Runecrafting
From the Pantheon Wiki
Runecrafting allows you to craft runes from essence at runic altars, providing an indefinite supply of runes for Magic. Higher levels multiply the number of runes crafted per essence (e.g. double nature runes at 91) and unlock more profitable rune types. Guardians of the Rift has made it substantially more accessible than Abyss running.

Training methods
Base XP values match the original. Pantheon applies a 150x multiplier — multiply any base value below by 150 for in-game XP.
| Level | Method | Location | Base XP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-23 | Craft air runes at Air altar | Air altar, south of Falador | 5 | 5 XP per essence. At 150x rates this is trivial — a single inventory gets you past level 10 quickly. |
| 1-99 | Guardians of the Rift (GOTR) minigame | Guardians of the Rift, Arceuus | 400 | Recommended primary training method on Pantheon. Each game gives large XP chunks and earns Abyssal pearls. |
| 23-77 | Lava runes via ZMI altar | Ourania altar | 10.5 | Fast XP but requires binding necklace. The ZMI altar crafts a mix of runes from pure essence. |
| 77-91 | Craft blood runes — Arceuus altar | Dark Altar / Blood altar, Great Kourend | 23.8 | Dense essence gives 23.8 XP per craft + 16.0 XP at Dark altar = ~39.8 XP per essence. No banking required — mine on-site. |
| 91-99 | Craft double nature runes via Abyss | Abyss / Nature altar | 18 | At 91 RC you craft 2 nature runes per essence, doubling XP and rune output simultaneously — the most profitable method. |
