To start using the runecrafting skill you need, as with herblore, to complete
a quest. The Rune Mysteries quest begins in the Castle of Lumbridge, where the duke has found a mysterious thing. Take it
to the wizard tower south of draynor. Enter the basement and talk to Sedridor the wizard. He'll tell you to take a talisman
to the rune merchant Aubury in Varrock. Do so, and he'll ask you to go back to Sedridor. Speak to the wizard, and you will
complete the quest. Congratulations, you can now teleport to the Rune Essence by talking to Sedridor, Aubury, the wizard in
Ardougne, the gnome hiding in a cave in the south west corner of Gnome Stronghold, or a wizard in the magic guild.
Rune
Essences look like this:  and you recieve 5 points of exp to mining.
To craft runes, you will first need a talisman. In the quest, you receive
an air talisman for free, the others you'll have to obtain yourself. Luckily, I know where to get them, as they're all obtained
by killing monsters:

you have a talisman, you're going to need some empty runes to make magical. These are obtained by mining the Rune Essence,
and therefore they're called Rune Essences. They are not stackable, but fairly easy to mine, taking no mining level; the better
pick you have, the faster you get essences. Talk to one of the teleporters listed above (make sure to bring a pick), and ask
to go to the Rune Essence. Mine how many you'd like and use one of the portals to go back.
To craft the essences into
runes, you need to find the temple of the element you wish to make runes of, e.g. the air temple for air runes. Use the locate
option on your talisman and follow the direction, or look here to find the temples:
| Element: |
Where is the Temple? |
| Air |
South west of Falador south gate. |
| Mind |
On the hill above goblin village, 3 steps from wildy. |
| Water |
Lumbridge swamp, southeast from the place where you start the lost city quest
|
| Earth |
North east of Varrock |
| Fire |
North of Al Kharid, east of the mining chasm and just after the duel arena
|
| Body |
Just west of Barbarian Village |
| Cosmic* |
Inside Zanaris (lost city), south of the cow pen in lost city, there's a new
long tunnel there and at the end is the cosmic altar. |
| Chaos* |
In level 9 wilderness, north of Edgeville, there is a large maze inside,
but don't get your hopes up about this one as it takes easily twice as long to make chaos runes than cosmic runes, and pkers
tend to hang around the altar from time to time. |
| Nature* |
Deep Karamja jungle, just north of Shilo. |
| Law* |
Northern side of Entrana, just over the bridge leading to the unicorns
and firebird. |

To
enter the temple, use your talisman on the mysterious ruins. To craft the runes, just click the Craft-rune option at the alter
inside the temple. This will automatically make all the essence you carry into the corresponding rune. Each temple represents
their element in construction, so the fire temple is a volcano, the cosmic is deep space, and the chaos is a maze, fit for
panicking.
When you achieve a certain level of runecrafting, you will make additional runes of one kind each essence
you make. Look in the table below for the levels and xp given. Please note that you get xp each essence you make, not each
rune.
