Sigil

The Old School RuneScape Wiki also has an article on: osrsw:Sigil

For other uses, see Sigil (disambiguation).

Sigil was significantly altered after an update. This article is retained to provide information on past elements of RuneScape.

Sigils were items formerly equipped in the now-removed sigil slot. They could be activated for short-term beneficial effects. Activating any sigil put the entire slot on cooldown for a period of time dependent on the sigil used, disabling the usage of any sigil until the cooldown was over.

Sigils were reworked and removed with the update of 19 August 2019, which also partially refunded all owned sigils and replaced them with permanently unlocked abilities that have no upkeep cost, albeit with double the resources required to create the new ability codices and without the shared cooldown.
