OSRS Grid Master Where to Buy Runes Guide
Old School RuneScape (OSRS)

Getting runes in Grid Master is way easier than it looks once you know where to shop. With Golden God giving infinite gold and the recent pack hotfix, buying bulk magic supplies takes just a few clicks now.

Where to Buy Runes in Grid Master

Runes can be bought from any standard shop, but a few are faster and more efficient. The main ones are in Varrock, Port Sarim, and Mor Ul Rek. Each offers different rune types and pack sizes, which now auto-unpack when purchased.

  • The Varrock Magic Shop sells elemental runes and low-level essentials for early alching or combat training.

  • The Port Sarim Magic Emporium carries mid-tier runes and is a quick stop for crafting combo spells.

  • The TzHaar Rune Store in Mor Ul Rek sells Death and Blood Runes, and buying them here doubles as a Tokkul grind. Selling Death Runes back earns Tokkul, which is used to buy the Onyx for the Fury task.

  • The ZMI and Mage Arena vendors are solid options if you want variety or need to restock while training Slayer or Magic.

All of these shops benefit from the Golden God relic. Since money is unlimited, you can buy entire rune packs without worrying about costs or restocking time.

Fast Bulk Buying After Hotfix

Rune packs now open automatically after you buy them. This was confirmed in a recent patch after players noticed it working again in Varrock and Port Sarim. That means no more clicking through 50 packs at a time unless something has changed post-writing of this guide.

Feather packs from fishing shops like Port Sarim’s Gerrant’s Fishy Business also auto-open now, so you can stock up for Fletching at the same time.

Best Ways to Use Runes in Grid Master

Once you’ve stocked up, use the runes to level Magic through:

  • Alching rune or plate items for fast XP with Golden God

  • Teleport spam for AFK Magic XP

  • Combat training with high-tier spells like Ice Barrage once DT2 is unlocked from the Fury task

You can also resell extra Death Runes at the TzHaar store to get more Tokkul, which ties directly into Onyx and Fury progression.

Extra Rune Buying Tips

  • Air and Mind runes are cheapest at the Varrock shop, perfect for early magic training

  • ZMI runes are great if you want fast XP across multiple types at once

  • Stock up on Cosmic, Fire, and Earth runes for enchanting jewelry and making the Fury

  • Rune packs respawn instantly after purchase, so there’s no need to hop worlds anymore

Final Blurb

Rune buying in Grid Master used to be a grind, but the new updates and relic synergy make it one of the easiest prep steps in the event. With infinite gold, auto-unpacking rune packs, and quick access to every shop you need, you can max Magic and stock up for endgame in minutes.
