![](/img_auth.php/Salamander_attack.gif)
The orange salamander is the fourth strongest salamander weapon. Once the Hunter creature is caught using the Hunter skill, they become weapons. The orange salamander requires level 50 Ranged, 50 Attack, and 50 Magic to wield and is a two-handed weapon. Marrentill tar is used as ammunition for the salamander.
Despite being able to perform Magic and Ranged attacks, this weapon requires the user to be in the opponent's melee distance to attack, potentially reducing the practicality of the two attack styles.
They require 47 Hunter to catch, and give 224 Hunter experience when caught. A small fishing net and a rope is used to set up the traps that catch salamanders. They are caught in the Kharidian Desert and the Necropolis.
When using the Scorch (Slash) and Blaze (Magic) attack styles, the attack speed is 5. When using the Flare (Range) attack style, the attack speed is 4, which is similar in concept to the Rapid style of most ranged weapons, and it will use standard[1] ranged defense, similar to bows. Regardless of the selected style it can only attack in melee distance, though it can attack diagonally and across corners on walls and objects, unlike most melee weapons. This can allow it to be used to safespot certain monsters that would otherwise require flinching or ranged/magic.
Note that the orange salamander is not retrievable if a player dies. This is because it is a live creature and it will simply run away once released.

Experience
Due to the nature of salamanders, combat experience is rewarded normally. However you will get less magic exp per attack because there isn't a base exp amount per cast as with other spells.
Combat Style | Type | Experience |
---|---|---|
Scorch | Slash | |
Flare | Ranged | |
Blaze | Magic |
Maximum hit
For melee mode the strength bonus of the salamander is used, which is 31 (same as an adamant longsword).
For ranged mode the ranged strength bonus of the tar is used to decide the maximum hit. The orange salamander uses marrentill tars which have a ranged strength bonus of 22 (same as mithril arrows).
The maximum hit for magic mode uses the "magic damage bonus" of the salamander. This bonus is not visible in the equipment stats, but is equal to 59 for the orange salamander.
The max hit (Hitmax) formula for salamanders is shown in fig.1., where "Magic" is your visible magic level (the level shown in the stats tab) and "Bonus" is the "magic damage bonus" for the salamander, in this case 59. This gives us the formula for the orange salamander as shown in fig.2.
The table below shows maximum hits from level 50 to level 125. Like all other magic attacks, the max hit damage can be increased by using magic damage boosting equipment.
