Ivandis flail



The Ivandis flail is a two-handed weapon created by the player during the Legacy of Seergaze quest, from a Silvthril chain, Silver sickle(b), the Rod of Ivandis, and an emerald.

Players with the above four components and a chisel in their inventory may construct one after reaching a certain point in the quest. Players should first use the emerald with the Silver sickle (b), granting 20 crafting experience; then cast Enchant Level 2 Jewellery on the sickle; and finally use the sickle with the Silvthril chain, granting a further 20 crafting experience.

See below for detailed instructions.

Using the flail
This flail is the only weapon available with which to kill the Vyrewatch, as it contains silver, which harms vampyres. But a silver weapon alone cannot injure the Vyrewatch, because they have sufficient mind-reading ability to predict attacks and to avoid damage. Because the Ivandis flail is a hard weapon to master, it is incredibly unpredictable. The sickle head increases the unpredictability of the weapon. Attackers do not hit the Vyrewatch in the intended way, rendering their mind-reading useless.

The Rod of Ivandis, used to construct this weapon, retains its holding abilities on all Vampyres (Vampyre juvinates and Vyrewatch) with the enchanted emerald in the silver sickle giving it 20 additional charges for a total of 30 charges. When all charges have been used, the flail decays into Flail dust. Because it is not necessary to use any charges to kill Vyrewatch, players may find it more convenient not to use any, avoiding the process involved in creating more weapons.

The flail can also Cast Bloom the same as a Silver sickle (b). This multiplicity of use lets a player kill Ghasts, Vampyre juvinates, and Vyrewatch with a single weapon.

Note: Despite the fact that the flail can hit flying Vyrewatch, it cannot hit Aviansies, which are always in flight. Also, for an unknown reason, it is not allowed in the Fist of Guthix arena.

Increasing bonuses


On the official RuneScape forums, a Jagex Moderator pointed out that continuous use of the flail on the Vyrewatch "improves" players' ability every 50 Vyrewatch kills and cremations. After every 50 Vyrewatch corpses are cremated, the player receives a message in the chat box that reads, "You feel more experienced with the Ivandis Flail."

Each increment rewards the player with an additional "invisible" equipment bonus of +5 in attack, strength, and defence to the flail when used against Vyrewatch. This increase does not change the information in the "Show Equipment Stats" panel when equipped. The flail gains its maximum bonuses after 500 vyre corpses have been cremated. This miniquest is a requirement for the trimmed version of the Completionist cape. The result is the following bonuses:

Attack bonuses:


 * +66 Slash


 * +61 Crush


 * +56 Magic


 * +76 strength bonus

Defence bonuses:


 * +52 Stab defence


 * +53 Slash defence


 * +51 Crush defence


 * +56 Magic defence

The defense bonuses make up for the weapon being two-handed. Players can check how many corpses they have cremated at the lectern to the south of the columbarium.

Note: The maximum damage that can be done to Vyrewatch is 250, regardless of prayers or other strength boosts. This makes it the strongest silver weapon in the game.
