Black weapons

Black weapons are weapons in runescape that are unsmithable, and fairly valuable but not outrageously so. They can be obtained from level-1 treasure trails and certain shops. Understandably, the ones not available in shops are considered more valuable. Their place in combat rankings is not too high, the weapons and armour require a mere level 10 in attack and defense respectively to wield, although they are rarely used in battle because of their rarity and general poorness in comparison to other weapon types such as runite or dragon. Mostly black armour is worn when doing things other than combat, to show off the relative wealth of the player concerned.
