'''Rune equipment''' are items made from [[Metal#Basic metals|runite metal]] and is the best equipment in [[free-to-play]] worlds. It is stronger than [[adamant equipment]], but weaker than [[dragon equipment]]. Rune equipment can be distinguished by the metal's teal colour. Rune armour requires 40 [[Defence]] to wield; weapons require 40 [[Attack]].

Originally, rune equipment was widely criticised as being "too expensive", especially to [[free players]]. However, in recent times, due to rapidly falling prices, the vast majority of players can afford a full set of rune by the time they meet the equip requirements. Variations of rune armour, such as [[Rune trimmed armour|trimmed]], [[Rune gold-trimmed armour|gold-trimmed]], [[Gilded armour|gilded]], [[Rune heraldic armour|heraldic]], or [[Rune god armour|armour in the colour of the gods]] are awarded completing [[clue scrolls]]. These were originally incredibly rare, but developer expansions and the increased popularity of the [[Treasure Trails]] minigame have led to an abundance of these items.

==Weapons==
'''Rune weapons''' require an [[Attack]] level of 40 to wield with the exception of the rune warhammer which requires a Strength level of 40 instead. They are the best weapons available to free players.

==Armour==
'''Rune armour''' is the highest-quality non-degradable [[armour]] that [[free-to-play]] players can wear, and the second-highest quality armour on the standard metallic armour spectrum ([[Bronze equipment#Armour|bronze]] to [[Dragon equipment#Armour|dragon]]). Rune armour requires 40 [[Defence]] to wear and [[Dragon Slayer I]] to wear the [[rune platebody]], but only 40 Defence to wear all other pieces (thus, Dragon Slayer I need not be completed). With a full set costing around {{NoCoins|{{GEP|Rune armour set (lg)}}|c}}, the armour provides excellent Defence for its price, making it the best choice for warriors with level 40 Defence.

==Other==
Ornamental rune armour, such as [[Rune heraldic armour|heraldic]], [[Rune trimmed armour|trimmed]], [[Rune god armour|god armour]], and [[gilded armour]] have the same bonuses as standard rune armour, with the addition of a +1 [[prayer bonus]] on god armour, and the exception of the ranged attack bonus of the god and trimmed variants of the kiteshield being -2 rather than -3. These can be obtained from the member's only [[Treasure Trails]] minigame. These armour sets are often worn by more wealthy players due to their looks and price.

'''Note:''' Other players '''''cannot''''' trim or bless armour. Players claiming to do so are [[scammer]]s.

==Trivia==
*All the [[Rune god armour|god]], [[Rune trimmed armour|trimmed]], [[Rune heraldic armour|heraldic]], and [[Gilded equipment|gilded]] versions of rune have the same exact stats as regular rune, with the interesting exception of the god and trimmed variants of the rune kiteshield: these have a ranged attack bonus of -2, as opposed to the -3 stat shared by all the others. Apart from that, the only other difference is that God armour has a +1 [[Prayer bonus]] per piece.
*[[Rune claws]] and [[Rune thrownaxe|throwing axes]] are the only rune weapons to have a [[special attack]].
*When the concept of Rune armour was first developed, the initial colour was supposed to be purple, however this was later changed to teal.
