Ancient artefacts
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
Ancient artefacts are artefacts from the Third Age that member players can obtain as drops from PvP and Bounty Hunter worlds. According to Mandrith, as the blood of warriors is spilled, as it once was during the God Wars, artefacts of that age feel the call to battle and are drawn into the rays of sun once more.
If the drop potential is sufficiently high, players may be awarded an ancient artefact. These can then be traded to Mandrith in Edgeville bank or Nastroth in Lumbridge Castle's courtyard for a sum of cash, according to the type of artefact. Be aware that the noted versions of these artefacts cannot be traded and are obtainable by Free players.
Many of the more expensive artefacts have extremely high alchemy values. This means that many of these items will be protected over items of higher GE value such as dragon claws or Saradomin swords. Ancient statuette protects over godswords and spirit shields. Make sure to heal or prepare an escape before picking up an artefact since it is possible to be killed by pile jumpers.
