Keenblade

Beta

The Keenblade is a reward for completing a part of the new members tutorial. It is a drop from the troll general killed during the Burthorpe tutorial and is a potential drop from a Troll commando. You can also obtain it as a drop from the Troll brutes in the western portion of the Troll cave north of Burthorpe during and after the Burthorpe tutorial miniquest. It has stats roughly between an Iron 2h sword and a Steel 2h sword. This item is useful for players with low Attack levels as there are no level requirements to wield it. The Keenblade used to be common KO weapon for low level player, because of the certain hit of 50 hitpoints with the special attack (before the Evolution of Combat).

Special attack
The Keenblade's special attack always deals 50 damage. It will always hit a 30 through Protect from Melee, and 25 through the Staff of Light special. The animation is the same as the Saradomin Godsword's but it does not restore life points or prayer points. Using the attack costs 75% of the special attack bar. This special attack no longer exists due to the Evolution of Combat.
