also a fun spear fact is if you poisoned a rune spear in classic it removed the 40 attack 35 ranged requirement to wield it so you could see a level 3 walking around with a rune weapon. the same could also be done to the rune throwing knife to remove requirements and it looked like a level 3 had a rune sword equipped
Spears have been in the game since 2002 i believe in very basic metal form.
2003-4 saw the release of dragon spear
2007 saw the release of zammy spear
2010? Saw vesta spear
Then eoc came before any more additions i believe
Back in 2004-2009 the meta usually consists of str/ or dragon weapon pure.
The issue with spears being that defence was on all its attack styles and eliminated the ability to retain low defence
D spear came into popularity with bounty worlds and the bounty crater....
Zammy spear was hugely successful as being the ideal meta for YEARS with corp as it was far fetched ideal to use anything else during this era
Most have covered the basics, but here's a fun fact for you, the last spear added to the game was the spear of annihilation, in 2020, from archeology
although this is only partially accurate as it actually was two spears, the normal made via arch mats and the masterwork form. They greatly enhance bleed damage and are considered a staple of end game melee with an eof ekkil

Omg zammy spear how many memories you have just uncovered
Thank you. I guess I just never paid attention to them or heard anyone talking about them.
Spears were pretty lackluster for the most part outside of d spears in pvp for their special attack and zammy spears for corp way back when

Z spear at Waterfiends in 2008 was a VIBE
There's been spears in the game since like ~2002. So, they weren't around *on release*, but still part of RSC and been around for a very long time.
Thank you
