The '''Earth altar''' may be found northeast of [[Varrock]] and south of the [[Lumber Yard]]. It is used to craft [[Earth runes]] from [[rune essence]] or [[pure essence]], providing 6.5 [[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 [[earth talisman]], an [[Elemental talisman]], or an [[Omni-talisman]]. Players could also simply click on the ruins while wearing an [[earth tiara]], [[Omni-tiara]], a [[wicked hood]] imbued with any of the above, an [[Omni-talisman staff]], or an [[earth 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 [[earth 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 Earth runes in one visit is 1,012. This would be achieved by having 78 Runecrafting, giving a 4x 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 3,289 obtained doing the above while wearing [[Earth runecrafting gloves]].

==Combination Runes==
It is possible to make [[Mud rune]]s, [[Dust rune]]s, and [[Lava 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 [[earth tiara]] may be created at this altar by having an [[earth talisman]] and a [[tiara|normal tiara]] in your inventory. The player must use the tiara on the altar. Doing so will earn 32.5 [[Runecrafting]] [[experience]].

==Trivia==
*At the western-most point, players can see parts of the [[fire altar]].
*Using the [[orb of occulus]], to the south one can see an infinite grass plain (similar to the grass in a [[POH]]), to the southeast, one can see the [[air altar]], and to the east, one can see the [[Fire altar|Fire altar.]]
*Making an earth tiara in the earth altar is a medium task in the [[Varrock Tasks]] and entering the altar is an easy task.
*Using [[earth runecrafting gloves]] from [[Fist of Guthix]] and crafting earth runes here is sometimes considered the best method for training Runecrafting in F2P.
*The earth altar used to be larger requiring two clicks to craft earth runes (one to see the altar and another one to craft the runes) but after a system update its size was reduced requiring only one click to craft earth runes once inside the altar.
*The earth altar portal has a unique swirl pattern.
