Rune boots



Rune boots are a members-only item in RuneScape that are worn in the footwear slot of the player's Inventory. The player needs at least 40 Defence to wear these armoured boots. To obtain Rune boots, the player can either obtain them as a drop from Nechryaels, defeated using the Slayer skill, or from trading with another player.

There was a significant price drop of Rune boots following the release of Dragon boots, which were available for only a few hundred thousand coins more. The price of Rune boots dropped by approximately 50% in a couple of days. By February 2008, the price had dropped from the standard price before the release of Dragon boots of 200,000 coins to just over 20,000, a drop of 90% in less than a year. The price has since seen an increase. As of 1 March 2010, Rune Boots have seen a price drop due to Merchanting Clans choosing Rune Boots as their merch item. The price has since then kept on decreasing to a lower price.

As with all metal boots, this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.
