112 strength?
Please check the strength bonus.

Uh, does this really only weigh zero? It might show up as zero, but actually be a half or two thirds or something; the game doesn't show fractions of a kilo. the way to find out for sure would be to get several, and see how many you have to carry before it shows as one kilogram. But who could be rich enough to would buy several abbysal whips just to see how much they weigh? Or, wait, you could take several of a different, common, lightweight item where you already know the weight, then add and subtract them from the inventory and keep looking at your weight and extrapolate from that like some sort of algebra problem like if you have n of the item you know the weight of, then

$$i \approx ( nk ) + A_W$$

where

$$A_W = abbysal whip weight$$

$$i=inventory weight$$

$$k = known item weight$$

 * I'm pretty sure it's 0 kg. Even with other things that weight 0 kg, I still weighed 0 kg, so I don't think they use decimal values.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 17:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Clean up
Can someone clean this up...My brain is sore just looking at it

Please look out for scams, as scammers will usually say Buying Abyssal whip for 1.8mil+ while having a friend buying a warrior ring or even a seers' ring (which is worth the same of warrior ring - 500k) for 2mil nearby. And when you trade the player buying the whip for "1.8mil+" he will offer the Warrior or Seer's ring Atlandy 22:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * This is a universal scam, not unique to the abyssal whip. I propose a link to the scam page from the whip page, but not an entire paragraph detailing only one type of scam. Editing now. Chissey 07:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems better now. 08:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Its totally gone, with no free trade. Im taking the scamming part out of the page. 23:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Triva section - Graphic update bit
It says that the whip didnt get a new animation Well after the 3 updates runescape has had today (29th July 2008), one of them updated it. Should someone take out the old section or keep it? --Lmc169 17:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Needs a Close-up Image
The abyssal whip needs a close-up image of it. Somebody please take a screenshot of it in the equipment stats window.

Leave it to me, I just need someone to make the image transparent, if needed.P.S.: Please sign your messages by posting four tildes at the end of it.-- 23:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Strength?
"Using a Obsidian Splitsword combined with a Berserker necklace offers better Strength training than the Abyssal Whip." You can't train strength directly with a whip...72.45.121.108 14:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Good catch..fixed it for ya‎[[Image:Cooked_chicken.PNG‎]]Atlandy 14:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just reading this but 1) technicly the statement is true and 2) is it possible that it refered to str bounus?

Animations
Doesn't the Images and Media Policy say that an article can only have two animations max? This article has three. -- 14:30, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes that's true. The animation of the person just wearing it needs to be deleted and replaced with a still image. I uploaded one here, but it got deleted for some reason. If you could upload one I could add transparency to it for you. 19:24, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Special attack
I think that it is better if information on the special attack has its own heading. It would have the animation of the special attack and informaiton about it. It would make the first section less of a run on and help people find what they want quicker. --. 21:34, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Whip goes up
It says that it is because of the new animations, the new look and merchers...I strongly doupt that. I'd say inflation since it rose at about the same spead than bandos armour, the saradomin sword and various godswords... --Jonaboy 00:45, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Case in opening paragraph
What's the standard for using capital letters in links? I see that it uses a link to the word "Strength" twice, once with a capital once without. Croutonicus 23:03, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the standard is to use capitalisation as found in the article name (which is normally the capitalisation ingame as well), unless it somehow makes sense to not use the original article name in th visible link text. But dont quote me on that. The capitalied instance refers to Strength, which is the name of a skill. The other one is simply saying that the whip has a higher strength bonus. PS: How is the fourth/fifth pargraph the opening paragraph? o.O --The ledgend 07:08, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

the 'trivia' and a unnecessary information
just like every other day, prices go up and down on items.

on 'abyssal whip' trivia, it said "whips were hard to buy on the day of release of colored whips".

im pretty sure its same with all items; but this is just unnecessary, as there is no significant change in the street value or real value - even now, whips are much easier to get. for example I got mine after 2 hours of waiting today from the GE.
