Runecrafting
 
Runecrafting is the latest skill in Runescape. It was introduced in Late 2003 along with Runescape 2. It's purpose was to allow magicians, and players of any kind to make their own runes, instead of depending on monsters to drop them. The skill requires you to do Rune Mysteries Quest before you can begin making your runes. The quest is very easy.

Above, Is a Rune Essence, these are obtained by speaking to one of the five wizards that can teleport you to the area to mine them. You need a pickaxe to do this. Once teleported, you will see four large areas, all of them with a giant snowman-like object in the center. You must click that, and you will begin to obtain rune essences. There is an unlimited amount of them, there is no respawn needed. Every essence you mine gives you 5 mining experience. Unfortunately, they are not stackable and you will need to bank every load. To leave, find a yellow, circular portal in each room. To be teleported to the Rune Essence Mines, speak to:
  1. Aubury, at the Rune Shop in Varrock
  2. Seridor, In the Wizards tower, Near Draynor.
  3. The Wizard Northeast of Ardounge Market
  4. Wizard in the Magic Guild(66 Magic Required)
  5. A Gnome in the Grand Tree, go downstairs and follow the path.

The Best place for f2p is Aubury, the Best in p2p is at the magic guild, if you can use it.

Talismans
 
Talismans are obtained by killing certain monsters that drop them. However, you are automatically given an air talisman when you complete the quest. To craft a rune, you need it's talisman, the higher the value of the rune, the rarer, and more expensive the talisman will be. Talismans are re-useable, you can use them as many times as you want once you have it.
