Runecrafting is a skill which allows the player to craft runes using 
Rune Essence and 
Pure Essence, as well as
equipment from runes and logs. Runes can be used in Magic for casting spells, or in
for making potions. All Runecrafting actions takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the
god upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds.
Further reductions in interval are possible in the Throne of the Herald Expansion, including the
for a 3% interval reduction, 
Harold for a 2% interval reduction, and the 
Eagle +
synergy for a 10% interval reduction. Additionally, the 
Cool Winds Gloves provide a 0.1 second interval reduction. Altogether, this can reduce the runecrafting interval to a minimum of 1.3 seconds.
The amount of runes created per action increases with the
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
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.

Runes
