[[File:Rune kiteshield detail.png|100px|left|A detailed image of the Rune kiteshield.]]
A '''Rune kiteshield''' provides medium [[Defence]] bonuses and is wielded in the shield slot. It was the strongest kiteshield in [[free play]] until the [[Rune berserker shield]] was released with [[Fist of Guthix]]. However, the rune kiteshield is favoured over the berserker shield because it does not degrade over time and is much cheaper. During the 2001 Christmas event in which [[partyhat]]s were obtained by pulling a [[Christmas cracker]], these shields were frequently received. This item is dropped by several high-level monsters (such as [[fire giant]]s and [[steel dragon]]s) although such drops are very rare. Before the introduction of higher level shields, rune kiteshields were fairly rare due to the high Smithing requirement needed to make them.

To wield this item, a player must have at least 40 Defence. It can be smithed with a [[Smithing]] level of 97 by using 3 [[rune bar]]s and a hammer at an anvil, granting 225 Smithing experience.

Rune kiteshields can be painted with a [[banner easel|banner]] or [[shield easel]] at the [[workshop]] of any [[Player-owned house]], changing the shield's appearance to the chosen family crest of the player, provided the player has level 43 [[Crafting]].

==Crest kiteshields==
[[File:Arrav-heraldic-armour-equipped.png|thumb|A player with an Arrav crest shield]]

'''Crest kiteshields''' (see [[Sir Renitee]] for more information) can be obtained by painting a normal rune kiteshield on a [[Shield easel]] in a [[Player-owned house]]. All the different variations of shields have the same bonuses as a normal rune kiteshield. Constructing a [[Shield easel]] requires 41 [[Construction]]. If you do not have a Shield easel, you may use another player's.

Note that painting the crest on the kiteshields turns them into members-only items, and untradeable. You can also make a crest shield using a [[steel kiteshield]], and they look identical, however they have different bonuses. There are a total of 16 shields to choose from.

'''Note: You cannot remove a crest or paint over it once it has been applied.'''
