No, It is rune. Just covered in gold. I just want to know if I can equip it without doing Dragon Slayer, before I ruin my combat level By getting my Def up, then further ruining it by getting all that strength XP. Edit: I am talking about the Gilded from the Treasure Trails, not Castle Wars. It's not rune It only has same stats as rune and has a different name. Proof: Gilded Plate/ Rune Plate Read the note for both of them. Did you read the note? Edit: I got beatin to it And it says nothing about Dragon Slayer on the Gilded page. And I can't find any place that says explicitly that you need to do dragon slayer to equip gilded. I just want to know if anybody has equipped a Gilded Plate without completing Dragion Slayer
