Runescape: Dragonwilds - Complete Runecrafting Guide

One of the main ways you can fight in Runescape: Dragonwilds is through magic using a battlestaff. Like bows, the staff needs ammunition before you can blast those goblins. That's why you'll want to level up your Runecrafting so that you can make the material components for your spells.

Bloodwood Sap is an important resource if you want to challenge Velgar in Runescape: Dragonwilds, and here's how you can get it.

Runecrafting is one of the skills you can level up in the game and ties well with the other skills because runes are needed to cast spells. Some of these spells need specific runes that are only unlocked through Runecrafting skill progression, so you should know how to level it up effectively.

Runescape: Dragonwilds is in early access, so the content may change over time. We will update this article as needed in the future.

Best Way To Level Up Runecrafting

The main ways you can get Runecrafting XP are through mining Rune Essences and crafting runes. If you're a long-time fan of Runescape, mining for Rune Essences shouldn't be a problem, but if you want it to be faster, you'll also want to craft runes. It's best to use both methods to speed up leveling.

How To Mine Rune Essences

Rune Essences can be found all over the map and look like glowing holes in the ground with floating magical rocks around them. Some of the rocks are found on the ground, while the floating ones you can shoot down with a bow or a battlestaff; all of them can be mined using a pickaxe.

Mining rune essence with a pickaxe or using the Rocksplosion spell will also give you mining XP. Make sure that the floating ones land neatly close to each other so you can take them all out with one spell.

How To Craft Runes

To craft runes, you'll need to first make a Rune Altar through the build menu under the crafting tab. The Rune Altar needs the following materials:

• 12x Stone
• 4x Rune Essences

Unlike other crafting benches, the Rune Altar doesn't need to be inside a building for it to work.

Each Rune type only needs one Rune Essence to craft ten, so you can level up fast if you mine a lot of them and just craft a bunch of runes.

How To Unlock All Runes

Unlike other skills, the Runecrafting skill doesn't have any passive bonuses when you level up. What you do get, though, are a couple of spells as well as unlocking Runes. There are six runes in total in the game, and each one of them is unlocked by increasing this skill.

Here are all the things you can unlock through the Runecrafting skill:
