Runecrafting
This page was last updated for (v0.20). |
Runecrafting is a skill which allows the player to craft runes using Rune Essence, as well as
Magic equipment from runes and logs. Runes can be used in Magic for casting spells, or in
Herblore for making potions. All Runecrafting actions takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the
Expanded Knowledge god upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds.
The amount of runes created per action increases with the Mastery 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
Crow 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.
Raising Runecrafting to Level 99 will unlock the
Runecrafting Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Runecrafting Skillcape provides a +35% Chance to preserve Runecrafting resources.
