Death rune

The Death rune is used for blast spells, the highest level combat spells available in the free-to-play version of RuneScape, including Wind Blast, Water Blast, Earth Blast, and Fire Blast. Death runes generally cost over 250 coins each. Death runes are also in great demand with mages that cast Ancient Magicks, as they are used in all Ancient combat spells.

These are also the highest rune stocked in any store in free-to-play, and can only be crafted by members after completing Mourning's Ends Part II. However recently, people, or bots, have begun buying all the death runes available in the rune shops, and so usually there will usually be 0 left in stock. This is no longer an issue now, due to the new shopping system installed by Jagex.

Adult cats can be exchanged by any civilian for 100 death runes in West Ardougne.
