[Skilling] In-Depth Runecrafting Guide

[52xp 308]

 RUNECRAFTING 

Runecrafting is one of the slower skills here on Runex. While there are multiple methods from 1-99, only two of those methods stand out above the rest and are worth pursuing. We will highlight those methods and a lot more below - sit back and enjoy. :^)

1.) Required & Useful Items

Fortunately, on Runex all you need to start Runecrafting is  Rune Essence or  Pure Essence.

As well as this, via Frumscone at the ::abyss teleport, you can acquire  Rune Pouches that hold extra Essence.

There are also several different experience bonus items on Runex to capitalize on:

Spoiler

 Skiller Tokens

Grants 2x Skilling experience per 10k exp earned
 

 Catalyst Tokens

Grants 3x all experience per 5k exp earned
 

 Varrock Armor (1-4)

Grants 5-20% (1-4) all experience gained
 

 Safety Gloves

Grants 2.5% all experience gained
 

 Fighting Boots

Grants 2.5% all experience gained
 

 Skilling Backpack

Grants 5% all experience when worn
 

 Studious Elixir

Grants 25% Skilling experience for 60 minutes
 

 Scholar's Blessing

Doubles the effectiveness of exp Tokens

2.) Altars & Locations

The entirety of your Runecrafting training will take place in three areas..

Spoiler

The Abyss: 

The Astral Altar:

The Cursed Caverns (Dark Altar):

3.) Efficient Methods

While you could use any Runes for 1-99 Runecrafting, two stand out above the rest..

Spoiler

Method one will rely on Nature Runes from 44-99 Runecrafting.

Due to how close the Nature Altar is to the ::abyss teleport, this method is often preferred.

 1-9 ~  Air Runes

 9-14 ~  Earth Runes

 14-27 ~  Fire Runes

 27-35 ~  Cosmic Runes

 35-44 ~  Chaos Runes

 44-99 ~  Nature Runes (x2 at 91 Runecrafting)

 

Method two will rely on Astral Runes from 40-99 Runecrafting.

Due to how close the Astral Altar teleport is to the Altar itself, this method is often preferred.

 1-9 ~  Air Runes

 9-14 ~  Earth Runes

 14-27 ~  Fire Runes

 27-35 ~  Cosmic Runes

 35-40 ~  Chaos Runes

 40-99 ~  Astral Runes (x2 at 82 Runecrafting)

4.) Other Useful Info

Below is a list of how much experience you get per Rune crafted & a graph of Runecrafting multiple Runes:

Nice guide.

Since you mentioned the Dark Altar, I think you should add that you can craft Death, Blood, Soul and Wrath(shitty XP) runes there. Also you get 2x the runes and 2x the XP there(at least on a normie account). Furthermore, there is a pure essence mine next to the Dark Altar, so imo it's a bit more afk'able than other methods, if you bring a pickaxe.

Excellent guide! I actually learned something from the guide that I was not doing while getting my Runecrafting to 99. That was the short command version for abyss. I thought the only way was via spell book. 🤔🤔

I guess I am not very attentive. Haha

Appreciate the feedback. I was tempted to mention it, but in my opinion it doesn't provide any knowledge towards 1-99 as the method is not safe and hardly used.

I will however add below the Cursed Caverns image that you can craft exclusive Runes their for 2x Runes as a bonus tip.

There's a lot of little things people don't know on here still, haha. That command is a very useful one for speed purposes, especially in Nature crafting.

Thanks again for the feedback. ♥

NICE GUIDE

The map for the altar is wrong. You put the route to the mine. You get pure ess at the altar itself. Which is shorter. Right past the ankous on the left.

Sorry, what? The route on the Cursed Cavern map? That's the path that Larry walks, my friend.

Hey, thats pretty usefull guide. I was playing so long, and still learned few things from that runecrafting guide. To complete the information I'm using this guide https://mmoauctions.com/news/osrs-runecrafting-guide and both together are very very helpful.

Thanks!
