About Time!
Skills are part of the foundation of RuneScape, guiding every player's growth and experience. They shape the adventures you embark on, the challenges you overcome, and the way you engage with the world of Gielinor. To help keep things fresh and exciting, we're continuing our 110 Skilling journey with Runecrafting!
The art of Runecrafting is evolving and improving. Now, alongside crafting runes at altars and siphoning essence in the Runespan, you will also be able to train by imbuing magical weapons! Other additions include Time Runes for time-altering spells, the largest-ever Expansive Pouch, new utility-based magic, imbued eternal weapons, and the ultimate Masterwork Staff for endgame mages.
