A rune sword is a medium-level sword made out of rune. Like all rune weapons, it requires 40 Attack to wield.
A rune sword can be created at level 89 Smithing using 1 rune bar, giving the player 75 Smithing experience.
Rune swords are ideal for non-member Ironmen as the only way to obtain a rune scimitar in a free-to-play world is to create it from scratch, requiring 90 Smithing (89 with a Dwarven stout), whereas a rune sword can be purchased from Scavvo's Rune Store in the Champions' Guild for a price of 20,800 after obtaining 32 quest points.
