Trident of the seas is a one-handed Magic weapon with a built-in spell. It requires 75 Magic to equip and holds up to 2,500 charges. Its built-in spell cannot attack other players.
Obtaining a trident
Kraken can drop a fully charged trident. Cave krakens can drop an uncharged trident.
Charging
Each charge requires:
- 1 death rune
- 1 chaos rune
- 5 fire runes
- 250 coins
Carry all four ingredients and use one on an uncharged or partially charged trident. It adds as many charges as your supplies and the remaining capacity allow. Use Check to inspect the charge level.
Charging an empty trident completely requires 2,500 death runes, 2,500 chaos runes, 12,500 fire runes and 625,000 coins.
Using the trident
Select a Magic attack style and attack an NPC to use the built-in spell. Its damage rises with your current Magic level and Magic damage bonuses. Charges are normally spent during combat, although charge-saving effects can prevent consumption.
Uncharging and upgrading
For a partially charged trident, Uncharge returns the runes for the remaining charges but does not refund any coins. It requires three free inventory spaces.
Do not uncharge a completely full trident: its runes are not returned. Use it until it is partially charged before uncharging it. Use Check to confirm that it is no longer full.
Combine an uncharged trident with a Magic fang at 59 Crafting to make a Trident of the swamp. A full or partially charged trident must be uncharged first.
