Blood runes are one of the runes used to cast spells in the Magic skill. They are used in some of the highest level spells, the lowest of which is Ruby Crossbow Bolt Enchant , and the highest is Heal Group . Blood runes are also used in charging the Scythe of Vitur , Sanguinesti staff , Ring of shadows , and soul bearer .
Crafting blood runes at one of the two available runic altars requires 77 Runecraft . A Blood essence can be activated to provide a 50% chance per essence or fragment crafted to produce an extra blood rune. It is consumed and will disappear after 1,000 extra blood runes are crafted.
The false Blood Altar north of Arceuus has no quest requirements to use and does not require any items to access it, unlike the true blood altar. Each dark essence fragment yields 23.8 Runecraft experience, not including the 0.625 Runecraft experience from binding the dense essence. Each dark essence block yields 95.2 Runecraft experience and an additional 2.5 experience for binding it at the dark altar . It is possible to reach approximately 38,000 experience per hour crafting blood runes in Arceuus. Using the full graceful outfit and having 78+ Agility should be enough to have enough run energy to last the whole trip, depending on how often the dense runestone depletes. With an achievement diary cape , the Abyss can be used by teleporting to Lesser Fanatic , to achieve slightly higher experience rates of approximately 45,000 per hour at peak efficiency, although it involves a slight risk of being attacked by other players.
Alternatively, the true Blood Altar in Meiyerditch Laboratories requires completion of Sins of the Father , where each pure essence used yields 10.5 Runecraft experience . The quest is also required to use the Guardian of Blood in the Guardians of the Rift minigame for crafting blood runes with guardian essence . If not entering through Guardians of the Rift, a blood tiara , blood talisman , catalytic talisman , catalytic tiara , or Runecraft cape is required to enter the altar. Using the abyss to craft blood runes in Meiyerditch Laboratories provides approximately double the amount of runes crafted per hour compared to crafting at Arceuus, with only slightly more experience due to the difference in experience per essence, though Arceuus requires less actions and focus, and is less dangerous due to not needing to enter the Wilderness, while also providing a small amount of Mining and Crafting experience.
Blood runes can also be crafted at the Ourania altar below level 77 Runecraft, however they are received relatively rarely.
