Rune 2h sword

The rune two-handed sword is a two-handed sword stronger than the adamant two-handed sword. It can only be used in combat. It is also the strongest two-handed sword available to free players as well as a knockout weapon used by many in the Wilderness. Players can make a rune two-handed sword with the smithing skill at level 99 using three rune bars, giving the player 250 smithing experience. When you high alch this, you will get 12,800 coins per bar.

Although it is considered one of the best weapons on RuneScape Classic, and the free-to-play part of the main RuneScape game, it is not often used in pay-to-play due to its slow speed and being weaker than the Dragon longsword, which is often the first dragon item used by new members.

The rune two-hander is the strongest melee weapon usable by players on non-members' servers. It is also the most expensive weapon in non-members server and the second most popular weapon both in terms of marketing and combat use - behind only the rune scimitar. At one point, it was the single most powerful weapon in the game.

Trivia

 * The Rune two-handed sword was originally meant to be a members only weapon, but due to opposition from the smithing community, it remained free and members were given the Dragon longsword instead.
