Runecrafting, or runecraft, allows players to craft different runes in OSRS. Most players dislike runecrafting because of the need for constant running and banking, making it quite click-intensive. However, newer and easier methods of training runecrafting have reduced how much players avoid this skill; the best ways to do these methods have been discussed in this guide.
The runecrafting skill enables players to put magic energy from various runic altars into an essence, turning them into runes. New runecrafting levels unlock the ability for players to craft new types of runes with a compatible essence. There are four types of essence: rune essence, pure essence, daeyalt essence, dark essence fragments, and blood essence. However, pure essence is commonly used because it is cheaper than rune essence and can be used to craft all types of runes.
The full Raiment of the Eye outfit gives players 60% more runes when worn. It can be obtained from the Guardian of the Rift minigame for 1350 pearls. This outfit is highly recommended for players to maximize profits when training runecrafting.
The ring of endurance doubles the time of the effect of stamina potions when worn. It is a reward that can be gotten from the Grand Hallowed Coffin on the final floor of the Hallowed Sepulchre, it requires 70 agility to equip. Stamina potions are required to charge the ring of endurance to a maximum of 1000 charges; a stamina dose represents one charge.
Essence pouches are essential for players to be more efficient when training runecrafting. They can be filled with essence and emptied when needed, which allows players to carry more essence per trip. There are different sizes of pouches; the bigger the pouch, the more experience rate a player can earn.
Small, medium, large, giant, and colossal pouches are the types of pouches available. They get degraded after use and won’t be able to carry the same amount of essence however, they can quickly be repaired using the dark mage; the fastest way to talk to him is via the NPC contact spell on the Lunar spellbook
Since players would need runes to frequently cast NPC contact to talk to the Dark mage and fix their pouch, a rune pouch becomes useful to carry the runes required to cast the spell and save inventory space. The rune pouch can store as many as 16,000 of only three types of runes.
These methods are properly detailed to show players the fastest and most efficient ways to get to 99 runecrafting.
Some quests have few requirements that can help players get those early runecrafting levels quickly; these quests include The Slug Menace, Ascent of Arceuus, The Eyes of Glouphrie, Temple of Eye, and the Enter the Abyss mini-quest. These give a total of 20,210 experience, which will get the player to level 33 from level 1.
Lava runes are combination runes that serve as a fire rune and an earth rune. Crafting lava runes is the fastest method to train runecrafting. A lava rune can be crafted in two ways:
Use an earth rune on a Fire altar with a pure essence and earth talisman in your inventory.
Use a Fire rune on an Earth altar with a pure essence and fire talisman in your inventory.
The best spot to craft lava runes is at the fire altar, north of the Al Kharid PvP arena. The fastest way to get here is through the ring of dueling to the Al Kharid PvP arena.
