Trident of the swamp is a one-handed Magic weapon made by upgrading a Trident of the seas with a Magic fang. It requires 75 Magic to equip. Its built-in spell can inflict venom and cannot attack other players.
Making the trident
With 59 Crafting, use a magic fang on an uncharged trident of the seas. The resulting toxic trident is uncharged. Charged tridents of the seas cannot be used in the recipe.
Charging
Each charge requires:
- 1 death rune
- 1 chaos rune
- 5 fire runes
- 1 Zulrah's scale
Carry all four ingredients and use one on the trident. It adds as many charges as your supplies and the remaining capacity allow, up to 2,500 charges. Use Check to inspect the remaining charges.
A full charge from empty requires 2,500 death runes, 2,500 chaos runes, 12,500 fire runes and 2,500 scales.
Using the trident
Select a Magic attack style and attack an NPC to use the built-in spell. The swamp trident has a higher base spell hit and Magic accuracy bonus than the trident of the seas. Its damage rises with your current Magic level and Magic damage bonuses. Damaging attacks can inflict venom on targets that are not immune.
Charges are normally consumed during combat; charge-saving effects can prevent consumption.
Uncharging and dismantling
Uncharge returns the remaining runes and scales and requires four free inventory spaces. The confirmation warns that scales will be lost, but the scales are returned along with the runes.
An uncharged toxic trident can be dismantled into an uncharged Trident of the seas and a Magic fang. Leave at least one free inventory space for the fang.
