Demonic Pacts League/Guide/Runecraft

All players begin with 5 Runecraft and the completion of Rune Mysteries. As the starting areas is Varlamore, there is no default access to the rune essence mine or any low-level runic altars, meaning training Runecraft from level 1 through traditional methods requires unlocking additional regions.

For Varlamore-only Runecraft methods, sulphurous essence can be turned in to Eyatlalli for Runecraft XP. This method is available at level 1, as the Perilous Moons quest is automatically completed for all players; however, level 48 slayer is required to kill the Sulphur Nagua. As all talisman tiaras can be created with level 1 Runecraft, players can create Cosmic talisman tiaras at the Cosmic Altar in Zanaris ; crafting tiaras requires level 23 Crafting. At level 27, crafting runes at the Cosmic Altar in Zanaris becomes possible, and at level 33 Runecraft, players can begin crafting sunfire runes by using fire runes (purchasable from the Tal Teklan Rune Shop or The Runic Emporium in Cam Torum), sunfire splinters, and pure essence on a Shrine of Ralos .

To circumvent low-level training, the lamp rewarded for completing the easy Karamja Diary can be used on Runecraft (or any other skill) from level 1. With the tier 4 relic and its x12 XP multiplier unlocked, the lamp will give enough experience for level 28 Runecraft, allowing for crafting of cosmic runes immediately. Nonetheless, runecrafting training should be avoided until the x16 XP multiplier is unlocked, and even then, training is tedious due to the distance from altars and a bank.

Pure essence can be mined at the rune essence mine with Kandarin✓ unlocked or the Lunar Isle mine with Fremennik✓ unlocked, and daeyalt essence can be mined from the daeyalt essence mine with Morytania✓ unlocked. Otherwise, pure essence can be obtained through monster drops, the brimstone chest , Larran's big chest , the Scar essence mine , or Zalcano .

If was chosen, train at Ourania Altar. If was chosen, train at Blood Altar once reached, as it provides the most experience, even over double natures. If was chosen, train at the Blood Altar, then move to the Soul Altar when unlocked.

As Misthalin is not available in the Demonic Pacts League, the Water and Earth Altars are not accessible except through Guardians of the Rift .

Runecraft is affected by the following relics:

Soul Harvest (Demonic Pacts League) gives soul shards when harvesting Farming crops (including harvesting fruit in Tithe Farm and harvesting herbs in the Chambers of Xeric) or as a replacement for bones or ashes when killing an NPC. Soul shards are stackable and can be used in place of pure essence. The player can passively gain a large amount of shards through farm runs (depending on their relics and regions) or through slayer tasks with enemies that drop ashes or bones.

Transmute (Demonic Pacts League) allows the player to transmute air runes into noted pure essence, allowing for passive acquisition of large amounts of essence if Soul Harvest was not taken.

The earliest training method available is acquiring sulphurous essence as a drop from sulphur naguas in Neypotzli and exchanging it with Eyatlalli for Runecraft XP.

With the Desert✓ unlocked and 27 Runecraft, players may train through the Guardians of the Rift minigame. There are requirements to create certain runes:

• Death runes require Mourning's End Part II
• Blood runes require Sins of the Father

The minigame offers helpful rewards for Runecrafting such as the colossal pouch for holding more essence and Raiments of the Eye set for crafting extra runes. Additionally, when searching the rewards guardian, abyssal pearls found will be multiplied by the minigame modifier for the relic tier unlocked.

With Kourend✓ unlocked and 77 Runecraft, the dense essence mine may be used to craft at the false blood altar, and at 90, the soul altar.

With Kourend✓ unlocked, requested books may be retrieved from the shelves of the Arceuus Library in exchange for books of arcane knowledge from NPCs in the library, granting experience in either Runecraft or Magic.

With Asgarnia✓ unlocked, the Royal Titans may be looted for Dessicated pages, which may be imbued for 50 base XP per page. If using the "Take pages" option, 10-19 pages are gained per kill.

With Karamja✓ unlocked, 44 Runecraft, 79 Agility, and using the Map of Alacrity relic, the Nature Altar can be reached relatively quickly.

While the Runecraft cape is not available in this league, the max cape provides the same benefits.
