Granite mace

The Granite mace is a weapon that was released along with The Chosen Commander quest on March 17, 2009. It is a drop from Goblin statues, Ork statues, Ogre statues, and Ourg statues in Bandos' throne room. Players may use the granite mace to keep themselves safe from Bandos followers (but not from the bosses) in the God Wars Dungeon. Level 50 Strength and Attack are required to wield this weapon. The mace is held upright in the hand, similar to the holding position of the Dragon longsword.

Its special attack is the same as the Granite Maul's special attack. The special uses 50% of the special bar and allows the player to attack instantly. As with the Granite maul, players can have good timing and hit four times in quick succession (first normal hit, special, special, second normal hit). Its animation is similar to that of the Ancient Mace, where the player swings it down then overhead onto the enemy. If the special attack is selected before entering combat a warning message is displayed explaining that the special attack is instant and will be wasted if used on the first strike.

As this is a new item, many players do junk trading to sell the item for prices greater than the Grand Exchange price. The current price range for this item, on world 2, is 150,000 coins to 500,000 coins. Players should also be VERY CAREFUL when buying because of scammers. They put up a Granite Mace with enough junk to trade for less than street price.

The mace gives a stab attack bonus, however it is unable to use a stab-based attack.

The Granite mace looks very much like the ancient mace found in the Another Slice of H.A.M. quest. Both were used by Bandos's favorite warriors in combat during the God Wars.

The drop rate of the Granite mace seems to be surprisingly high, comparable somewhat to that of dragon boots. Thus it is not uncommon to receive multiple drops in a single trip. It is actually possible to receive a Granite mace from one of the three statues fought during the final battle in The Chosen Commander quest, although the chances are slim.

It is notable that players may remain for prolonged periods by way of healing over time techniques. It is a great advantage for higher level players to utilize such tactics as the majority of the statues within the Bandos' throne room do little damage. Some widely practiced methods include but are not limited to the use of;
 * (Saradomin godsword, Guthan's set, Bunyip familiars, and regen bracelets to name a few)

It is one of the three current weapons on runescape that can hit up to 3 times nearly instantaneously, the other two being a Granite Maul and Dragon Claws. (It may hit up to 3 times in one hit the player clicks fast over a half a second ( 0.30 ) period of time.

The granite mace looks a little bit like lord Sauron's in the Lord of the Rings.
