Vesta's longsword

Beta

Vesta's longsword is the second strongest longsword in the game, beaten only by the chaotic longsword, yet is able to hit almost as high and frequently as the chaotic longsword obtained from Dungeoneering. It is obtained by killing Revenants in the Forinthry Dungeon or the Chaos Elemental in very deep Wilderness and is considered the best drop possible from said foes. This piece of weaponry was released with the release of PvP worlds on 15 October 2008.

The corrupt version requires 20 Attack and lasts for 15 minutes equipped, while the normal version requires 78 Attack and lasts for an hour of combat. After the time is up, the longsword will vanish. The time restrictions are the same in Wilderness PvP and other combat situations.

Contrary to popular belief, this item does not degrade while using non-combat magic.

It is currently one of the best weapons available in RuneScape. This is because its speed makes it a fast alternative to the godsword. However, this weapon is extremely expensive considering its short time-limit.

Vesta's longsword is a one-handed weapon, and thus a shield can be used with it. After the sword has been used in combat it will become untradeable.

It is often used by wealthy player killers and duellists as a KO weapon. This is because it has the potential to hit well above 700 and has a fast attack speed.


 * As an hour contains 6000 ticks and the sword hits once per 5 ticks, you are able to hit 1200 hits with this sword before it degrades. Thus, each hit costs approximately 0 coins when using this sword.

Trivia

 * This sword has now become almost literally useless since the Evolution of combat. The special attack no longer exists, and since it degrades in one hour and costs such a high price, it is not valued by most of the player base.
 * Vesta's longsword resembles the Roman longsword known as the Spatha.
 * Vesta is the Roman goddess of the hearth, home, and family.
 * Currently, when using an aura, two swords are visible, the longsword itself and the glow made by the aura.
 * The Vesta's longsword fell in price due to the More Loot = More W00t! that was part of the ClusterFlutterer celebration, and because of the double loot drop during one of the Mad May weekends.
 * Thok uses the Vesta's longsword's special attack in the Fremennik Saga, Thok It To 'Em.
 * The audio used for the Vesta's longsword's special attack is the same as used with the Dragon Longsword
