Astral rune



''This item is about the rune which allows players to cast Lunar Spells. For the unique rune obtained during Glorious Memories, see Unfinished astral rune.''

Astral runes are runes used in all Lunar Spells. Astral runes require level 40 Runecrafting to craft. They may be crafted by using Pure essence at the Astral altar on Lunar Isle after the completion of Lunar Diplomacy. 8.7 Runecrafting experience is gained per essence crafted, and at level 82 Runecrafting, players can craft two astral runes per pure essence.

Astral runes may not be crafted via the Abyss. There is no talisman needed to access the astral altar; the astral altar is the only Runecrafting altar besides the Ourania altar that does not have a talisman associated with it.



Astral runes can also be obtained from mining a crashed star. The amount of runes received depends on how much stardust the player has mined. There is a limit of 200 stardust, making 52 the maximum number of astral runes available from one star.

Astral runes may also be purchased from certain shops. Baba Yaga's shop located north of the bank on Lunar Isle stocks 100 astral runes. The house is a moving house with bird legs on it, walking east and west. Players must have a Seal of Passage with them when attempting to trade with Baba Yaga or they'll be thrown off the island.
