Gatestone

A Gatestone is an item used only in the Dungeoneering skill. By making one with the Create Gatestone spell and dropping it in a location of choice, the player can use the Gatestone Teleport to teleport directly to it. This is useful if a player wishes to return to a room that is far away. However, be aware that dropping while in the Smuggler interface does not activate the ability to teleport to it.

As of 28 April 2010, Jagex has changed it such that players can no longer use Gatestone Teleport in the Boss rooms in a hidden update. Players could originally use it as a means of escape when out of food during the boss fight.

Only one gatestone can be dropped at any time. Multiple gatestones cannot be made either. If a gatestone is already in the player's inventory, a message appears saying, "You already have a gatestone in your pack. Making another would be pointless. If a gatestone has already been dropped and the player attempts to make another one, the currently existing gatestone may be destroyed.

The player may only teleport once per stone. If the player dies with a stone, it will automatically drop onto the floor, allowing the player to quickly teleport to the location.

Alchemising the gatestone can be good free mage training for patient players willing to spend some time at the end of the dungeon creating gatestones and then alchimizing them.
