File:Bandos helmet chathead.png
The **Bandos helmet** is a piece of the Bandos armour set. It requires 70 Defence to wear and is classed as Power armour.

The Bandos helmet offers better protection than the Dragon full helm, and also provides a Strength bonus. It is currently the second best non-degrading melee head slot item, after the Mighty slayer helmet (aside from those in Dungeoneering and Stealing Creation, and the hybrid armour Vanguard helm and Battle-mage helm).

When received with CoinShare active, the Bandos helmet will be dropped as 120 Bandos helmet shards split evenly among the players and sent directly to their banks. 120 shards can be combined to create this item.
Bandosian battle-mage

[view]
**Bandos battle-mages** are members of Bandos' army who take place in fighting off armadylean battle-mages and bodyguards within a skirmish during the world event, "The Bird And the Beast". They can be fought by players who arrive to the skirmish area in time to assist Armadyl and gain renown and sacred metal fragments.

They can be seen fighting against armadylean battle-mages, bodyguards and ambushers during skirmishes.

Barricade

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Barricade detail.png
A **barricade** is an item used in the Castle Wars and Soul Wars minigames as portable obstacles to restrict enemy movement.
The barricades have a set-up option that places the item on the ground below you as an attackable object with 5,000 life points (10,000 in Soul Wars).
Each team in the minigame can have a maximum of 10 barricades set up. If the limit is reached, players on that team cannot set up more barricades unless some of the previously set up barricades are destroyed.
Players cannot walk through barricades placed in that manner, and must destroy it by attacking, lighting it with a tinderbox, or using an explosive potion with it.
Players gain no experience from attacking barricades.
If you have reached your barricade limit a message in your chat box will inform you so. They are immune to poison.

Bandos plateskirt

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Bandos plateskirt detail.png
The **Bandos plateskirt** is a decorated rune plateskirt that is affiliated with the god Bandos. Sharing the same stats as the rune plateskirt, the Bandos plateskirt also looks visually similar. Its appearance differs in that the skirt features an ornamental white trim around the symbol of Bandos. The plateskirt requires 50 defence to wear and **cannot** be made using the smithing skill. Players can obtain a Bandos plateskirt as a reward from completing a level 4 Treasure Trail.

This plateskirt is a constituent of the Bandos armour set which consists of the following items: Bandos full helm, Bandos platebody, Bandos platelegs or Bandos plateskirt and Bandos kiteshield—all of which are decorative versions of their respective rune armour counterparts. Players wielding any piece featured in this set of armour will cause followers of Bandos to become unaggressive upon entering the God Wars Dungeon.

Basiliskbane ore

Basiliskbane ore
 Weight | 2.2 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
**Basiliskbane ore** is made by casting Tune Bane Ore on a Basilisk item with Bane ore in the inventory, requiring 87 Magic and giving 90 experience. The basilisk head can be in the inventory, or in a player's house. Doing so brings up a Make-X menu, allowing all of the ores to be attuned in one click, immediately. With 77 Smithing, it can be smelted into a Basiliskbane bar.

## Items

Barrier (class 4)

Barrier (class 4)
 Weight | 2 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
The **barrier (class 4)** from the Stealing Creation minigame is made by using a class 4 of sacred clay on a creation kiln. It is the second strongest barrier that is used to keep members of the opposing team from accessing a resource that your team is gathering. The barrier will create a wall around the chosen resource spot with portals colour coded to the team that created it. Only members of the team which created the barrier can pass the barrier. A barrier may be destroyed by the other team attacking the barrier over time until the barrier is destroyed. A class 4 Barrier requires level 60 Construction to make from creation kilns. The barrier may only be repaired by class 4 barriers or above. The lower forms will not work. If a player happens to die they will spawn to the nearest built barrier or in the teams base.

## Strategy/Use

The class 4 barrier keeps the enemy team from getting to whatever you placed it around. There are several reasons that you might wish to keep the other team out. One reason might be to protect the low level skillers from attack while the players that wish to kill take care of them. Another reason could be to keep the other team from taking your teams higher level of clay. You may also wish to build the barrier around a creation kiln so the other team may not use it. This is one of the very few combat-related uses of Construction, others being combat room devices.

