It is a popular weapon against dragons of all types and Vet'ion, as it has the highest stab bonus in the game and a reasonable crush bonus. All of the stat bonuses remain the same as a Zamorakian spear, and it retains its special attack, making it superior in all circumstances (except when fighting Corporeal Beast) as it allows for an off-hand equipment such as a shield to be used. To make or wield it, you must have completed the Barbarian Firemaking, Fishing and Smithing parts of Barbarian Training. Like the Zamorakian spear, the hasta requires an Attack level of 70.
