Rune 2h sword

The Rune two-handed sword is a two-handed sword, which is 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 and also serves as a "knockout weapon" for many in the Bounty Hunter mini-game. Players can make a rune two-handed sword using the smithing skill at level 99, using three rune bars, giving the player 250 smithing experience. When you high alch this, you will receive 12,800 coins per bar. Also, it costs about coins more to buy at the Grand Exchange than the Adamant two-handed sword. (The rune two-handed sword is about coins and the adamant two-handed sword is about ).

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 its inadequate strength bonus, being only 1 point less than the Dragon longsword, which is often the first dragon item purchased and used by new members.

Being the strongest melee weapon usable by players on non-members' servers, it is 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.

Free players are now able to obtain the rune two-hander as an extremely rare drop from Level 83 Cockroach soldiers in the Stronghold of Player Safety.

Trivia

 * The Rune two-handed sword existed in very early versions of RuneScape and was given to some testers. After it was deemed "too powerful", it was removed. Also, in the beginning version of RuneScape, the Rune two-handed sword was sometimes sold for 1 million gp each.


 * When the Rune Two-Handed sword was put back into the game, this weapon was used by nearly all pkers capable of wielding it, because in Runescape Classic there were no weapon speeds.


 * The Rune 2h sword has a glitch that occurs randomly when fighting at the duel arena or other places. It shows the player wielding it only with one hand, similar to as seen before the update.
