Saradomin godsword



Saradomin Godsword is one of the Godswords. It is created by adding the Saradomin hilt to a completed Godsword blade. This weapon is rather rare as players must have level 70 Agility to enter the Saradomin Encampment in the God Wars Dungeon, where Commander Zilyana drops the hilt.

It has a Special attack, Healing Blade: half of the dealt damage the sword does in a hit is restored to the player's Hitpoints and a quarter of the damage is restored to the player's Prayer. The sword's special attack must hit to have effect, a miss does nothing. However, any hit, even for 0 damage, has a MINIMUM restoration of 10 Hitpoints and 5 Prayer. In other words, the player will always get healed on a special even if no damage is dealt. (Note that is it possible to hit but do 0 damage, since when you hit the monster, you hit randomly between 0 to your maximum hit.)

The sword's special effect is is based on the full potential damage of the hit, even if the monster actually only a few points of damage, because it is low on hit points. This "bonus" is not always noticed, since the combat splotch only shows damage equal to the monster's remaining hit points, rather than the full potential damage of the hit.
 * Example: A monster has only 10 hit points remaining. A player hits it using the special attack, and the attack would do 40 points of damage. The monster takes 10 points of damage and dies. The player, however, gets the effect of a 40-point attack, with 20 hit points and 10 prayer points being restored.

This sword is highly recommended for training Slayer using melee, as its special can save the player plenty of food over time, and for this reason it is recommended as the most useful Godsword for PvE (Player vs environment). The Saradomin Godsword's special is superior to the ability of a full Guthan's set, because it only takes up one inventory space instead of four. Plus, the Godsword doesn't degrade over time, unlike Guthan's.

Other recommended uses for the Saradomin godsword are:
 * Bounty Hunter
 * Training
 * Slayer, especially when fighting Waterfiends
 * Hunting the Chaos Elemental and using the sword's specials on a wolf or rogue nearby for health and prayer restoring
 * Hunting the Kalphite Queen and using the sword's specials on a Kalphite worker nearby
 * God Wars Dungeon by healing on the sergeants in between fights with the generals, or using the special to restore prayer when camping on a Spiritual mage
 * Barrows, especially in the tunnels when a player may need some health and prayer.
 * Using a combination of Saradomin godsword specials with the Guthan set effect while having a Bunyip summoned, Regen bracelet on, and the prayers Rapid Heal and Piety while having drunk Super strength potion and Super attack potion (to increase chances of hitting higher and more accurately with Saradomin godsword and Guthan) on will save a lot of food over time.
