Rune Slayer Crafting Guide: How to Get Weapons, Mats and Recipes

Like any good MMORPG, Rune Slayer isn’t only about leveling and picking the best race-class combo. How powerful you are is directly determined by your items, and unfortunately, not all of them drop from mobs and bosses—you must craft them on your own. But how do you craft items in the first place? Where to get the mats? We’ll answer all this and much more in our Rune Slayer crafting guide. Rune Slayer Crafting Guide: What You Need to Craft Items If you’ve played FFXIV, WoW or another Roblox MMO, the crafting system in Rune Slayer is pretty straightforward. You need the following: Blacksmith: This NPC is key for crafting basic items and putting your first couple of recipes to the test.

Then, head back to the wilderness and go to the first hill on the left. You’ll find three Ore Deposits and some Vitalshrooms at the top.

Best Way to Farm Resources in Rune Slayer

As surprising as it sounds, there’s no magic strategy to farm resources in Rune Slayer at lightning speed. You only need to be cognizant of all the caves, hidden areas and trees around you. I approach every area with a plan—mobs get killed first, I look for the ore, then I pick up the plants and finally, I chop down the trees. Because the mobs are cleared, I can go straight for the boss, if there is one.

And that’s it, believe it or not. Our Rune Slayer crafting guide should set you up to always have enough funds and mats to have the best possible gear. Don’t be a stranger and give our Rune Slayer class guide to see which one is the best for quick resource gathering.
