Runecrafting

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 enchanting.

Levels

Every 20 effective levels will allow you to craft an additional rune at no cost, which also adds 25 experience gained per craft. These extra runes will also give additional experience and additional cosmic essence.

Runes/Essence

To start runecrafting, players must first gather essence by doing various activities. A single Rune Slate and 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.
