Where to get runes

It will take some searching, and you will also want to wait until later in the game seeing as some of their power levels can be quite high. These enemies are also worth tracking down as some will drop Treasures of Britain, which puts you one step closer to unlocking Excalibur. Zealots are not the only members of the Order of the Ancients you can kill for these runes, but make sure you have your best bow equipped for these fights.

Those located in the main tree will offer you a chance at some of these runes, but again, it is completely random. However, some say that the rare armor diamond runes can only be acquired by killing these members. There are small chests located across the map and they are marked by a small gold dot. It is fairly rare, but sometimes players say they are lucky enough to receive a diamond rune from one of these chests.

If this is the route you are going then it is best you stick to higher-level regions with gold or tungsten ingots, as these will allow your armor and your best weapons to begin to carry these coveted runes. You probably never stop to fight the random groups of elite opponents that traverse the roadways, but maybe you should.

Sometimes they are marked with a golden dot as they are carrying an ingot, however, they also drop diamond-shaped runes.

The art of magic faded with the supply of runes, until essentially being lost to humans altogether. After finding the essence, they soon after discovered the magical temples that the moon clan had created, and that the essence could be crafted there. Runecrafting soon became widely used in many locations.

The Wizards' Tower was then formed, and became the greatest institution of magic in the land. In year 70 of the Fifth Age the Wizards of the Wizards' Tower discovered how to solve the teleportation problem by routing teleports through another plane: the Abyss. This would allow them to teleport directly to the Rune Essence mine from anywhere in the world, which would greatly increase rune production.

However there was a disagreement over exactly who should get the credit for the discovery, and the source of the actual spell, a Zamorakian demon, was unacceptable to the Saradominist Blue Wizards. The Blue Order abandoned the ritual to create a teleport "anchor" mid-casting, which caused a fire which destroyed the original Wizards' Tower, a catastrophe blamed in later years on the Zamorakian Red Order.

The only survivors of the fire were Perien the Blue and Kelavan the Red. Perien founded a new Wizards' Tower on the site of the old one, and became its Archmage.

Due to what happened to the first tower, which was a collaboration between followers of many gods, Archmage Perien restricted access to the tower to Saradominists only, and started teaching the teleport spell to the Rune Essence to only a select few people so that the Essence didn't fall into the wrong hands. In year of the Fifth Age Wizard Elriss from the Runecrafting Guild opened up more of the Runespan , the pocket dimension in which the Runecrafting Guild is located, where they could create Runes slightly different to those found in Gielinor.

To make them, you will need some elemental runes, a talisman of the same element, and an equal amount of pure essence.

The talisman will be consumed as the combination runes are made. Crafting combination runes uses one of the talismans, so it is recommended that one only crafts combination runes of the talismans one has the most of.
