The earth altar
Earth altar location
A player crafting runes at the earth altar.
The earth altar is a Runecrafting altar used to make earth runes from rune essence.
To access it, you must either use an earth talisman, earth talisman staff, elemental talisman, omni-talisman staff or an omni-talisman on the mysterious ruins or be wearing an earth tiara or omni-tiara and click on it.
The Earth altar entrance is located east of Varrock and south of the sawmill. It is very close to the balloon transport system, which can be used with a ring of duelling to save travel time. The closest bank from the altar is near to the east gate of Varrock.
The music track "Down to Earth" unlocks at the earth altar.
It is possible to make dust runes , mud runes and lava runes while at this altar, at a mid success rate, so expect to lose a few runes. To make these however you require one set of elemental runes, a stack of pure essence and 2 talismans.
Note: Performing this action uses up a talisman and you will NOT get it back. For example, crafting mist runes would consume 1 water talisman PER craft
In order to make mud runes at this altar you would require, an earth talisman, a water talisman, a stack of water runes and some pure essence. In order to make dust runes at this altar you would require, an earth talisman, an air talisman, a stack of air runes and some pure essence In order to make lava runes at this altar you would require, an earth talisman, a fire talisman, a stack of fire runes and some pure essence
If you equip a binding necklace, your success rate when binding runes like these will increase to 100% ,giving you the ability to make as many bound runes as you have rune essence and whatever elemental runes you have with you. It has a total of 15 uses before it is broken.
E.g.: For each time you use the craft option you use a charge NOT per entrance to a runecrafting temple. So if you use 20 essence to make some steam runes, and then empty your rune pouched to make another group you will use 2 charges of your necklace.
