OSRS Runecraft Training Guide [2022]: Best Methods for Level 99 - Rune Fanatics (2023)

Runecrafting is one of the least valued skills in OSRS as level 99 has a short range. The training methods involve a lot of walking, which can become frustrating when your energy is drained. However, the skill is extremely profitable in the later stages, which makes up for the hourly slow experience.

To simplify the process for level 99 runecrafting, be sure to read this guide from start to finish. This is because we will be going through all the quests and items required to get the best XP rates. Also, you will discover the fastest and most profitable F2P methods to train the skill.

What is Runecrafting?

Runecrafting is a member and F2P skill that allows players to craft Rune Essence or Pure Essence runes at various Runecrafting Altars. The skill syncs withMagicvery good, since you need runes to cast spells. So if you are an Iron Man you should get your Runecrafting to at least 77 to craft blood runes for PVM.

The ability requires players to travel to mysterious runes located throughout Gielinor with the appropriate talisman. These are the keys used to teleport in and infuse rune essence or pure essence into the altar to create runes.

Why train rune skill?

Most players will choose Runecrafting because it's a relaxing skill that allows adventurers to take a break from the intense world of Gielinor. Another reason to train in rune skill is that it is a requirement for many important quests that give you access to new locations and training methods:

• The Fremennik Exiles
• dishonest thoughts
• what is below
• The danger of snails

In addition, Runecrafting is an extremely profitable skill in the later stages. Players can earn +1 million GP per hour, and at level 99 the skill generates +200 million GP.

Items required for crafting runes

There are some mandatory items to train in Runecrafting. You get them simply because you can go to the Great Exchange and buy your supplies there. Alternatively you can go toAubury Runenladen, which is located in southeast Varrock just south of the east coast. He will sell rune essence and pure essence. These are the must-have items for Runecrafting:

• Runic essence:This is a raw material used in the crafting of runes. Unlike magic runes, they don't stack and fill up your inventory. So you have to make bench runs to and from the altars. F2P players can mine them after completing Rune Mysteries. To teleport to the mine, talk to Aubury.
• Pure Essence:The Pure Essence is a much better version of the base variant. This type creates more runes per inventory, which generates more XP, so it is recommended to use it over normal pure essence. In order to gain access to the pure essence, you must first complete the Secrets of the Runes quest.
• lucky charm:A talisman is used to reach into an altar to create runes. Without one, players have no option to join. Each talisman is tailored to a specific altar. For example, a water talisman only allows you to enter a water altar. Also, not all talismans are accessible to F2P players:
  • F2P:
    • Air Talisman
    • Mind Talisman
    • talismanic water
    • Erd-Talisman
    • Fire Talisman
    • Talisman body
  • Members:
    • Cosmic Talisman
    • Talisman des Chaos
    • talisman of nature
    • Talisman Law
    • Talisman of Death
    • Talisman of Anger
    • Elemental Talisman
  • Tiara:The tiara can act as an equippable talisman and grant you access to mysterious ruins. They save you an extra inventory slot, increasing profit and experience per hour. Combine the selected talisman and a tiara to create a Runecrafting Tiara. However, you can buy them in the Great Exchange.

Useful runcrafting items

Since Runecrafting is an ultra-slow skill, it is necessary to use any item to speed up the process. These items provide convenience and make the skill more bearable. So if you spend the extra GP and time to get these items, it will help you in the long run.

• Runecrafting Bags:These are pouches that can be used to store pure rune or essence. They are highly regarded in the runecrafting community as they can be used to carry larger payloads when mining or crafting runes. Bags are dropped by monstersAbyss. Unfortunately, the pouches deteriorate after a certain number of uses. There are also Rune Crafting Bags in 4 sizes and with level requirements:
  • Small purse:
    • Runecrafting level: 1
    • Capacity: 3
    • Expiration: None
  • Average Scholarship:
    • Runecrafting level: 25
    • Capacity: 6
    • Decay: 45 uses
  • Big bag:
    • Rune Crafting Level: 50
    • Capacity: 9
    • Decay: 29 uses
  • giant bag:
    • Rune Crafting Level: 75
    • Capacity: 12
    • Decay: 11 uses

Additionally, players may not have more than 1 type of Runecrafting Bag in their inventory. However, this means you can have all 4 sachets in your inventory, giving you a total of 30 extra essences.

• Duel Ring:When creating fire or lava runes, teleportation from the dueling arena to the dueling ring is beneficial. This way you can quickly pack your things and head back to the altar.
• Amulet of Glory:In Abyss races, an Amulet of Glory can greatly improve XP rates. The amulet will teleport you near the Edgeville bank.
• Records at a high level:The balloon transport system can perform certain methods faster that require high-level logging. Check out our spark making guide to learn how to use the balloons.
• Graceful outfit:Runecrafting requires a lot of walking between pews and altars. Therefore, graceful clothing can become super useful. Clothing reduces your weight and allows you to run longer. The complete set reduces your weight to -25 kg and increases the recovery rate of your running energy by 20%.
• Resistance Potions:These potions will replenish your energy so you can run longer. Players can purchase them from GE or craft them at level 77herbalism.
• Spitzhacke:When planning Abyss runs, wielding a pickaxe can speed up the process. This is because you need to mine some rocks to get into the inner circles of the Abyss.

