The black spear is a two-handed melee weapon. To obtain a black spear, a player can buy one from another player, receive it as a gift from turning vampyre Juvinates into humans, or from looting a chest in the Shade Catacombs while participating in the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. Like all black weapons, the black spear requires an Attack level of 10 to wield.

As with all black and white equipment, the Black spear cannot be made from raw materials using the Smithing skill.

Trivia

• There is no white spear. This makes the black spear one of only a few pieces of black equipment that has no white equivalent.