People can "steal" sacred clay sources in enemy areas with barriers by building them around a sacred clay source which mainly belongs to the enemies.
Banner of Armadyl

Not to be confused with Armadyl Banner.

Banner of Armadyl

File:Banner of Armadyl detail.png
The **Banner of Armadyl** was released with the God Emissaries update. A player may select the options of Contact Emissary, Power, and Check Progress. It is used to show a player's devotion towards Armadyl and is mainly cosmetic.

Its cosmetic look will change as the owner completes task sets provided by Taw'Paak. Like all banners, the banner obtains the ability to boost skills for 30 minutes based on the set completed:

**Combat boost** - temporarily boosts your Attack, Defence, Strength, Ranged and Magic levels by 5.

**Skill boost** - temporarily boosts one of any non-combat skill excluding Agility by 2.

**Exploration boost** - temporarily boosts your Agility level by 5.

Note that other items providing a visible level boost, such as spicy stew or tea in a Player-Owned House, will *not* stack with the banner's effects. You can't drink the best tea (+3) and use a +2 banner boost to get a +5 Construction bonus - it will simply default to the stronger bonus or more recent negative modifier, in this case +3 for the tea.

**The Bandos throne room sphere** can only be bought from Oldak after the end of The Chosen Commander for 2 law runes and 1 molten glass. It is a stackable item. When broken, the sphere will teleport you to the Bandos's throne room seen during the quest. However, some of the monsters will now be attackable once their rock form is clicked on.

When the sphere first became available after the completion of the quest, anyone attempting to break the sphere would receive a message saying, "Nothing interesting happens." However, this was quickly corrected.

This teleport sphere is purchased more frequently than others, as many players do not know they can access the Bandos's throne room via Fairy rings.

Banner (Dragon)

Banner

[view] **•** [talk]
A **Banner** is a decorative flag made on a Banner easel in a Player-owned house with the symbol of dragon. They can be created at 48 Crafting with 1 plank, 1 bolt of cloth, and the appropriate crest assigned by Sir Renitee. Players must have completed the Dragon Slayer quest in order to make the dragon banner. Sir Renitee will not assign a crest unless the player has over level 16 Construction. Players can use a Banner easel in another player's house if they do not have one.

## Trivia

* The banners are among the tallest weapons in the game in their unsheathed form, about 1.75x the player's height.
* If you try to bring a banner into Castle Wars, you get the message "You cannot take a banner into the arena."
* Currently the weapon is held incorrectly due to current combat stance, placing the banner's handle in the player's wrist. This also affects the banners from Trouble Brewing.
Black mask

{{#NewWindowLink:2007:Black mask|}}

Black mask

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Black mask detail.png
File:Black mask chathead.png
A **Black mask** requires 10 Defence, 20 Strength, and 40 Combat to wear. Similar to the focus sight and hexcrest, when worn it gives the player a 12.5% Melee damage increase and 12.5% Melee accuracy bonus against their current Slayer task. Black masks are dropped by cave horrors (level 58 Slayer required), found in the Mos Le'Harmless Caves. They can also be purchased from the Grand Exchange with either 0 or 10 charges.

The black mask has ten charges that are invoked at random against any combat opponents, not just slayer task monsters. A charge reduces the opponent's Defence level by 3-10. Once the charges are gone, there is no way to recharge it, although its Attack and Strength bonuses remain after being uncharged. The charge is only lost when initiating combat, so fighting a single opponent cannot be used as a way of uncharging it. As of 2 November 2010, the charges can be removed with the "remove-charges" option. Note that the removal of charges is permanent and cannot be reversed.

With the release of Smoking Kills, players were allowed to craft a black mask and other slayer items into a slayer helmet, provided they had acquired the ability to make the helmets. Slayer helmets are valued because of their effects and the fact that they are not tradeable. The black mask has been steadily increasing in price due to the update which added the hexcrest and focus sight used in the making of the full slayer helmet which also requires a black mask to make.

## Trivia

* Dean Vellio from Temple Trekking wears this mask when he is in his lower levels.

