The Sacred clay harpoon is obtained from the Morphic tool (costing 20 Stealing Creation points). It is a fishing tool used to harpoon fish. A difference from normal harpoons is that this one can be held in player's weapon slot like a barb-tailed harpoon and gives double experience per fish caught. This item can be Stored in the Tackle box. Unlike other fishing equipment, only one Sacred Clay Harpoon may be stored at a time.

It has a "charges left" system based upon acquired bonus experience due to the harpoon. The charge decreases as experience for using the harpoon is given. If used from the full charge state, approximately 23,500 total fishing experience is gained by the time it crumbles to dust (that is, after providing 11,750 extra fishing xp). It is advised to use only one, because every extra harpoon or Morphic tool will take an extra slot in bank space.
It can be reverted back to a morphic tool without losing any charge and then changed into any morphic item (unlike from tools derived from the Volatile Tool).
The +100 experience gained from using swordfish or Shark gloves is added before the harpoon doubles the experience. See table below:
| Condition | Tuna | Swordfish | Shark |
|---|---|---|---|
| No items | 80 | 100 | 110 |
| Gloves | n/a | 200 | 210 |
| Harpoon | 160 | 200 | 220 |
| Both | n/a | 400 | 420 |
Trivia
- The harpoon moves through the "dipping" motion twice as fast as a normal harpoon, but the player waits twice as long between harpoon throws.
- On the day of release, there was a glitch that prevented fishing while equipped.
- There is a glitch which prevents players from fishing swordfish and tuna; you could only fish sharks. This glitch is resolved by logging out and then back in again.
