Runecrafting Guild



The Runecrafting Guild is a guild that was released on 12 August 2008. Players must have a Runecrafting level of at least 50 to enter. It is currently run by Wizard Elriss, an established member of the Guild. Elriss, apart from managing the guild, is also its shop owner, selling goods in exchange for Runecrafting guild tokens. Elriss is not only the Guild's founder, manager, and store-owner, but also an esteemed magical theorist and researcher. The Runecrafting Guild is more similar to a research center than a guild, as wizards work together to create theories on Runecrafting. To wizards, this is probably the best place to research Runecrafting theories, as there are players helping them, special equipment and other wizards to discuss their point of view on a theory.

Location
⌊undefined⌋

The Runecrafting Guild is located within the Wizard's Tower in southern Misthalin. It may be accessed through a portal on the first floor of the Wizard's Tower. The tower is located south from Draynor Village, or through the East teleport in the Wizards' Guild.

Travel

 * Members may use Fairy rings code DIS (behind the Wizards' Tower)
 * Teleport using the Amulet of Glory (to the Draynor market).
 * Free-to-play players can use the cabbage teleport of the Explorer's ring.
 * Runecrafting Guild teleport tablets purchased in the Guild offer a quick teleport to the Guild.

The Great Orb Project
One of the main features of the guild is a two-party minigame called The Great Orb Project, in which players aim to collect as many of their colour orbs as possible by moving them into the altar. At the same time, players must deter the other team's orbs from reaching the altar. For the worlds where this minigame is played, see the Great Orb Project article.

Elriss' store
All items bought from Elriss' store require Runecrafting guild tokens.

Runecrafter Robes

 * All three sets of Runecrafter Robes may be stored in the Magic wardrobe in the Costume Room.

Bonuses

 * Runecrafter gloves provide a +2 bonus.
 * Runecrafter robes provide a +3 bonus.
 * Runecrafter skirts provide a +3 bonus.

The bonuses provided by this clothing, in addition to how high the Runecrafting level is, allows the player to get the orbs to move at a slightly faster speed, whether attracting or repelling them, and also allows the player to interact with orbs from a greater distance.

The Omni-talisman
The omni-talisman is a talisman created by Wizard Elriss to enable players to access every altar with one talisman (provided they meet the respective quest requirements). If players show her one of each of the talismans or tiaras (for each of the Runecrafting altars), she will award them with Runecrafting experience for each (a total of 20,000 experience), as well as the omni-talisman. This feature is only available to members. She does not keep the talismans.

To craft an omni-talisman into a tiara or Runecrafting staff, players should take it to Wizard Korvak. He can be found in wandering around the Runecrafting Guild. If players lose the omni-talisman (including by crafting it into a tiara or staff), they can get a free replacement from Wizard Elriss.

A Runecrafting staff can be attached to any talisman to be made into Talisman staff, which allows players to use them exactly as they would use a Runecrafting tiara, as well as distracting the eyes in the Abyss to help them sneak past. To bind a talisman to a staff, simply take the talisman and the staff to the talisman's altar and use either of them on it.

Note: The law talisman staff (created by attaching a law talisman to a Runecrafting staff) has no combat bonuses, so it may be taken onto Entrana. Omni-talisman staves, however, do have combat bonuses so they cannot be taken onto Entrana. A Runecrafting staff that does not have a talisman attached cannot be wielded.

Runecrafting Teleport Tablets
Runecrafting teleport tablets are identical in functionality to the teleport tablets that may be built in a player-owned house and may be used to teleport the player to any altar provided they have the requirements to craft the runes. However, players cannot craft their own Runecrafting teleport tablets.

Rune Essence
The last reward a player may buy with their Runecrafting guild token is essence. Though the reward screen says "Rune Essence", the type of essence received actually depends on the World they are on. Free players obtain Rune essence by exchanging their tokens while Members obtain Pure essence if they are exchanging their tokens on a members world. The essence are noted for making power traning using Altar-Tabs not possible.

Rune Altar Map
There is a map in the center of the Guild, which may be used to locate all of the Runecrafting altars in Gielinor. To locate an altar, players must use a talisman on the map, or click on a talisman in their inventory while the map is open. Using the omni-talisman will reveal all altars on the map (except the Astral Altar, which does not require a talisman to access).

The map is also interesting in that it does not show any unexplored, black areas like the world map of Gielinor does. However, the rune altar map may not be as accurate as the world map. For example, Dragontooth Island is clearly missing. The map is almost identical to the one Wizard Sedridor keeps in his chamber in the Basement of the Tower

Arcane devices
There are many odd devices scattered throughout the Guild. These devices can be activated, but their uses, if any (beyond just decoration), are currently unknown.

Trivia

 * This is the only skill-oriented guild in which the skill cape seller is not present.
 * A trap door on the floor of this guild indicates that there may be additional rooms and/or features to be added to this guild in the future, perhaps with additional Runecrafting-related quests.
 * This is the first guild that allows access via a portal.
 * A few days after the release of this minigame, players could only buy a maximum of 50 essence per exchange of tokens. Now, players can buy any amount of essence per exchange of tokens.
 * A Gyroscope is a real item which is used for measuring orientation or maintaining it, the Gyroscope is also an item used in the game "Torqing!" on FunOrb.com.
 * The Runecrafting Theory Journal is mentioned within the guild, but does not appear in game.
 * If you have 50 Runecrafting and have been in the guild before, when you log off while in an altar it may log you back in at the guild.
 * The floating rock where the guild was built on, has the same shape as the island where the wizards tower stands on. This is maybe because the Runecrafting guild was built in the shadow of the old destroyed wizards tower.
