Rune kiteshield

A Rune kiteshield provides medium Defence bonuses and is worn in the 'shield' slot. It was the strongest kiteshield in free play until the Rune berserker shield and the Corrupt dragon sq shield were released. Nonetheless, as the Rune kiteshield does not degrade over time, it is still favoured among players.

To wield this item, a player's Defence level must be 40 or higher. It can be smithed at a Smithing level of 97, with 3 rune bars and a hammer at an anvil, granting the player 225 Smithing experience. Rune kiteshields can be painted on a banner or shield easel at the workshop of a Player-owned house, changing the shield's appearance to the chosen family crest of the player, providing the player has level 43 Crafting.
