Golden hammer

The Golden hammer is a reward from using a golden cracker on another player. This item was released on 20 December 2010. It has no bonuses, and has two right click options for emotes: Brandish (2009) and Spin (2010). These are the years in which Jagex has won the Golden Joystick awards.

The hammer can be wielded and used to train Smithing by using it on bars, Construction and Crafting (to repair the Blast Furnace), which allows the player an additional inventory slot, since a regular Hammer cannot be wielded. The hammer can not be used at barbarian assault. It is a bonus because it can be wielded, and used as a weapon. While a regular hammer can not.

The golden hammer weighs 0.9 kg, which is 0.7 kg more than the Golden cracker it came from. This could be due to the fact it is much larger.

If a player loses their Golden Hammer it can be regained by speaking to Diango near Draynor Village.
