Turmoil



Turmoil is an Ancient Curse unlocked after The Temple at Senntisten. Ancient Curses are used in the same way as normal prayers, except players must pray at the altar beneath the Digsite to be able to activate it. When activated, this curse provides a base increase of 15% to Attack and Defence and a 23% increase to Strength. As a bonus it also adds (to the player who activated the prayer) 15% of their opponent's Attack, 15% of their Defence and 10% of their Strength.

It is an enhanced version of the Chivalry and Piety prayers in the normal prayer book.

Switching from Ancient Curses to normal prayers on the White Knights' Castle altar, while using Turmoil, is an elite Falador task.

Turmoil does not instantly give its maximum bonuses upon activation. Instead, after one attack, the opponent's levels are added to the curse's boost. This means that Turmoil cannot be flashed conventionally like Piety for maximum-damage hits with lower prayer drain.

Trivia

 * Turmoil is regarded by many players to be the best prayer.
 * There was a glitch for some players when it first came out where the maximum Defence was +31%.
 * In multicombat areas, Turmoil only applies against the highest levels of the monsters. In combat with players, the bonuses do not stack against groups of lower levelled enemies.
 * Turmoil is one of the few prayers to have an animation upon activation.
 * When the Ancient curses first came out, the knowledge base stated that Turmoil may not be active alongside a deflection curse, Wrath, or Soul Split. This is incorrect and has been fixed.
 * Turmoil's maximum possible bonuses when fighting a player is +30% attack, +33% strength, and +30% defence. +32% strength is shown, however +32.9% is the effective maximum boost since decimal places are not shown.
 * Turmoil is one of the most highly sought after prayers and has helped push up the price of dragon bones.
 * The only known NPC's to use Turmoil in combat are Nex, the leader of Zaros's forces in the God Wars Dungeon, and Kal'Ger the Warmonger a dungeoneering boss.
