RS3 Runecrafting Calculator
Pick a training method and a target. See how many it takes, what it costs at today's Grand Exchange prices, and how long, where the RuneScape Wiki states a rate.
This method needs level 44 Runecrafting, and the start is level 1.
Cost at today's Grand Exchange guide prices (as of 15 October 2026). Anything sold counts the 2% GE tax.
For runes, each one counted here is one essence. Once your level is high enough an essence makes more than one rune, and the Wiki's recipe gives only the count at the lowest level, so what the runes sell for is not taken off.
No XP boost is counted (no outfit, aura, bonus XP or portable), so with one you will need fewer.
No time is shown: this is made at an altar, and most of the time is the trip there and back, which the Wiki's figure for each one does not count.
| Use | Amount | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure essence | 1,448,271 | 20 gp | 29.0M |
Cost: 28,965,420 gp (2.22 gp per XP)
From 0 XP (level 1) to 13,034,431 XP. Level 99 is 13,034,431 XP. The address of this page keeps the sum, so a link to it opens the same one.
Where these numbers come from
Every method, level, XP figure and recipe is the RuneScape Wiki's, read on 15 October 2026: the list is the Wiki's own Runecrafting calculator's, and each method's numbers were checked against a second Wiki page (the item's own page) before going in. Each method links to the page its numbers came from.
52 of the Wiki's methods left out, because its pages disagree about them or do not state them
Showing one of these would mean picking which Wiki page to believe, or using a number no page states, so they are left out until the Wiki settles them.

Prices are the Grand Exchange guide prices, as the RuneScape Wiki's exchange data gives them. The page keeps them for up to about seven hours, and every answer says the date of the prices it used. For options this page does not have, use the Wiki's Runecrafting calculator.
