This skill can probably be considered a Mage's best friend, as spells can often use up many Runes, and with this ability you'll be able to craft your own! Before you can begin Runecrafting, you need to complete the Rune Mysteries Quest.
Runecrafting is an interesting and fun skill to practice in RuneScape, as there are many different kinds of Runes to make, and several parts to making them using this skill. Often times, you will not be standing in the same spot for a long time, so the skill moves along quickly and you can get a great deal of Runes crafted in a short time. Before you can start crafting your own Runes, you need to mine some Rune Essence from the Essence Mine. Of course, not just anyone can find this mine, and only several characters in RuneScape can teleport you to it:
You will also need a Talisman, depending on the type of Rune you wish to make. You need to use the correct Talisman with the ruins around RuneScape to be teleported to an Altar to craft your Runes. Check the Talisman and Altar Charts below for more info. Runecrafting Pouches After completing the Zamorak Mage's Runecrafting task, Members will have the ability to obtain Pouches for carrying Rune Essence. If you carry a pouch while mining essence, you will have a number of additional slots to carry Rune Essence in. There are 4 different sized pouches, each able to hold a certain amount of Rune Essence, but you can only carry 1 of each pouch at a time, and a pouch can only carry one type of Essence at a time.
The different sized pouches are sometimes found from the loot of the Abyssal Creatures in the Abyss, including Abyssal Leeches (level 41), Guardians (level 59) and Walkers (level 81). Over time, your pouches may degrade. This means that they will be able to carry fewer pieces of Rune Essence until you have them repaired. The Dark Mage in the center of the Abyss can repair them for you, and this will return them back to their full capacity. Kinds of Rune Essence As said before, there are two types of Rune Essence in RuneScape: Regular Essence, and Pure Essence.
You will always mine Regular Essence if you are a FreePlayer, or if you're a member with less than level 30 Mining.
Once you have some Rune Essence, you're going to need a Talisman so that you can enter the Altar of the Rune you wish to make. Many of them are dropped by enemies around RuneScape, and after you have the one you need, bring it to the ruins of that specific Rune (If you have an Air Talisman, bring it to the ruins of the Air Altar) and use it with the "Mysterious Ruins" to be teleported to the actual Altar.
A Runecrafting Tiara is mostly the same as a Talisman, except for the fact that you can wear it on your head rather than carry it in your backpack. This way, you can save 1 extra space per trip for Rune Essence, which is very helpful for high level Runes. Check out the Crafting guide for info about making Tiaras. Once you've crafted a regular Tiara, it's time to enchant it. Bring the Tiara to the Runecrafting Altar of your choice, along with the same kind of Talisman. Use the Tiara on the Altar to bind the Talisman and Tiara together to make an enchanted Tiara. This will cause you to lose your Talisman, but it's very useful in making higher level Runes since you don't need to use it with the altar to access it (thus saving a space in your inventory).
Now that you have both your Rune Essence and a Talisman for the kind of Rune you want to make, you need to find the Altar to which the Talisman belongs to. You can choose the "Locate Altar" option for the Talisman itself and be pointed in the correct direction, or follow the directions and look at the maps in the below chart. Anyhow, just use your Talisman with the "Mysterious Ruins" to be brought to the Altar. To make the Runes, just select the "Rune-Craft Altar" option from the Altar itself to craft all of the Essence in your backpack into Runes. Tip: You can mouse-over any of the "mini-maps" below to see an enlarged picture of the altar's location!
When you first start Runecrafting, you will only be able to make 1 of each rune per Essence. Upon reaching a certain Runecrafting level, you'll have the ability to make multiple Runes from a single Essence, since you'll have more control and skill over crafting them. You will always receive the same amount of experience from crafting each kind of Rune, regardless of the number you make.
Combination Runes are a newer addition to Runecrafting for Members, and they are very useful to Wilderness Player-Killing. The basic idea is that you can combine 2 Elemental Runes together to make a single Rune. This newly-formed Rune counts as 2 different elements, such as both Water and Air. Only Elemental Runes such as Air, Water, Earth and Fire can be combined. You can create the following Runes:
Combining Runes In order to combine Runes, you'll need a few things including 1 of each Talisman, 1 type of Rune, and Rune Essence. So, if you wanted to make Mist Runes, bring an Air and a Water Talisman, either Air or Water Runes (whichever you wish to use), and Rune Essence. Depending on which Runes you choose to bring along, go to the other Temple (if you're making Mist Runes and bringing Air Runes, go to the Water Temple). Enter the temple using the correct Talisman as usual, and then use the other Talisman on the Altar to combine the Runes. Warning: The Talisman that is the same as the Runes you carry will be used up when combining them! Plan on losing 1 Talisman each time you combine Runes, so it would be wise to bring Runes who's Talismans you have more of. Necklace of Binding The Necklace of Binding will give you a 100% success rate while combining Runes while worn. It can be obtained by enchanting an Emerald Necklace using the Enchant Level 2 Jewelry spell.

Once you're in the mine, just mine some Essence from any Rune Essence rock.
You will either get

including Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Mind and Body. Member Runes such as Nature
or Law Runes can't be crafted using this kind of essence.
