Sumona is a non-player character found in the north of Pollnivneach, in a house south-east of the Magic carpet transport spot. Talk to Sumona to begin the Smoking Kills quest. She won't talk to you if you have a cat out.

After players complete the quest, Sumona became a new Slayer master. She also explains about the Slayer reward points obtained for each slayer assignment completed.

Slayer pointsEdit

Players can receive Slayer reward points for completing slayer tasks, this is based on how many tasks players have accomplished in a row. Completion of a task assigned by Sumona will grant you:

• 12 slayer points per normal task
• 60 for every 10th
• 180 for every 50th

This means that if using Sumona over the long term, an average of 19.2 points will be granted per task.

AssignmentsEdit

The following are all the possible assignments a player can receive from Sumona:

NOTE: Slayer masters assign higher-levelled monsters more frequently if the player's combat level is high.

Slayer Challenge Edit

After a player has performed several slayer tasks for Sumona, she will occasionally offer a special task in place of a regular slayer task. The player can decline to take the special task without penalty. If the player accepts the special task, completing the task:

• Earns 15,000 slayer experience.
• Earns 30 Slayer reward points.
• Counts as a task for the player's consecutive task count, thus 12 slayer reward points are received, giving a total of 42 points.
• Depending on your task count, you can get more points. If this is your 10th task, you will receive 90 slayer reward points. If this is your 50th task, you will receive 220 slayer reward points.

Sumona's special task is for the player to slay the Kalphite Queen. The queen is very hard to kill solo, and players on this task can be assisted by another player. However, the player is only credited with completing the task if the player causes the majority of the damage to the queen, and also Coinshare/Lootshare MUST be turned OFF. Note: The Slayer helmet does not seem to work for the queen's second form.

Smoking KillsEdit

In Smoking Kills, Sumona tells you that her sister, Jesmona, has been caught by a monster and trapped under the well in the centre of the Pollnivneach. However, after the Smoking Kills quest, players learn that there is no such person called Jesmona, and that Sumona and Jesmona are one and the same. This is revealed by Catolax in the Desert Slayer Dungeon, after the quest in the final cutscene. He further explains that Sumona, in fact, is Amascut in disguise, the Devourer. However, due to the fact that during the quest Amascut promised the player a reward, she is forced to act as a new slayer master after the quest is complete.

Trivia Edit

• On the interface for NPC Contact, her skin is lighter and her hair is blonde.
