Off-hand rune scimitar

The Off-hand rune scimitar is an item similar to the Rune scimitar except that it is equipped to the shield slot. This means another scimitar (or any other single handed weapon) can be wielded at the same time, allowing a player to hit twice as quickly at the cost of any defence bonuses from a shield. Players with a lower defence level commonly use off-handed weapons to train, as killing something twice as quickly means half the damage taken, so less food will be used.

The Off-hand rune scimitar can be created via the Smithing skill at level 90 from 2 rune bars, providing 150 Smithing experience.
