The gravite rapier is a main-hand melee weapon released along with the Dungeoneering skill. It requires 55 Attack and 45 Dungeoneering to wield. It can be purchased from the rewards trader for 40,000 Dungeoneering tokens, which would realistically require a Dungeoneering level of 64 to obtain.  As with all gravite weapons, it lasts about 10 hours in combat before it needs to be recharged.

DegradingEdit

The Gravite rapier is special compared to its other gravite counterparts. While it is true for the ever popular free-to-play weapon, the Gravite 2h sword, to degrade after 10 hours of combat, it isn't exactly true for the rapier.  In a multicombat situation, the rapier may degrade faster, as dungeoneering weapons degrade for every hit dealt and received (by receiving more hits, the weapon degrades faster) ^{[source needed]}. However, in a 1v1 situation, which the rapier is commonly used for, the rapier is able to last slightly over 15 hours of continual combat, degrading 1% every ~10 minutes. Therefore, the cost for the maintenance of the rapier is greatly reduced.

TriviaEdit

• The Gravite rapier used to cost 90,000 Dungeoneering tokens before the 21 April 2010 update.
• This weapon was a very popular weapon before EoC, because of its stab bonuses.
• It is the only rapier availabe to F2P, apart from those in Dungeoneering.
• While the actual Dungeoneering level required to buy this item is 45, the experience required to obtain the 40,000 tokens would bring the player to a bare minimum of 63.
