The '''Air altar''' may be found west of [[Varrock]], east of the [[River Lum]], and close to the bridge near [[Gunnarsgrunn]]. It is used to craft [[Air runes]] from [[rune essence]] or [[pure essence]], providing 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 an [[air talisman]], an [[Elemental talisman]], or an [[Omni-talisman]]. Players could also simply click on the ruins while wearing an [[air tiara]], [[Omni-tiara]], a [[wicked hood]] imbued with any of the above, an [[Omni-talisman staff]], or an [[air talisman staff]].

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 an [[air 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 air runes in one visit is 2,530. This would be achieved by having 99 Runecrafting, giving a 10x 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 2,530 obtained doing the above while wearing [[Air runecrafting gloves]].

==Combination Runes==
It is possible to make [[Mist rune]]s, [[Dust rune]]s, and [[Smoke rune]]s while at this altar, but at a lower success rate. This will result in less runes than normal being made. To make a combination rune, the player needs one set of elemental runes, a stack of pure essence, and 2 talismans.

If the player equips a [[Binding necklace]], the success rate will increase to 100%. It has a total of 15 uses before breaking. A charge is used each time a combination rune is used, instead of each time the altar is entered.

==Tiaras==
An [[air tiara]] may be created at this altar by using an [[air talisman]] and a [[tiara|normal tiara]] in your inventory. The player must use the tiara on the altar. Doing so will earn 25 [[Runecrafting]] [[experience]].

==Trivia==
*Using the [[Orb of Oculus]], it is possible to see the [[Mind altar]] to the west, an infinite grass plane to the southwest (similar to the grass in the [[Player-owned house]]), and the [[Rune Essence mine]] to the east. However, it is not possible to see the Air Altar from the rune essence mine.
*In the past, if you tried to use a [[Sextant]] at the air altar, a message would appear saying: You are in level 56 [[wilderness]]. This suggests that the location of the Air Altar on the map is adjacent to the [[wilderness]], in the same way that the Air and [[Mind Altar]]s are near each other.
*The Air Altar was formerly located where the [[Clan Camp]] is now.
*Before [[17 September]] [[2009]], the Air altar was situated south and a little west of the southern gate of [[Falador]].
*If you wear a Lumbridge [[Explorer's Ring]] (2-4) while crafting, you have chances to craft extra air runes.
*Another rabbit has been added at the Air Altar, it is located North in the trees. It is Level 2 and there is no current way to attack it.
*On [[17 August]] [[2011]], the Air altar received a graphical update, along with the trees outside the altar, which added a beam of light that hit the altar.<ref>http://services.runescape.com/m=news/temple-trekking-revamped</ref> However, this update was disliked by many players, particularly those who frequently played the [[Great Orb Project]] due to the lighting making it difficult to see.
*On [[23 August]] [[2011]], Jagex reworked the lighting in the Air altar and released the graphical update along with the new rewards for minigames update.<ref>http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/c=Edv6p1EwGKE/forums.ws?15,16,600,63111348,323,308496301,highlight,#323</ref>
*It is possible to hear the sound of waves from the air altar, despite the fact there is no water immediately visible.
*The "Temple of Air" (the name given to the actual Runecrafting area) is situated on top of a high mountain. There are several [[rabbit]]s near the base of the mountain. To leave, simply walk through the portal back to Varrock.
