The Rune Mysteries quest is one of the easier quests on Runescape. It takes place in Lumbridge, the Wizard's Tower, and Varrock, and is open to both members and non-members. It requires no special skills or the completion of other quests. It also requires no special supplies whatsoever, just a lot of walking.

This quest can be completed in nine easy steps. They are as follows:

1. Enter the Lumbridge castle and climb up one of the staircases to the second floor. Enter the room in the center and speak to Duke Horacio. When you ask him if he has any quests for you to complete, he will say that he found a strange magical talisman. He tells you to take it to the wizard Sedridor in the Wizard's Tower.

2. Duke Horacio gives you the mysterious talisman, which is actually an air talisman.

3. Exit the castle and follow the path north to the general store. Turn to the west and follow the dirt path until you reach a stone bridge. Cross the bridge and enter the Wizard's Tower.

4. Go down the ladder into the basement. In the adjacent room, you should see the wizard Sedridor, who is dressed in blue wizard's robes.

5. Talk to Sedridor. Give him the talisman. After he gets over his shock, he will give you a research package and tell you to give it to Aubury, who works in a rune shop in the city Varrock. If for some reason you lose this package, Sedridor can give you another one if you ask him for it.

6. Get to Varrock by returning to Lumbridge, crossing a bridge over the eastern river, and following the path north. Once you are in the city, look for a symbol with a fire, which signifies the rune shop.

7. Go to the shop and enter. Speak to Aubury and give him the research package. In return, he will give you some research notes. Again, if for some reason you lose these notes, Aubury can give you some more if you ask him for them.

8. Return to the Wizard's Tower, and go down to the basement again.

9. Talk to Sedridor. When you give him the notes, he will tell you about the runecrafting skill. This is the end of the quest.

Congratulations! With only minimal effort, the quest is complete. As a reward, you get one quest point and an air talisman. You also get the ability to use the runecrafting skill and to mine rune essence, which can then be crafted into different runes.
