Rune scimitar

The Rune scimitar is a scimitar stronger than the adamant scimitar. It is both one of the most preferred rune weapons, and one of the most popular weapons in free-to-play because of its mix of speed and power. It can only be used in combat. It is also the strongest scimitar available to free players. Players can make a rune scimitar with the smithing skill at level 90 using 2 rune bars, giving the player 150 smithing experience.

Also the rune scimitar was often used to scam players before the 3k trade limit was introduced in January 2008; when in note form, distinguishing between the rune scimitar and the Mithril scimitar can be difficult. In the past, the weapon was often switched at the last moment to fool players into parting with their money. This is now ineffective since there is a 3k trade limit which means anything with a value of higher or lower then 3k of what the other person is trading cannot be traded.

The street price of the rune scimitar was dropped to 18 000 coins, due to the Grand exchange. Beforehand, it was at a steady 30 000 coins.
