Rune scimitar

The Rune scimitar is a scimitar stronger than the adamant scimitar. Like all Rune weapons, it requires 40 attack to wield. It is both the most preferred rune weapon, and is arguably the best weapon in free-to-play because of its mix of speed and power, much like the reason the Abyssal Whip is popular in member's worlds. The scimitar's main attack style is the Slash or Aggressive attack style, but for players who have a low Strength level, it is recommended that they use the Chop or Accurate attack style instead. It can only be used in combat. It is also the second strongest scimitar available to free players, behind the corrupt dragon scimitar. Players can make a rune scimitar with the smithing skill at level 90 using 2 rune bars, giving the player 150 smithing experience. However it cannot hit as hard as the rune two-handed sword. Despite this, it is one of the most popular weapons in f2p.

The street price of the rune scimitar is around 30,000 coins. Before the introduction of the Grand Exchange, it was at about 16,000 coins. It is now rising with the release of PvP worlds.

Free players are able to obtain the rune scimitar as a semi-rare drop from Cockroach soldiers in the Stronghold of Player Safety. For members, the rune scimitar can be obtained as a fairly common drop by a variety of monsters, such as Zamorak warriors and Fire Giants.
