Saradomin sword

Beta

The Saradomin sword is a two-handed sword which can be obtained in the God Wars Dungeon - the sword is a possible drop from Commander Zilyana and her bodyguards in the Saradomin area. It requires 75 Attack to wield.

The Saradomin sword is the fastest two-handed sword in the game, attacking with a Fast speed as opposed to Average, the speed of most two-handed weapons. However, whilst its attack speed is higher than that of its companion weapons, the Saradomin sword's damage value is lower, to compensate.

As a level 75 attack two-handed melee weapon, it is comparable to the Zamorakian spear and to godswords, all of which are also two-handed and require 75 Attack. While the Zamorakian spear is a stab weapon, and godswords are slash weapons, the Saradomin sword is a slash weapon. Due to the EoC, the Saradomin sword's stats are somewhat similar to the Godswords' and cheaper then Bandos Godsword. The accuracy is the same but the Godsword wins by .8 on damage. As this sword is the fastest two-handed sword in Runescape, players soon are seeing the difference in stats and choosing this blade for it's cheap price, selling their godswords and keeping the money from this update.

The Saradomin sword's overall stats are the 8th best for a two-handed sword, surpassed by all four godswords, auspicious katana, gravite 2h sword and the dragon 2h sword.
