Rune Crafting Guide for Runescape for Non-members

This guide teaches the basics of rune crafting, where to get the talismans, how to make tiaras, etc.

Runecrafting is a skill to make runes. First of all, start anf finish the rune mystery quest. To start, go to the Duke in Lumbridge Castle, and take the talisman to the wizard in the basement of wizards tower. Take the package you get from the wizard to Aubury in the rune shop in varrok. The rune shop is located south of the east bank, and east of Blue Moon Inn. Talk to Aubury and take the reaserch note to the wizard and finish the quest.

Mining

Get a pick and go to Aubury or the wizard. Right click then click teleport. You will be in a snowy place. Go to one of the four corners and click on the big snowman looking thing. Click on it to start mining. The rune essences will go into your inventory automatically and you don’t have to stop until you are done. Go to a near by portal and get out.

Rune Crafting

Get the talisman for the corresponding Altar. Go to the ruin with your talisman. Click on your talisman then on the ruin to go inside. After you are inside go to the center and craft your runes.

  • Air altar- go out of south gate from Falador, till you get infront of the chickens, then go west till you see the ruins
  • Mind altar- go out of north gate from Falador, go up the steps and continue north into the forest with evergreens till you see the ruins
  • Water altar- around the center of Lumbridge swamp
  • Earth altar-Go out of East gate from varrok till you get to the fence. Go north along the fence and you will see the ruins.
  • Fire altar- This is a little hard to explain, but its around straight north from the general shop of Al Karid
  • Body altar- Right next to Barbarian village on west side

Talismans

This is where to get the talismans.

  • Air Talisman- dropped by level 2 goblins
  • Mind Talisman- dropped by imps, and wizards
  • Water Talisman- dropped by wizards and dark wizards
  • Earth Talisman- dropped by men, women, alkarid warriors, and farmers
  • Body Talisman- dropped by guards, and giants, and possibly wizards

Tiaras

Bring a tiara to an altar. Use the talisman on the altar to bind the tiara and talisman. Your talisman will disappear but you will get a new tiara which you can just click on the ruin to get in if you are wielding.

Levels

You need certain level to create certain runes as in any skill. Also once your level starts to get high, you will be able to make, double, triple, etc. runes per essence. I will list up to the double

  • Air runes- level 1, level 11
  • Mind runes- level 3, level 14
  • Water runes- level 5, level 19
  • Earth runes- level 9, level 26
  • Fire runes- level 14, level 35
  • Body runes- level 20, level 46

Good luck making runes!!

    The fire talisman can easily be collected by killing dark wizards Lv 7 out side of varrock where the earth ruins are you can defeat them and most likely get water talisman or least likely fire talisman.
