Mud runes are combination runes. They count as two separate runes: one water rune and one earth rune. Thus, any spell requiring one water rune, one earth rune, or both will spend only one mud rune.

They can be created with the Runecraft skill, purchased with pizazz points from the Mage Training Arena, or looted from essence implings with 42 Hunter.

Mud runes can be ground with a pestle and mortar to create ground mud runes. One ground mud rune is required to complete The Eyes of Glouphrie.

When equipped, the mud battlestaff and mystic mud staff provide an unlimited number of mud runes.

Runecraft info

At 13 Runecraft or higher, they can be crafted in either of two ways:

• Bringing pure essence, earth runes, water talisman, and a earth talisman to the Water Altar (for 9.3 Runecraft experience per rune)
• Bringing pure essence, water runes, earth talisman, and a water talisman to the Earth Altar (for 9.5 Runecraft experience per rune)

To prevent creating the wrong runes, make sure you are using the complementary rune on the altar. For example, at the Earth Altar use the water runes on the altar. You may wear a tiara to enter and use the altar, but the other element must be a talisman when crafting combination runes. Clicking on the altar or using a pure essence on it will produce normal runes.

Combinations have a 50% success rate (or 100%, if the player is wearing a binding necklace), and the talisman is consumed in the process (unless the player uses the Lunar spell Magic Imbue). The elemental talisman will also not work in place of talismans when crafting the runes.
