Rune platebody

Rune platebody is a tier 50 free-to-play item worn in the body slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 2,500 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Rune platebody is to buy it: Armour Store in Keldagrim sells it for 41,680 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 50 Smithing and gives 1,200 Smithing XP, using 5 × Rune bar. Other sources include Animated Rune Armour, Mystery box (random events), Casket (CS Week) and Security casket (CS Week), plus 2 more listed below. Where the materials come from: Rune bar (made with 50 Smithing). Making ten takes 50 × Rune bar and gives 12,000 Smithing XP. Reaching level 50 Smithing takes 101,333 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. 2 recipes use Rune platebody, including Rune armour stand and Rune platebody + 1. It is worn in the body slot at tier 50 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Body list. Rune platebody is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 2,500 coins, which is 39,180 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
