The more detailed inside of the mind altar

The Mind altar may be found west of Ice Mountain, east of Goblin Village, near the edge of the Wilderness. It is used to craft mind runes from rune essence or pure essence, providing 5.5 Runecrafting experience.

Access

As with most other runecrafting altars, it can be accessed via the Abyss. Players could also enter its ruins by using a mind talisman or an Omni-talisman. Players could also simply click on the ruins while wearing a mind tiara, Omni-tiara, a wicked hood imbued with any of the above, an Omni-talisman staff, or a mind talisman staff.

The location of the Mind altar

Currently, the fastest way to get there is to used the Wicked hood's teleport, which could only be used 2 times, or 3 if all the Wicked robes have been purchased from the Runespan. The second fastest way is to break a mind altar teleport tablet. Both of these methods teleport the player just outside of the altar. The wicked hood can be obtained by talking to Tam McGrubor, and the teleport tablets by playing the Great Orb Project.

Experience

The maximum likely limit for crafting Mind runes in one visit is 2,024. This would be achieved by having 98 Runecrafting, giving a 8x bonus, and carrying 253 essence to craft (23 in the normal inventory along with 48 in the 5 sizes of Runecrafting pouches, along with 175 claimed from the wicked hood (if all the Wicked robes have been purchased, and 7 from any abyssal summoning creature), whilst wearing an explorer's ring (which has a 1 in 10 chance of producing an extra rune per essence). The maximum possible experience is 1,391.5 obtained while doing the above.

Tiaras

A mind tiara may be created at this altar by having a mind talisman and a normal tiara in your inventory. The player must use the tiara on the altar. Doing so will earn 27.5 Runecrafting experience.

Trivia

  • Using the Orb of oculus, one can see the air altar to the east. To the south, one can see an infinate grass plain, similar to the one in a POH. To the northwestwest, one can see a thin ring of brown. If you to the ring using the orb and press E (go down) you can descend into the ring, and it proves to be an ocean floor. This being because the Mind altar is east of the Water altar.
  • Previously, if the Mind altar was accessed from the Wilderness, "Goblin Village" would continue to play even after entering the altar. This has since been fixed.
  • The altar is in the shape of a brain.
  • There was previously a grave with a Celtic cross on it near the altar, not to be (but often is) confused with the Zarosian symbol which instead has the lines crossing diagonally on the inside of the circle. It has since been replaced with a broken statue.
  • Previously, the walls were decorated with Aborgine-like artwork of people dancing. After an update, the paintings have been turned into mindless clumps of scribbles.
  • If you go to the most eastern point in the altar you will be able to see the edge of the Air altar using the Orb of oculus, implying they are close together on the map<ref>"Map" should be interpreted to mean the plane the game exists on from a technical standpoint, but not the conceptual locations of the altars, which are said to exist in dimensions unique to themselves.</ref>.
