Runecrafting

Runecrafting UI

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

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.

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.
