Runite ore is an ore that can be obtained through mining runite rocks, requiring level 50 Mining, in various places around RuneScape.

Runite is required to craft rune bars. As players increase their Mining level and use higher tier pickaxes, they are able to mine runite at quicker rates.

Runite, like other mining resources, can be stored in an ore box. 100 runite can be stored in a rune ore box or higher. This capacity is increased by 20 at level 55 Mining and a further 20 with the completion of the Everything Is Oresome achievement.

History

Runite was known for a long time, although it was not used at first, with runite being a rather weak metal. In the Second Age, Saradominist dwarves discovered that runite ore smelted with luminite, while not physically stronger, projected an invisible energy field around it. This energy field would damage anything that comes into sudden contact with the item, which was found to be rather useful for making weapons and armour, although not much else.

The magical properties of the metal gave rise to a belief that it was a gift from Saradomin himself. With runestones being subject to similar beliefs, the ore and metal came to be known as runite and rune, repectively. Even though it turned out the metal had no connection with runestones, the name ended up persisting.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 7 January 2019 (Update):
  • Runite now uses luminite rather than coal as the secondary ingredient for smelting. Luminite can be mined at mining level 40.

• patch 9 November 2010 (Update):
  • Adamant/rune bars are no longer listed as adamantite/runite, as these are the names of the ores, not the metal.

• update 13 August 2001 (Update):
  • Added to game.

Trivia

• Runite ore used to be called rune ore.
• Runite is considered a delicacy to dragons, as discovered in the Varrock Museum.
