Ancient Mace: What Does It Mean in OSRS?

The Ancient mace is a unique weapon in Old School RuneScape, known for its special attack that has a distinct impact on gameplay, especially in Player versus Player (PvP) scenarios.

Acquisition

The Ancient mace is obtained as a reward from the Another Slice of H.A.M. quest. Players must complete this quest, which involves a series of tasks and challenges, to receive the mace.

  • Players must have completed the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest as a prerequisite.
  • It requires level 5 Attack to wield.

Special Attack: Favour of the War God

The Ancient mace's special attack, Favour of the War God, is a unique ability that drains the opponent's prayer points and adds them to the user's prayer. This makes the Ancient mace particularly useful in situations where maintaining prayer is crucial.

  • The special attack consumes 100% of the special attack energy.
  • It is effective in scenarios where disabling an opponent's prayer can turn the tide of battle.
  • Players often use it in combination with other prayer-boosting strategies for maximum efficiency.

Combat Use

While not the most powerful weapon in terms of raw damage, the Ancient mace's ability to manipulate prayer points makes it a strategic choice in PvP and PvM (Player versus Monster) settings.

  1. In PvP, players can use it to gain an advantage by depleting an opponent's prayer, potentially leaving them vulnerable.
  2. In PvM, it can be used to sustain prayer levels during extended combat situations, especially when facing prayer-draining enemies.

Overall, the Ancient mace serves as a valuable tool in the arsenal of any player who wishes to leverage prayer mechanics to their advantage in Old School RuneScape.
