Arclight is a demonbane melee weapon requiring 75 Attack. It increases accuracy and damage against demons and is useful for encounters such as Skotizo. Its normal attack interval is four ticks, before attack-speed effects.
Making Arclight
Bring Darklight and at least three ancient shards to the altar in the Catacombs of Kourend. Use Darklight on the altar to consume three shards and transform it into Arclight with 1,000 charges. Ancient shards can drop from monsters killed inside the Catacombs.
Recharging
Use ancient shards on Arclight to add charges. Each use consumes up to three shards:
- One shard adds 333 charges.
- Two shards add 666 charges.
- Three shards add 1,000 charges.
Arclight holds at most 10,000 charges. Avoid recharging near the cap: the shards are still consumed when some of the added charges would exceed it. Use Check in the inventory or equipment menu to inspect the remaining charges.
Melee attacks against demons consume charges unless a charge-conservation effect saves them. When its last charge is consumed, Arclight reverts to Darklight.
Fighting Skotizo
Arclight is particularly useful against Skotizo's awakened altars: an Arclight hit deals 100 damage to an altar. Destroy the active altars during the fight to reduce Skotizo's defence.
