Disarm is a special move that was added during the Age of Shadows expansion in 2003.

Effects

This special move disarms an opponent, not allowing them to rearm themselves for a short amount of time. When performed using a weapon, a 15-second disarm immunity timer is applied. When performed bare-handed through Wrestling, it does not cause disarm immunity nor does it require the tactics skill. It is primarily used in PvP situations, as most NPCs are immune to its effects.

The Splintering Weapon effect does not trigger when performing Disarm.

Primary weapons

Weapons with a primary ability of Disarm require 70 or higher in the appropriate fighting skill and 30 or higher in tactics.

Secondary weapons

Weapons with a secondary ability of Disarm require 90 or higher in the appropriate fighting skill and 60 or higher in tactics.
