Sunfire Runes is an upgrade to the standard Fire Runes, offering enhanced capabilities for Runecrafting and providing players with more powerful options for magic. The process of making and using them is relatively new and involves some unique mechanics introduced alongside the new Varlamore continent.

Here's everything you need to know about making and using Sunfire Runes in OSRS.

Requirements to Make Sunfire Runes

To craft Sunfire Runes, you'll need to meet certain requirements and have access to the Varlamore continent.

Runecrafting Level 33: You must have at least 33 Runecrafting to make Sunfire Runes.

Location: You will need to be at the Shrine of Ralos, which can only be found in Varlamore. The Shrine of Ralos is where you'll be able to craft Sunfire Runes, and it's a new location tied to the continent's lore and challenges.

Materials: To make a single Sunfire Rune, you need:

Pure Essence (like standard rune crafting).

Sunfire Splinters (a unique item required for crafting Sunfire Runes).

How to Obtain Sunfire Splinters

Sunfire Splinters are not common drops and must be obtained through specific activities in Varlamore. Here's how you can get them:

Fortis Colosseum (Varlamore Capital - Civitas illa Fortis):

Monsters in the Colosseum: Participate in arena-style battles held at the Fortis Colosseum, which is located in Civitas Illa Fortis. These battles involve fighting monsters and will drop Sunfire Splinters.

Sunlight Antelope in the Avium Savanna:

Hunter Requirement: To catch Sunlight Antelope and obtain Sunfire Splinters, you need to have a Hunter level of 72. These animals can only be hunted using a Pitfall Trap.

Location: The Avium Savanna is a new area in Varlamore, where you can hunt the Sunlight Antelope.

Sunlight Antelope: This animal drops Sunfire Splinters when hunted successfully, but you cannot attack them directly – they must be trapped using Pitfall Traps.

Crafting Sunfire Runes

Once you have gathered the required Pure Essence and Sunfire Splinters, follow these steps to craft Sunfire Runes:

Travel to a Shrine of Ralos: The Shrine of Ralos is located in Varlamore. You will need to have access to this region in order to craft Sunfire Runes.

Craft the Runes: At the Shrine of Ralos, combine Pure Essence with Sunfire Splinters to create Sunfire Runes. For each combination, you'll create one Sunfire Rune.

Experience: Crafting Sunfire Runes gives you a Runecrafting experience. Since the base requirement for Sunfire Runes is Runecrafting level 33, you'll gain experience at that level and beyond.

Using Sunfire Runes

Sunfire Runes can be used in magic spells just like regular Fire Runes, but they come with enhanced effects, particularly when cast in certain locations or during specific conditions. They are commonly used for:

Upgraded Fire Spells: Sunfire Runes can be used to cast more powerful Fire spells, offering additional damage or effects compared to regular Fire Runes.

Combat and PvP: The extra power of Sunfire Runes may give you a tactical advantage in PvP or PvM, especially when fighting monsters like Chaos Druids, Abyssal Demons, or other fire-weak enemies.

Conclusion

The addition of Sunfire Runes in OSRS provides new opportunities for Runecrafting and combat. By crafting these upgraded runes, players can enjoy enhanced Fire spells and gain access to powerful new mechanics in the Varlamore region.
