A detailed image of some runite limbs.

Runite limbs are required to make a rune crossbow. They can be smithed from a Rune bar at Smithing level 91, granting 75 experience. Rune crossbow limbs can be attached to a yew stock at Fletching level 69 with a hammer, granting 100 experience, to make an unstrung rune crossbow. They are a common drop from Metal dragons and a rare drop from Aviansies.

Note that the High Alch value of the complete crossbow is only 120 coins more than the limbs alone. It is more economically sound to use the yew log for a yew long and alch it rather than use it on a rune crossbow. The limbs cost around 8,000 coins up to 12,000 coins and can be at times hard to buy or sell.

Trivia

• After an update made by Jagex changing the in-game name of the runite bar to rune bar (to avoid confusion), this item held its original name.
• After completing Elite tasks in Ardougne, players have a small chance to make 2 runite limbs from 1 bar when smithing them on anvil in Yanille.
