Some items in Runescape have so called "special attacks". Those special
attacks (specials) have very different effects. They may increase stats, they
may increase accuracy or damage. But they are all good. Below you will find a
list of every item (to date) and their special list.

Specials can come in very handy in many different situations. For example, in
wilderness, Dragon spear could be your means of escape. If you need to hit hard,
Dragon battle axe will help you. Getting murdered by a mage? Seercull will put a
stop to that. It all depends on your situation, but not only are these weapons
good for normal fighting, the specials are simply an added effect.