The **barbarian guard** doesn't let anyone in the Barbarian Outpost unless they first complete the Bar Crawl. He starts the Bar Crawl miniquest. Unlike many other barbarians, this one cannot be attacked. He is located right by the gate of the Barbarian Outpost.
The Barbarian guard is one of the five NPCs in the Barbarian Outpost. The bar crawl allows access to the Barbarian Outpost Agility Course. This agility course can be trained on at level 35 Agility. In addition to having an agility course, the outpost is where players can play the minigame Barbarian Assault.

To reach the guard, teleport to Barbarian Outpost by either buying or making a games necklace. A games necklace can be bought on the Grand Exchange costing around 863 coins, or can be made by casting the spell Enchant Level 1 Jewellery on a sapphire necklace, requiring one water rune and one cosmic rune. Rub it and teleport to Barbarian Outpost, then run around until you see a barbarian with downwards-facing horns in his helmet, holding a big axe. You can also use the Lunar spellbook Barbarian Teleport, or Tele Group Barbarian which will place you near him

## Trivia

* Upon completion of the Bar Crawl, the player will attempt to show the Barbarian guard their Barcrawl card, however, the guard cannot read and simply replies "I never learned to read, but you look like you've drunk plenty."

File:Behemoth notes detail.png**Behemoth notes (part 2)** are dropped by the Bulwark beast. The drop is random, just like all other Dungeoneering journals. The notes gives more insight to the behemoth race, and describes the bulwark beast in detail, calling them "essentially invulnerable", placing them in abandoned areas.

## Transcript

4th Age, year 1824. Date unknown.

The more I see of the behemoths, the more impressed I am with the diversity of the sub-strains within the same race. The analogy I gave of dogs is more appropriate than I had imagined; numerous creatures of various sizes and psychological characteristics are all part of the same genome and share only a basic shape. The latest strain brought to my attention is one I have affectionately dubbed the 'bulwark beast' on account of its hard, rock-like outer shell, and the adorable shield-like mandibles it employs to protect itself from incoming attacks. These creatures are essentially invulnerable, so long as their shield remains intact, with only magic having even a modicum of effect on them before the shield is removed. These creatures make excellent guardians, so, I shall place them in areas of the dungeon that we no longer concern ourselves with inhabiting, in order to ensure that even the areas we have long forgotten pose a challenge to interlopers.

**Bitternuts** are items used in the Trouble Brewing minigame. Players can obtain the nuts from the bitternut trees found within the minigame on Mos Le'Harmless using monkeys, which are caught in the same area. In order to retrieve a bitternut, the player must first dye the monkey in the colour of their team using red water or blue water, obtained by using either red or blue flowers with a bowl of water. They then can use the monkey with the tree. Additionally, if you have a Monkeyspeak amulet, you can alter the strategy used. You can choose to either make the monkey angry by taunting it, or caution him. By making him angry, he'll be more inclined to get up the tree as fast as possible and start pelting you with bitternuts, speeding up the time before you get a nut. If you tell him to be careful, he'll take a little bit longer, but will be more aware of other monkeys and will be more likely to win in a confrontation. This is also the most complicated task in Trouble Brewing.

According to Varrock Museum, monkeys on both Karamja and Mos Le'Harmless are very fond of bitternuts, although the nuts can only be found by players on Mos Le'Harmless.

The bartender also serves a purpose in Level 1 Treasure Trails. In some clue scrolls, he may be the person to give you your next clue, or he may give you your Treasure Trail Prize!

During the Bar Crawl miniquest, he is one of the Bartenders that you must get a drink from. His drink is the "Uncle Humphry's Gutrot".

## Trivia

* The bartender also seems to be one of the few NPCs who are aware that *RuneScape* is a "computer game". This is an example of a character "breaking the fourth wall". When players inquire what the bartender means by this, he makes a brief attempt at explaining what a computer is, calling it a "magic box".

The **black sword** is a sword that is slightly more accurate than the steel sword. It is used in combat and is a Stab weapon. Players can purchase this sword from the Varrock Swordshop in Varrock or acquire it as a monster drop from some monsters including cyclopes, skeletal wyverns, greater demons, and black demons. Like all black weapons, this requires an attack level of 25.

