New profession
Runecrafting: crushing is a profession
The Crusher of the smithmagus workshops used to break any equipment for anyone. Crushing is now the Runecrafting profession: free, independent of every other profession, levels 1 to 100, and shared by all the characters of your account.
- Learn it from Hel Munster in the smithmagus workshop at [-5,-12]: choose “Learn the Runecrafting profession”. It needs nothing first, not even level 30 in another profession. You get a Runic Hammer.
- Use it at any Crusher: Runecraft equipment crushes. The old option “Turn an item into runes” opens the same window for Runecrafters and tells everyone else where to learn the profession.
- Same runes as before: your level never lowers the runes. It only limits the items: equipment up to level 2 × your level (at least 20, at most 200).
- More than runes: every crushed item also gives Runic Dust and Runecrafting experience, and a chat line shows an estimate before you craft.

Focus Seals
A Focus Seal concentrates the runes of one characteristic: Strength, Intelligence, Chance or Agility. Put one seal per item in the crushing window: the item's other primary runes are given up, and part of their value goes to the seal's characteristic. Every other rune is crushed as usual.
- Basic Focus Seal (level 40): recovers 25% of the value given up, at most +25% on the chosen runes.
- Refined Focus Seal (level 80): 40%, at most +40%.
- Superior Focus Seal (level 100): 50%, at most +50%.
- Example: an item worth 20 Strength and 20 Intelligence runes gives about 25, 28 or 30 Strength runes with a Basic, Refined or Superior Strength seal.
Runes and supplies
Fusion, splitting and the Runic Ledger
- Rune fusion (Refine runes): runes of one grade, a binder, Runic Dust and a smithmagic potion make the next grade (Pa from level 20, Ra from level 60). 22 fusion recipes.
- Splitting (from level 10): a stack of Pa or Ra runes alone in the window becomes twice as many runes of the grade below. No experience.
- Runic supplies (Craft runic supplies): Runic Binders and the twelve Focus Seals, from Runic Dust, ores and alloys, Metaria and alchemist potions. Dust, binders and seals weigh nothing.
- Runic Ledger: the first time your account crushes an item, you get +25% experience for it. Shared by all your characters, it never resets.
- Master Runecrafter: reach level 100 for the achievement and its title, in Masters of the Trade.
Every profession
Craft invitations work again, for every profession
The native craft invitation works for every profession again, Runecrafting included. A crafter next to a workbench crafts with the other player's ingredients, and the result goes to the player who brought them.
- Safe: everything is checked first. If an ingredient or the fee is missing, nothing is used and nothing is paid.
- Fair: the fee is paid only when an item is made. A failed craft uses the ingredients as usual, but costs no fee and gives no experience.
- Hire a Runecrafter: bring your equipment and seals to a Runecrafter at a Crusher: the runes and Runic Dust are yours, the experience and fee are theirs.
- Smithmagic cannot be done by invitation.
Questions
FAQ
Do I lose runes at a low Runecrafting level?
No. A crush gives the same runes at every level; your level only limits the item level you can crush.
Can someone else crush for me?
Yes. Invite a Runecrafter at a Crusher: the runes and dust are yours, the experience and the fee are theirs.
Do I need to reinstall?
The launcher updates your client automatically the next time you open it. Nothing to reinstall.
