Stage One Of Making Runes

1.      To make runes you will need to mine a rock called Rune essence, to find this rock you will need to have completed the Rune Mysteries Quest so that the wizard Sedridor and the Rune seller Aubury can teleport you to the Rune Essence mine. YOU WILL NEED A PICK FOR THIS JOB. Now you are right in front of a large magical rock; mine it until you have as many blank Rune essence as you want. 5 xp for each one mined and it takes around a minute to mine 28 with an Adamant pickaxe.

2.      Creating Magic Runes: Now that you have all these blank runes you will need to charge them. Using your Air talisman, right-click it and select Locate, it will tell you which direction the Air rune charging area is. You are looking for a strange large round stone with rocky ruins surrounding it. When you reach the correct ruin, use your talisman on it and you will be teleported to the runecrafting temple. Right click the stone altar there and select "make air runes". Now that all your blank runes are Air runes, you can continue making runes, increasing your level so that you can make more powerful runes. I made 18 runes and got to level 2 Runecrafting. The next rune you will be able to make at level 2 is Mind runes.

Lvl 1: Air runes - Air altar is south of Fallador

Lvl 2: Mind runes - Mind altar is north of Fallador between Ice mountain and Goblin village

Lvl 5: Water runes - Water altar is south of Lumbridge

Lvl 9: Earth runes - Earth altar is northeast of Varrock

Lvl 14: Fire Runes - Fire altar is on the northwest corner of the Dueling Arena, north of Al Kharid

Lvl 20 : Body runes - Body altar is east of Ice Mountain, just west of the Barbarian Village and south of the Monastery