*As with all black equipment, this item **cannot** be made from raw materials using the Smithing skill.*

Bird snare

Bird snare

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Bird snare detail.png
The **bird snare** is an item available from Hunter suppliers; Aleck in Yanille, Artimeus in Nardah, and Ayleth Beaststalker in Taverley. These snares require no bait. They are set in Hunter areas to catch the various birds of *RuneScape*. Snaring birds always provides bones, raw bird meat, and various coloured feathers to be used when fishing or fletching.

Bird snares have three stages. The first being the setup stage, in which the player has newly set a trap and is waiting for a bird. The second stage consists of a fallen trap, whether it failed from a bird's attempt, or simply fell of its own accord. The third, and preferred, is a successful trap, from which a player will need to take off the bird, claiming the bones, raw bird meat, and feathers, before they can proceed.

## Trivia

* The bird snare is modeled after an actual trap, called the Ojibwa Bird Snare or Ojibwa Bird Pole Trap, that was once used to catch Passenger Pigeons in North America.
* The snare uses the same animation as when you light a fire, players also move West, as is with fire lighting.

Banshee Mistress

[view]
The **Banshee Mistress** is an exceptionally strong banshee, and acts as the final boss of the Smoking Kills quest. To enter her chamber, players must have a Banshee voice.

When she is at half of her full life points, she will call her minions to help. When this happens, four level 81 Insectoid Assassins will attack with powerful ranged attacks. When you kill her, the assassins vanish and a cutscene is played.

It is **strongly** recommended that players wield Masked earmuffs before attempting to fight her and also whilst in the cave; otherwise there is a very high risk of death.

Due to an update, if a player dies while fighting the Banshee Mistress, they will now automatically keep the masked earmuffs and their gravestone will spawn next to the well in Pollnivneach.

## Fighting Strategies

It is recommended that players wear their best Dragonhide armour, as the Mistress uses a magic-based melee attack and the spell Water Blast.
Throughout the fight, the Mistress will randomly hit players with an acoustic attack, causing the player to fall over. This hits around 1000-1400 LP and you can't prevent it, If auto-retaliate is off, then the player will not attack the Mistress again, possibly causing the player to die.

During the fight, players should stand next to the Mistress, using Protect from Melee and eating when necessary. When the Mistress says, 'Minions, aid me', the player should quickly swap to Protect from Range or the player could be hit for up to 800 life points (The rangers hit a max of 200 and there are 4 of them.) Players should then watch their health and prayer carefully and eat as often as required.

### Required Items to kill

* Masked earmuffs.
* Equipment with a good magic defence bonus.
* Decent food (Such as monkfish or Sharks).
* 1-2 Prayer potions.
* Emergency teleport (Such as a teletab).
* A Ring of Life could prove useful.

Players should wear:

* The best available Dragonhide armour. (Armadyl armour is a more expensive, although better choice if the player can afford it. It possesses higher stats than dragonhide as well as a small prayer bonus.
* A good weapon. The mistress is weak to bolts so it is **strongly** recommended to bring the best crossbow you can use along with suitable bolts. The best options are the Royal crossbow or twin Chaotic crossbows, but the Black Salamander or even the red salamander will work too, as they are inexpensive and deal decent bolt damage (though they require tar instead of bolts). Another alternative for those with a high Firemaking level and completion of Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf is the hand cannon.
* Plenty of runes/arrows; about 400-500 bolts should be more than enough, especially if using a 2-handed crossbow.

Berserker ring (i)
 Weight | 0 kg

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Berserker ring (i) detail.png
A **berserker ring (i)** is the upgraded version of a regular berserker ring. It can be imbued as a reward from the Mobilising Armies minigame at the cost of 205,900 reward credits if the player has a rank of 300 or more or from Stanley Limelight for 180 thaler. The player must provide a berserker ring themselves and show it to Lord Marshal Brogan at the top floor of the Officers' Tower.

