Saradomin godsword

''Not to be confused with Saradomin sword. For the version won on Treasure Hunter, see lucky Saradomin godsword.''

The Saradomin godsword is one of the four legendary godswords that was fought over during the God Wars. Requiring 75 Attack to wield, it is created by attaching a Saradomin hilt to a completed godsword blade, which has no requirements and can be done by any player.

The Saradomin godsword used to be the most useful of the four fabled Godswords, with its ability to regenerate lifepoints and prayer making it a prized possession on Slayer tasks and even bosses.

Special Attack
The Saradomin godsword has a passive effect that had a 25% chance to restore 3% life points and 3% prayer points with each hit. This ability occured regardless of whether or not the damage dealt was from autoattacks or abilities. Therefore, the passive ability would have activated most often when the sword is used to deliver multiple hits, such as with Dismember and Slaughter, as well as any of the two-handed melee abilities that hit multiple targets, such as Hurricane and Quake.

This effect was quite powerful, needing merely 14 activations (or on average, 56 hits) to surpass healing provided by the Rejuvenate ability (56 fitting comfortably within a space of 5 minutes in most combat situations). Its prayer restoration was also capable of restoring up to about 18% prayer per minute if assuming the player used abilities continuously. It is therefore interesting to note that unlike the other godswords, the Saradomin godsword's post-EoC passive effect actually (vastly) surpassed its pre-EoC special attack in terms of healing (and prayer restoration). It even surpassed the Rejuvenate ability, which is a more powerful version of the old Enhanced Excalibur special, which in turn was commonly regarded as superior in terms of healing compared to the Saradomin godsword's special.
