How to Get Good Runecrafting in RuneScape

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Skills

Runecrafting is a long, involved skill, which is fairly hard to master. It is very useful after the 60’s and 70’s. This wiki should be able to help you level it up a lot. This is for free players also, I got 54 Runecrafting as a Free Player anyway.

  1. So….How do you even runecraft? Well runecrafting is one of the most complicated skills, yet the most rewarding almost. It is basically making the runes that mages and others use in runescape everyday. But, the more expensive the runes, the higher the level you need to make them. This is how to achieve a good runecrafting level in runescape.
  2. Also, by doing that, you can become VERY rich.
  3. First off, you need to do a quest. It is very simple and straightforward and it’s called Rune Mysteries - if you need help please go to Runehq.com, which helps for quests.
  4. Once that quest is done, mine some rune essence. You will know how by the end of the rune mysteries quest how to teleport to mine rune essence (Also, rune essence is great for selling in bulk for runecrafters).
  5. You should have an air talisman from rune mysteries. Click locate on the talisman and it should tell you a direction to go to. You will end up just south of Falador’s eastern bank (by the mining guild) and just North of Port Sarim.
  6. You will find yourself in front of some rocks, that will be called ancient ruins, or something like that.
  7. Use the air talisman with the big altar thing, and you will see the text in your chat box “You feel a great power grip you.” And you will be teleported to a giant hill with hundreds of trees around you. In the center of the hill you will see a giant stone slab that has the air rune symbol etched into it. This is where you craft runes. Now, you should mine some rune essences. 422 of them to be exact, which will be relatively quick. You can also buy them but mining will be much smarter since you will make no profit by buying them.
  8. Now, once you have you 422 rune essences, buy a tiara. All you have to do to make it go by a bit faster is go to the air altar, use your tiara with the big stone slab in the center (make sure you have the air talisman), and it will turn into an air tiara (your talisman will disappear). Now, all you have to do is wear it and click on the ruins instead of using the talisman with the ruins. Also, it will give you an extra space.
  9. Now, craft all of this essence, and you will level up very quickly in the beginning. You will level up about each load until maybe level 5. Once you reach level 11 you will notice you make double the amount of air runes to the amount of essence you are carrying.
  10. After you are done you will have 572 air runes. You can sell these at about 11 a piece. That means that you have just made 6.2k in just a little bit. This is a great idea for low levels trying to get money. Now, you can make fire runes.
  11. You are 14 runecrafting! Nice! And so the leveling system begins…
  12. Levels 14-27
  13. And so…you have progressed unto the stage of free players and members versions of runecrafting. After this part, there will be two ways to get runecrafting up. The member’s way, and the free player’s way.
  14. Now, you are 14 runescrafting. You are going to get 27 runecrafting, you will need 7623 xp. This means about 1089 rune essence. PLEASE! Be patient enough to mine this! It will only take about 1-2 hours, since rune essence mining is very quick.
  15. Now, you need to go to Al Kharid. You will need a fire talisman also, and if you press locate you will eventually end up just north of the dueling arena entrance. Fire runes are 7 xp each, so you will be getting 196 xp per load. (Remember to make a fire tiara, same thing as air tiara.)
  16. Ok. These are the member and free player options now!
  17. Now this is the free player option. You will need all of your essence noted in your inventory. Bring with you about 5k, or all the money you made from your air runes. Now, all you have to do is sell 26 rune essences to the general store which is just south of the fire altar. Buy these rune essences back very quickly. (Note: Your money will go down, but you will not lose too much. You can sell the fire runes back for more than double the cash you used)
  18. Repeat this until all of your rune essence is gone. You are now 27 runecrafting, Gratz.
  19. Members option!
  20. This is a good option if you do not want to use money, but the above option is faster. The duel arena bank is very close so that would be a good bank to use to store your runes and get you essence. Keep doing this until your done, and Gratz. 27 runecraft.
  21. Now, please, sell these runes. You will easily make about 14k off of them. Your Welcome.
  22. Now, I think I should start with the free players first. Yeah, you can’t make cosmic runes. Sorry, but its okay, I have some ideas.
  23. Well, to be honest, the best xp you can get is body runes. But, body runes are useless. So, they sell for little money. But, my friend, this is where the rubber hits the road until you bet some REAL money.
  24. So, please, start off mining your essence. This is the last time you will mine essence, so be happy. Mine 1136 rune essence. Keep your clicking finger ready, and when your done, walk to edgeville. (You will need a body talisman, which are VERY easy to find. People will give you one if you ask. Trust me.) Now, make a tiara like you did your fires and airs.
  25. The altar you want is just to the west of the barbarian village in the middle of the woods. You will see it, and then go inside. (It is one of the most interesting altars to me.)
  26. Craft ALL of those runes and then you will be 33 runecrafting. Congratulations, say goodbye to mining rune essence.
  27. Member’s way.
  28. First..you will need to do the quest Lost City, which is relatively short and gives rights to wielding dragon longswords and daggers, and access to the Cosmic altar! You may want 46 or 66 agility to make it faster, but is not required. Okay, you will need to get 44 runecrafting. You DO NOT WANT TO CRAFT CHAOS RUNES!!! It is long and tiring, since the altar is a maze (Literally, not joke. It’s a freaking maze.) It takes about 10 minutes for one load…
