Spirit rune

A drop from any Bandos follower in the GWD. Bandos Spiritual mages drop them very often. The rune has currently no use, but it is suggested to keep this rune if you find one, because there will be a new spell for this rune. This rune cannot be crafted.

The Bandos Rune is the first so called "God Rune". There are other runes like the:


 * Saradomin Rune*
 * Guthix Rune*
 * Zamorak Rune*
 * Armadyl Rune*
 * Zaros Rune*
 * Jas Rune*
 * Seren Rune*
 * Menaphite Rune*


 * means, that this rune has not been released yet, but it will be in a short time. This was stated by a Jagex mod in the forums.

People think, that there will be new spellbooks for each god. Other think, that there will be new weapons and armour which can be charged with this runes. Just one day after it's release, people found a use for it. If it is used with the Bandos Altar in the GWD Boss Chamber, it raises your prayer level by 1 for each rune and possible to boost your prayer level over your current level. This also sets your Bandos kc to 0. You can only use 20 runes at once. This is to avoid people to take massive amounts (like 1K) and use it, having a massive high prayer level.

Trivia

 * A new altar has appeared near the GWD-entrance. There are some planets painted on it. People believe, that god runes will be craftable some time. Jagex has confirmed, that these runes will not be craftable.
 * At first, this rune was just 250 coins worth. It's price increased to 10K at the first 5 days. After the people had no use for it, they sold them, making the price decrease to it's current state. Some people keep these runes in believe, they will be more worth when they have a use.
 * It is the first "God Rune".
 * The first day, the examine text was "a spell." This was fixed 2 days later.
 * This rune was released without an update message, making the first people to recieve it kinda suprised.
 * The other "God Runes" will be released within the GWD-Extension.
 * If you use this rune with any other altar in RuneScape, it will explode, doing 5-12 damage.
 * After 2 days, this rune is no longer dropped. Jagex noted, that the other runes and it's use will soon be released, that the Bandos rune will be untradeable and all current runes in the g.E. won't be sold during this time. This is to prevent the Bandos raising in price to high. Jagex stated, that it's release was unwanted and caused by a stupid Jage staff. People guess, that this guy as been fired.
