Rune equipment

Rune equipment is equipment stronger than adamant equipment. As with all things rune, they have a teal colour.

Weapons
Runes armour weapons are required an Attack level of 40 to wield them. 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.

Armour
Rune armour is the highest-quality 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. With a full set costing around 203,000 coins, it provides excellent defence for its price. Rune armour is the best choice for warriors with level 40 defence, or nonmembers who can't or choose, for various reasons, not to wear corrupt dragon armour.

Stats
The full set has the following statistics:

Rune Armour in RSC

 * [[Image:Purple rune.PNG|Purple Rune (Fake)]]

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.

Trivia

 * All the god armour, trimmed armour and gold trimmed versions of rune have the same exact stats as regular rune. But just with a twist if different color.
 * Some players say that they can trim rune armour, but its considered a scam.
