[[File:Rune crossbow detail.png|left|150px|a detailed image of a rune crossbow.]]
The '''rune crossbow''' is the highest grade of crossbow made out of standard metal and the 5th most accurate of all [[crossbows]], behind the [[Armadyl crossbow]], [[chaotic crossbow]], [[royal crossbow]] and the [[dominion crossbow]]. It requires a [[Ranged]] level of 61 to wield, can use [[bolts]] up to [[Runite bolt|runite]] and is for [[members]] only.

Rune crossbows can be made through the [[Fletching]] skill at level 69; a player must first cut a [[yew stock]] for the crossbow from [[yew logs]], granting 50 [[Fletching]] [[experience]]. Then, a player must add [[rune crossbow limbs]] to the stock, granting 100 experience and making an [[unstrung rune crossbow]]. Finally, they must string the crossbow with [[crossbow string]], granting 50 experience. The rune crossbow is the third strongest crossbow in the game and one of the strongest range weapons overall, but it is slower than [[Karil's crossbow]]. However, as the latter degrades, is 2 handed, costs over 10 times more and is restricted to [[bolt racks|one type of ammo]], rune crossbow is generally regarded as a better choice. If it is combined with an [[unholy book]] or [[book of law]], it will surpass the [[dark bow]] in [[Ranged]] attack bonus, but lacks a special attack. It can also be wielded with a shield, similar to [[throwing knives]], allowing a significant defensive bonus. This allows for players to range while still keeping defensive abilities of shields such as an [[anti-dragon shield|anti-dragon]] or [[dragonfire shield]] when fighting [[dragons]].

You can buy rune crossbows from [[Holoy]] in the Dwarven Mines for 16,200 coins. They can also be obtained through completing Hard [[Treasure Trails]].

==Trivia==
*There is a common misconception that the higher grade of [[Crossbows|crossbow]], the higher the max hit will be. The crossbow itself determines accuracy only. The [[ammunition]], [[ranged]] level, the use of [[potions]], and [[prayer]] used is what determines the damage dealt and not which grade of crossbow is used. However, it does indirectly influence damage done, as the grade crossbow used decides how powerful the ammo you can use is.
