### **Regular Game Modes**

#### **Extreme**

* As a player in the extreme game mode, you have the easiest XP rate\*(150x). The extreme game mode offers the ring of devotion. As you play Runique, the ring of devotion builds charges over time. When the ring has built up 3,600-4,000 charges you can claim the charges for a reward. In addition, the extreme game mode is given eva's longsword. Eva's longsword is a weapon that has a hidden damage boost which applies to monsters under the combat level of 100. If the monster's combat level is over 100, the damage boost will not work.

* The extreme game mode offers the ::bank command, which pulls up the player's bank, and it can be used every 10 minutes.

* For skilling, the extreme game mode will give you 4000 GP per XP gain. This means that, you will have 4000 GP added to your pouch per log cut, fish caught, ore mined, etc.

* The extreme game mode does NOT offer any other special benefits.

#### **Legend**

* As a player in the legend game mode, you have the second easiest XP rate (50x). The legend game mode offers the ring of devotion. The benefits of the ring can be read in the Extreme game mode spoiler. Also, a player in the legend game mode will be given an anger sword. The anger sword is an improved version of eva's longsword. Refer to the extreme game mode spoiler to understand what these swords are useful for. In addition, the legend game mode starter pack includes the cape of legends, which is a good cape to equip for low level training.

* The legend game mode offers the ::bank command, which pulls up the player's bank, and it can be used every 5 minutes.

To put it in simple terms, it's double the regular rate.

The benefits of the ring can be read in the Extreme game mode spoiler. A player in the grand master game mode will be given an anger battleaxe, which has the same benefits as the anger sword (the effect is activated differently - it provides bonus damage on any monster whose combat level is below yours).
