Examine	A lethal scythe, made from spider parts. It needs repair.

The noxious scythe is a level 90 two-handed melee weapon that can be created at level 90 Crafting by combining a spider leg with Araxxi's fang, both of which are obtained by fighting Araxxor and Araxxi. It is currently the second most powerful two-handed melee weapon outside of Daemonheim, only surpassed by the Zaros godsword. It has the same attack range and mechanics as a halberd.

The scythe will degrade to a broken state after 60,000 charges of combat (but loses 2 charges per hit, so has a minimum duration of 5 hours of combat). It can be fixed by Repair NPCs such as Bob in Lumbridge, or at an armour stand in a player-owned house. A full repair, without discounts, costs 4,500,000 coins.

Creating a noxious scythe by buying a spider leg yields a profit of 68,806,110 coins.

During Dishonour among Thieves, the player apparition can wield a noxious scythe during the first phase.

The noxious scythe may be augmented using the Invention skill.

Repair cost

The base repair cost of the Noxious scythe when completely degraded to 0.0% item charge is 4,500,000 coins. It can be repaired by:

• Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
• Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
• Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
• Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost

Alternatively, it can be repaired on an armour stand in a player-owned house, or a whetstone device anywhere. This provides a discount of 0.5% per Smithing level (including boosts).

If it is only partially degraded, then the cost of a full repair is multiplied by the percentage of item charge that needs to be repaired to produce the current repair cost.

Special Attack

A player performing the Mirrorback special attack with the Noxious Staff equipped

The Noxious scythe has a special attack named Mirrorback, which requires full adrenaline and will summon a mirrorback spider to aid the player. While active, the spider will reduce damage from attacks against the player by 50%, and reflect that damage to the attacker, but it will also be damaged for an equal amount. For instance, if the player is hit by an attack that deals 1000 damage, both the player and the spider take 500 damage, and the attacker receives 500 points of deflection damage. This will last for ten seconds or until the spider loses all 10,000 of its life points, whichever comes first. This special attack does not work against certain attacks, and also cannot deflect damage back to attackers that are immune to deflection damage.

	Zaros godsword	92	1,014,827,801	2056 / 2577 (92)	Has a special attack, Blackhole, which summons a black hole over the player's location for 20 seconds. While this black hole is active, melee damage is increased by 25%, and if your target enters the black hole, it takes 25-50% ability damage every 1.8 seconds. This costs 50% adrenaline and has a 60-second cooldown that is not shared with Berserk. Has an attack range of 1, which is less than the Noxious scythe Degrades: has 60,000 charges of combat, and costs 4,800,000 coins to repair via a Repair NPC, or discounted at an armour stand
	Noxious scythe	90	227,048,518	2011 / 2458 (90)	Has a special attack, Mirrorback, that summons a mirrorback spider which reduces and reflects damage for ten seconds Has a two square range; AoE abilities like Hurricane deal damage in a 5x5 area Degrades: has 60,000 charges of combat, and costs 4,500,000 coins to repair via a Repair NPC, or discounted at an armour stand

	Annihilation	87	34,261,936	1944 / 2287 (87)	Has a special attack, Gravitate, which uses 60% adrenaline. When used, for 30 seconds all successful attacks on your opponent(s) adds a stack (one stack per ability, or two stacks per Legacy Mode auto-attack), which increases your damage by 1% per stack (capping at 20%). The effect resets the timer and stacks if you use the special attack twice before 30 seconds, and the effect and stacks are cleared at the end of the 30 seconds, when an attack misses, or if you switch out your weapon. Degrades: has 60,000 charges of combat, and costs 4,500,000 coins to repair via a Repair NPC, or discounted at an armour stand

Trivia

• Even though the item has a broken inventory sprite, when dropped, it will still look the same as if it was not broken.
• From its release date to the release of Raids (and two-handed weapon changes), the scythe's range was changed from normal melee distance to that of a halberd.
