An ornate katana is a vanity item offered as an occasional in-game benefit from RuneScape Game Cards. This item used to be available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia as a bonus for redeeming a membership card during the promotional period. The item would have been automatically placed in the player's bank ---- and if they didn't have enough space, Diango would give it to the player. If it is lost, another may be reclaimed from Diango. The katana can be kept after the subscription has ended, but it is a members-only item.

This is the second item which can only be obtained by paying real world money e.g. dollars and pounds (after the flagstaff of festivities). The ornate katana was available for players in the United Kingdom who purchased a 90-day membership card between 8th and 31st of July 2011. According to the Update FAQ, the katana will also be used for other promotions, and was able to obtained a second time for purchasing a 30 day subscription through Game's GAMEwallet scheme. It was also available for a third time after buying and redeeming either the premium or deluxe packs from MCM Expo London 2012.

Its stats are identical to an iron 2h sword, though it has the same attack styles as a longsword. This katana, the auspicious katana, golden Katana, Eastern outfit and Cheongsam/Changsam outfits are currently the only known items to have come from the Eastern Lands.

Notes

  • Currently, the animation for an ornate katana's stab attack is simply a different slash attack.
  • Game cards purchased from GameStop before the promotion event began also contained katana as long as the cards were activated during the event.
  • Due to the way a player stands whilst wielding an ornate katana, the player's cape (if worn), goes through their left foot. This glitch has yet to be fixed.
  • Currently, there have only been four time periods in which an ornate katana was obtainable.
  • The ornate katana is one of only three katanas in the game, the other two being the auspicious and golden katana.
