Rune throwing axe



The Rune thrownaxe, like all throwing axes, is a members-only Ranged throwing weapon and is the third most powerful type of throwing axe. To wield a rune thrownaxe the player must have at least 40 Ranged. They can be obtained either by buying from the Tribal Weapons store at the Ranging Guild, looting from a ninja impling, or trading with another player. The rune thrownaxe can be wielded with a shield or god book for protection.

The rune throwing axe has a special attack called Chain Hit. This attack sends the rune thrownaxe flying, hitting multiple targets (max 6) and using 10% of the special bar for each target it hits. It should be noted that the special attack only seems to hit those further away from the player than the initial target. It can also be used to knock down the doors to get to the ladder in the east part of Waterbirth Island dungeon. As with all throwing axes, the rune throwing axe looks somewhat like the battleaxe of the same metal. But, during the special attack, for a few moments, the rune throwing axe looks like a steel battleaxe. The rune throwing axe special is a useful method to gain the Yt-HurKots' attention in the TzHaar Fight Cave. Also, if used when your back is to a wall the special attack is an instant miss.

All thrownaxes with the exception of Morrigan's are mostly considered useless by players for combat, as a shortbow or composite bow can fire at the same speed or faster, and have better accuracy and the arrows have more power and are much easier to buy or replace. However the unique special attack of the rune thrownaxe, and the fact that it is one-handed, makes it useful in certain situations.

 * When the special attack is used, multiple rune thrownaxes could be seen if it struck multiple targets.
