Info

Darklight is a magic sword created from the sword Silverlight during the Shadow of the Storm quest. In that quest, Silverlight is transformed into Darklight after being dyed with black mushroom ink and then being used to destroy the demon Agrith-Naar, which coats it in ichor. Both Silverlight and Darklight can be mounted on the wall of a Quest Hall in a player's home. Darklight can be further upgraded following Dimension of Disaster using 5 silver pennies in Gypsy Aris' reward shop. Purchasing the upgrade does not directly change the look, name, or base stats of the item, but will grant additional benefits listed below.

​

Passive effect

T99 Damage + T90 Accuracy against Demons.

​

Against most monsters, Darklight is a fairly weak weapon with bonuses equal to those of a steel longsword. However, when using the sword to fight most varieties of demon, it will gain a passive effect which:

• Bypasses any normal melee defence the demon has, acting as the demon's weakness (i.e. no accuracy penalty for using melee against a bolt-weak demon)

• Adds 20% hit chance

• Increases ability damage by a scaling 25-124% (a 1.25×-2.24× multiplier), based on your base Attack and Strength, and the monster's base Defence; this applies to your total ability damage, including off-hand weapons, equipment, and boosts​

• Increases auto-attack damage by 100% (a 2× multiplier)

Additionally, Darklight will remove the fire shield from a tormented demon, the only other way being holy water.

​

Special attack

 

Darklight's special attack, Weaken.

Darklight has a special attack, known as Weaken, consuming 50% adrenaline with each use and dealing 20-100% ability damage. It reduces its target's Attack, Strength and Defence by 5% + 1. Against demons, this is more effective so stats are drained by 10% + 1.

The upgraded version retains the special attack.
