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 drop from the abyssal demon, which requires a Slayer level of 85 to harm, or by trading with another player.

The abyssal whip possesses a special attack, Energy Drain, which consumes 50% of the special attack bar.

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.

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