An unholy symbol is a silver symbol blessed to imbue it with the unholy power of Zamorak.

Players can make unholy symbols by using the Crafting skill. First, a player must use a silver bar with a furnace while they have an unholy mould in their inventory or toolbelt, and must have one free inventory space. This will give the player an unstrung emblem and they will receive 50 Crafting experience. Next, the player must string the symbol with a ball of wool, giving the player 4 Crafting experience and making the item into an unpowered symbol. Finally, the symbol must be blessed by the Spirit of Scorpius at the Scorpius Shrine, north of the Observatory, or by using an Unholy book or Book of balance with it. To bless the symbol using one of the books, a player must have a Prayer level of 55 or higher, and blessing the symbol makes the player expend (current prayer points / 10) + 2 Prayer points. Once blessed, the unpowered symbol becomes simply an unholy symbol and provides the bonuses below.

Trivia

• If players wear an unholy symbol while in the waiting room of Saradomin in Castle Wars, they will be transformed into a rabbit. If players enter the Guthix portal wearing an unholy symbol, they will turn into sheep until the start of the next game.
• When the item was first released, it was not tradeable.
• Before an update it used to be made from gold instead of silver. This makes more sense in a way, as demons, vampires and vampyres (devout followers of Zamorak) are vulnerable to silver weapons, like Silverlight and Darklight. Again, after a hidden update, the symbol's colour was changed to gold.
• The unholy symbol when you equip it looks like gold but when you see it in the equipment the colour is silver.
• There appears to be a glitch that occurs when the unholy symbol is worn in combination with a rune platebody. The full symbol is not displayed, but two golden prongs appear to jut from the chest.
