Runecrafting

Runecrafting is a skill which allows the player to craft runes using Rune Essence, as well as Magic equipment from runes and logs. Runes can be used in Magic for casting spells, or in Herblore for making potions. All Runecrafting actions takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the Expanded Knowledge god upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds.

The amount of runes created per action increases with the Mastery level of the runes being created. This can be increased by an additional 5 with the 95% Mastery pool checkpoint, or 2 if using the Crow familiar. Elemental Potions can be used to provide a 5-50% chance to obtain 2-8 additional random elemental runes each time runes are crafted, where the chance and amount runes given increases with the tier of the potion used.

Raising Runecrafting to Level 99 will unlock the Runecrafting Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Runecrafting Skillcape provides a +35% Chance to preserve Runecrafting resources.

Combination Runes

Below is a table of the different combination runes you can make.

Combination runes can be used in the place of spells that need both of the appropriate runes. For example, Mist Runes can be used for any spell that normally needs both Air Runes and Water Runes to cast.

Currently:

Mist Runes are used for casting Water combat spells like Water Strikes.
Dust Runes are used for casting Earth combat spells like Earth Strike.
Smoke Runes are used for casting Fire combat spells like Fire Strike.
Mud Runes are used for casting any tier of the Rags to Riches Alt. Magic spell.
Lava Runes are used for casting any tier of the Superheat Alt. Magic spell.
Steam Runes currently have no use in casting any released Magic spell. At present, their sole use is as an ingredient for Crow tablets.
