Rune defender

The Rune defender is the second strongest defender available in the game, surpassed only by the Dragon defender. It is used for its attack bonus and is held in the off-hand slot, in place of a shield. It requires 40 Attack and 40 Defence to wield. The Rune defender is dropped by Cyclops on the top floor of the Warriors' Guild. Players have to show either their Adamant defender or Rune defender (players may obtain multiple Rune defenders if they want) to Kamfreena to obtain this as a drop. The Ring of wealth does not affect the chances of getting it as a drop. The Rune defender's slash and crush defensive bonuses are the same as a Black kiteshield; however, its stab defence bonus is slightly less than an Adamant square shield. It gives the same bonus to strength as the Obsidian shield, but it is much more commonly used when using melee due to its Attack bonuses for melee. A Rune defender is commonly combined with a Dragon Longsword, Dragon scimitar, Abyssal whip, Chaotic rapier or Chaotic Longsword for its strength and attack bonus. The rune or dragon defender must be wielded to fight the Cyclossus.
