The negatives of chaotic weapons

With the release of Dungeoneering, a new batch of items was introduced to Runescape. However, the three most popular items include Chaotic Rapier, Chaotic Longsword, and Chaotic Maul. These three new weapons added a whole new twist to the combat system. They are all very powerful. The rapier hits at the same speed as a whip, but with 100-200 more damage. The long sword too, a bit slower than a whip, can hit 450-550s with ease. And finally, the chaotic maul can hit over 700, with the same speed as a god sword.

By now you may be wondering how the title of this post comes into play. Everything mentioned about chaotic so far is positive. Here’s the twist. Being as powerful as they are, chaotic weapons degrade. The cost to reload a chaotic weapon is 2,000,000 (2M) gp. Each chaotic weapon lasts a full ten hours of combat before needing to be recharged. However, the system reduces the combat timer, so the actual use you get from the chaotic weapon tends to be over 20 hours or more.

Another negative aspect of chaotic weapons is their alchemy value. Runescape’s “save-on-death” system works by placing the items you carry in order from highest to lowest alch, and keeping the highest three (if you have a skull, just the highest) upon death. The chaotic rapier, long sword, and mallet have an alch value of 130,000 (130k). This means that it is at the end of the items that are kept on the deceased list. Items like PvP statues, whips, dragon claws, barrow armor, and divine swords protect your precious chaotic item. It seems that to balance the chaotic weapon, they had to increase the risk of using it.

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t check the ‘items saved in death’ screen before playing with my new chaotic rapier. Although if I had ticked ‘items saved on death’, surely I would have realized that Torag’s Platebody has a higher alch value than Chaotic Rapier, which means it would protect over the rapier. I guess my loss is your gain (feel free to laugh).
