Runecrafting

Runecrafting is a skill that allows players to craft their own runes for Magic spells. Runecrafting is a very slow skill to train through typical means, but rewards runes in the process that are useful in a multitude of ways. It is fairly click and attention intensive, but a beneficial skill to train for Ironmen and those looking to max.

Guardians of the Rift

The Guardians of the Rift will be the best form of Runecrafting training for a multitude of reasons. Completionist requirements, good rewards, fast XP, and more. A full guide on how to complete this minigame can be found here: Click Me.

The Abyss

The Abyss is an area of where players can Runecraft at a variety of altars without the use of Talismans or Tiaras. To travel to this area, you can speak to the Mage of Zamorak located in Arceuus house at home as shown below.

Pouches

Throughout the outskirts of The Abyss players can find abyssal creatures that drop pouches. Pouches, depending on the size, store a variety of extra essence inside of them. These pouches are dropped in ascending order based on their size, starting from small and ending with Giant. The chance of receiving a pouch is 1/100 from any Abyssal Creature. All Abyssal Creatures are aggressive, proceed with caution. The table below demonstrates more details regarding these pouches.

Pouch		Essence Stored	Drop Rate
	Small Pouch	3	1/100
	Medium Pouch	6	1/100
	Large Pouch	9	1/100
	Giant Pouch	12	1/100

Traveling to the Center (altars)

There are two methods to access the altars at the center of The Abyss.

1. Unlocking the Imbued Gratitude silver relic will allow players to instantly teleport to the center of The Abyss where the altars are located. This is a very worthy investment as this relic also allows rune pouches to store 50% more essence. If you are seriously training Runecrafting 1-99 then unlock this relic.

2. You will have to overcome one of the obstacles on the outskirts to be teleported into the center. Potential obstacles are demonstrated in the below table:

Obstacle		Skill Used	Tool Required
	Tendrils	Woodcutting	Axe
	Rock	Mining	Pickaxe
	Eyes	Thieving	N/A
	Gap	Agility	N/A
	Boil	Firemaking	Tinderbox
	Passage	None	N/A

Training Runecrafting

Disclaimer: Training through the Guardians of the Rift minigame will be the best option. However, below is a 1-99 guide for Runecrafting outside of the minigame.

Level 1-14

From levels 1-14 you will be Runecrafting Air Runes. Depending on your gamemode this should only take 1-2 trips to complete.

Level 14-35

From levels 14-35 you will be Runecrafting Fire Runes. This too should be fairly quick.

Level 35-44

From levels 35-44 you will be Runecrafting Chaos Runes. This is where you will begin to notice a major increase in XP gain.

Level 44-54

From levels 44 to 54 you will be Runecrafting Nature Runes.

Level 54-65

From levels 54 to 65 you will be Runecrafting Law Runes.

Level 65 to 77

From levels 65 to 77 you will be Runecrafting Death Runes.

Option 1: Level 77 to 99

For option 1 you can Runecraft Blood runes from level 77 to 99. The reason for doing this option is to achieve the most progress in the Grandmaster task: Blood Pact (Runecraft 50,000 blood runes). However, this is not the best XP per hour.

Option 2: Level 77 to 90

For option 2 you can Runecraft Blood Runes from level 77 to 90. This option will be the fastest XP per hour.

Level 90 to 95

From level 90 to 95 you will be Runecrafting Soul Runes. This will award a couple achievements in the process. This can only be done through Zeah Runecrafting.

Level 95 to 99

From level 95 to 99 you will be Runecrafting Wrath Runes. This is similar XP to Soul Runes, however it also rewards the best rune in the game. These can be Runecrafted both for XP and for profit so you might as well use this method from levels 95 to 99.
