Dragonwilds:Runecrafting training

width= 70x70 This page details the optimal training methods for levelling up Dragonwilds:Runecrafting.

Levelling up Runecrafting grants access to both passive benefits as well as unlocking Dragonwilds:spells and other abilities. Every level increases the attunement phase duration of Runecrafting by 0.6%, up to a maximum of 58.8% at level 99.

The Method section does not include any experience boosts.

Gathering Rune Essences

This section is split into two; one for gathering the rune essences, the second for training.

Food (Dragonwilds:Knowledgable Nourishment)	Template:Plink	Template:Plink	Template:Plink	N/A

Food & potions perks:

*Perks: Food perks do NOT stack. Eating another food after consuming a different one overrides its perk(s) with the most recent food eaten. Potions behave like this as well; drinking a new potion will immediately overwrite your active potion buff. While players cannot layer multiple foods or multiple potions, one potion + one food perks can be stacked together simultaneously.

  • Water, Astral to cast the spells mentioned below;

Strategy

Level 1-3width=60x60

Air rune is the first craftable rune unlocked.

Level 3-11width=60x60

Astral runes.

Level 15-25width=60x60

Earth runes.

Level 25-38width=60x60

Fire runes.

Level 38-50 width=60x60

Nature runes.

Level 50-99width=60x60

The final available rune to craft is the law rune at level 50.

Players can expect to use approximatively ~13,000 rune essences to achieve level 99 from level 50 with law runes if these conditions are respected:

• Focused Runecrafting potion +30% XP
• Inspiring ring of Runecrafting +5% XP
• Knowledgable Nourishment + 10% XP
• 50 rune essences per attunement
• Perfect attunement every time

Players can expect about ~3754 XP per 50 rune essences and 500 law runes if these conditions are met

If the player does not use any experience boosting items, they can expect to use ~19,000 rune essences from level 50 to 99 and get about ~2500 XP per perfect attunement.

In theory*, by using the Dragonwilds:Runes to Rune Essence spell on runes, then its upgrade at level 81 (giving back 40% then 60% of the rune essences), players would only need:

• ~5630 rune essences from level 50 to 99 with boosts
• ~8470 rune essences from level 50 to 99 without boosts

*As of right now, the spell seems to be bugged and gives random amounts of Rune Essences back.

General advices

• Perfecting rune infusion and mechanics
• Rune vents
• Auto craft vs. attune
