Salamander

Salamanders are versatile, two handed magic, melee, or ranged weapons that facilitate the training of the Ranged, Magic and/or Strength. Unlike other range and magic weapons they can only attack creatures or players in the next square, but they can attack over fences and similar barriers even in melee mode. Salamanders may be obtained through net trapping and must be fuelled using a variety of herb-tars made with the Herblore skill. They assume the affiliation of the Combat triangle with what the player trains (i.e. If players use mage training then it works well on high level melee, strength training on rangers and range training on mages.) Many people have found Black Salamanders to be very effective at Barrows. Since it uses the 3 attack styles of the combat triangle, it can be used effectively to attack the 6 brothers.

Oddly, none of the salamanders offer any magic bonuses.

Attack style will increase selected skill experience.
