Ursine chainmace

“An ancient and peculiar chainmace, corrupted by the power of Callisto.”

The Ursine chainmace is a wilderness crush weapon needing 70 Attack, built by combining Viggora's chainmace with the claws of Callisto (85 Smithing, or 500K coins to Andros Mai). It swings every 2.4 seconds and, once charged with revenant ether, gains a +50% accuracy and damage boost against any NPC in the Wilderness plus the Bear Down special, making it the strongest melee option for Wilderness PvM. The charged form is untradeable; the price below is the uncharged twin, around 6.7M.

Equipment bonuses

The Ursine chainmace lands +71 crush and +53 stab attack alongside +74 melee strength and +2 prayer, swinging once every 4 ticks (2.4 seconds) on the Spiked crush style.

Those numbers improve on Viggora's chainmace (+71 crush / +74 strength here versus +67 / +66), and the charged passive and special are the real draw; it needs 70 Attack to wield, where Viggora's needs only 60.

How to get the Ursine chainmace

The Ursine chainmace is not a drop — you build it. Combine a Viggora's chainmace with the claws of Callisto (dropped by Callisto and Artio in the Wilderness). The combine needs 85 Smithing; if you are short on the level, Andros Mai in Ferox Enclave will do it for you for 500,000 coins.

The result is the uncharged Ursine chainmace, which is tradeable on the Grand Exchange for roughly 6.7M. To unlock its passive you must charge it with revenant ether: 1,000 ether activates the weapon, and you can load up to a further 16,000 ether (17,000 total) to power the Wilderness boost. Charged, the mace becomes untradeable until you uncharge it again, which is why the live price above is the uncharged version.

One warning: if you die in the Wilderness, any stored ether is always dropped — even if the mace is a protected item — so only load what you need for the trip.

Wilderness passive & special attack

When charged, the Ursine chainmace applies a +50% melee accuracy and damage boost against any NPC in the Wilderness, consuming 1 ether per attack whether you hit or miss. Per the wiki this makes it the best melee weapon in the Wilderness for PvM, surpassing the max hit of an elder maul while keeping the same 2.4-second speed as an abyssal whip. The boost stacks with a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet (and their variants) — but only one of the two at a time, not both. Constant use costs about 1,500 ether per hour, and a fully charged mace lasts a minimum of 640 minutes (10.67 hours) in combat.

The special attack, Bear Down, costs 50% special-attack energy and only works while charged. It hits with doubled accuracy and, on a successful hit, also deals 20 damage over 6 seconds, stops the target from running for 3.6 seconds, and drains their Agility level by 20 — a strong tool for catching and pinning a fleeing target.

Is the Ursine chainmace worth it?

For Wilderness PvM — revenants, Wilderness bosses, slayer tasks in the deep wild — the Ursine chainmace is the top melee pick because the +50% boost only the wild grants is built into the weapon. Outside the Wilderness the boost does nothing, so the mace's wilderness edge disappears and you would usually reach for a stronger general-purpose melee weapon instead.

At around 6.7M for the uncharged form plus ongoing ether costs, it is a focused tool rather than an all-rounder. If your training and money-making happen inside the Wilderness, planning your kit with the Boss Gear Finder and tracking the price on the GE price tracker will tell you whether the boost pays for itself on your targets.

Ursine chainmace FAQ

What level do you need for the Ursine chainmace?

You need 70 Attack to wield it. Building it from Viggora's chainmace and the claws of Callisto also needs 85 Smithing — or you can pay Andros Mai in Ferox Enclave 500,000 coins to combine them for you.

How do you get the Ursine chainmace?

It is crafted, not dropped. Combine a Viggora's chainmace with the claws of Callisto (from Callisto and Artio in the Wilderness). The combine requires 85 Smithing, or Andros Mai will do it for 500,000 coins.

What is the Ursine chainmace's special attack?

Its special is Bear Down, costing 50% special-attack energy and usable only while charged. It hits with doubled accuracy and, on a successful hit, deals 20 damage over 6 seconds, prevents the target running for 3.6 seconds, and drains their Agility by 20.

How do you charge the Ursine chainmace?

Charge it with revenant ether: 1,000 ether activates the weapon and you can add up to 16,000 more (17,000 total). The passive then uses 1 ether per attack. Be careful — if you die in the Wilderness, all stored ether is always dropped even if the mace is protected.

Why is the charged Ursine chainmace untradeable but still has a price?

The charged mace cannot be traded. The price you see is the uncharged version, which is tradeable on the Grand Exchange for about 6.7M. Uncharging the weapon makes it tradeable again.

Is the Ursine chainmace good?

In the Wilderness, yes — the wiki calls it the best melee weapon for Wilderness PvM, since charging adds +50% accuracy and damage against any Wilderness NPC and the max hit beats an elder maul at abyssal-whip speed. Outside the Wilderness the boost does nothing and it just matches Viggora's chainmace.

Does the Ursine chainmace boost stack with a Slayer helmet or Salve amulet?

Yes, but only one at a time. The Wilderness boost stacks with either a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet (and their variants) — just not both simultaneously.

How much is the Ursine chainmace worth?

The uncharged, tradeable form sits at roughly 6.7M on the Grand Exchange. Check the live chart above for the current price, since it moves with demand.
