Runecrafting Guide OSRS
From the most hated skill to one of the most profitable.
Runecrafting (RC) used to be notoriously slow. However, the release of Guardians of the Rift (GotR) has made it accessible and widely enjoyed.
Guardians of the Rift
Located in the Temple of the Eye (wizard tower basement). Unlock at level 27 via Temple of the Eye quest. Offers great XP and the Raiments of the Eye outfit (60% more runes).
Traditional Methods
- Lava Runes (Level 23+): Fastest XP in the game but requires intense clicking.
- ZMI / Ourania (Level N/A): Good mid-level XP, safe path on official worlds.
- Blood Runes (Level 77): Very AFK and profitable. Requires 100% Arceuus favor.
