Melee PKing, melee tournaments and bossing with Vengeance
Switch to it
::lunar, ::veng or the Altar of the Occult at ::home
The Lunar spellbook (often just called Lunars) is one of the three spellbooks on Roat Pkz, next to the Standard spellbook and Ancient Magicks. Players switch to it for Vengeance, the spell that deals 75% of the next hit you take back to whoever hit you. That makes it the spellbook of melee PKers, of the melee tournaments and of many bossers. It also has Home Teleport and Teleport to Target.
Home Teleport uses no runes. Like other teleports, it cannot be used above level 20 Wilderness, at level 1–10 while another player is attacking you, or while you are teleblocked.
Vengeance
Vengeance needs 94 Magic and 40 Defence (boosted levels count) and costs 10 earth, 4 astral and 2 death runes. Once cast, it stays active until a hit that deals damage lands on you; that player or monster then takes 75% of the damage you took, capped by your remaining Hitpoints, and your character shouts "Taste vengeance!". You can cast it once every 30 seconds (50 ticks), and when you kill a player while within 15 tiles of them the cooldown is reset. You cannot cast it while you wield Dinh's bulwark or in the F2P Zone. Your Vengeance is switched off when you die, load a kit, start a duel or enter a minigame or raid. See Vengeance for which hits set it off and how it combines with recoil effects.
Runes for Vengeance
::veng gives you 5,000 death, astral and earth runes in a safe zone, as long as you are not under attack, and offers to switch you to the Lunar spellbook.
The Vengeance pre-set of the Rune pouch loads astral, earth and death runes, and the magic shop at ::shops gives them out free of charge.
A staff that gives earth runes, or a charged Tome of earth, covers the 10 earth runes.
A Blighted vengeance sack replaces the runes for one cast (1 Bounty Hunter point each in the magic shop at ::shops).
Switching to the Lunar spellbook
Method
Where it works
Notes
Altar of the Occult
At ::home
Right-click the altar and choose Swap-to Lunar. Its other options switch you to the standard spellbook or Ancient Magicks, and Pray-at restores your Prayer.
Prayer altars
Outside PvP areas
Altars with a Change-spellbook option open a menu with all three spellbooks.
::lunar (or ::lunars)
Anywhere you can use a bank
Not in the Wilderness or other PvP areas, dangerous PvM areas or Barrows, and not during a duel or trade. ::modern and ::ancients switch to the other spellbooks.
Only after you have dealt 25,000 Magic damage to other players, and only a few times per day (see Magic cape).
::veng
Safe zones, while not under attack
Gives you the runes for Vengeance and then offers to switch you to the Lunar spellbook. The Vengeance pre-set of the Rune pouch does the same outside PvP areas.
Loading a kit
Where kits can be loaded
A kit switches you to the spellbook saved with it (::kits). The pre-made Main and Zerker kits use the Lunar spellbook.
You cannot change spellbook in the Wilderness or other PvP areas, except with a Magic cape.
In the F2P Zone everyone is put on the standard spellbook.
In minigames
Tournaments: the Main Melee, Dharok's, No Armor, Void and Zerker tournaments are fought on the Lunar spellbook.
Last Man Standing: you pick your spellbook at the supply chest. The Lunar spellbook can be picked with the Max/Med and Zerker builds, but not with the 1 Def Pure build.
Clan Cup: Vengeance can be turned off for a cup; the Clan Cup interface shows whether it is enabled.
