Banite ore is an ore that can be obtained through mining banite rocks, requiring level 80 Mining, in various places around RuneScape.
Banite is required to craft bane bars. These bars can be tuned to inflict greater damage against certain varieties of monsters using ranged attacks. This modification is done by using the Tune Banite Ore spell along with a piece of the monster that the player wishes to kill, such as dragon bones, or an abyssal demon head.
As players increase their Mining level and use higher tier pickaxes, they are able to mine banite at quicker rates.
Banite, like other mining resources, can be stored in an ore box. 100 banite can be stored in a bane ore box or higher. This capacity is increased by 20 at level 85 Mining and a further 20 with the completion of the Everything Is Oresome achievement.
History[edit | edit source]
The Kethsians were the first to discover banite ore on the Outer Planes and learned to magically 'tune' the ore against certain creatures, such as dragons. The Kethsians were able to forge banite ore into both bolts and arrows for use in combat. [1]
The Fremennik discovered banite ore on the island of Jatizso during the Fifth Age. While the Fremennik were able to smelt the ore, they were unable to make use of it until the warrior Koschei forged a great axe named Balmung out of the ore, in the process 'tuning' it against dagannoths.[2]
In the Sixth Age, Koschei trained a handful of Fremennik smiths to make melee weapons and armour out of the metal which could be 'tuned' against specific races of creature. [3]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- 82 Smithing is required to smith the bolts on an anvil, despite the skill guide showing 80, with 82 Fletching being needed to add feathers to unfinished bolts. This process can be assisted.
- Prior to the Evolution of Combat, it was possible to apply weapon poisons to bane bolts and arrows, but only 5 arrows/bolts would be coated from one vial.
- In the miniquest Koschei's Troubles, Kharshai reveals that Balmung was actually made from banite ore and then tuned to Dagannoth. However, players cannot currently tune bane ore to Dagannoth.
- Prior to the release of Hero's Welcome, the only source of this ore was the Glacor cave.
- When speaking to Kharshai after Hero's Welcome, Kharshai reveals that banite ore possesses some sentience and is capable of "hating" creatures it is attuned to, with a side effect being boosted damage.
- Banite ore was originally called bane ore and untradeable before the Mining and Smithing Rework.
- The name is perhaps a reference to the real-world microstructure, bainite. It also puns on the word bane, "a person or thing that ruins or spoils".
