Penance master trident

The Penance master trident is a staff from Barbarian Assault. It is a members only item. It requires 70 Magic and Attack to wield and is 2-handed. This weapon is an upgraded version of the regular Penance trident. The Penance trident can be bought with 170 Barbarian Assault reward points in every role. If the player has 70 Attack, they can upgrade their trident for an additional 220 reward points (a total of 390) into a master trident, which has better attack stats than the normal trident.

When wielded, it will attempt to 'save' runes used in any spell. This is how it does so:


 * The trident finds out how many different rune types you are using for your spell.
 * For each rune type the trident makes a 1 in 60 roll.
 * If successful it will save all runes of that type.

So for example, the spell Earth blast requires 3 air runes and 3 earth runes; there is a 1 in 60 chance that once cast, your penance trident will save either 3 air runes or 3 earth runes. The Penance trident cannot save only some of the runes of any rune type, it will either save none or all of any rune type.

Note: the master trident has the same special rune saving ability as a normal penance trident.

Trivia

 * Despite being a trident, the master penance trident is considered a staff.
 * Even though this weapon's magic bonus exceeds that of the Ancient staff by 2, many people prefer to use the Ancient staff because of the 10% bonus damage, its relative ease to acquire, and the ability to equip an item in the shield slot.
 * The max recorded hit with the trident is 1050. This is possible by using the special attack on a Wall beast while it is at full health.
 * A trident is the weapon/symbol of the Greek/Roman mythological god Poseidon/Neptune.
 * If the special attack 'Reap' successfully hits one of the humans in Canifis (level 24) it will not kill the NPC as it will transform into a werewolf before the damage can take effect, but once it has transformed into a werewolf (level 88) the NPC will be hit 600 life points (the human form's LP level), hence not completely killing it. This may be a glitch.
 * The instant kill ability of the special attack does not work on players, as this would greatly unbalance certain aspects of PvP combat.
 * The popularity of this weapon has dropped since the release of the staff of light.
 * In the Dummies room in the Warrior's Guild in Burthorpe, this item is useful because it has a stab, slash, and crush, which use the Accurate, Aggressive, and Defensive styles respectively. This means with this single weapon, you can correctly hit all but the Controlled type of dummy.
 * The master penance trident, and the penance trident, before the Evolution of Combat, had a special attack called Reap, which gave a chance of instantly killing an enemy with a combat level less than 50 (not including players, bosses, summoning familiars, or creatures that must be killed in a specific way). In PvP, 'Reap' had the same chance of removing a third of the opponent's current lifepoints. The Reap special attack consumed 50% special attack energy. The special attack couldn't be attempted on NPCs above level 50. The chat box said "The Penance Trident only works on foes with a Combat Level less than 50." and no special attack energy wass drained.
