The Enhanced Excalibur is an upgraded version of Excalibur and can be obtained after completing the Seers' Village Diary. The Lady of the Lake will enhance Excalibur after completing the hard portion of the Seers' Village Diary and wearing the Seers' headband 3. Enhanced Excalibur's stats are comparable to that of a rune longsword, and it has an enhanced special attack that, in addition to a better boost in defence (15%)*, heals the player 4 hp every 2 seconds for 10 seconds for a total of 20 hp. This uses up 100% of the special attack bar.
Once enhanced, it can no longer be mounted onto the wall in a player's Quest Hall.
Uses for the special attack
- Healing at the bank when hitpoints are low.
- Healing when training Thieving or Agility.
- Healing when training Ranged or Magic (E.g Aviansies) .
- Defence boost in combat minigames like Soul Wars (especially when using Ranged or Magic)
- Healing during the Fight Caves while giving a Defence bonus.
- Healing during trips to the Abyss.
- Healing when doing Phoenix Lair.
- Healing when doing long trips at Barrows.
- Camping at certain areas without having to bank for food.
- Replacement for defence potions and food during Slayer tasks or when training combat.
- Healing when in Barbarian Assault, can be used when healers are occupied elsewhere.
- Healing when fighting Turoths and Kurasks, seeing as the weapons required to kill them do not use Special Attack energy.
- Healing while fighting Kree'arra as most range or magic weapons commonly used to kill him do not use Special Attack energy.
NOTE: If you happen to log out during the special's effect, the special will NOT continue healing you after you log in again. However, the effect will continue if you switch weapons.
Like poison damage, the effect will stop when a player is banking, and continue immediately when the bank is closed.

Trivia
- After the Game Engine update of 2 September 2009, the special attack didn't activate until you attacked something. This was fixed later the same day.
- The special attack can be used while resting - the player will stand to perform the special attack emote, but resume sitting afterward.
- Some players have reported a glitch where the Enhanced Excalibur will perform its special attack randomly. The sword would remain within their inventory and will perform the special attack, but without the player having to click on Special Attack. This sword does not have a right-click option in the inventory menu to activate its special.
- Multiple Enhanced Excaliburs may be obtained. If a player possesses multiple Excaliburs and takes them to the Lady of the Lake to be enhanced after completion of Seers' Diary 3, they will all be upgraded. Similarly, a player may buy a new Excalibur if he/she loses destroys it and choose between having the original or enhanced version(note that the player must have no enhanced version to buy more). By choosing originals, dropping them to buy the desired amount and picking them all up, a player can talk to the Lady of the Lake while wearing the Seers' headband 3 and have all Excaliburs enhanced.
