The rune spear is a two-handed melee weapon requiring 40 Attack to wield. Unlike most other rune equipment, rune spears are members-only. Rune spears can be created at a barbarian anvil with 90 Smithing, requiring one runite bar and one magic log, as well as partial completion of the Barbarian Training miniquest. Like most spears, the rune spear can be poisoned.

A rune spear is also a requirement for a hard clue scroll. Ironmen can acquire it by completing Tai Bwo Wannai Trio for a rune spear (kp) then using a cleaning cloth on it, or by buying it from Mount Karuulm Weapon Shop.

This item is a rare drop from the rare drop table. Wearing a ring of wealth will increase the chances of receiving one from the rare drop table.
