Rune Goldberg Machine

The Rune Goldberg Machine is a daily distraction and diversion that involves using the Rune Goldberg Machine, invented by Wizard Goldberg, to turn runes into vis wax, a substance with a variety of effects. It is located in the Runecrafting Guild, giving it a requirement of 50 Runecrafting to access.

Operation
The Rune Goldberg Machine accepts three different rune types at a time, assigning a different value to each rune. These values are indicative of the efficiency of that rune type when actually used in that slot. It accepts any rune, with the exception of Armadyl runes. These values change daily. Players can insert runes into the machine to see their value, but for every combination tried, the required amount of runes of each of the three types selected will be increased by 0.5%. The total value of the runes affects how much vis wax is created. The following table shows the number of runes of a particular type that are required to feed such runes into the machine, assuming the player has not yet tested any combinations that day.

Each of the three slots has a "best" rune, which changes daily. The first slot counts for 30% of the total vis wax, and is the same for every player. The second slot also counts for 30%, and is one of three possible runes. The final slot counts for 40% of the total amount of wax, and is randomly assigned to each player.

If Goldberg is asked for help with the machine, he will suggest a particular rune which has been previously shown to him by another player.
