Runite ore



Runite ore is a type of ore that can be mined through the Mining skill in various places throughout RuneScape. It is the rarest of all standard ores (only 7 ores on members worlds or 2 ores on free worlds) and the most valuable ores in RuneScape. You need to be level 85 to mine the the runite ores, but you can boost your mining skills to a level 84 with a dwarven stout, or level 83 with a dwarven stout(m). Runite ores sell for around 11,000 to 12,000 coins. Due to its rareness, Jagex had made noted Runite Ore an extremely rare drop from Cockroach soldier inside of Stronghold of Player Safety.
 * In free worlds, there are only 2 runite rocks, located above the lava maze in the level 46 wilderness.
 * Member's worlds boasts 5 other rocks;
 * 2 located in the Heroes' Guild basement,
 * a third one in a dungeon at level 50 Wilderness which is guarded by level 64 poison spiders and 2 black dragons
 * a fourth is surrounded by several dangerous Dark Beasts under West Ardougne on the way to the Temple of Light as featured in the Mourning's Ends Part II quest.
 * One in the centre of the Fremennik Isles (reward for The Fremennik Isles quest), northeast of Neitiznot.

It can be smelted with 8 pieces of coal through the smithing skill to form a runite bar, which can then be smithed into various types of weapons and armour. Runite ore takes between 12 and 24 minutes to respawn depending on the population of the world, which is why many people who mine runite like to world switch.
