Rune (2)

Your go-to guide for the Rune 2-handed Sword in RuneScape Classic! Learn its stats, how to get it, and why it's a solid choice for combat.

Alright, let's talk about the Rune 2-handed Sword, often called a 'rune 2h' or 'r2h'. This bad boy is the strongest two-handed sword and the third-best melee weapon overall in RuneScape Classic, right behind the Dragon axe and Dragon sword. You'll need level 40 Attack to even think about wielding it. If you're feeling ambitious and have maxed out your Smithing to level 99, you can actually make this sword yourself! It takes 3 runite bars and will net you 225 Smithing experience. Pretty neat if you're going for those high Smithing levels. Now, here's something interesting: in RuneScape 2, this sword is mostly used as a 'knock-out' weapon because weapon speeds differ. But in RuneScape Classic? It's a different story. Since all weapons swing at the same speed here, the rune 2h is a fantastic general combat weapon, especially if you haven't gotten your hands on any dragon weapons yet, or if you don't need the extra armor from a shield. ## Bonuses This sword packs a punch with some solid stats: | Bonuses | Aim | Power | Magic | Prayer | |---|---|---|---|---| | — | 70 | 70 | — | — | ## Dropped By If smithing isn't your thing, you can try your luck fighting some tough monsters.
