War ship



The war ship was discontinued in 2002 with the transition to RuneScape 2. The war ship was once found in Glough's house in the Gnome Stronghold during the Grand Tree quest. It was only available on RuneScape Classic but some people kept them during the transition to RuneScape 2 and still have them in the current game. Jagex has not changed the graphics of the war ship as they have done to other rare items with the release of RuneScape 2.

The war ship is widely considered one of the rarest items in RuneScape 2. The only way to acquire it in RuneScape was by transferring it from your Classic account when RuneScape 2 first came out. However, in RuneScape Classic, it is not as rare as it once was due to the fact that players are able to re-obtain this item during the two-week introductory period for RuneScape Classic, held by Jagex in the period of 11 November - 25 November 2009. Although this is still an uncommon rare item, it does not give you an advantage at all and is not able to be equipped. The war ship was a tradeable rarely kept item found in the top of a house in the Tree Gnome Stronghold when it was first released. When players found out that they could not do anything with it, they dropped it since it would just respawn anyway. Upon transition to RuneScape 2, it was rendered untradeable.

When players chose to play with the war ship during RuneScape Classic It would state: ''You pretend to sail the ship across the floor. You soon become very bored, and realise you look quite silly.''

Trivia

 * It is among the few items in RuneScape Classic to have a near instantaneous respawn rate.