A berserker ring (i) currently provides inferior bonuses compared to the onyx ring (i), which also costs less to imbue than the berserker ring. Other ring alternatives exist such as the Sixth-Age circuit and Asylum surgeon's ring; as such, it may be considered a waste of reward credits to create this ring.

Basilisk boss

[view]
The **Basilisk boss** is an especially strong basilisk. The basilisk boss can only be fought once, during the Desert Slayer Dungeon miniquest, after Smoking Kills.

Killing the basilisk boss gives the player a reward of 1,000 Slayer experience. Killing this boss while having the regular version assigned gives more Slayer experience. However, if the player's current task is basilisks, then the 15% combat bonus of the full or regular slayer helmet, black mask, hexcrest and focus sight is in effect, as well as the basilisk boss counting toward the task. Unlike other basilisks, the boss has a stat draining effect which **cannot** be avoided by wearing a mirror shield. The Mask of Reflection does **not** protect against the stat drain or give a damage bonus.

 File:Basilisk Boss stat drain attack.png
The recommended strategy for fighting the basilisk boss is to use melee combat; the basilisk is weak to stab attacks, so the use of a one-handed stabbing weapon, such as the chaotic rapier, korasi's sword, or even a dragon dagger, is recommended, although any one-handed melee weapon works fine. Spears and other two-handed weapons are **not** recommended, as the player will suffer harsh stat reductions and large amounts of damage (1000+), even through prayers. Even with the use of prayers, each of its attacks still reduces one or two combat stats by one to three points.  A super restore or restore potion is very useful, although it is possible to replace them with combat potion or super attack and super strength potions. Super restore has the benefit of restoring Prayer points as well as any lost combat stats, meaning that players would not need prayer potions. Another method is to use the Rejuvenate ultimate Ability to restore stats during the fight, provided that your Defence level hasn't been reduced below Rejuvenate's required 52, but this can only be used once every five minutes.

Note that having a familiar during the battle can distract the basilisk into attacking it, but it only attacks the familiar with its bite attack.

Defeating this boss with ranged is possible, but much more difficult than with melee. Bring plenty of prayer and restore potions.

**Side note:** if your Prayer level is 45+, two prayer potions should be enough if you attack with a stab weapon. Anything less than a dragon dagger will barely hit it. Make sure you keep watching your Prayer points and keep your stats up. To make the most of it, use the restore first then use either combat potion or super set if you can afford it. This is the most efficient way to order the potions, as if you were to drink a stat-boosting potion before the stat-restoring potion then your stats would only peak at their regular level.

Upon defeating the boss, you will have access to the regular basilisks in the room. The basilisks in the room are not aggressive.

Beer (tankard)

Beer

[view] **•** [talk]
File:Beer (tankard) detail.png
A **tankard of beer**, in-game simply called "**Beer**", is an alcoholic beverage, and like most alcoholic beverages in *RuneScape*, it will increase a player's Strength level temporarily whilst reducing their Attack level. This item is obtained in the Fremennik area, by using an empty tankard on a tapped barrel (both of which are easily found in Rellekka.)

Players can buy a tankard of beer from Thora the Barkeep in the Rellekka Longhall Bar for 26 coins, or take the tankard which respawns within the longhall. If you attempt to take this one, Manni the Reveller will tell you to get your hands off his beer, unless you have completed The Fremennik Trials.

 File:Longhall Bar.png
After drinking the beer, the message reads "You quaff the beer. You feel slightly reinvigorated... but very dizzy too". The tankard is larger than a beer glass so therefore contains more beer. When emptied, the player will have drunk a larger amount of beer, reducing their Attack level by 9, raising Strength by 4, and healing 200 life points.

**Bird feed** is a quest item used in Biohazard. It can be found by searching in a cupboard in Jerico's house, immediately south of the northern bank in East Ardougne. During the quest the player stands in the corner where the two spiked fences meet and inspects the watchtower fence. Then the bird feed is used on the watchtower fence to be thrown all over the tower, then the player releases the pigeons from the pigeon cage. This will cause them to immediately fly into the tower to eat causing the distraction needed for Omart to help the player over the gate separating East Ardougne from West Ardougne.

Bird feed looks like a druid pouch with a brownish-tan coloring.
