But salve amulet only works on few monsters.

It is written in the tips at the end of the guide, but I agree with you it would be a good idea to put it there too.

Philip_kolar : Thanks for your post, but that comment about being 1 attack is already written.

He's a strength-based fighter like you, so you probably had about same stats. Also, do you remember what combat level you were approximately when killing this guy? It could be useful for my guide.

wachtwoord : I will be getting these very soon. Berserker's special effect does stack with the black mask, but it cannot be used with salve amulet since they both take the amulet space.

Thanks for this screenshot, I'll add it to my guide :. The funny thing is that I personally know who you had as a target ;)

Thanks for your post. I'll add your tip about torso to my guide if you don't mind ;) I'll try getting maxed pictures, although I don't have 99 strength atm (planning to get it eventually).

This guide is not about a big subject like gwd or whatever. It doesnt need to be extremely long to understand everything. Therefor there is nothing to add to this guide in my opinion. It would just make it heavier, which is not a good thing. Aceripper : Thanks a lot for your post :. I will add this when I manage to get it ;)

W0o0o0p: That's wrong. Obisidian split sword is as fast as whip, sara sword or d scimitar ;), and Berserker necklace only boosts the melee weapons. Leon : If you read my guide as you should've before flaming it, you would've seen I wrote that the split sword was an excellent weapon for training and killing low-defence monsters more easily than with any other weapon, and that the obsidian maul is a perfect finisher weapon for pvp.

I don't understand what you mean. There was another Berserker Necklace guide before?

Hello, and welcome to my second guide on the TIF : The Berserker Necklace / Obsidian Weapons Guide :. Obsidian Weapons/Berserker Necklaces are the most under-estimated items ever. The Berserker Necklace has the special ability to raise the damage you deal by 20% when wielding a melee Obsidian weapon (Sword, Dagger, Maul and Mace), which can make them extremely great weapons. Requirements -60 Attack for Split Sword, Knife and Mace -60 Strength for Maul You can use the Obsidian Weapons if... -You want to do Pvp (Obsidian Split-Sword, Maul and Mace); -You want to do Slayer (Obsidian Split Sword); -You go killing the Corporeal Beast (Obsidian Split Sword in Stab); -You go killing Waterfiends (Obsidian Maul and Mace Crush); -You are a Strength pure with 1 Attack (Obsidian Maul); -You cannot do the required quests for other weapons; -You don't have the money for the other weapons, or just dont want to use it for that; -You want to train Strength (Obsidian Split Sword in Agressive). -You need/prefer a 1-handed weapon (Obsidian Split Sword and Mace) [hide=Screenshots] Me doing Slayer at Black Dragons with Obsidian Split-Sword Me doing Slayer at Greater Demons with Obsidian Split-Sword Slaying Nechryaels with Obsidian-Split-Sword Slaying Gargoyles using Obsidian Split-Sword The_Dmt1234 (99 combat with Obby Sword + Berserker Necklace) killing another dude (111 combat with Abyssal Whip) in Bounty hunter.

Tips on using Obsidian Weapons -It is a very good thing to have a high Attack level when using these weapons, since their main disadvantage (yet not big) is accuracy. Super Attack potions are also extremely useful. I suggest you don't use these weapons on monsters with high defence. -The Berserker's Necklace special effect stacks with the Black Mask/Slayer Helm effect, so it is a good idea for Slayer tasks. Obsidian's Split Sword maxed damage goes from 48 to 52, Obsidian Maul from 57 to 61, Obsidian Knife from 45 to 48, and Obsidian Mace from 50 to 54. -Try bringing a Dragon weapon like a Dragon Dagger with you when using Obsidian Weapons, so you can use your Special Attack Bar for something ;). -Some armours, like Fighter Torso and all Chainbodies, have less defense against stab than other defenses, so Obsidian Split Sword is an excellent choice against them. Also, some monsters like the Corporeal Beast are weak to Stab attacks. Waterfiends can be fought with Obsidian Maul or Mace too since they are weak to Crush. -For all the exact information and stats on Obsidian Weapons, click here. Closing Words In conclusion, the Obsidian Weapons along with the Berserker Necklace are, in some situations, the best alternatives you can have. They are cheap, efficient, and have very few requirements (Stat-like and Quest-like) to be used. I strongly recommend you to compare your Max Hit with Obsidian Weapons and your usual weapons on the Tip.it Max Hit Calculator. Well, that's it for my Berserker Necklace guide :.

Thanks for your post, and I wish you good luck on your future gwd trips if you get p2p one day. A happy christmas, too :

80 range and def can be good, but it is sure that you will spend more time and get more kills at 85-85. You will also have a much easier time to find a team to play with.

Proud to have reached 20k views \

I've noticed hosting images on imageshack sometimes greatly reduced the size, but when i looked properties it said 60 kb.

Yea just changed it, but the one before was like 60kb. It worked, but might have been removed.

Okay, I'll change it then. Thanks :)

I used imageshack to host my avatar, but it seems to have a bigger size than the 20kb allowed. I see it when I go see my posts, but I'm not sure if other people see it. Can someone tell me if it works?

-Better spelling -Better english (My native language is french) -Better knowledge of tree names -Better knowledge of mythology (bunyips, hydras, minotaurs, unicorns, wolpertingers, banshees, basilisk, gargoyle, and much more)

Thanks for your posts, I'm quite happy to hear your comments :. I will take care of all corrections there has to be done in a bit.

How did you do yours anyway?

No, I edited with paint. It would make a picture too big for signature (max 450 x 200)

I'd like my signature to be centered, and not all on the left side, but I can't find a way to do it. I have seen people do it, but I don't know how. Here's what I would like my signature to look like : Does someone know how to do it?

Yea, I tried saving as png with paint, but it had trouble with the trasparence. I tried with other programs, and it gave the png image that didnt work.

Hey, thanks a bunch :, where/how did you make it png?
