Air runes are one of the four elemental runes in RuneScape. Players can craft air runes with a Runecraft level of 1 at the Air Altar (located south-west of Falador), granting 5 Runecraft experience per Rune essence or Pure essence used.

Usage

Air runes are used in every combat spell and most teleportation spells in the standard spellbook, as well as in many spells from other spellbooks (See #Spells requiring air runes for an overview).

Because they are used very often, players are recommended to purchase a Staff of air or better, which can be bought from Zaff's Superior Staffs! shop in Varrock.

Besides usage for spells, air runes can be used for crafting combination runes; they can be combined with water runes to make mist runes, with earth runes to make dust runes, and with fire runes to make smoke runes (See #Products for an overview of everything that can be made with air runes).

Obtaining

A common way for beginning players to obtain air runes is to talk to the magic tutor in Lumbridge. She will give you 30 air and mind runes if you don't have any in your inventory or bank.

Air runes or packs can be bought from Magic shops for 4 to 25 coins each, depending on the stock. Free-to-play players can buy runes from Aubury's Rune Shop in Varrock and from the store in Port Sarim. The store at the Void Knight Outpost is often full of stock so they are not as expensive as in other stores. Non-ironman players can also purchase them from the Nightmare Zone, using 25 reward points. See #Shop locations for an overview of all shops.

Air runes do not cost very much money at the grand exchange, as players can craft them at a low level and they are often received as drops (See #Item sources for an overview of drop sources).
