Runecraft

“Work rune essence into runes at the altars. Every spell ever cast began as a runecrafter's labor.”

Every skill uses the same XP table: 951,207,314 XP for level 99. Past 99 the XP keeps counting.

How it works

Pick a recipe. Every key press or click moves it along by one input; when it has the inputs it needs, the materials are used up and you get the product and the XP. The materials have to stay in your bank until then. Compare recipes by XP per input: that is your XP rate, however fast you go.

The Agility perk Careful Hands can save the materials of a finished recipe (up to 35% of the time).

More runes as you level

Each essence makes more runes the higher your level. The XP stays the same; only the number of runes grows. A talisman has to be in your bank for most altars (it is never used up).
