Hammer

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

This article is about the tool used mostly in Smithing and Construction. For other uses, see Hammer (disambiguation).


A detailed view of a hammer

A Hammer is a tool that players use primarily for Smithing, to make items from metal bars on an anvil. The hammer is also a very important part of the Construction skill because it, along with a saw, is needed to build anything and everything in the house.

The hammer is also required in several quests, to aid in the time-honoured way of dealing with a vampire (in conjunction with a stake) in Vampire Slayer, or to hammer in some nails (for example, in Dragon Slayer or In Aid of the Myreque). A hammer is also used in Animal Magnetism to make a magnet. You will also need a hammer to access the Bandos Stronghold in the God Wars Dungeon.

It may be bought from a general store for 13 coins, or may be found upstairs at the Falador forge as well as from the Grand Exchange for 23 coins. Players would be well-advised not to forget a hammer if they need it, as it may be time-consuming to return to a bank.

As of 1 July 2008, players lose their hammer after completing the RuneScape tutorial.
