Runecrafting UI
This page is about the skill. For the enchantment, see Runecrafting (Enchantment).

Runecrafting allows players to create runes from rune slates (acquired through mining) and essences. These runes are required for Scrollcrafting, using magic abilities, consumed by some Enchantments and for Crafting certain items. Runecrafting also allows players to craft cloth from fibers (aquired through fishing). This cloth is used for crafting.

Levels[edit | edit source]

Every 20 levels will increase the number of runes crafted in an action by 1. Intermediary levels will get a chance to craft an additional rune depending on how close it is to the next 20 level breakpoint.


Runes/Essence[edit | edit source]

To start runecrafting, players must first gather essence by doing various activities. A Rune Slate is used per rune made while 400 essence is used for each runecrafting action. Used Essence can be reduced with the runecrafting enchantment but a minimum of 400 is required to start crafting.

Crafting runes always provides 25 runecrafting experience for each rune crafted.

3 essence is gathered for each relevant action and can be increased with the Enlightenment enchantment or consuming the corresponding talisman.

Element Rune Essence How to Obtain
Air Air essence is gathered automatically. Essence gain is doubled when idling.
Earth Earth essence is gathered while mining.
Fire Fire essence is gathered while smithing or cooking.
Water Water essence is gathered while fishing.
Blood Blood essence is gathered by dealing damage to enemies during combat.
Death Death essence is gathered by killing monsters in combat.
Chaos Chaos essence is gathered by attempting to hit monsters during combat (on every swing of a weapon).
Nature Nature essence is gathered while foraging or farming.
Mind Mind essence is gathered while enchanting or augmenting.

Talisman[edit | edit source]

Once a talisman is consumed, an additional six essence will be gathered for that specific type. Each talisman of the same type consumed after the first will grant 35,000 - 50,000 essence to that type.

Talismans are uncommon items obtained when opening chests, geodes, bird's nests, sunken treasures, and satchels.

All giants from Corrupted Lands, Valley of Giants and Chaos Wastes has a chance to drop Talismans.

Ice Giant will drop a water talisman.

Fire Giant will drop a fire talisman.

Moss Giant will drop a nature talisman.

Bone Giant will drop a blood talisman.
