Alchemy

Runes for your own spells

• Water-Rune at 1. Free at the Swamp and Summit. 2 per ore from 51.
• Air-Rune at 5. Free at the Dunes, Summit and Crater. 2 per ore from 55.
• Earth-Rune at 10. Free at the Swamp and Dunes. 2 per ore from 60.
• Fire-Rune at 15. Free at the Crater. 2 per ore from 65.

• 1 rune per ore at first. It climbs to 2 per ore over 50 levels.
• Each circle binds two elements for free.
• Anywhere else, bring the element: a bucket of water (the bucket comes back), an empty vial, soft clay or ashes, one per ore.

Compound runes count as two

• Mire-Rune at 40 = water + earth. Bind it at the Swamp circle only.
• Grit-Rune at 46 = air + earth. Bind it at the Dunes circle only.
• Squall-Rune at 52 = air + water. Bind it at the Summit circle only.
• Blaze-Rune at 58 = air + fire. Bind it at the Crater circle only.

• One compound rune pays for both of its elements when a spell needs them.
• Or Fuse two elemental runes into one compound at any circle. You lose nothing.
• From 70, a second compound per ore starts to appear. It's certain at 99.
• From 95, Fuse in your pack, no circle needed.

Chaos, death and blood runes

• Chaos-Rune at 70, at the Dunes circle. Each takes 2 Writ runes and 2 pale ore (1 by 99).
• Death-Rune at 80, at the Summit circle. Each takes 6 Writ runes and 3 pale ore (2 by 99).
• Blood-Rune at 90, at the Crater circle. Each takes 20 Writ runes and 5 pale ore (4 from 96).

• First find the Figure of Words (level 70). See Secrets.
• Writ runes come from the Blot circle in the Wilderness, from level 70.
• Each ore pays the same XP as that circle's compound, so making them never slows your training.

Teleport slates

• Varrock slate at 25: 1 pale ore, 3 air, 1 law and 1 fire runes.
• Lumbridge slate at 31: 1 pale ore, 1 earth, 3 air and 1 law runes.

• Watchtower slate at 58: 1 pale ore, 2 earth and 2 law runes.

• Find the Figure of Ways first (level 25).
• Bind them at any circle except the Blot.
• Snap a slate to teleport. No Magic level, no runes.
• Works anywhere the teleport spell works, away from combat.
• Doesn't work in combat, or anywhere other players can attack you, like the Wilderness.
• The Ardougne and Watchtower slates need their spell learned first.
• If Snap can't work, you keep the slate.

Grow gems, retune staffs

• uncut emerald at 30: 3 uncut sapphires make 1 (10 XP).
• uncut ruby at 45: 3 uncut emeralds make 1 (15 XP).
• uncut diamond at 60: 3 uncut rubies make 1 (25 XP).

• Grow needs the Figure of Kinds (level 30). Nothing grows into dragonstone.
• Retune at 40: turn an elemental battlestaff, or one orb of a dual staff, to another element for 10 runes of it (50 XP).
• Or turn 5 elemental runes into 4 of another (no XP).

Unmake armour for bars

• Bronze from 1 (3 XP a bar)
• Iron from 10 (6 XP a bar)
• Steel from 20 (10 XP a bar)
• Mithril from 35 (16 XP a bar)
• Adamant from 50 (24 XP a bar)
• Rune from 70 (40 XP a bar)

• Use a smithed piece on a circle: get 50% of its bars back, rising to 70% at 99.
• 33 pieces qualify. See the list.
• From 47, Reshape turns a piece into another of the same metal for 1 nature rune.
• Nothing ever comes out worth more than went in.
