The Trident of the swamp is a one-handed powered staff that requires level 75 Magic. It casts its own spell and is charged with Zulrah's scales instead of runes. It has +25 Magic attack, the same as the Sanguinesti staff, whose spell hits 1 higher and can heal you. It is a monster-killing weapon: against players its spell only works in FunPk areas. Players can compare it in the ::bis interface.

Effect
Built-in spell
- The trident attacks with its own spell every 4 ticks (2.4 seconds). The spell works on every spellbook. The trident cannot autocast spellbook spells.
- Max hit: 23 + (Magic level − 75) ÷ 3, rounded down. That is 31 at 99 Magic; boosted Magic levels count. Magic damage bonuses from your other gear are added on top.
- Against monsters it reaches up to 8 tiles away (10 on Longrange), while standard spells reach 10.
- Against players the spell only works in FunPk areas and Castle Wars, not in the Wilderness or other dangerous PvP zones.
Charges
- Use Zulrah's scales on the trident to charge it. It holds up to 2,500 scales, and each cast uses 1 scale.
- Using scales on an Uncharged toxic trident turns it into a Trident of the swamp. When the scales run out, it turns back into the Uncharged toxic trident.
- Uncharge gives back all the scales and the Uncharged toxic trident.
- You can only own one charged Trident of the swamp. If you die and lose it to another player, your killer gets the Uncharged toxic trident and the stored scales.
- Zulrah's scales cost 1 PK point each in the PK Point Shop, and Zulrah drops 500–1,000 on every kill.
How to get it
Use a Magic fang on a Trident of the seas (full) to make an Uncharged toxic trident, then charge it with Zulrah's scales. Dismantle on the Uncharged toxic trident gives both parts back.

- Achievements: Zulrah and Battle Mage kill achievements give Magic fangs (for example at 1,000 Zulrah kills), and Kraken kill achievements give a Trident of the seas (full) at 1,000, 3,500, 7,000 and 9,500 kills.
- The Magic fang and the Trident of the seas (full) also come from the Monster Crate.
- The Uncharged toxic trident is tradeable, so it can be bought from other players or on the Trading post. The charged trident cannot be traded.