Runenherstellungs-Quests

Since Runecrafting is probably the slowest skill in OSRS, it's important to gain experience wherever you can. The best way to gain experience in the early levels is by completing quests. We chose these quests because they have minimum requirements or will help your character in Gielinor.

• Rune Mysteries: 0 Runecrafting Experience
• The Rise of Arceuus: 500 Runecrafting experience
• Enter the Abyss: 1,000 Runecrafting experience
• Lunar Diplomacy: 5,000 Runecrafting Experience
• The Eyes of Glouphire: 6,000 runecrafting experience

Completing these quests will grant you 12,500 Runecrafting experience and take you to level 29. If you're not a quest player, we'll look at alternative methods. However, you must complete Rune Mysteries and Enter the Abyss as they are used for the best training methods.

How to train rune skill

Luckily, runecrafting training is not a complicated process. First you need to gather supplies so you don't waste trips to the Great Exchange. Make sure you have these items in your bank:

• pure essence
• Any talisman or tiara variations
• rune bags
• Teleportation methods such as a dueling ring and an amulet of glory

The next step is to equip a tiara or put a talisman in your inventory. Then fill your inventory and rune pouches (if you have them) with pure essence. After that, you need to go to a mysterious ruin and use the talisman or tiara to teleport inside. Mysterious ruins are dotted around Gielinor, and you'll need the appropriate talisman or tiara to enter them.

Each rune type requires a runecrafting level:

• Level 1 - Rune of Air
• Level 2 - Rune of Spirit
• Level 5 - Water Rune
• Level 9 – Rune of the Earth
• Level 14 – Rune of Fire
• Level 20 – Body Rune
• Level 27 – Cosmic Rune
• Level 35 – Rune of Chaos
• Level 40 – Astral Rune
• Level 44 – Rune of Nature
• Level 54 – Rune of Law
• Level 65 – Rune of Death
• Level 77 – Blood Rune
• Level 90 – Soul Rune
• Level 95 – Rune of Wrath

Once inside the Mysterious Ruins, you'll see an altar in the center. Use the pure essence on the altar and your player will begin the process. After that, you gain experience in runecrafting and magical runes.

Additionally, as players increase their runecrafting level, they can craft more runes from a single inventory. However, no additional XP is awarded for crafting more runes as the system is based on how many essences you use.

Runecrafting also offers mixed runes. To create them, players must take existing runes with an appropriate talisman and pure essence. Then go to an altar that represents the other half of the combination. For example, if you want to craft lava runes, you need to bring earth runes with a fire and earth tiara. Then click on the altar to create lava runes.

• Runes of Mist: Runes of Air + Water
• Dust Runes: Air and Earth runes
• Mud Runes: Water and Earth runes
• Smoke Runes: Air and Fire Runes
• Steam Runes: Water and Fire Runes

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What are the benefits of crafting level 99 runes?

Answer: Gaining runecraft mastery can benefit you in many ways. First, high-level runecrafting gives you access to the best money-making methods that can generate over 1 million GP. In addition, dexterity is a requirement for many quests that offer important rewards upon completion.

Also, if you want to use runecrafting as a method of making money after level 99, the skill cloak is extremely useful. You can buy it in Aubury for 99,000 GP, which is just south of the east bank in Varrock.

The skill cloak acts as a runecrafting talisman for all locations. Therefore, you save an extra point in your inventory. Also, runecrafting pouches will not be depleted while using the skill cloak.

Question: How do I get runecrafting bags?

Answer: Runecrafting pouches are used to store runes or pure essences. They can help increase experience per hour as you can craft more runes. To get them you need to kill Leeches, Guardians and Abyssal Walkers. These creatures live in the outer layer of the Abyss and have a drop rate of 1/42 for each pouch size. Unfortunately, bags deteriorate a bit after each use, so it's ideal to store them for later use.

To kill them efficiently you need at least level 70 in a fighting style. That's because they have a medium combat level with max hits of 13. A major benefit of killing them in the Abyss is that they are very aggressive creatures. Therefore, you can AFK this place if you have a decent defense level.

Question: Rune Essence VS Pure Essence

Answer: When you start training rune skill, you must first choose whether you want to use runes or pure essences. For most players, using pure essence is a no-brainer, but if you don't have the knowledge, it's easy to make the mistake of using rune essence. Also, rune essence can only be used until the body is functional.

Although Rune Essence is cheaper than Pure Essence, it doesn't provide as many runes. Pure Essence will give you much more, which is ideal for making a profit.
