This article is about longswords, the article about short swords, see Sword.

Longswords are medium speed slashing weapons, with a more effective stabbing attack than the scimitar. Longswords, like all slashing weapons, are good against cloth and leather armour.

[edit] Longswords vs. Scimitars

While Longswords offer higher strength and attack bonuses, they are a full bar slower than Scimitars. There is a 3 second delay between blows with a Longsword, whereas with a scimitar, the delay is only 2.4 seconds. This equates to 20 attacks per minute with a Longsword per minute as compared to 25 attacks per minute with a Scimitar. The extra 5 hits per minute usually outweigh any damage or accuracy boost a longsword will give.

[edit] Trivia

• Before the graphical update, the longsword was more round, much like today's shortsword.
• A few days before the new longsword look came out, the black knights swords had changed to the current graphics before it was introduced, Jagex surprisingly never noticed this error.
• The new Rune Longsword is held upright like a Dragon Longsword, unlike the rest.
