The Abyss is a location that allows quick access to almost every Runecrafting altar. Before entering the Abyss, players must complete the miniquest Enter the Abyss. Entry to the Abyss is granted by the Mage of Zamorak, who is located in low-level Wilderness north of Edgeville.
Dangers[]
Fastest routes to the Abyss.
There are two major sources of danger while Runecrafting using the Abyss: player killers while travelling in the low-level Wilderness and Abyssal creatures located in the outer ring of the Abyss. Entering the Abyss immediately drains a player's prayer points to zero and will give the player a skull, affecting which items will be kept upon player death.
Abyssal creatures can hit up to 12, and the outer ring of the Abyss is a multicombat area, though they miss often. They attack with both Melee and Magic, so armour like dragonhide is suggested.

Depending on Runecrafting level, the player can utilise the appropriate pouches, starting off at Edgeville bank and following the yellow path north to reach the Mage of Zamorak. Dragonhide armour is lightweight and helps repel magical attacks from player killers.
Additionally, a mithril pickaxe is lightweight and cheap, but a black pickaxe is lighter and more expensive. Using a pickaxe, players can mine through obstructions that require the Mining skill.
Once, the player made it through a rift, he or she can finally craft the runes and teleport back to Edgeville to being the cycle again. Super energy or Stamina potions may also be used in-between rounds to replenish energy.

Depending on Runecrafting level, the player can utilise the appropriate pouches, starting off at Edgeville bank and following the yellow path north to reach the Mage of Zamorak. Since the player will be operating in sub-20 Wilderness, he or she could wear the Graceful outfit without fear of losing it to death as it is retrievable.
Additionally, a mithril pickaxe is lightweight and cheap, but a black pickaxe is lighter and more expensive. Using a pickaxe, players can mine through obstructions that require the Mining skill.
Once, the player made it through a rift, he or she can finally craft the runes and teleport back to Edgeville to being the cycle again. Super energy or Stamina potions may also be used in-between rounds to replenish energy.
