Runite ore is obtained from mining runite rocks, requiring level 50 Mining, and grants 125 Mining experience. Runite can be smelted in a furnace with 1 Luminite and 1 runite ore to form a rune bar, requiring level 50 Smithing. Rune bars can be smithed into various types of rune weapons and armour.

Using the superior locator, created at level 81 Divination, players can teleport to one of five runite mines across RuneScape. Players should be aware that two out of the five possible locations are within the Wilderness, and the player may encounter player killers; no warning will be given upon activation of the locator.

History

Runite has 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.
