Water runecrafting gloves

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Water runecrafting gloves are a reward that may be purchased with tokens from the Fist of Guthix minigame. They give double runecrafting experience when crafting water runes. This effect lasts for the crafting of 1,000 rune essence, with a total of 12000 Exp (Net gain 6000 Exp) after which they crumble to dust. The water runecrafting gloves require a runecrafting level of 20 to wear and are non-tradeable. As with other runecrafting gloves, it cannot be used for assisting work.

When they are used up, the chat box says, "The charges in your gloves have been used up and they crumble to dust." Players can right-click on the gloves in their inventory and click "Inspect" to see how many charges they have left. Alternatively, players can also operate the gloves whilst they are equipped.


[edit] Using the Gloves

The effect of crafting water runes with these gloves makes the experience higher than crafting any single rune type (other than earth runes, with the earth runecrafting Gloves). In addition, players only need rune essence, which costs 64 coins at the Grand Exchange, instead of pure essence, which costs 164 at the Grand Exchange. At level 57 Runecrafting, players will create 4x water runes. This makes the water gloves very useful as the prices of water runes is currently 41} coins. You can make also a slight profit even when buying the rune essence from the Grand Exchange, and currently this profit is 100. This is explained better in the table below.

The following table assumes you are crafting 28 essence at a time, and buying the rune essence from the Grand Exchange.

Runecrafting level Multiplier Profit per rune Total Profit
19 x2 18 504
38 x3 59 1652
57 x4 100 2800
76 x5 141 3948
95 x6 182 5096

[edit] Method of Use

Because the water altar is inconvenient and far from a bank, the most convenient method to make use of these gloves is to use altar teletabs from The Great Orb Project (requires 50 runecrafting) and Falador teleport (requires 37 magic). Player has teletabs, law runes, and 26 rune essence in their inventory and has an air staff equipped. They should then break the teletab to teleport to altar. After the runes have been crafted, the player can teleport to Falador and repeat the process for relativly fast runecrafting experience.
