How to Obtain the Elusive Rusty Sword in Old School RuneScape
Old School RuneScape is filled with unique items that are essential for completing quests, unlocking new items, and finishing Achievement Diaries. One such item is the Rusty Sword, an untradable necessity for completing the Easy Tier Ardougne Achievement Diary.
The origin of the Rusty Sword may be vague, but obtaining one is not as challenging as it may seem. Players have several options for acquiring a Rusty Sword in OSRS, whether it’s through the Fishing Trawler minigame, thieving from NPCs, excavating Level 1 Dig Sites, or simply as a monster drop.
Fishing Trawler Minigame
In OSRS, participating in the Fishing Trawler minigame provides players with a chance to obtain a Rusty Sword. This minigame, traditionally used to unlock the Angler’s Outfit, offers various rewards including the elusive Rusty Sword. With a common drop rate, players are likely to acquire a Rusty Sword while pursuing the Angler’s Outfit.
Thieving From NPCs
For players who prefer to avoid combat, stealing from certain NPCs in Old School RuneScape presents an opportunity to get a Rusty Sword. With low Thieving level requirements, players can target HAM Members, HAM Guards, or Ogre Coffins to secure this unique item.
Excavating From The Dig Site
Players who have partially completed “The Dig Site” quest can embark on a journey to dig at Level 1 Dig Sites for a chance to unearth a Rusty Sword. Armed with Leather Gloves, Leather Boots, and a Trowel, players can increase their odds of finding this elusive item.
Killing NPCs
In desperate times, defeating specific monsters within Old School RuneScape may yield a Rusty Sword as a drop. While some monsters are low-level and easy to defeat, others pose a more formidable challenge, making this method a last resort for acquiring the Rusty Sword.
Unlocking the Potential of the Rusty Sword
Despite its appearance, a Rusty Sword cannot be equipped as a weapon in Old School RuneScape. Instead, players have the option to repair and inspect the sword through different means, resulting in a random sword ranging from Bronze to Mithril. Bringing the Rusty Sword to Tindel Marchant near the Fishing Trawler minigame or using it on a Whetstone in a Player Owned House are two ways to reveal its true value.
