Abyssal whip

The Abyssal Whip is considered to be one of the best melee weapons in RuneScape, being surpassed only by weapons in the Barrows sets. It has the same attacking speed as the Dagger or Scimitar, and a much higher attack bonus of 82 to Slash and to Strength. However, it requires 70 attack to wield, is expensive and cannot train the Strength skill other than by using a Controlled method, training at only one third of the speed.
