Rune hasta

The rune hasta is a one handed melee weapon, similar to the spear. It is member's only and can only be used in combat. 40 Attack is required to wield this weapon. Although Hastae offer negative defensive bonuses, the fact that they can be used with a shield provides more defence than a normal spear.To obtain a rune hasta the player can either create one using the Smithing skill or trade with another player. The rune hasta can be poisoned.

To create a rune hasta the player needs to have completed training with Otto Godblessed, have at least 90 Smithing, some magic logs, a rune bar, and a hammer. The player then needs to use the bar on an Barbarian anvil to make the rune hasta. There are only two locations of Barbarian anvils, one being in the Barbarian Village west of Varrock and one in Otto Godblesseds home. This will grant the player 150 Smithing experience.
