Rune bar

Rune bars are the highest tier of bars. They are used to smith rune armor and weapons using the Smithing skill.

Smithing rune equipment is the best way to train Smithing, though it requires the highest levels to create. You can start smithing rune at level 85. Because of the Shooting Star (Distraction and Diversions) [D&D], obtaining Runite ore is much easier. Rune armour is also a trend in "welfare" gear, due to the fact that one can buy rune armour cheaply from Horvik (can be found in the Varrock armoury). It is commonly used in PvP situations.

When a player is smithing rune armour, it's highly recommended to smith rune knives to save inventory space and bars; this is the slowest but most efficient way to train Smithing using Rune bars.

Rune armour is the highest tier of smithable armour available.
