What a bond costs right now

How bonds pay for membership

One bond gives 14 days of membership. Redeeming two at once gives 29 days, a day more than two on their own; three give 45, three days more; and twenty give 12 months, 365 days, which is 85 days more than twenty single bonds. Membership from a bond also covers RuneScape 3. A bond can also pay for a display name change: members change their name for free once every 28 days, and one bond changes it straight away. Since 3 November 2026, the bond screen can also give a bond's membership to another character on the same Jagex Account: pick the character in its menu and choose the membership, and that character gets the days the bond would have given you.

Bonds can be redeemed in the bond pouch at any time, tradeable or not, except in the last 3 minutes before the game restarts for an update. The pouch holds up to 100 bonds of either kind, raised from 20 on 8 January 2025; bonds bought from Jagex while it is full wait until there is room.

What Jagex charges

Jagex sells bonds and membership directly. These are its prices from 10 March 2026, as published in its news post. Bonds bought together cost less each, and a monthly subscription that began before 27 September 2024 and has run without a break keeps its older price.

Tradeable and untradeable bonds

A bond bought from Jagex is tradeable. The first time it changes hands, by a trade, a Grand Exchange sale or a gift, it becomes untradeable. Convert in the bond pouch makes it tradeable again for a tenth of a bond's guide price, paid from your inventory or bank. Buying a bond with coins and giving it to a friend therefore costs its price and the fee together, and a bond you were given and then sell leaves you its price less the fee.

Membership for another character on your own Jagex Account costs less. The bond screen sends a bond's membership straight to that character, so the bond does not need to be tradeable and no fee is paid: a bond bought on the Grand Exchange gives your other character membership for its price alone. The other character gets the membership, not the bond. Jagex re-enabled the option on 4 November 2026. If the character list does not fill in on a European world outside the UK or on an Australian world, hop to a world in another region and it works.

Bonds are exempt from the Grand Exchange tax, so a bond sells for its full price. The GE tax calculator lists every other exempt item. Each Grand Exchange offer holds one bond, so buying several takes one slot each: members have 8 slots and free players 3. The buy limit is 100 bonds every four hours.

Ironmen, the Deadman world and Hardcore Worlds

Ironmen, hardcore and ultimate ironmen buy bonds through their own Grand Exchange screen, which sells them bonds and nothing else. They cannot sell a bond. They can convert one and give it to another player, and group ironmen can trade a converted bond to their group. The permanent Deadman world, 345, is for members only, and bonds do not trade on its Grand Exchange, so its membership is bought with bonds from the main game.

Hardcore Worlds, open since 4 November 2026, are for members only and have their own economy: their Grand Exchange is separate from the main game's, so the prices on this page are main-game prices. Death's Office is the one place where characters from the main game and from Hardcore Worlds can meet, and it is where you can give membership to a friend on the other side. Nothing can be traded there.

Bond questions

How many bonds is a month of membership? Two bonds give 29 days, one short of a 30-day month, so a full month takes three, which give 45 days. Twenty bonds give a year.

How much is membership? In coins, the bonds for it: the calculator above works out any length. Bought from Jagex, the table above gives its prices for a month, a year and each bundle of bonds.

Is it cheaper to redeem bonds together? Yes. A day costs the least through the 20-bond package, then three at once, then two, and one bond on its own costs the most a day.

Can I give a bond to my other account? If the other character is on the same Jagex Account, you do not need to give it the bond at all: in the bond screen, pick that character and the membership, and it gets the membership with no fee, from a tradeable or an untradeable bond. For a character on another account, the bond must be tradeable: use it on the other character and it arrives as a free gift. A bond you bought on the Grand Exchange is untradeable, so convert it first for a tenth of the guide price. The bond you gave is untradeable from then on.

Can free players buy bonds? Yes. A bond is not a members' item, so a free player can buy one on the Grand Exchange with coins, using one of their 3 offer slots for each bond.

Can a bond be lost? No. A bond is always kept on death, even in the Wilderness, and it cannot be dropped, destroyed, alched or sold to a shop.

Can a bond go in Death's Coffer? No. Bonds are one of the items Death will not take. The Death's Coffer calculator finds the cheapest items that do.

Does buying a bond and selling it again pay? Hardly ever. A bond bought on the Grand Exchange is untradeable, so selling it means paying the fee first, and the fee is about a tenth of the price.
