To stop the granite maul OSRS being too powerful, adjustment has been made to this two-handed melee weapon with the update this week. A new upgrade item named ornate maul handle OSRS is added with this change.
OSRS gmaul nerf with update on Sept. 5th
According to the latest Old School news post, adjustment has been made to the granite maul OSRS. The energy cost of the granite maul’s special attack, Quick Smash, has been increased from 50% to 60% with the update.
The granite maul is a two-handed melee weapon requiring 50 Strength and Attack to wield. It was powerful and low-cost, but has high KO potential given its ability to stack some hits simultaneously with other weapons. This OSRS gmaul nerf was made to stop this inexpensive weapon being so powerful. With the adjustment, the granite maul special attack cannot be used back-to-back.

Besides the adjustment mentioned above, a new upgrade item called the ornate maul handle OSRS has been added to the game. The ornate maul handle can be used on the granite maul to reduce its special attack cost from 60% to 50%. You can purchase the ornate maul handle from the Emblem Trader in the Bounty Hunter shop with 1,250,000 BH points.
Note: The ornate maul handle OSRS will convert to 375,000 coins when lost on death in PvP.
