The '''Air altar''' may be found west of [[Varrock]], east of the [[River Lum]], and close to the bridge near [[Gunnarsgrunn]]. It is used to craft [[Air rune]]s from [[rune essence|rune]] or [[Pure essence]], providing 5 [[Runecrafting]] [[experience]] per essence used. As with most other [[runecrafting altars]], it can be accessed via the [[Abyss]]. Players could also enter its ruins by using a [[air talisman]], an [[Elemental talisman]] or an [[Omni-talisman]] on it, or simply clicking the ruins while wearing a [[Air tiara]], [[Omni-tiara]], a [[wicked hood]] imbued with any of the above, an [[Omni-talisman staff]] or a [[air talisman staff]].

==Access==
Currently, the fastest way to get there is to use the Wicked hood's teleport, which could only be used twice a day and only after feeding it with any of the items above except the talisman staves, and breaking an [[air altar teleport]] tablet, both to appear just outside the altar. You could obtain a wicked hood by talking to [[Tam McGrubor]], and air altar teleport tablets by playing [[Great Orb Project]]. They cost 30 [[Runecrafting guild tokens]] each.

Currently, the fastest way to get there is to used the wicked hood's teleport, which could only be used 2 times, or 3 if all the [[wicked robes]] have been purchased from the [[Runespan]]. The second fastest way is to break an [[air altar teleport]] tablet. Both of these methods teleport the player just outside of the altar. The wicked hood can be obtained by talking to [[Tam McGrubor]], and the teleport tablets by playing the [[Great Orb Project]].
The maximum likely limit for crafting air runes in one air altar visit is 1736. This would be achieved by having 99 Runecrafting (giving a 10x bonus) and carrying 161 runes to craft (24 in the normal inventory. 30 in the 4 sizes of Runecrafting pouch, 100 claimed from the [[Wicked hood]] and 7 with any abyssal summoning creature) whilst wearing an explorer's ring (Which generally has a 1 in 10 chance of creating an extra rune per essence - of course as 1 in 10 chances can happen more than 1 in 10 times in a row the theoretical maximum limit is 1793 but this is highly unlikely). The maximum possible experience per visit would be 1630 achievable by wearing [[Air runecrafting gloves]] whilst carrying all pouches and with an abyssal familiar.

It is possible to make [[Mist rune]]s, [[Dust rune]]s and [[Smoke rune]]s while at this altar, but at a lower success rate, so some runes may be lost. To make these requires one set of elemental runes, a stack of [[Pure essence]] and 2 talismans. Performing this action uses up a talisman.

==Experience==
 
The maximum likely limit for crafting air runes in one visit is 2,530. This would be achieved by having 99 Runecrafting, giving a 10x bonus, and carrying 253 essence to craft (23 in the normal inventory along with 48 in the 5 sizes of Runecrafting pouches, along with 175 claimed from the wicked hood (if all the wicked robes have been purchased, and 7 from any abyssal Summoning familiar), whilst wearing an explorer's ring (which has a 1 in 10 chance of producing an extra rune per essence). The maximum possible experience is 2,530 obtained doing the above while wearing [[air runecrafting gloves]].

==Combination Runes==
 
It is possible to make [[mist rune]]s, [[dust rune]]s, and [[smoke rune]]s while at this altar, but at a 50% success rate. This will result in fewer runes than normal being made. To make a combination rune, the player needs one set of elemental runes, a stack of pure essence, and 2 talismans.
  +

Note that you need to use the opposing rune on the altar to craft combination runes. Simply clicking on the altar would just result in regular elemental runes.

[[Magic Imbue]] negates the need of a talisman.
  +
  +
If the player equips a [[binding necklace]], the success rate will increase to 100%. The necklace has a total of 15 uses before breaking. A charge is used each time a batch of combination runes is crafted, instead of each time the altar is entered or for each rune crafted.

If you equip a [[Binding necklace]] your success rate when binding runes like these will increase to 100%, giving you the ability to make as many bound runes as you have [[Rune essence]] and whatever elemental runes you have with you. It has a total of 15 uses before it is broken. You use a charge for each time you use the craft option, not per entrance to a Runecrafting temple. So if you use 20 essence to make steam runes, and then empty your rune pouch to make another group, you will use 2 charges of your necklace.

The maximum possible experience is 2,530 obtained doing the above while wearing air runecrafting gloves.

Combination Runes

It is possible to make mist runes, dust runes, and smoke runes while at this altar, but at a 50% success rate. This will result in fewer runes than normal being made. To make a combination rune, the player needs one set of elemental runes, a stack of pure essence, and 2 talismans.
