Gravite rapier

Beta



The Gravite rapier is a melee weapon released with the Dungeoneering update, on 12 April 2010. It is currently the third strongest free-to-play stab weapon, behind the Corrupt dragon dagger and the Corrupt dragon spear. It requires levels 45 Attack and 45 Dungeoneering to wield.

This item cannot be made by the Smithing skill. It can only be bought as a Dungeoneering reward, costing 40,000 tokens. Realistically, one would need to achieve at least level 64 Dungeoneering before one can accumulate enough tokens to purchase the rapier.

This weapon has higher damage bonus compared to rune scimtar,but very low accuracy.Hence it is recommended to buy a gravite longsword instead,as the longsword has high damage and accuracy stats.

Repair costs
When first bought, the weapon is 20% charged. Repair costs come in 1% increments; you can repair them whenever there's at least 1% charge missing.
 * 100% charged (Fully charged) – no cost.
 * 99% charged – 10,000 coins or 1,000 coins and 65 tokens.
 * 90% charged – 100,000 coins or 10,000 coins and 650 tokens.
 * 20% charged (After buying) – 800,000 coins or 80,000 coins and 5,200 tokens
 * 0% charged (No charge) – 1,000,000 coins or 100,000 coins and 6,500 tokens.

Degrading
The Gravite rapier is special compared to its other gravite counterparts. While it is true for the ever popular free-to-play weapon, the Gravite 2h sword, to degrade after 10 hours of combat, it isn't exactly true for the rapier. In a multicombat situation, the rapier may degrade faster, as dungeoneering weapons degrade for every hit dealt and received (by receiving more hits, the weapon degrades faster). However, in a 1v1 situation, which the rapier is commonly used for, the rapier is able to last slightly over 15 hours of continual combat, degrading 1% every ~10 minutes. Therefore, the cost for the maintenance of the rapier is greatly reduced.

Trivia

 * The Gravite rapier used to cost 90,000 Dungeoneering tokens before the 21 April 2010 update.
 * This weapon was a very popular weapon before eoc,because of its stab bonuses.
