Void gear

Four Void items that hit harder against void monsters, and three Void wizard robes that strengthen your spells against any monster.

The Void Scimitar, Shortbow, Sceptre and Amulet are built for one job: fighting void monsters. Against anything else they are ordinary equipment with the stats on their item pages. The three Void wizard robes are different: their spell bonus works on every monster. None of these special effects works against players.

The four Void items

ItemNeedsAgainst void monsters
Void Scimitar70 Attack and 70 Magic×1.2 melee damage and accuracy
Void Shortbow80 Ranged×1.2 ranged damage and accuracy, and no arrows used
Void Sceptre60 Magic×1.2 spell damage and accuracy (×1.5 against Void Dragons)
Void AmuletNothing×1.5 stackable drops

None of the seven items on this page is members-only, so they all work on free-to-play Wilderness ground. When you die, the Scimitar, Shortbow, Sceptre and Amulet are the first items picked for your kept slots.

Void Scimitar

It has +60 Aim and +60 Power everywhere. The Magic requirement is the one people miss: you need 70 Magic as well as 70 Attack to wield it.

Void Shortbow

Against a void monster it fires without arrows, at the strength of a rune arrow, and uses nothing up. Against anything else it needs arrows like any other bow, and it takes everything up to dragon arrows. Its own aim matches a magic shortbow's.

Void Sceptre

The Sceptre's +25 Magic bonus works everywhere, players included. Its damage and accuracy bonus needs a void monster.

  • Void Rupture. When one of your combat spells lands on a monster, up to 2 other monsters within 2 squares of it take part of the damage: 60% to the first and 30% to the second. An arc onto a void monster carries 100%. Arcs only reach monsters you could attack yourself: never a player, and never a monster another player is fighting. A spell that hits 0 does not arc.
  • Autocast. Choose Autocast on the Sceptre in your inventory and pick any Wind, Water, Earth or Fire strike, bolt, blast or wave, or Crumble undead. You need the spell's Magic level. While you wield the Sceptre, attacking a monster casts that spell every time your cast timer allows, using your runes, until the monster dies, the cast fails or you do something else. It only works on monsters. Choose Stop autocasting to turn it off.

Void Amulet

While you wear it, stackable or noted drops from void monsters come out ×1.5 larger, rounded down. Single unnoted items are not changed. It changes how many you get, never what drops, so it will not help you find a Scimitar. Its own bonuses are +6 Armour, Aim, Power and Magic.

What counts as a void monster

The main places to use the Void effects are:

Some quest encounters have a narrower rule: the weapons also work against Xul'Kari's blade phase, but the Amulet does not multiply loot from either form of Xul'Kari. The Cold Stair's unlit encounters do not receive the Amulet's drop bonus either. A weapon bonus does not guarantee a larger reward.

Against another player you get the items' listed stats and nothing more.

The Void wizard set

Void WizardshatVoid Wizards robeVoid Wizards bottom

Each robe needs 75 Magic and gives Magic bonus only: +6 for the Void Wizardshat, +9 for the Void Wizards robe and +7 for the Void Wizards bottom. None of them has any armour. The set bonus counts the pieces you wear, so one piece already helps, and it works against every monster, not only void ones. With the Sceptre against a void monster, the two bonuses add together rather than multiply.

Pieces wornSpell damage against any monsterWith the Sceptre, against a void monsterWith the Sceptre, against a Void Dragon
1×1.05×1.25×1.55
2×1.1×1.3×1.6
3×1.2×1.4×1.7

Against players the set bonus is zero. The robes are then worth their Magic bonus and no armour.
