Armadyl godsword

The Armadyl godsword is one of the four Godswords. Like all godswords, it requires level 75 Attack to wield. It has a special attack called The Judgment which inflicts 25% more damage with a 50% Special bar drain. The Armadyl godsword is considered to be the strongest weapon in the game. Under the right conditions and using all the best Strength equipment, a player can hit up to 80 with its special attack. A player can hit 92 whilst wearing the Castlewars bracelet using the sword's special attack. This weapon's main competition comes from the Dragon Claws which have a similar hard-hitting special attack. The Godsword is created by Smithing together the three Godsword shards (80 Smithing or higher is required to do this) and putting an Armadyl hilt onto the end (no requirements) creating the wieldable Godsword.

On 15 July, 2009 Jagex introduced an update to PVP Worlds and Bounty Hunter Worlds in which player were automatically skulled on entering the world and the Protect Item prayer was disabled on these worlds. The Armadyl Godsword, a popular item used by one itemers started to see a rapid drop in price along with other itemer weapons such as Dragon Claws and the Saradomin Sword. The Armadyl Godsword suffered a 4.1 million gold loss the day after the update though several players in World 2 could be found selling them for as low as 30 million gold plus junk items, and for 100% full junk in Falador worlds that were striking.

However, on 17 July, 2009 Jagex made another update introducing Bounty Worlds (+1 Item). Even though players are still unable to use protect from prayer these new +1 item worlds will allow everyone to always keep their most valuable item protected.
