' suffix and improved properties; note that imbued items are bound to you and can’t be reverted or traded. I usually do a couple of long NMZ sessions while catching up on a podcast — feels grindy but satisfying when that '(i)' appears, and it’s honestly a tiny moment of PvM pride.
I still prefer calm, methodical runs, so here’s the simplest path I use: obtain or buy a regular slayer helmet, then pile up Nightmare Zone points and use those points to imbue it at the NMZ reward shop. The big practical bits to keep in mind are that you must have the helmet in your inventory when you activate the imbue, the process consumes a chunk of NMZ points, and the result is permanent and untradeable. If you’re short on points, doing long absorption-only NMZ rotations with a friend or using the recommended potion setups will speed things up. People sometimes worry about losing the benefits of a slayer helmet — you won’t, you just upgrade them into a slightly stronger, personal version. For me that permanence makes it feel more like an achievement than a purchase.
Quick, practical, and to the point: you need a normal slayer helmet, Nightmare Zone points, and the NMZ reward shop. Acquire the slayer helmet however you prefer (buying off the market is fastest if you don’t want to craft), then grind NMZ until you have enough points. Use the reward shop’s imbue option with the helmet in your inventory and pay the cost; the item instantly becomes an imbued slayer helmet and is permanently bound to your account. Remember the process is irreversible and you can’t trade the imbued version, so plan your spending. I always savor that small upgrade feeling when the '(i)' shows up, like leveling up my toolkit for tougher tasks.
I like to explain the why before the how: imbuing your slayer helmet makes it a personal, more powerful version that stays with you forever in 'Old School RuneScape'. That matters because the imbued helmet carries the same slayer perks but with enhanced bonuses and the convenience of not needing to constantly swap items; plus it looks slick with the '(i)' tag. Now for the how-to steps in practical order: get a regular slayer helmet (buy from the Grand Exchange or assemble one if you’re into that), play Nightmare Zone to earn reward points (long sessions with absorption potions and overloads are the efficient method), then open the reward shop in NMZ, choose the imbue option, select your slayer helmet in inventory and confirm the spend.
After that, your helmet becomes imbued immediately. A couple of tips I swear by: track how many points the imbue costs before you grind, and do NMZ while doing something else like watching a long stream so the monotony doesn't bite. I always feel a little proud the first time I equip an '(i)' item, like it marks a comfortable step up in my bossing or slayer routine.

"My incubus has been with me for a month, but he still won't let me touch him. What could be the reason for that?"
I type my questions into the customer service feedback form and wait for a reply. The customer service representative replies at once in a very helpful manner.
"Dear customer, our incubi are all very eager to stick to their owners like glue! I'm afraid your issue might be due to a malfunction on his end.
"We can apply for your incubus to be replaced with a new one instead, and he will arrive in a week."
I look at Riven Sterling, the incubus whom I had made tailored specifically to my tastes. After a moment of thought, I decide that maybe I can just wait and observe for a while longer. If he still doesn't change for the better, then I can perhaps send him in for repairs.
After all, Riven is just too perfectly aligned with my tastes. I can't bear to give him up.
However, at the family dinner, I quickly realize that Riven is having a reaction toward my younger stepsister, Teresa Ashford, who is sitting across from me.
It's only then that I recall that Teresa is the one who opened my parcel the last time Riven arrived at the doorstep.
That night, I contact the customer service representative again and say, "You said that the new replacement would be arriving in a week, right? Please send it out, then. Thank you."
The woman Aelfric was to marry had agreed to undergo this ritual with him. It was the only way for them, as two of the area's few healers, to become strong enough to stop the devastating Swamp Fever from claiming the lives of hundreds of children each year.
As healers, they had exceptional training, the problem was power. Aelfric's research had revealed exactly where healing power came from and why, until now, it was so limited. After this ritual, he and his beloved would change the tides of disease and death in these lands, perhaps the entire world forever.
