Blade of Saeldor is an item topic that Gnomonkey covers in 4 videos between 2020-04-14 and 2026-07-22. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Methods

  • The Blade of saeldor lacks the whip's poison, which is needed at Verzik phase 2 for the purple Nylocas, so you must bring a serpentine helm, switch and avoid ranged and pipe the Nylocas, or have a teammate poison it.1

Stats and numbers

  • The Blade of Saeldor was over 180 million gp at the time and was looking to hit close to 200 million.2
  • The Corrupted Gauntlet drops the Blade of Saeldor at 1/400 per run, according to Gnomonkey.3
  • Imbuing the Blade of Saeldor needs 150 crystal shards, which an enhanced crystal teleport seed breaks down into, according to Gnomonkey.4
  • A Blade of saeldor is around 5% more DPS than a tentacle whip, making it a decent option to bridge the gap while grinding for a scythe.1
  • Because the Blade of saeldor has a cheaper cost to hit than the whip, taking a serpentine helm with it makes the supply cost almost the same as with a whip.5

Tips

  • Gnomonkey would not imbue a Blade of saeldor for Theatre of Blood use because you will make enough for a scythe before nearly reaching the 1000 crystal shard imbue cost; crystal shards can be bought via enhanced crystal teleport seeds that turn in for 150 shards each.5

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the Blade of Saeldor helps hold the price of enhanced crystal teleport seeds steady.6
  • Gnomonkey says the Blade of Saeldor's buff makes it guaranteed to beat 'Nox' in all situations, including without a Vernic, whereas before the two were very close.7

Events

  • As of the April 2020 update Jagex changed the Blade of Saeldor (described by Gnomonkey as the slash equivalent of the Ghrazi rapier) so that it can be imbued with 1000 crystal shards into a permanent non-degrading weapon.2
  • The Blade of Saeldor and the rapier both got buffs in the Summer Sweep-up.8