  29. Now, the altar is very quick to find, and you may want to buy your rune essence. But, rune essence has now turned into PURE rune essence. You have to buy it for more each, at around 80 each. It’s going to be kind of expensive, but you can easily mine it but you have to have 30 mining. Anyway, you will somehow have to get 5740 PURE rune essences.
  30. Get your cosmic talisman, which is more expensive then your basic rune talismans that you were getting. Make a tiara, and begin the long journey. This is, as was the member version, where the rubber hits the road. Its goign to be a while til’ you get lots of money. As the saying goes, No pain, No gain.
  31. Now that you’ve crafted them all, you’re 44 runecrafting. Nice.
  32. Free players!
  33. If you are going to be a free player forever, then runecrafting isn’t too important, but it is a huge money maker even still. Now that you’re 33 runecraft, you can quadruple the amount of airs you make out of essence.
  34. So, somehow you had to sell your body runes (the Grand Exchange works best) Nice job my man, the rune essence mining spot is now a thing of the past to you. (Unless you like it…THAT much.)
  35. Well, I am not sure of the price of rune essence, but buy as much as you can on the Grand exchange, and make air runes. Make all of the airs into air runes, and sell for the basic price. You pretty much quadruple the price you bought your runes for. You will make about 100 air runes at a time, and you can sell them for loads of money. Since there is no FAST way to get it up in the free worlds, this is the FAST way to make money in free worlds instead. Every 11 levels that you go up means you added to the amount that you multiply your essence by to get you air runes. So, at 44 runecrafting, you quintruple you amount, at 55 you sextuple, and 66….on and on and on…. You’ll be rich. Keep doing this and you can very easily become a millionaire.
  36. Members version.
  37. Ahh…Nature runes…These babies require no quest at all. The talisman is a bit expensive but you can handle it. Now you need to do the same thing you did for the Al Kharid fire runes here. There is a shop just north of a little tribe. Carry your essences with you (plus about 50k), sell to the shop, then buy back very quickly. Your goal is now 54 runecrafting though, and this is going to be the hardest time of all of the runecrafting stages.
  38. They are not known for this, but I call these next 10 levels, the terrible ten. You are going to get BORED!!!! You will be very bored. Now here are the numbers, Good LUCK!
  39. You will be making nature runes. If you buy all the rune essence you need, you will get about 840k to buy all the essence. That means you need 10581 rune essence! THAT’S A LOT! (Please join the clan chat Entrana99 for entertainment during the training.)
  40. DO NOT try to get that much if you do not have that much. If you do have that much, buy that essence. Otherwise, get enough to buy about 1k rune essence. Once you make 1k nature runes, you profit skyrockets! You now have 260k after selling these nature runes. Buy all the essence you can afford and sell those after you make nature runes out of them. Keep doing this until you have 54 runecrafting. Now comes the CHA CHING! Gratz聽:)
  41. Okay, if you made all that essence into nature runes when you had the money to get all the essence at one time, you have over 2.7 mil. Nice. If you didn’t buy all them at one time, you still have a lot of money. Now go spend it. You don’t need it, unless you really want to make nature runes for more money. But, laws are not fast to make, and they only give good cash but not good numbers in short time. But, they give AMAZING xp. That is why I suggest that you join the Teal Clan of world 99. They are a clan that people give their essences to for law runes. You don’t even need to give them rune essences back. You level up very quickly. Do this until maybe 59 runecrafting and then its back to money.
  42. You have 59 runecraft, eh? NICE!!
  43. You can double comic runes now. They go for 150 ea, which is even more than nature runes. A good idea to start off with is to get about 2k pure essence, then craft it all. (46 agility suggested, it goes much faster, trust me.) You have…Four…THOUSAND cosmic runes. That is pretty much the same thing as…Six…HUNDRED-THOUSAND!!! Dollars. My suggestion? Buy 6k Pure ess. That means that you have about 120k extra for maybe that new berserker helm…granite shield…AND Dragon dagger (p++). Nice, huh?
  44. Now…craft them all again. You will have 12,000 cosmic runes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  45. AMAZING!!!!! NOW SELL THEM! Or! try the mage training arena just north of the duel arena. It gives good xp…but I think I’ll take the money聽:)
  46. So now you have 1.8 MILLION gp. What to do? It would be smart to continue doing this. You get level ups, and very fast cash. Eventually though, maybe if you hit 70 after doing this, you will be looking for more….Well…keep reading…..
  47. Remember the teal clan? You are still in the clan…train your runecrafting like crazy there! Keep going! Yes! Until you are 91 runecrafting.
  48. You will need to make 543706 law runes (its hard to keep track when people are running for you) You will not make any money. (Sorry)
  49. This will be the hardest and longest part if you do this. But, once you hit 91 runecrafting, 520k per hour ain’t shabby?
  50. You will have millions in no time. You will have noobs begging all over for you! You will have whips…dragon armour…so many dragon weapons you’ll be giving them away! And it’s all because of runecrafting.
  51. HAPPY RUNECRAFTING!
  • This is a boring skill at times. Don’t give up too quickly, because you WILL get money later.
  • When you get Level 25 Runecrafting and are a member, do the Abyss mini-quest and get the pouch. It helps runecrafting go a little faster.
