'''Runecrafting''' is a skill in the MMORPG [[RuneScape]]. It is one of the harder skills to level up, taking a lot of time (or a lot of money if wishing to level up extremely quickly), yet potentially results in excellent returns at higher levels.
== Comments ==
 
Runecrafting involves using Rune Essence (basically 'empty' rune stones) and then entering a rune altar with it's respective talisman, and finally binding the essence to the altar to create the rune stone if the necessary level has been achieved.
 
At certain levels, runecrafters will be able to make new runes, or multiples of old runes.
Such levels are as follows:
Level:
1: Air rune x 1
2: Mind rune x 1
5: Water rune x 1
9: Earth rune x 1
11: Air rune x 2
14: Mind rune x 2, Fire rune x 1
19: Water rune x 2
20: Body rune x 1
22: Air rune x 3
27: Cosmic rune x 1
28: Mind rune x 3
33: Air rune x 4
35: Chaos rune x 1, Fire rune x 2
38: Water rune x 3
42: Mind rune x 4
44: Air rune x 5, Nature rune x 1
54: Law rune x 1
55: Air rune x 6
56: Mind rune x 5
57: Water rune x 4
59: Cosmic rune x 2
65: Death rune x 1
66: Air rune x 7
70: Fire rune x 3, Mind rune x 6
74: Chaos rune x 2
76: Water x 5
77: Air rune x 8, Blood rune x 1 (not yet available)
78: Earth rune x 4
84: Mind rune x 7
88: Air rune x 9

91: Nature rune x 2
92: Body rune x 3
95: Water rune x 6
98: Mind rune x 8
99: Air rune x 10
 
Runecrafting has also been helped with the semi-recent update involving the Abyss, allowing runecrafters to take a more risky, faster route to their altar without the need of a talisman. The route is dangerous as to enter the abyss, one must be teleported by the Zamorak Mage located above Edgeville in about level 7 Wilderness (threat from PKers). After entering the abyss, there are many monsters inside, the player is automatically given a skull (meaning they lose all their items if they die so long the skull remains on their head - skulls disappear after 20 minutes of idle PvP combat) and all prayer points are drained, leaving them extremely vunerable to PKers. The advantages of such a route is that it is extremely fast (especially for runes which require a lot of time getting there, such as Nature Runes, where the journey is quickened by about 2x).
 
With the abyss was the introduction of Essence Pouches, which allow players to use the pouches to hold essence in the pouch, as long as they have the required level. The pouches are:
 
Small (holds 3 essence, level 1 runecrafting required)
Medium (holds 6 essence, level 25 runecrafting required)
Large (holds 9 essence, level 50 runecrafting required)
Giant (holds 12 essence, level 75 runecrafting required)
 
Only one pouch may be owned at a time.
 
The pouches are obtained from the monsters in the Abyss. It is reccommended that players kill the lowest level creatures in the Abyss, as all creatures can drop all kinds of pouches.
Pouches can also degrade and become damaged, and they must be repaired. This can be done by talking to the wizard in the middle of the Abyss, who will fix your pouch. Meanwhile, the pouch holds a number of essence less than it's maximum until repaired.

Runecrafting is a skill in the MMORPG RuneScape. It is one of the harder skills to level up, taking a lot of time (or a lot of money if wishing to level up extremely quickly), yet potentially results in excellent returns at higher levels.

Runecrafting involves using Rune Essence (basically 'empty' rune stones) and then entering a rune altar with it's respective talisman, and finally binding the essence to the altar to create the rune stone if the necessary level has been achieved.

At certain levels, runecrafters will be able to make new runes, or multiples of old runes. Such levels are as follows: Level: 1: Air rune x 1 2: Mind rune x 1 5: Water rune x 1 9: Earth rune x 1 11: Air rune x 2 14: Mind rune x 2, Fire rune x 1 19: Water rune x 2 20: Body rune x 1 22: Air rune x 3 27: Cosmic rune x 1 28: Mind rune x 3 33: Air rune x 4 35: Chaos rune x 1, Fire rune x 2 38: Water rune x 3 42: Mind rune x 4 44: Air rune x 5, Nature rune x 1 54: Law rune x 1 55: Air rune x 6 56: Mind rune x 5 57: Water rune x 4 59: Cosmic rune x 2 65: Death rune x 1 66: Air rune x 7 70: Fire rune x 3, Mind rune x 6 74: Chaos rune x 2 76: Water x 5 77: Air rune x 8, Blood rune x 1 (not yet available) 78: Earth rune x 4 84: Mind rune x 7 88: Air rune x 9 90: Soul rune x 1 (not yet available) 91: Nature rune x 2 92: Body rune x 3 95: Water rune x 6 98: Mind rune x 8 99: Air rune x 10

Runecrafting has also been helped with the semi-recent update involving the Abyss, allowing runecrafters to take a more risky, faster route to their altar without the need of a talisman. The route is dangerous as to enter the abyss, one must be teleported by the Zamorak Mage located above Edgeville in about level 7 Wilderness (threat from PKers). After entering the abyss, there are many monsters inside, the player is automatically given a skull (meaning they lose all their items if they die so long the skull remains on their head - skulls disappear after 20 minutes of idle PvP combat) and all prayer points are drained, leaving them extremely vunerable to PKers. The advantages of such a route is that it is extremely fast (especially for runes which require a lot of time getting there, such as Nature Runes, where the journey is quickened by about 2x).

With the abyss was the introduction of Essence Pouches, which allow players to use the pouches to hold essence in the pouch, as long as they have the required level. The pouches are:

Small (holds 3 essence, level 1 runecrafting required) Medium (holds 6 essence, level 25 runecrafting required) Large (holds 9 essence, level 50 runecrafting required) Giant (holds 12 essence, level 75 runecrafting required)

Only one pouch may be owned at a time.

The pouches are obtained from the monsters in the Abyss. It is reccommended that players kill the lowest level creatures in the Abyss, as all creatures can drop all kinds of pouches. Pouches can also degrade and become damaged, and they must be repaired. This can be done by talking to the wizard in the middle of the Abyss, who will fix your pouch. Meanwhile, the pouch holds a number of essence less than it's maximum until repaired.
