Talismans allows runecrafters to locate and gain access to Runecrafting altars through mysterious ruins. Even if a runecrafter memorises the location a mysterious ruin, without a matching talisman for the ruin, the runecrafter will not be able to enter the ruin to get to the altar. Each type of talisman gives you access to their specific matching Runecrafting altar. It is only at these altars that runes can be made.

After completing the Rune Mysteries Quest, you will receive an Air talisman as a reward.

Below is a table of talismans and where you can obtain them.

Talismans are also required when making Combination runes.

Tiaras perform the same function as talismans - they allow you to gain access to a runecrafting altar. Tiaras have an advantage over talismans, in the sense that you can wear tiaras on your head, freeing an extra space in your inventory. To make a tiara see the Crafting Guide.

Once you have crafted the tiara, you can enchant it to allow you to access the altar of your choice.

To enchant a tiara you must:

• Take your silver tiara to your chosen altar. You will also need the matching talisman to the altar.
• Use the tiara on the altar and your talisman will then disappear from you inventory and your tiara has now been enchanted.
