The air talisman is an item that allows players to enter the Air altar. At the altar, the player can use the Runecrafting skill to turn rune essence or pure essence into air runes.

Also at the air altar, an air talisman can be combined with a silver tiara to make an air tiara for 25 Runecrafting experience, by using the tiara on the altar while having an air talisman in inventory. This consumes the talisman, but the air tiara can be used the same as an air talisman and can be worn, opening an inventory slot to carry another essence.

Air talismans can be used to create combination runes. The talisman is consumed when used as the 'secondary' talisman to make these runes.

An air talisman is consumed in conjunction with a Water talisman as tertiary items in creating an Ice titan pouch for the Summoning skill. Before ice titans were released, air talismans were relatively cheap to purchase. They then became expensive, often costing thousands of coins. They became cheap again following the release of the reintroduction of free trade.

Apprentice Clara in Burthorpe also has a free air talisman in her shop.

Trivia

• Air talismans were previously required for an easy Falador task to make an air tiara. This has since been changed to making a mind tiara.
• Before an update, during the Rune Mysteries quest players could use the drop trick to receive multiple air talismans from Duke Horacio. This could only be done if the player had started the quest and had not finished the part where the player showed the air talisman to Wizard Sedridor. This led to Jagex changing the air talisman in the quest to a Talisman, which has no use other than in the quest. The player still received an air talisman at the end of the quest.
