Runecrafting: What Does It Mean in the Game?
Runecrafting is a non-combat skill in Old School RuneScape that allows players to craft runes, which are essential for casting various types of spells. This skill is fundamental for players who wish to engage in magic-based activities or trade runes for profit.
Getting Started with Runecrafting
To begin training Runecrafting, players must complete the "Rune Mysteries" quest, which grants access to the Runecrafting skill. After completing the quest, players receive a talisman that allows them to locate rune altars.
Crafting Runes
Runes are crafted at various altars scattered across Gielinor. Each altar is dedicated to a specific type of rune. Here's a basic process for crafting runes:
- Locate the appropriate altar using a talisman or tiara.
- Enter the altar and use the corresponding rune essence or pure essence on the altar.
- The essence will be converted into runes.
Runecrafting Strategies
There are various strategies players can utilize to optimize their Runecrafting training:
- Abyss: Use the Abyss to quickly travel between rune altars.
- ZMI Altar: Provides a chance to craft multiple types of runes simultaneously, which can lead to faster experience rates.
- Great Olm: Engage in group activities to gain additional rewards and experience.
Benefits of Runecrafting
Aside from providing essential runes for spellcasting, Runecrafting is a profitable skill. Players can sell crafted runes for a significant profit, especially those in high demand like nature runes and law runes. Additionally, Runecrafting experience contributes towards achieving a skill cape, a prestigious item that signifies mastery in the skill.