Aelfric knew Silver-Dew abhorred the idea of immortality. What they were about to do would rid their bodies of their very souls, freeing the concentrated power of the life-spark to be used for their magic. He'd painstakingly crafted each of them a vessel to safeguard their soul. Sil wore hers around her neck: a beautiful, lovingly crafted pendant with a blood red stone in the center. The stone was rendered from the carefully heated blood of the beast that had captured her, the very beast Aelfric had slain.
“BEG ME, HUMAN," he growled, his grip on my hair tightening as he pushed harder. “BEG ME TO HAVE YOU.”
I tried to say no, to resist, but I burned to have him. The pain was much but I found myself wanting him more.
Kaelen was a skilled thief with a decent life—until he stole a cursed spellbook from the Inquisition and accidentally summoned Thrakos, the Demon King. Hoping to bind the demon to his will, the ritual backfired, leaving Kaelen magically and sexually bound to a horny Thrakos instead.
Now a pawn in Thrakos’s war against his brother Vaelith, Kaelen gains dangerous powers but loses control. Hunted by Inquisitors, demons, and monsters, he must travel to Vermont to retrieve the Hell-blade—a sacred weapon forged to kill Vaelith. With Sylvia and a shapeshifting succubus at his side, Kaelen faces deadly enemies and the growing darkness within himself.
With each climax and surge of power, Kaelen becomes less human and more demon. When the final battle comes, will he fight for freedom—or embrace his new nature and become the Demon King’s ultimate weapon?

I get a grin every time this debate comes up — there’s a lot of nuance. For me, the slayer helmet shines because it’s more than a single raw damage boost: it bundles convenience, task-specific bonuses, and saves an equipment slot. When I’m doing long slayer stretches I love that it reduces the need to swap pieces, so I don’t waste time banking between spawns or fumbling with gear. The consistency it brings to slogging through a 100+ task trip is underrated; fewer interruptions means better average XP/hour for me.
That said, if I’m doing focused melee content where I want the absolute best single-target crush/strength edge and I don’t care about the slayer extras, the imbued black mask often gives me a sharper damage edge. For soloing specific monsters or short boss trips where I’m optimizing pure DPS and I’ll be switching gear anyway, I’ll often prefer the mask. In short: slayer helmet for long, efficient tasking and utility; imbued black mask when pure melee punch and minimal fuss matter. Personally, I usually keep both available and switch based on the mood of the grind.
Alright, here's the simple, practical breakdown I use when my gear starts dying on me. In 'Old School RuneScape' your 'slayer helmet' will eventually degrade down to a broken state after it uses up its charges. Once it hits that broken state you can't just click a repair button and magically restore it like some other gear — the broken item is effectively spent.
What most players do (myself included) is replace it: either buy a fresh 'slayer helmet' off the Grand Exchange or craft a new one by combining a 'black mask' with the four slayer headgear pieces (the face mask, nose peg, spiny helm and earmuffs). Those components can be farmed, bought, or swapped for depending on your playstyle. If you want to reduce the hassle, keep a spare helmet in your bank, or consider looking into any imbue or reward options the game currently offers that affect degradation — they can change how often you need to replace it. I usually stock up on parts before a long slayer streak and it saves me from awkward breaks mid-task; feels way more chill that way.
Okay, quick and blunt: you can't imbue an onyx bracelet in Old School RuneScape because there simply isn't an 'imbued' version of that item in the game.
I get why people ask — imbuing is a familiar concept thanks to Nightmare Zone and the whole '(i)' suffix on rings and amulets. OSRS only allows imbues for a limited set of jewellery (mostly certain rings and amulets tied into Nightmare Zone rewards), and an onyx bracelet isn't one of them. If you were hoping to toss an onyx bracelet into some interface and get permanent boosted stats, that option doesn't exist right now.
If your goal is to get similar benefits, think about alternatives: craft the onyx bracelet normally (cut your onyx, use a gold bar at a furnace with a jewellery mould), buy a comparable worthwhile imbued ring or amulet from the Grand Exchange, or use other high-end gear that fills the same niche. And if you want to be 100% sure, the OSRS Wiki is your friend — it lists every item that has an '(i)' variant. Happy hunting!
