Claws

Claws can be smithed after completing the Death Plateau Quest. Claws are comparable to daggers in attack, accuracy, and speed, and they provide a reasonable Defence bonus, but have a few drawbacks. Because they are two-handed, a shield or prayer book cannot be equipped at the same time. They are also more expensive, as the higher quality versions require a higher level to smith. These disadvantages make them quite an unpopular weapon. Rune claws are the only claws that have a special attack. They are one of only two Rune weapons with a special attack - "Impale". It is more powerful and more accurate, although slower, than a normal attack. Some players carry Rune Claws with them when they go into the Wilderness to perform miscellaneous tasks, such as mining.
