Abyssal whip

The abyssal whip is a powerful one-handed melee weapon which requires an Attack level of 70 to wield. The whip is among the most powerful and popular non-degradable melee weapons and is capable of attacking at the same speed of daggers and scimitars at 2.4 seconds per hit.

It is obtained as a 1/512 drop from abyssal demons, which requires a Slayer level of 85 to harm. In addition, there is a 12/128 chance for it to be obtained from using the unsired, dropped by the abyssal sire, on the Font of Consumption.

The abyssal whip possesses a special attack, Energy Drain, which consumes 50% of the special attack bar, and then transfers 10% of the target's run energy to the user.

Players can attach a kraken tentacle to the abyssal whip to create an abyssal tentacle, which has a +8 higher slash and +4 higher strength bonus, equating to 1 higher damage. This process, however, will cause the whip to be consumed, and cannot be undone. Once the abyssal tentacle consumes all of its charges, the player will be refunded the kraken tentacle.

Players can use either a volcanic or frozen whip mix, obtained from the Bounty Hunter Store, to cosmetically enhance the abyssal whip, creating a volcanic abyssal whip or a frozen abyssal whip, respectively. This only alters its appearance, and becomes untradeable. It can be reverted by using a cleaning cloth on the whip, but the mixes will not be retained.

For comparison: the Dragon scimitar offers a 66 strength bonus and 67 slash accuracy.
