Runecrafting is a skill that allows players to craft their own runes for Magic spells. The experience earned from making runes is small, making Runecrafting a very slow skill to train. It is a very click intensive skill to train.

Getting the Supplies

In order to craft Runes, you require Rune Essence, you can obtain essence by either buying it from the Runecrafting store, mining it in the Essence Mine or killing Abyssal Guardians in the Abyss.

Runecrafting Store

To get to the Runecrafting Store, First you will need to teleport to South Neitiznot

Once there, head into the building to the north of the bank, and trade Cassie. You want to buy either Rune Essence or Pure Essence, at the moment they do exactly the same thing so rune essence is better off as it is slightly cheaper.

While buying essence, buy yourself a talisman of the rune you will be making. You should also make yourself a tiara. When you are at the Runecrafting altar use the tiara on it and it will be enchanted.
While wearing an enchanted tiara you will gain 10% more Runecrafting exp for the corresponding rune.

Talismans can be bought from the Mage of Zamorak inside the Guthix Altar. To get to the Guthix Altar speak to the Mage of Zamorak At South Neitiznot.

Essence Mine

Players can now mine there own essence. To teleport to the essence mine, speak to the Mage of Zamorak at south Neitiznot and ask him to teleport you there.

Non donators will mine rune Essence.
Donators will mine Pure Essence.

Abyssal Rift

The Abyssal Rift is an area in which you can kill Abysall creatures for:

- Talismans
- Essences
- Pouches (Small to Large)
- Clue Scrolls (Medium)
- Abysall Charms (Abyssal charms are used to infuse Abyssal Parasite, Abyssal Lurker and Abyssal Titan pouches.)

The Abysall Rift is also the interface that teleports you to all Altars. Read more about that below.

Pouches

Pouches can be bought from the Mage of Zamorak from various amountof Runecrafting Points or looted from Abysall Guardians, except the Massive pouch which can only be got by purchasing it from the Mage of Zamorak.

Pouches hold a limited amount of any type of essence:

Small: 3
Medium: 9
Large: 18
Giant: 30
Massive: 48

Pouches will last a limited number of essences before degrading and needing to be repaied.

The Dark Mage who is located in the centre of the Abysall Rift can repair your degraded pouches for a small fee.

The Dark Mage will repair broken pouches for a cost:

Medium: 50k
Large: 100K
Giant: 200K
Massive: 300K

Super Donators have 20% off.
Extreme Donators have 50% off.

Wicked Set

The Wicked Set consits of 4 pieces:

Wicked Hood
Wicked Robe Top
Wicked legs
Wicked Cape

Each piece costs 1300 Runecrafting Points while the Wicked Hood costs 5000 Runecrafting Points.
Each wicked set piece, when equipped, increases rune and experience multiplier by 25%, meaning that full set will double the crafted runes and experience received.

The wicked hood is one of the most useful items, beside the 25% rune and experience multiplier provided like all other pieces, it can be used to teleport players to altars or remotely craft runes.

The Wicked hood has has a limited amount of charges per day.

The Wicked Hood also provides unlimited teleprots to the Guthix Altar, the Essence mine and the Abyss.

Abyssal Familiars

Theres are 3 different types of Abyssal Familars, each of which can hold some ess for you.

Abyssal Parasite - Holds 7 essences
Abyssal Lurker - Holds 12 essences
Abyssal Titan - Holds 20 essences

Training Runecrafting

After you have bought an adequate amount of essence , it's time to start Runecrafting. Teleport to South Neitiznot using your Neitiznot teleports.

The next step is to talk to the Mage of Zamorak who is close to where you teleport in. Once you have found the Mage of Zamorak, you can choose to teleport to the Guthix Altar, the Essence Mine or the Abyss.

Training at the Guthix Altar

If you choose to train Runecrafting at the Guthix Altar, you need to buy talismans from the Mage of Zamorak and charge the pillars sorrounding the Altar. You can do so by using a talisman of the type of rune you want to create on the pillars. Note, you can use up to 4 different types of talismans to create 4 different types of runes. Pillar charges are temporary and will require you to recharge them by using another talisman on them.

You can check the integrity of the pillar and also remove that talisman by right clicking the pillar.

While training at the Guthx Alatr you will earn Runecrafting Points. You will earn one Runecrafint Point per essence crafted. You can view your current Runecrafting Points and your total Runecrafting score in the top left of your screen while inside the Guthix Altar.

Runecrafting Points can be used to buy 'Wicked' set peices and also Runecrafting Pouches. To access the Runecrfting store, trade the Mage of Zamorak at South Neitiznot

As you can see, you can also view your current Runecrafting Point sin the bottom left of the store.

If you choose to train Runecrafting at the Guthix Altar you should ask the Mage of Zamorak to hold some Essence for you seeing as there is no bank inside the Guthix Altar.

The Mage of Zamorak will hold different ammounts, depending on the type of your account.

Regular Players: 300
Donators - 400
Super Donators - 500
Extreme Donators - 1000

To get the Mage of Zamorak to hold your essence, speak to him at South Netizot with noted essence in your inventory.

To get your essence back, simply talk to him again. If you have pouches in your inventory, the essence will automatically fill into these.

Training at normal rune altars

Once you have been teleported into the Abyss, you need to make your way though the obsticles before you can choose which altar you wish to go to. To get through the obsticles you need to have the appropriate tools in your inventory.

When you get past the obsticles you can then choose which altar you wish to train at.

Once at the Altar of your choice, simply left clcik the altar and craft runes.

Tip: holding down CTRL and click on the Essence in your bank will withdraw a full inventory with one click.
