Rune scimitar



The rune scimitar is the strongest non-degradable scimitar available to free players. Like all rune weapons, it requires 40 Attack to wield. The scimitar's main attack style is the Slash attack style. It is also the second strongest scimitar available to free players, behind the Corrupt dragon scimitar. Players can make a rune scimitar with a Smithing level of 90 using 2 rune bars, giving the player 150 Smithing experience. Due to its high damage per second ratio, it is often considered the best training weapon available to free players.

When compared to the rune longsword, the scimitar is often viewed as the superior weapon. The scimitar tends to hit more damage over time as a result of the increased attack speed, making the scimitar a more efficient training weapon than the longsword. This, in addition with the attractive style of the scimitar, have made it the most popular and most used non-members weapon in the game. The gravite 2h sword is confirmed to have the speed of a battle axe, making it more damage/second and far more accurate if used on crush. However, the rune scimitar may still be very effective as a training weapon, as you may use a shield, it does not degrade, and it offers the option to simultaneously train Attack, Strength, and Defence.

The rune scimitar is commonly used in PvP Combat. It is commonly considered one of the best weapons in the game, as for a rune weapon, it's slash bonuses are comparable to some dragon weapons.

Prior to the introduction of the Grand Exchange, these scimitars were considerably more valuable than they are today. This is mainly due to the increase in availability and ease of access that this update brought. Since the release of Free Trade, its price has dropped from around 30k to 15k.

Trivia

 * The Rune Scimitar now has the same "Slash" and "Stab" animation as the Dragon Scimitar as of the April 15, 2011 update.
 * On 28 July 2009, the Animation Pack 1 update changed the appearance and attack animations of the Rune Scimitar to what it currently is today in order to make combat look more realistic, as well as the Godswords, the Dragon scimitar, the Rune and Dragon longsword and the Abyssal whip.
 * On 23 July 2009, five days before the scheduled update, the Rune scimitar image in the Grand Exchange Database was replaced by the new model. Players found the image and posted about it in the RuneScape Forums, making it widely known before Jagex removed the image a few hours later. Five days later the image was once again put up along with the official release.
