Runecrafting

 Runecrafting is one of the Skills available for players to level up by fusing runes, killing Runic Mobs, or by killing Bosses. It allows the player to fuse Runes onto their weapons and armor. Runecrafting is a cosmetic-only mechanic, and can only be leveled up to level 3 with the Default rank.

Roman Numerals are used to express its levels in-game.

Mechanics

[edit | edit source]

Runecrafting is a cosmetic skill that has content locked to players without a Rank. Players with no ranks cannot increase past level 3 in the skill, and higher ranks apply a higher exp multiplier. As a "cosmetic" skill no important content or any stats require it to be leveled, and other than some small benefits it may provide (such as tabbed chests) it's purely decoration. The other cosmetic skill is Social.

Each rune has an associated level. The runes can be fused- however, they cannot be activated until the player has their Runecrafting level equal to or greater than the level of the rune.

Runic Mobs

[edit | edit source]

Runes are obtained from Runic Mobs. Mobs have a 0.5% (1 in 200) to be Runic. Runic Mobs have a purple name tag, 4x Health, and deal 2x Damage. When killed, they are guaranteed to drop a Rune.

All mobs can be Runic except Ender Dragon, Magma Cube Boss, Slayer Boss/Miniboss, Dungeon Boss, Dungeon Boss Minion, Rift Mobs.

Certain runes are also obtained from Slayers or as special rewards.

Fusing Runes

[edit | edit source]

Runes can be fused on the Runic Pedestal, found behind the Blacksmith and owned by the NPC Dusk.

Fusing two runes together will have a chance of upgrading the rune to the next level, up to the maximum level of 3. Upon success or failure, the second rune is consumed. If this process does not succeed, the remaining rune will not gain the level. The chance of success can be seen in the Runic Pedestal while hovering over the apply trigger. Regardless of the outcome, this will also grant Runecrafting experience. More experience is awarded upon success.

Runes can be fused onto Swords, Bows, Chestplates, and Boots, depending on the type of rune. The player must have their Runecrafting level either equal to or greater than the level of the rune, or they won't be able to fuse it. This only applies to fuse runes to items; runes above the player's Runecrafting level can still be combined together. Fusing runes onto items will also grant Runecrafting experience.

The cumulative rewards at  Runecrafting Level XXV (25) are:

  • Sometimes, Depth Strider stops working on boots with a rune. The only workaround is to throw the boots onto the ground and pick it up.
  • Players with the Default rank are still able to gain  Runecrafting XP beyond level 3 from killing runic mobs.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • This skill was supposed to be released July 16, 2019, but was delayed to August 2, 2019, due to the need for more testing.
  • If a player with the Default rank manages to reach  Runecrafting IV (4) or above (e.g. from the above mentioned bug, or having their rank removed by Hypixel Support), they are able to use perks of the higher levels.
    • However, any player with the Default rank who has 435 or more  Runecrafting XP is generally automatically reset to 275 XP within an hour.
  • The Tidal Rune is the only Rune that is in bold font.
  • The Jerry Rune and the Grand Searing Rune are the only Runes that are only available in the 3rd tier.
  • The Fiery Burst Rune is currently the only Rune that can be applied to Hoes.
