Changes: Kraken tentacle

Revision as of 22:27, 23 March 2017

Attaching kraken tentacle — A player attaches a kraken tentacle to an abyssal whip.

The kraken tentacle is an item found by killing cave krakens and their boss variants, krakens, in the Stronghold Slayer Cave. When attached to an abyssal whip, it creates the abyssal tentacle, an upgraded version of the whip that requires level 75 Attack to wield.

A minimum of level 87 Slayer is required if one wishes to obtain it as a drop. Due to the volatile nature of the tentacle, it will consume the whip component after one has dealt 10,000 hits with it, leaving them with only the kraken tentacle.

When using the items on each other there will be a warning message that states The tentacle will gradually consume your whip and destroy it. You won't be able to get the whip out again. The combined item is not tradeable.

The buy limit for the kraken tentacle is 70 every 4 hours.

Trivia

The kraken tentacle functions similarly to RuneScape 3's wyrm spike, another high-level Slayer monster drop which is used to create an upgraded version of the abyssal whip, the lava whip. Similarly to the tentacle, the lava whip is degradable and can be charged by adding more whips.
