Runesphere

The Runesphere is a distraction in the Runespan. It generally requires multiple people to successfully siphon off its many layers of runic energy, converting rune essence into runes of whichever stage it is currently.. Players also receive rune dust, which can be exchanged with the runesphere core for 10 Runecrafting experience per dust. The runesphere will disappear after an hour regardless of whether or not all of the layers have been siphoned. You can gain a maximum of 1000 rune dust in a day and can only gain rune dust from one of the runespheres a day, and can only hand in dust once per day. You may still interact with other runespheres each day for just experience and points.

Runespan Event
When a Runesphere is active in the Runespan, an icon will appear at the top left of your screen, saying "runesphere active". You then can find the runesphere on one of the 3 floors at your world. It is not always located on the floor you are currently on, so you might have to go up or down floors to find it.

When you've found it you can start drawing runes and experience from it by siphoning it. When a layer is destroyed, it will turn to the next layer down from the current rune until it reaches air runes and then transforms into pure energy.



While siphoning the sphere, Rune dust will appear in your inventory which can be given to the ball of Rune energy that appears after breaking the whole sphere in return for 10 experience per dust.

Trivia

 * Runespheres also appeared during the See the Future teaser before the Runespan release. During the duration of the event, it changed elements before fading with the rifts that the event created.
 * There have been no known runespheres on free worlds, but Jagex has neither denied nor confirmed speculations that they are a members only feature.
 * You can't get any more Rune dust from a Runesphere when you have logged out or have been to the lobby after you siphoned from it. It will say: You have already siphoned from a Runesphere today. You will still earn XP, but no Rune dust.
 * Depending on your Runecrafting level, it is often better xp to ignore the runesphere when it is at a lower energy state as it can only provide xp per rune created.
