Altars

Entering The Mysterious Ruins, Dueling Area, Old School Runescape

Altars are the places where you convert your Essences to Runes, these can be found around the map but you won’t find them by using the map icons. All of the altars are located inside the Mysterious Ruins with each in a different dimension. Note that Blood, Soul and Astral Altars are only found in the normal world, not the Mysterious Ruins.

Each Altar requires a Talisman(except for Blood, Soul, and Astral) of the same type to be accessed, or you can use a Tiara of the corresponding type to access which saves you one inventory slot since you can equip it.

These Altars can be found by Right-clicking the Talismans and choose the “locate” option. Directions to the altar will be shown in the chatbox until you reach it.

The table below shows all the Altars as well as the directions to find each.

Runecrafting Tiaras, Old School Runescape

Tiaras are used instead of Talismans to access Altars, however, they cannot be used to replace Talismans when it comes to crafting Combination Runes.

To make a Tiara of a specific type, you should bring a normal Tiara alongside a Talisman of the desired type to the corresponding Altar. After that, you should use the Tiara on the Altar so you can combine it with the Talisman to create a Tiara of a specific type.

A normal Tiara is made by using a Tiara mould with a Silver bar in a Furnace which requires level 23 OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (29)Crafting.

Tiara Types
Air tiara
Mind tiara
Water tiara
Earth tiara
Fire tiara
Body tiara
Cosmic tiara
Chaos tiara
Nature tiara
Law tiara
Death tiara
Wrath tiara

Note that there are no Tiaras or Talismans for the Astral, Soul and Blood runes as their altars are within the same dimension of the normal world not in the Mysterious Ruins.

Multiple Runes

As your OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (30)Runecrafting level increases, the number of runes you can make from each OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (31)Rune/OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (32)Pure essence is increased. But that doesn’t mean you gain more XP as you only gain XP for each OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (33)Rune/OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (34)Pure essence used regardless of the number of runes crafted.

Note that Earth x5 is only obtained if you used a boost of +5 to reach level 104.

Combination Runes

There are some runes that require a specific recipe to be created, these runes are called Combination Runes. It is when you combine 2 types of runes into one Rune, but this is only limited to some runes.

To do that, you need to bring the one half of the combination (1 type of the two runes) along with its matching talisman (tiara doesn’t work) in addition to the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (35)Pure essences needed to the altar that has the same type of the other half of the combination. Also, do not forget the Tiara/Talisman needed to access the altar (usually should be Tiara for more inventory slots).

Important Note: Crafting these runes requires you to use the rune you brought on the altar instead of just clicking on the altar, otherwise you will craft normal runes instead.

Doing that has a success chance of 50% but this can be boosted to 100% by using a OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (36)Binding Necklace. Keep in mind that the Talismans will be consumed either way.

You can use the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (37)Magic Imbue spell to craft Combination Runes which allows you to do the process without bringing a matching Talisman (for 1 type of the two runes). Thus your XP/Hour will be slightly boosted since you will have more inventory slots. You need to cast the spell just before clicking on the Altar.

Having this spell requires level 82 OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (38)Magic and the completion of Lunar Diplomacy Quest to unlock the Lunar spells Book.

Using the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (39)Magic Imbue spell also requires 2 Astral runes, 7 Fire runes and 7 Water runes for each cast. That means having a OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (40)Rune Pouch (explained in the Ourania Altar section) will save you 2 inventory slots. These required runes can be obtained by either crafting them or buying them from the Grand Exchange.

Runecraft LevelProduced RuneRequired RunesExp (Low altar)Exp (High altar)

Note that you will get low XP rates inside the low-level altars such as crafting Dust runes inside the Air altar instead of the Earth altar.

OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (41)Ourania Altar

Ourania Altar Location, Old School Runescape

The Ourania Altar is where you can make any type of runes (except Wrath Runes and the Combination Runes) randomly. It requires no specific OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (43)Runecrafting level, but the higher your OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (44)Runecrafting level, the better runes you can get, the better XP/Hour rate you receive.

This Altar can be accessed without the need for any Talismans or Tiaras, and its mechanism is like any other Altar where you click on the Altar to craft the runes.

Using the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (45)Ourania Teleport spell (requires level 71 OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (46)Magic and the completion of Lunar Diplomacy Quest) is recommended to get the fastest XP/Hour rate as it places you near the entrance of the altar. That means you will have to use it right after crafting the runes to start another round.

OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (47)Ourania Teleport spell requires 6 Earth Runes, 1 Law Rune and 2 Astral Runes for each cast. These runes are obtained by either crafting them or buying them from other players at the Grand Exchange (which is better and faster).

It is advised to use a OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (48)Rune Pouch to store the required runes for the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (49)Ourania Teleport spell so you can have more inventory slots. The OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (50)Rune Pouch can either be obtained from a Slayer master for 750 Slayer Points or Bounty Hunter Shop for 75 Bounty Hunter points. It allows you to store 3 types of runes (16K rune for each type).

There is a bank inside the altar but it requires paying any type of 20 non-combination runes for each time you use it. You can set it up to not take specific runes of your decision instead of taking them randomly, also you can prevent the NPC from asking you each time the same question and to take the runes automatically instead.

Using the previously mentioned OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (51)Rune Pouch is very useful with a certain setup in this altar. You can bring an Earth staff instead of the Earth Runes needed for the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (52)Ourania Teleport which is equipable and will save you a slot in the OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (53)Rune Pouch. This free slot can be filled up with the runes that you will use to pay for the Bank, which means you will end up saving one inventory slot.

There are 2 paths inside the Altar, one of them is very long and the other is dangerous. It is always recommended to take the dangerous path while being in the official Ourania Altar world (no.327) where everybody is there which will reduce the chance of you taking damage.

The XP rates in the Ourania Altar varies depending on your OSRS Runecrafting Guide - Training 1-99 Fast (F2P & P2P Methods) (54)Runecrafting level. Check the table below to know more about it.

The Abyss is generally accessed by speaking to the Mage of Zamorak, north of Varrock, south of the Wilderness Mine after completing Enter the Abyss Quest.
