Raging Echoes League/Guide/Runecraft

Overview

All players begin the league with level 5 Runecraft. The training methods are mostly the same as the main game, depending on which altars are available. There are many sources of pure essence drops such as spoils of war chests, the brimstone chest, the Scar essence mine, and Zalcano. Daeyalt essence provides 50% extra experience per essence and can be mined from the daeyalt essence mine if Morytania Morytania✓ is unlocked.

Runecrafting is modified by the following relics:

  • Power Miner automatically banks all items gained through Mining,
  • Total Recall allows players to quickly teleport back to an altar from a bank.
  • Banker's Note lets players un-note pure essence at altars, eliminating the need to travel back and forth to get more essence.

Training

Guardians of the Rift

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

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.

Other equipment

Item Region Notes
Essence pouches Wilderness Wilderness✓ or Desert Desert✓ or Fremennik Fremennik✓ Although essence pouches can be obtained in the starting region via ALR, they can only be repaired in the Guardians of the Rift minigame or through the dark mage.
Colossal pouch Desert Desert✓ The colossal pouch is created by combining all essence pouches with an abyssal needle obtained from the Guardians of the Rift minigame.
Daeyalt essence Morytania Morytania✓ Requires 60 Mining and the Sins of the Father quest. Provides 50% extra Runecraft XP when used. This bonus is multiplicative with the 70% bonus at the Ourania Altar, for a total bonus of 155%. This is significantly faster overall to train Runecraft than using pure essence when including the time necessary to obtain each. Daeyalt essence cannot be noted making it less efficient than other methods if using banker's note.
Blood essence Desert Desert✓ or Asgarnia Asgarnia✓ While activated and in the inventory, it will give a 50% chance to craft an extra blood rune per pure essence, daeyalt essence, guardian essence or dark essence fragment for no additional experience.
Pure essence Misthalin Misthalin✓ Tirannwn Tirannwn✓ Requires 30 Mining, pre-requisites are auto-unlocked. Zulrah provides an average of 120~ Pure essence per kill and can easily compete with normal mining methods. The Nightmare Zone reward shop cannot be used to obtain pure essence in the Trailblazer Reloaded League. Soul Wars can be utilised to obtain high amounts of pure essence in relatively little time by opening Spoils of war. The official Raging Echoes League Soul Wars worlds are 328,347,404 and 537.
Binding necklace Misthalin Misthalin✓ Used to create combination runes with a 100% success rate. Degradable, has 16 uses. May be created with level 27 Magic and level 29 Crafting. Uncommon drop from the Abyssal Sire in increments of 25.
