Crafting Runes
The main source of runes in Melvor is via the Runecrafting skill. This skill allows players to turn Rune Essence, Pure Essence or Abyssal Essence into various runes. These runes can then be used in other skills, with the main purpose being Magic.
Runes
Regular runes can be crafted from various types of essence, depending on what type of rune the player is after. Initially, only 1 rune is received per essence used. However, when the player gains mastery in the Runecrafting skill and in the specific rune being crafted, more runes will be crafted per essence used. There are also boosting items that can increase the rune yield even more.

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills.

- Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
- Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
- Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
- Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
- Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.
