Requirements
Skills
- 90 Runecraft (99 recommended)
- 82 Magic for Magic Imbue
- 75 Firemaking recommended
- 66 Agility recommended
- 80 Construction recommended
Equipment and supplies
- Cosmic or catalytic tiara, or an attuned Hat of the Eye
- Rune pouch and Colossal pouch
- Quest point cape or Construction cape for efficient fairy-ring travel
- Dramen or lunar staff where required
- Steam battlestaff or twinflame staff

Quests and access
- Lost City — required

- Fairytale II – Cure a Queen — started, for convenient fairy-ring access
- Lunar Diplomacy — completed for Lunar spells

Spells and assumptions
- Magic Imbue — one cast per trip
- Astral Contact — approximately one cast per eight trips
- 62 essence used per trip; default 65 trips hourly
- Binding necklace use based on the supplied guide's 12.19 necklaces per 65 trips
- One 24,000 GP Scarred extract for each base rune, producing 60 additional runes
How to craft Aether runes efficiently
- Prepare your Scarred extracts at the Scar essence mine, ensuring Hagus' coffer contains enough GP to pay the per-extract conversion cost.
- Equip the appropriate tiara or Hat of the Eye, binding necklace, Raiments of the Eye and steam-capable staff. Carry the Colossal pouch, soul runes, catalysts and essence.
- Travel to Zanaris via a fairy ring, approach the Cosmic Altar and cast Magic Imbue before combining the soul runes with the altar.
- Bank your Aether runes, replenish supplies, repair pouches using Astral Contact when needed and repeat.
The example uses a highly efficient route. Lower Runecraft levels, reduced travel efficiency, missing gear bonuses and time spent acquiring extracts can materially reduce GP/hr.
