The Air Altar is a runic altar upon which air runes are crafted from rune essence or pure essence, providing 5 Runecraft experience per essence imbued.
Players may create an air tiara here by using either an air talisman or tiara on the altar whilst having both in their inventory, granting 25 Runecraft experience. An elemental tiara can also be created here by using an elemental talisman and gold tiara, granting 40 Runecraft experience.
Upon entering the Air Altar, the music track Serene plays.
Transportation
The entrance to the altar can be found south of Falador, north-west of the first T-junction players come across after exiting the south gate, the altar can also be accessed through the Abyss. The ring of the elements can be used to teleport to the altar.
To enter the mysterious ruins, players either have to use an air talisman on the ruins, or click "Enter" on the ruins while wearing an air tiara. Alternatively, an elemental talisman or tiara can be used.
The closest bank from there is Falador's east bank.
Players who have completed the hard Falador Diary have the ability to use a bank chest in the Crafting Guild. Using the skills necklace to teleport there will provide a shorter run back to the Air Altar.
Players may leave this location either by entering the exit portal to return to the mysterious ruins, or by using any method of teleportation.
Combination runes
It is possible to make mist runes, dust runes, and smoke runes while at this altar, but at a 50% success rate. This will result in fewer runes than normal being made. To make a combination rune, the player needs one set of elemental runes, a stack of pure essence, and 2 talismans.
Note that players need to use the opposing rune on the altar to craft combination runes. Simply clicking on the altar would just result in regular elemental runes.
Magic Imbue negates the need of a talisman.
If the player equips a binding necklace, the success rate will increase to 100%. The necklace has a total of 16 uses before breaking. A charge is used each time a batch of combination runes is crafted, instead of each time the altar is entered or for each rune crafted.
