Rune kiteshield

The Rune kiteshield is the best smithable kiteshield, requiring 40 Defence to wield. A player with 97 Smithing can make the shield by using three rune bars and a hammer on an anvil, granting 225 Smithing experience.

The rune kiteshield is often used as a tank shield for void rangers, despite the negative ranged attack bonus, it is much cheaper, and has better defence bonuses than the Odium ward.
