Slime Incubator

The Slime Incubator is a piece of equipment used to hatch Slime Eggs into actual Slimes. The crafting recipe is unlocked at Combat Level 8. One Slime Incubator comes with each Slime Hutch, and it can be moved after placement. The Bookseller can also trade for one if the player has already earned the power from the related book, exchanging 1 Slime Incubator for 2 Monster Compendiums.

A Slime Egg placed in a Slime Incubator will eventually hatch into a Slime. If the incubator finishes processing during the day, the Slime appears the next morning. The Coopmaster Profession halves the incubation time, but Fairy Dust does not work on Slime Incubators.

Because the Slime Incubator can be placed anywhere, Slimes can be hatched in any indoor or outdoor location. This makes it possible to build Slime populations outside the Slime Hutch, which normally has a limit of 20 Slimes. In other areas there is no such cap.

• If the Slime Hutch is full, a Slime egg will not hatch there until an existing Slime is killed to free space.
• Moving the incubator lets players set up slime breeding in more convenient locations.
• The item is most useful for players who want to mass-produce Slimes or keep them away from the Hutch’s population limit.
