Nature rune

Nature runes are runes that are used for transmutation spells. Members with a Runecrafting skill of 44 or greater can craft nature runes from Pure Essence at the Nature altar. Members with 91 or greater runecrafting always craft two nature runes per essence; those with between 44 and 90 runecrafting have a chance at crafting either one or two nature runes per pure essence, with the probability of two increasing with each runecrafting level. Crafting nature runes yields 9 runecrafting experience per essence (or 18 experience at the Ourania rune altar).

Nature runes are one of the five most traded items in the Grand Exchange because of the frequency of High Level Alchemy spells.

Spells
Along with fire runes (or a staff of fire), nature runes may be used to cast Low Alchemy or High Alchemy spells to convert items to set amounts of coins, to cast Superheat Item spell to smelt ores into bars without a furnace which gives magic and smithing experience. High Alchemy is the most common use of nature runes as it grants high experience for training without danger of death and damage.

Along with earth runes and water runes (or a mud staff, or an earth- or water- rune supplying staff plus the other rune, or an earth rune supplying staff and a Tome of Frost), nature runes may be used to cast bones to bananas and bones to peaches spells, which convert all carried Bones up to Big bones into Bananas or Peaches, respectively. The latter is members-only. Also along with earth and water runes, natures may be also used to immobilize a target using the bind, snare or entangle spells, the last two of which are members only.

Nature runes are also used in the Plank make spell in the Lunar spellbook.

In an update on 3 October 2011, the high level alchemy value was changed from 223 coins to 74; and the low level alchemy value was changed from 148 coins to 49. This was due to many players using the High Alchemy spell to convert the nature runes into coins as it yielded a very slight profit, granting easy magic experience for very little cost.

Runecrafting
Crafting Nature runes is Members only. The teleport to the Graahk hunter area on Karamja offers a very fast way to make Nature runes. This can be accessed by left-clicking 'interact' on the Spirit Graahk, then clicking "Teleport". After teleporting, it takes about 30 seconds to reach the Nature altar, which is a lot faster than the average time it takes to reach the nature altar using the Abyss. With four Runecrafting pouches, complete trips to the Nature altar can be done in under 60 seconds, allowing over 3000 pure essence to be crafted into nature runes per hour. Each Spirit Graahk lasts 49.5 minutes before a new pouch is needed. An alternate method is to use the Fairy ring network (code C-K-R for Karamja near the altar).

Spawns
There is also a lava-surrounded island in high level wilderness, south east of the demonic ruins, where 2 nature runes may be telegrabbed from a spawn. Each telegrab yields 1 nature rune.

Shops
Members may purchase nature runes in the Mage Arena, Mage Training Arena, the Magic Guild in Yanille, or the Lunar Isle.

Change in alchemy value

 * In an update on 3 October 2011, the high level alchemy value was changed from 223 coins to 74; and the low level alchemy value was changed from 148 coins to 49. This was done because the Grand Exchange price of nature runes dropped under 111GP. From below this price, Nature runes could be alched for a small profit. Example: 2 x 111 = 222 GP = 1GP profit.
 * On 4 October 2011, Mod Mat K explained the change:

Levels 1 to 24

 * }

Levels 25 to 49

Levels 50 to 74

Levels 75 to 99
