Abyssal Whip

The Abyssal Whip is a powerful one-handed melee weapon  which requires an Attack level of 70 to wield. The whip is among the most powerful and popular non-degradable melee weapons and is capable of attacking with the speed of daggers and scimitars at 2.4 seconds per hit. It may only be obtained from the shop at Home, or as a drop from the Abyssal Demon, (which requires a Slayer level of 85 to harm).



Use as a weapon
The Abyssal Whip has a slash attack and strength bonus of 82, making it a popular weapon choice among mid level players, or as a cheap throwaway weapon for pkers.

Use as currency
Whips consistently hold a value of between 4.5 and 5m so they are commonly used to hold large amounts of wealth or to trade large sums that exceed maximum cash stack.
