You create Runeglass Gems by crafting, more precisely by cutting existing Pristine Gems. To do this you will need level 180 Stonecutting as well as a Tier 5 Stonecutting Table. You will also need Runeglass Cases which add different damage-type effects. You need to be a level 180 Weaponsmith to make Runeglass Cases. There are 14 variants:

  • Abyssal – Adds Void damage
  • Arboreal – Adds Nature damage
  • Electrified – Adds Lighting damage
  • Empowered – Adds Arcane damage
  • Energizing – Adds Energizing
  • Freezing – Adds Ice damage
  • Ignited – Adds Burning damage
  • Leeching – Adds Leeching damage
  • Punishing – Adds Melee damage
  • Sighted – Adds Range damage
  • Siphoning – Adds Mana Siphoning

When you have everything you need, you can mix and match your Pristine Gems with Runeglass Cases of your choice and create powerful Runeglass Gems.
