Golden hammer

The Golden hammer is a reward from using a golden cracker on another player. This item was released on 20 December 2010.

It has no bonuses, and has two right click options for emotes: Brandish (2009) and Spin (2010). These are the years in which Jagex has won the Golden Joystick awards.

The hammer can be wielded and used to train Smithing, Construction and Crafting (to repair the Blast Furnace), which allows the player an additional inventory slot, since a Hammer cannot be wielded.

Even though it has no bonuses, it can still be used for combat. It also attacks much faster than the Granite maul, Gadderhammer, Tzhaar-ket-om, and the Chaotic maul.

The golden hammer weighs 0.9 kg, which is 0.7 kg more than the Golden cracker it came from. This could be due to the fact it is much larger.



When the cracker is right-clicked "info" the following appears:
