[edit] Weapons

Rune weapons require an Attack level of 40 to wield. They were formerly the strongest weapons available to free players until the introduction of Corrupted dragon equipment which came with the PvP worlds update, however, they are still regarded as the best F2P weapons as they do not disappear like corrupt dragon. Rune equipment is often criticised as being too expensive, especially to free players.

[edit] Armour

Rune armour is the highest-quality non-degradable armour that free-to-play players can wear, and the second-highest quality armour on the standard metal armour spectrum (bronze to dragon). Rune armour requires 40 Defence to wear and Dragon Slayer to wear the rune platebody, but only 40 Defence (45 for rune berserker) to wear all other pieces (thus, Dragon Slayer need not be completed.) With a full set costing around 160,000 coins, it provides excellent defence for its price. Rune armour is the best choice for warriors with level 40 defence, or non members who can't or choose, for various reasons(mainly due to cost), not to wear corrupt dragon armour.

[edit] Obtaining from the Champions' Guild

Rune Armour is the best type of armour in a non-member's world, the only armour that's better is the corrupt dragon armour, which crumbles to dust after 30 minutes. The rune platebody can only be worn after the completion of the Dragon Slayer quest, though all other pieces of rune armour can be worn even without its completion. Rune platelegs, rune plateskirts, rune chainbodies, rune swords, rune maces, etc. can be bought in Scavvo's Rune Store on the second floor in the Champions' Guild just south of Varrock, or the Grand Exchange.

• Rune plateskirt: 64,000 coins
• Rune platelegs: 64,000 coins
• Rune chainbody: 50,000 coins
• Rune longsword: 32,000 coins

[edit] Rune Armour in RSC

Long ago, in the early development stages of RuneScape Classic, rune armour didn't exist. Prior to its release, Jagex planned on making the colour of rune purple. There are images floating around the internet of a Purple Rune 2 Handed Sword in a trade screen from RuneScape Classic. Then when Rune was released it was changed to a cyan colour. Once RuneScape 2 was released the cyan colour of Rune armour was toned down into a more shaded colour.

[edit] Trivia

• All the god armour, trimmed armour and gilded versions of rune have the same exact stats as regular rune; it is only a different colour.
• Players can't trim rune armour, or any armour for that matter. This was a common scamming method before the trading update.
