| Runecrafting | Proposed Improvements | 2026-04-20 | Hi Adventurers, It's been a while since we talked about Runecrafting. We sat down with Mod Deluxe and Mod Pointy to look into the ways in which we want to revisit the skill and the changes we intend to make. Let's start with the basics. We're reducing teleportation costs, increasing the volume of runes from vents, boosting XP, and scaling Essence in multiplayer worlds. We're reducing crafting times across all attunements and reducing punishments when cracks form in attunements.

| Runecrafting - Reverting the Change and Next Steps | 2026-03-31 | Hello adventurers,We've been looking at a lot of conversations today - it's been really important to us to listen, take onboard some data and assess decisions today as we see folks get to grips with changes. Two things are clear - you need more runes, and you want longer XP curves.With that in mind, we'll be making two changes. We're going to be changing the Rune Altar outputs from 1:1, to 1:10 - as they were before. Rune Altar outputs will be 1:10, and you will gain bonus runes by engaging with the skilling activity of infusing the runes. Anima Vents will NOT be affected by this change, and we're happy with how they work as bonus outlets. Th |
| Runecrafting: An Update from Us | 2026-03-31 | Hi Adventurers, we're so glad to see so many folks jumping into Dowdun Reach and falling afoul of Black Knights! In the interim, we're seeing a lot of conversations around Runecrafting changes we rolled out with this update. What we're seeing is: The essence to rune exchange rate feels very punitive, and it feels like it takes substantially longer to craft stacks of runes.The Rune Altar Attunement system doesn't feel rewarding enough compared to Auto-Attuning runes - the lean-in active skilling method should be more rewarding, and we agree! Anima vents are a good addition to help alleviate some of the (very intense!) relative scarcity of rune |
