This is the second best square shield available after the Dragon sq shield, but it highly recommended to use a Rune kiteshield at 50-59 Defence instead as it has a higher Armour Bonus.
The shield also provides bonuses to ranged and magic defense, offering protection against projectile and spell attacks. The main advantage of the Rune square shield is its high durability. It has a fairly high armor rating, meaning that it can absorb a significant amount of damage before breaking.

Reviews for "The Role of Runemasters in Crafting Rune Square Shields"
1. John - 2 stars
I found the Rune square shield to be quite disappointing. Despite its high defensive stats, I felt that it was far too heavy and bulky to be practical in combat. It slowed down my movement and hindered my ability to dodge attacks effectively. Additionally, the shield's design felt uninspired and lacked the intricate detailing that other shields in the game possess. Overall, I would not recommend the Rune square shield to players looking for a reliable and agile defense option.
2. Sarah - 1 star
The Rune square shield was a huge letdown for me. Not only did it fail to protect me adequately, but its durability was abysmal. It broke after only a few battles, forcing me to constantly spend time and resources repairing it. Moreover, the shield's high level requirements make it inaccessible for lower-level players, which limits its usefulness. I would advise players to steer clear of this shield and invest in more durable and cost-effective alternatives.
3. Michael - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Rune square shield given its reputation, but it fell short of my expectations. While it offers decent defense, its lack of offensive bonuses makes it an unattractive option for players who prefer a more well-rounded playstyle. Additionally, its hefty price tag makes it difficult to justify the investment when there are other shields available at a fraction of the cost and with comparable defensive capabilities. Overall, I found the Rune square shield to be underwhelming and not worth the hype.
