'''Runecrafting''' is one of the ten [[Dragonwilds:skill|Skills]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' and allows players to create their own [[Dragonwilds:Runes]] for use in casting combat [[Dragonwilds:Magic]] and other [[Dragonwilds:Spells]].

Players earn Runecrafting experience by imbuing [[Dragonwilds:Rune Essence|Rune Essences]] into runes at [[Dragonwilds:Rune Altar|Rune Altars]]. These essences can be mined from [[Dragonwilds:Rune Essence Geyser|Rune Essence Geysers]] or fallen [[Dragonwilds:Rune Essence (Rock)|Rune Essence Rocks]], which will also award experience in Runecrafting, or by collecting them from [[Dragonwilds:Pack|Packs]].

== Boosts ==
Players can consume [[Dragonwilds:Potions]], eat [[Dragonwilds:Food]], or equip [[Dragonwilds:Trinkets]] to boost their Runecrafting experience gain rate.

* [[Dragonwilds:Weak Focused Runecrafting Potion]] - Provides a 5% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Focused Runecrafting Potion]] - Provides a 5% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Sweet Veg Ball]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Wild Pie]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Inspiring Ring of Runecrafting]] - Provides a 5% XP boost while worn

==Training==
{{Future content}}
From 0.11 onward, Runecrafting can be trained in other ways. Aside from direct imbuing in the altar (or auto crafting), players can attempt to attune rune essence to specific anima types (like Air, Water, Law, etc). Depending on the strength of the attuned anima and skill, players can acquire bonus runes of that specific type.

Another way to train runecrafting is by siphoning [[Dragonwilds:Anima Vent]]s found throughout the continent. By using your rune essence on these vents. Depending on the strength of the vent, players can acquire runes without a rune altar. It was revealed in a livestream on the official ''Dragonwilds'' channels that these Anima Vents will produce specific sounds related to their specific type.

==Level up table==
''See [[Dragonwilds:experience]] for a table of the experience required to reach each level.''

Leveling up Runecrafting grants access to unique passive benefits, in addition to unlocking [[Dragonwilds:Spells]] and other abilities.

==Trivia==
*In ''{{OSL|Old School RuneScape}}'', the skill is named "Runecraft", without the "-ing", although in ''{{RSL|RuneScape}}'' it is also named "Runecrafting".
*Unlike the counterparts in ''{{OSL|Old School RuneScape}}'' and ''{{RSL|RuneScape}}'', the [[Dragonwilds:Runecrafting Guild]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' lays in ruins and serves no purpose related to the Runecrafting skill.
