Rune defender card — frequently asked
- How rare is the Rune defender card in the OSRS TCG?
- Rune defender is a Epic card. Packs in the TCG plugin land on a Epic card about 8% of the time. Rarity is not assigned by hand: every card is scored from the in-game item's value, or from a monster's combat level, and the tiers are percentile bands within its own group — items are ranked against items and monsters against monsters, because a boss's level and an item's price are not the same measure.
- What is the Rune defender card worth?
- The in-game item is worth 65 004 gp, which gives the card a score of 65,004 and puts it in the Epic tier. What it is worth to trade is whatever another player will give for it.
- How do I get the Rune defender card?
- Open packs in the OSRS TCG RuneLite plugin and hope for the pull, or trade for it. A Standard Pack costs 2,500 credits — earned by playing Old School RuneScape — and reveals 5 cards, each with a 1% chance by default of coming out foil. On OSRS Card Exchange you can post an exchange offering a card you have spare and asking for Rune defender, and anyone holding one can make you an offer.
- Can I trade the Rune defender card with another player?
- Yes. This site matches the two of you and hands over a party passphrase; the cards themselves change hands in the TCG plugin's own Trade window in game, not on the website and not through the standard in-game trade screen.
