Equilibrium aura

Equilibrium is an aura available as part of the Members Loyalty Programme and can be purchased from Xuan in Burthorpe, for 23,000 Membership Loyalty Points. This aura causes your successful hits in combat to have your maximum hit reduced by 25%, but also have your minimum hit increased by the same amount. It does not affect the rate at which you successfully hit. It does NOT mean that you will never hit a zero. It ony increases the minimum HIT (meaning that "blocked" attacks are not effected.) so keep this in mind.

It is activated for two hours and has a cooldown time of four hours. Also, as with all auras, if the account using it is logged out while the aura is activated, the timer will continue to run out.

One benefit to using this aura is that it slightly increases the speed at which a monster is slain. By reducing the player's maximum hit without affecting their average damage per hit, less damage will be "wasted" when a hit is greater than the monster's remaining life points. This effect is most prominent against monsters with low health, while being almost negligible against tougher enemies such as bosses. In addition, slow but hard hitting weapons benefit more from this fact than faster, weaker weapons.

This aura is most useful when training combat on any monster that you can regularly kill in three hits or less, because on the last hit of the fight you will most likely waste a lot of damage, (e.g hitting a 200 when the monster only has 75 life points left)

It is also possible, but not proven, that you may use the aura in conjunction with special attacks that always hit, such as that of Korasi's Sword, to increase the minimum hit by a large amount. Since these specials often hit the lowest amount, this may be an effective method, especially on high-defence monsters such as the Corporeal Beast and other bosses, to kill faster by maximizing the special.

Originally, the aura did not work correctly with the Dark Bow. This has since been patched.
