Rune sword

The Rune sword is a sword stronger than the adamant sword. Like all Rune weapons, it requires 40 Attack to wield. It is the strongest shortsword available to free players. Players can make a rune sword with the Smithing skill at level 89 using 1 rune bar, giving the player 75 Smithing experience.

Rune swords are sold in the Champion's Guild at Scavvo's Rune Store, and are dropped by certain monsters. They can also be obtained from level 3 Treasure Trails. As players do not typically use armour weak to stab, many players choose not to use this weapon.

While the Rune longsword has the same stab bonus, a Rune sword also has the accurate attack which gives +3 to stab. This makes it more accurate than the Rune longsword by a small margin.

Tindel Marchant will repair rusted swords, which may randomly become any sword from bronze to rune.
