This article is about training the Runecrafting skill. For the skill itself, see Runecrafting.

Training to Level 99

To reach Level 99 will take approximately 200,000 Rune Essence, which can be easily obtained with Mining. The Crow + Mole synergy combined with the Scroll Of Essence can make mining the Rune Essence much faster.

The easiest way is to craft the highest rune you can make, switching each time you unlock a new rune. This will provide a wide variety of different rune types for later use.

Alternatively, make even mix of Earth Runes and Fire Runes and turn them into Lava Runes. This is one of the faster ways to get to max level, though it creates a large number of runes that have a limited number of uses such as Superheat spells or creating Crow tablets.

Finally, players can make a small number of lower tier spell runes such as Mind Runes, Chaos Runes, and Death Runes, along with a large volume of Blood Runes, Ancient Runes, and elemental runes. Once it is possible to create Mist Runes and Smoke Runes, players can make these until Level 99. This allows the player to have a large volume of runes for combat later on, though it takes longer to reach max level. In the long run it should save time, as the runes being produced are more useful.
