The rune pouch is an item that can store 16,000 of three types of runes (except runes found in the Nightmare Zone). Players can cast spells using the runes stored in the pouch, so a rune pouch saves inventory space. Using a needle, the rune pouch can be upgraded to a divine rune pouch with a thread of Elidinis and level 75 Crafting. Players cannot own more than one rune pouch.

If players die a PvP death while carrying a rune pouch in any level Wilderness or in a PvP world, they will lose the rune pouch, unless it has been locked via use of a trouver parchment. It should be noted that the Trouver parchment does not protect runes stored within a Rune pouch upon PvP death.

If players die a PvM death anywhere, including any level Wilderness, the rune pouch is always sent to a gravestone or item retrieval service, unless it has been locked via use of a trouver parchment. Locked rune pouches are kept in the inventory upon PvM death, instead.

Obtaining

A rune pouch can be purchased from any Slayer master for 750 Slayer reward points or from the Mage Training Arena for 150 telekinetic, 150 graveyard, 1500 enchantment, and 200 alchemist pizazz points. A rune pouch note can be purchased from players, the Grand Exchange, or bought from Justine's stuff for the Last Shopper Standing for 75 Last Man Standing points; this note can be exchanged for a rune pouch at any bank.

Interface

The rune pouch storage interface.

Players can use the Settings interface to toggle an option which allows runes to be placed directly into the rune pouch upon pickup and runecrafting, provided that there is a stack of that rune already in the pouch with enough space in it to hold all of them. Alternatively, this option can be toggled by speaking to the magic combat tutor in Lumbridge.

The rune pouch load-out interface.

Players can also make and load presets into the pouch by configuring it while in a bank interface. In this mode, players have ten load-outs available to customise by both the types and quantities of runes and a name for each preset. Runes withdrawn from the bank while the interface is open will be put into the pouch, if space is available.

The names that can be define for a load-out are:
