The '''Rapier''' is a very thin sword, most effective for piercing. Its speed is that of a [[shortsword]]. It was used by [[Gentleman Mallard]] until his disappearance at sea. The sword was later found by [[Smith]] of [[Mos Le'Harmless]], who will sell it to players for 25,600 [[coins]], so you need to complete Cabin Fever first. The stab and slash attack bonuses of the rapier are opposite compared to the [[Rune scimitar]].

To be able to understand Smith and purchase the rapier, the player must either have a [[Book o' piracy]] in their inventory or have completed the [[Rocking Out]] quest. Talk to Smith and select the ''cutlasses'' option in the dialogue box.

Players require level 40 [[Attack]] to wield the rapier. It is the stabbing brother of the [[rune scimitar]] and can be used as an alternative by members. The rapier is one of the most effective one-handed weapons for stabbing.

==Trivia==
*The examine text is a reference to Tybalt, spoken by Mercutio in the Shakespeare play [[wikipedia:Romeo and Juliet|Romeo and Juliet]] while describing him as the very butcher of a silk button. 'Rapier' is also what swords are called by some of the characters during the play.
*The 'Rapier' once had the stab/slash bonuses switched; but as of December 29, 2008, the slash bonuses have been replaced with the current stab bonuses.
*This sword can be used effectively for fighting [[Dragons]], as they are weak against stab attacks and the Rapier has a better stab bonus than all one-handed [[Dragon equipment]] except the [[dragon longsword]], which is over twice as expensive and slightly slower.
*This is the signature weapon of [[Harrallak Menarous]].
*Before the release of [[Dungeoneering]], this was the only rapier in-game that players could wield.
