Gear Guide

## Introduction

Matrix has lots of cool, funky, exciting and confusing gear upgrades; This thread is to help you understand, what is in game, and how they're obtainable!

Upgrade Gems are created by crafting 1.5m fragment shards. These gems can be used to upgrade items on the list below without a chance of failure, obtain upgrade shards by sacrificing items into the upgrade chest or by killing hardmode Zulrah.

## Melee Weapons

**Abyssal whip:** 85 slayer (very quick to get) Kill Abyssal demons with your starter dragon or rune scim! This can be skipped by starting with the Dungeoneering skill (Obtainable from world boss).

**Abyssal Tentacle/Vine whip**: These items are optional but usually skipped over due to Chaotic weaponry existing, none the less if you hate Dungeoneering, the Abyssal tentacle requires a whip and a kraken tentacle obtained from the Cave Kraken boss at 87 slayer. The Vine whip is obtained from Jadinkos (Again I would advise on skipping these) (Obtainable from world boss).

**Vesta/Statius**: Vesta Longsword, Vesta Spear, Statius Warhammer are all obtainable by killing Revenants in the wilderness or by shopping with Mandrith at ::shops. These items degrade and are mostly used in pvp scenarios, the Statius warhammer is a VERY good option to skip the dragon warhammer grind.

**Viggora's Chainmace**: This is obtained with 100k blood money from Mandrith.

**Zamorakian Spear/hasta**: Obtained from killing Kril (Zammy boss) You turn the spear into a hasta at the barbarian fishing teleport.

**Dragon Hunter Lance**: Obtained by combining a Hydra claw with the Zamorak hasta. Hydra claw is obtained from killing Hydra at 95 slayer, Spear from Kril.

**Chaotic Weaponry**: Obtained from the dungeoneering skills' reward shop, this is a viable option to skip the Abyssal whip (Longsword/Chaotic Rapier/Maul) (Obtainable from world boss).

**Ghrazi Rapier**: Obtained from the Theatre Of Blood raids 2. This item is slightly worse than a chaotic rapier but doesn't degrade or need recharging, you can also upgrade this item into a Legendary Lightning Rapier.

**Inquisitor Mace**: Obtained from the Nightmare, one of the best crush weapons in-game. You need this item to create the Templar mace.

**Scythe of Vitur**: Obtained from The Theatre Of Blood raids 2. This can be combined with the Onyx blood gem dropped by the world boss to make the Blood Scythe.

**Legendary Lightning Rapier**: This is the best in slot 1 handed stab weapon in-game. Obtain this by gambling your Ghrazi rapier into the upgrade chest, you can also use two Upgrade gems with the Ghrazi rapier to upgrade the item into the Legendary Lightning rapier.

**Templar Mace**: This is obtained by combining the Inquisitor mace with the Annihilation (Mace bought with blood money from Mandrith) This weapon is no joke.

**Verzik Blood Scythe**: This is obtained by combining the Matrix blood gem with the Scythe of Vitur (Verzik blood gem is dropped from the World boss).
