Rune longsword



The Rune longsword is a longsword stronger than the Adamant longsword. Like all Rune weapons, it requires 40 attack to wield. It is also the second strongest longsword available to free players after the Corrupt dragon longsword. The Rune longsword can do more damage and is more accurate than the Rune scimitar since it has a higher strength and slash bonus, however, it attack a slightly slower rate. It also possesses the highest defensive bonuses of any free-to-play rune weapon. In pay-to-play it is exceeded by Rune claws.

Players can make a Rune longsword with the Smithing skill at level 91 using two Rune bars, giving the player 150 Smithing experience. When you cast the spell High Alchemy on this item you will get 19,200 coins. It is recommended that you use this weapon during the Dragon Slayer quest as it has the best stab attack for non-members. Before the Rune scimitar made a popularity breakthrough, the Rune longsword was the most popular weapon used by free-to-play players. The Rune longsword is the recommended weapon for free players that wish to slay NPC's, although players with higher strength levels may prefer to use rune scimitars due to their speed.

The rune longsword is MUCH better for it's level when you compare it to longswords of lower level, as the rune one, unlike ones below adamantite, has more slash bonus than scimitar. This might be because of the defence bonus of longsword is less useful at higher levels. But anyway, it is a strong weapon against all but the most heavily armoured foes, good on taking down both rangers and other warriors.

It can be bought from Scavvo in the Champions' Guild or the weapon shop in Keldagrim or obtained as rewards from Level 3 Treasure trails. It's recommaded to consider longsword as opinion to scimitar when pk:ing, not only it has VERY little difference to rune scimitar when in no armour fights, but it is also cheaper in street prices and has more capablity to battle with armoured foes.
