Enchanting jewelry in RuneScape 3 is a straightforward process, but like most things in Gielinor, it requires a bit of preparation. Whether you want a necklace that teleports you across the map or a ring that makes enemies regret hitting you, this guide will walk you through enchanting jewelry while keeping things simple.
Step 1: Get Some Unenchanted Jewelry
Before you can enchant anything, you’ll need the base item. Think of it like buying a plain donut before adding the frosting. Here’s how to get your unenchanted jewelry:
Craft It Yourself:
Use a gold bar at a furnace while carrying the appropriate mold (ring, amulet, or necklace).
Add a gem (like sapphire, emerald, ruby, etc.) to create fancier jewelry.
Higher-tier jewelry requires a higher Crafting level. If you’re new to Crafting, start with sapphires and work your way up.
Buy It: Can’t be bothered to craft? Hit up the Grand Exchange. Sure, it costs more, but who has time to smelt gold when you’ve got dragons to slay?
Step 2: Gather the Right Runes
Enchanting jewelry uses your Standard Spellbook and requires a mix of runes, depending on the jewelry’s tier. Here’s the breakdown:
Sapphire (Level 7 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 1 Water Rune
Emerald (Level 27 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 3 Air Runes
Ruby (Level 49 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 5 Fire Runes
Diamond (Level 57 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 10 Earth Runes
Dragonstone (Level 68 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 15 Water Runes
Onyx (Level 87 Magic): 1 Cosmic Rune + 20 Fire Runes
Cosmic Runes are mandatory, so stock up. You can craft them with Runecrafting (if you enjoy walking in circles at the altar) or buy them from the Grand Exchange.
Step 3: The Fun Part – Enchanting
Once you’ve got the jewelry and the runes, here’s how to enchant:
Open your Magic Spellbook (make sure it’s the Standard one—no Ancient or Lunar shenanigans).
Locate the appropriate Enchant Spell for your jewelry.
Cast the spell and select the jewelry you want to enchant.
If you’ve done it right, your boring trinket just became a magical artifact. If not, check your inventory for missing runes, because RuneScape loves reminding you that you forgot something.
What Does Enchanted Jewelry Do?
Here’s where the magic pays off. Each enchanted item has unique effects that can make your life a little easier (or at least a bit flashier).
Ring of Recoil (Sapphire): Reflects 10% of damage back to attackers.
Amulet of Strength (Ruby): Boosts your Strength stat. Great for when you want to hit harder.
Amulet of Power (Diamond): Adds bonuses to all combat stats. It’s like an all-purpose Swiss Army knife.
Ring of Wealth (Dragonstone): Increases chances of better drops and provides teleport options to wealth-related locations.
Amulet of Souls (Onyx): Greatly improves life point preservation in combat. Perfect for when you’d rather not die.
Pro Tips for Enchanting Jewelry
Stock Up on Runes: Always carry more runes than you think you’ll need. Running out mid-enchanting session is just embarrassing.
Stick to Standard Spellbook: Enchanting doesn’t work on Ancient or Lunar Spellbooks. Switch back before you get frustrated.
Enchant in Bulk: If you’ve got a pile of jewelry to enchant, get it all done at once. Your future self will thank you.
Consider the GE: If crafting isn’t your thing, the Grand Exchange is your best friend. Just remember to check prices first.
Enchanting jewelry isn’t rocket science, but it’s one of those little skills that can make a big difference in RuneScape 3. Whether you’re teleporting, boosting stats, or just trying to look cool, enchanted jewelry is worth the effort. Now go grab your runes, and let’s put the magic in Magic.
