Lava runes are a valuable and popular item in OSRS due to their dual functionality as both fire and earth runes. Crafting lava runes can be a tedious process, but it offers a substantial amount of Runecraft experience. Players will need a minimum of 23 Runecraft to craft lava runes, and there are several steps to follow. Firstly, players must decide on an altar, with the fire altar being a popular choice due to the lower cost of earth talismans. Next, gather the required items, such as essence, talismans, and runes, ensuring you have the opposite rune to the altar you've chosen. For example, if you're at the fire altar, you'll need earth runes. Using the corresponding rune on the altar will then craft the lava runes. There are also additional tools that can enhance the process, such as a binding necklace, which guarantees successful crafting.

What You'll Learn
Choose an altar
Lava Runes can be crafted at either the fire altar or the earth altar. The fire altar is the faster option and is less of a financial loss. It is also the most popular choice, as earth talismans are more expensive than fire talismans.
To enter the fire altar, you will need a fire talisman or a fire tiara. If you are using the earth altar, you will need an earth talisman or tiara. A tiara will save you inventory space and some GP, as it does not get consumed. To make a fire tiara, use a fire talisman on an empty tiara at the fire altar. Earth tiaras can be made the same way or obtained as a 1 in 10 drop from Earth Implings.
If you have completed the Lunar Diplomacy quest and have level 82 Magic, you can cast the Magic Imbue spell to craft runes without a matching talisman. This will boost your XP/hour as you will have more inventory slots. You will need to cast the spell just before clicking on the altar.

Gather essence, talismans, and runes
To craft lava runes, you will need to gather essence, talismans, and runes.
Essence can be obtained in two forms: pure essence or daeyalt essence. Pure essence is the standard form of essence used in crafting runes. Daeyalt essence, on the other hand, is an untradeable type of essence that grants 50% more experience when crafting lava runes. However, it can only be obtained after completing the "Sins of the Father" quest and mining it in the mines underneath Darkmeyer in Morytania. To mine Daeyalt essence, you will need 60 Mining and must wear the Vyre Noble clothing obtained during the quest.
The type of talisman you will need depends on the altar you choose for crafting your lava runes. If you opt for the fire altar, you will require an earth talisman. Conversely, if you choose the earth altar, a fire talisman is necessary. Earth talismans are generally cheaper than fire talismans, making the fire altar a more popular choice for crafting lava runes. Additionally, you can create a tiara by combining a talisman with an inert tiara at the corresponding Runecraft altar. For example, crafting a fire tiara entails using a fire talisman on an empty tiara at the fire altar. Earth tiaras can also be crafted in the same manner or obtained as a rare drop from Earth Implings.
The runes you need will depend on the altar you select. If you choose the fire altar, you will require earth runes, whereas the earth altar necessitates fire runes. It is important to ensure you are using the complementary rune on the altar to prevent crafting the wrong type of rune.

Use opposite runes on the altar
To craft lava runes in OSRS, you need to decide on which altar you would like to craft the lavas at. You can choose between the fire altar or the earth altar, with the former being a faster experience and less of a gp loss.
If you choose the earth altar, you will need pure essence, enough fire runes to cover the essence in your inventory, and a fire talisman. You will also need a tiara or an earth talisman to get into the earth altar. Once inside, use the complimentary rune (fire rune) on the altar, and you will craft lava runes.
If you opt for the fire altar, you will need essence, enough earth runes to cover the essence in your inventory, and an earth talisman. You will also need a fire talisman or tiara to access the fire altar. Again, once inside, simply use the complimentary rune (earth rune) on the altar, and you will craft lava runes.
It is worth noting that many more players choose to craft lava runes at the fire altar, as earth talismans are typically cheaper than fire talismans.

Wear a binding necklace
Wearing a binding necklace is an effective way to guarantee a 100% success rate in crafting lava runes. This enchanted jewellery item ensures that all your attempts at crafting lava runes are successful, which is especially useful given the typically 50% success rate of combination runes.
Binding necklaces are not easy to come by, however. They are an uncommon drop from monsters in the Abyss, with a drop rate of 1 in 85.33. Each binding necklace has 16 uses and will be destroyed once all are used. A unique feature of this item is that its charges are stored per player and not per necklace. So, if you sell or cast High-Level Alchemy on a necklace with one charge remaining, the next necklace you equip will still only have one charge.
You can also choose to destroy a binding necklace to restore charges to another. For example, if you have a binding necklace with one charge left and another in your inventory, you can destroy the former to restore the latter to 16 charges. This can be a useful strategy when crafting runes in pairs.
Binding necklaces are a valuable tool when crafting lava runes, as they ensure that all your crafting attempts are successful. However, keep in mind that they are not easy to come by, and each has a limited number of uses before it is destroyed.

Use tiaras instead of talismans
When crafting lava runes, you can use a tiara instead of a talisman to access the altar. Tiaras of any kind can be created by using the corresponding talisman on an inert tiara at the corresponding Runecraft altar. For example, to make a fire tiara, you need to use a fire talisman on an empty tiara at the fire altar. Earth tiaras can be crafted in the same way or obtained as a 1 in 10 drop from Earth Implings.
When crafting lava runes, you will need essence, enough of the corresponding runes to cover the essence in your inventory, and the corresponding talisman or tiara to access the altar. For example, if you are crafting lava runes at the fire altar, you will need essence, earth runes, and a fire talisman or tiara.
It is worth noting that when crafting combination runes, you may wear a tiara to enter and use the altar, but the other element must be a talisman. The talisman will be consumed in the process unless you use the Lunar spell Magic Imbue, which requires the completion of the 'Lunar Diplomacy' quest and 82 Magic.
Using tiaras instead of talismans when crafting lava runes can save inventory space and reduce costs, as you will not need to purchase or carry as many talismans. Additionally, if you are crafting lava runes at the fire altar, using a fire tiara instead of a fire talisman can be more cost-effective, as earth talismans are typically cheaper than fire talismans.
