OSRS Ghrazi Rapier Guide: The King of Stab Weapons | Tons of XP Blog
A complete guide to the Ghrazi Rapier in OSRS. Learn where this powerful weapon comes from, why it's the best-in-slot stab weapon, and where to use it.
In the hierarchy of melee weapons in Old School RuneScape, different weapons reign supreme for different attack styles. For slash, it's the Scythe or Blade of Saeldor. For crush, it's the Inquisitor's Mace. But for the stab attack style, the undisputed king is the Ghrazi Rapier.
This guide covers everything you need to know about this top-tier weapon, from its origins in the Theatre of Blood to its best applications in high-level PvM.
What is the Ghrazi Rapier?
The Ghrazi Rapier is a one-handed weapon that requires 80 Attack to wield. It stands out for two main reasons:
- Best-in-Slot Stab Accuracy: It possesses the highest stab attack bonus of any one-handed weapon in the game (+94).
- High Strength Bonus: It has a Strength bonus of +89, matching the Abyssal Tentacle and making it significantly stronger than a standard Abyssal Whip.
This combination of top-tier accuracy and strength makes it the most powerful and versatile general-purpose stab weapon available. Unlike the Abyssal Tentacle, the Ghrazi Rapier is not degradable, meaning it can be used indefinitely without any additional cost.
How to Get the Rapier
The Ghrazi Rapier is one of the rarest and most coveted rewards from the Theatre of Blood, one of the game's most challenging raids. Its rarity and power are the reasons for its high price on the Grand Exchange, often costing hundreds of millions of GP.
Where to Use the Ghrazi Rapier
The Rapier is the best weapon to use against any monster that has a weakness to stab. Its high accuracy allows it to perform exceptionally well against high-defence monsters where other weapons might struggle to land a hit.
Top-Tier Uses:
- Theatre of Blood: The Rapier is a top-tier weapon inside the raid it comes from, especially against Sotetseg and Verzik Vitur (P2 & P3).
- Vorkath: When not using a Dragon Hunter Lance, the Rapier is the best alternative for its high and consistent damage output.
- General Slayer: While expensive for general use, it serves as a direct upgrade to the Abyssal Whip for nearly any task.
- Corporeal Beast: It is a viable alternative to the Zamorakian Hasta for the designated spear user in a team.
Rapier vs. The Competition
| Weapon | Comparison |
|---|---|
Abyssal Tentacle | The Rapier is a direct upgrade. It has the same strength but much higher accuracy and doesn't degrade. |
Dragon Hunter Lance | The Lance is better against dragons due to its 20% damage/accuracy boost. Against anything that isn't a dragon, the Rapier is superior. See our Lance vs Competitors Guide. |
Osmumten's Fang | The Fang is better against targets with extremely high defence due to its unique accuracy-rolling passive. Against low-to-medium defence monsters, the Rapier's higher strength bonus often results in more DPS. |
Conclusion
The Ghrazi Rapier is a symbol of elite PvM achievement. It represents mastery of the Theatre of Blood and stands as the best-in-slot weapon for one of the three core melee attack styles. While its high cost places it firmly in the "end-game" category, its power and versatility make it a desired goal for any player looking to maximize their melee combat potential.
