About Rune sq shield

"A medium square shield."

Rune sq shield is the rune-tier medium square shield smithed from 2 runite bars at 96 Smithing, requiring 40 Defence to wield. Defensive stats are slightly below the Rune kiteshield across the board (e.g. +40 slash vs +48), but it weighs less at 3.628 kg vs 5.443 kg. Available in free-to-play; members usually skip it in favour of the Rune defender for offensive bonuses, while the Dragon sq shield is the direct upgrade.

Market Strategy

  • Supply driven by Smithing trainers at 96 levels
  • Steady F2P demand from low-budget tanks hitting 40 Defence
  • Buy limit of 70 supports moderate flipping volume
  • Outclassed by kiteshield and Rune defender, capping ceiling demand

Trading Tips

Track runite bar pricing; two bars set the production floor
Buy after Smithing XP rebalance announcements when supply spikes
Sell to F2P bond events when new accounts gear up
