Trident of the seas

The Trident of the seas is a magical staff that requires 75 Magic to wield. It is the only staff, in game, to have a built in combat spell that attacks 20% faster than any other staff. Although the staff has a built-in magic attack, the trident cannot be used against other players in the Wilderness. It can only within the Castle Wars and TzHaar Fight Pit minigames, and the Clan Wars minigame (if the clan leaders enables it). The trident cannot be used to autocast any other combat spells.

Tridents are obtained as a rare slayer task drop from cave krakens or krakens with level 87 Slayer. An uncharged trident is dropped by the normal cave krakens, while the boss kraken can drop a fully charged trident. Similar to Barrows equipment, the trident is only tradeable when its either uncharged or fully charged.

The staff can hold up 2,500 charges when fully charged. Charging the staff requires 1 death rune, 1 chaos rune, 5 fire runes and 10 coins per cast. Both hands must be free in order to charge the weapon. Trident charges can be removed at anytime to recover the runes, however the coins will not be refunded.

Contrary to popular belief, the trident of the seas does NOT gain experience at an reduced rate. Unlike regular combat spells, the trident does not reward a base xp for each cast. Instead, players are rewarded experience for each point of damage dealt. The experience gained is 2 exp per damage dealt.

Maximum hit
The max hit dealt by the trident is dependent on the player's current Magic level. Stat-boost and magic damage bonuses will modify the max hit of the spell. At level 75 magic, the base damage is 20, this increases up to 28 at level 99 (29 if boosted). Likewise, stat-reductions will lower the damage, but the minimum max hit will never fall below 20; even if the player's Magic level is reduced below 75.

Trivia

 * The trident of the seas is the Oldschool Runescape equivalent to the Polypore staff from the live game.
