Runecrafting lets you create Runes from Rune slates (acquired through Mining) and Essences. These Runes are required for Enchanting.

Levels

Every 20 effective levels will allow you to craft an additional rune at no cost. These extra runes will also give additional exp.

Effective level range Runes created per craft
1-19 1
20-39 2
40-59 3
60-79 4
80-99 5
100-119 6
120-139 7

etc..

Essence

To start you'll need to gather essence. Essence can be gathered by doing various activities.

Each rune gives the same experience (25 Exp) in runecrafting per craft.

Rune Image How To Obtain
Air Air essences are gathered automatically.
Earth Earth essences are gathered when mining.
Fire Fire essences are gathered when smithing or cooking.
Water Water essences are gathered by fishing.
Blood Blood essences are gathered by dealing damage (combat).
Death Death essences are gathered by killing opponents (combat).
Chaos Chaos essences are gathered by attempting to hit an enemy (combat).
Nature Nature essences are gathered by foraging and farming.
Mind Mind essences are gathered by casting spells (scroll crafting) and augmenting items.
Cosmic Cosmic essences are gathered by enchanting or runecrafting.

Talisman

If you have a talisman for the essence you're gathering you will gather +4 essence per action. After consuming your first talisman of a certain type, each one consumed afterwards that is of the same type will give a random, large amount of essence.

You can find talismans in rare drops from Gathering skills; Geodes, Birds nests, and Sunken Treasures are obtained through Mining, Foraging and Fishing respectively.

Giants can also rarely drop the corresponding talisman for their type.

Enchants

Scroll of Enlightenment - Obtain +1 essence per action. With a Talisman and Enlightenment 6, each action gives 11 essence.

Scroll of Runecrafting - Reduces Essence used by 5%. Runecrafting 6 makes runes cost 280 essence.
