Rune berserker shield

The Rune berserker shield is a reward that can be purchased with tokens from the Fist of Guthix minigame. It requires 45 defence to wield, and when charged gives slightly higher defensive bonuses than a Rune kiteshield, coupled with a strength bonus. It is generally accepted as the best melee shield available to non-members. This shield is also comparable to the Toktz-ket-xil,(obsidian shield) except that the Rune berserker shield has a lower strength bonus, a much lower ranged defence bonus and is arguably more difficult to acquire. Like Barrows equipment its bonuses will only decrease after the shield has completely degraded to 0%, but unlike Barrows equipment it does so after only 6 hours of solid combat. When completely degraded, or uncharged, it will have worse defence bonuses than a Black kiteshield but will retain a +2 strength bonus and become tradable. It will cost 50 Fist of Guthix tokens to recharge it again. When first released, its price skyrocketed from 150k to almost 340k. It has since fell to 110k and appears to be stabilising around that price point.
