Runecraft

view latest version


You can make charms that include 1 to 5 runes. The amount of runes you can string in a single charm is determined by your level. Only level 50 runecrafters can make 5-charm runes.

Runes dropped by mobs or purchased runes from vendors can be used to craft charms but the more runes you string together, charms will
require at least some of the runes be crafted, enchanted runes:

Information about the runecast effects can be found on the All Runes page.

Runes Enchanted Req'd

2-3 1
4-5 2

There are some things of which to take note:

  • The Thurisaz (AC) rune may only be included once
  • Runes by default have -5 AC. Thurisaz can bring this up to -8
  • Runes that provide a specific effect (like SNEAK, or DETECT INVIS)
    may be included more than once, but the effect will only appear
    once on the item
  • The charms can be worn in either the WRIST or the NECK slot
  • The resultant charm is magical and can be repaired with trueform
  • Example syntax: runecraft charm ansuz 1.ehwaz 2.ehwaz 1.eihwaz 2.eihwaz
