Rune Mysteries was a quest that unlocks the ability to mine essence for the Runecrafting skill. With proper teleportation methods, this quest is very easy and short, but for many new non-members without teleports, this quest can be quite time consuming, seeing that you run back and forth a lot.

Recent research at the Wizards' Tower has found a way to create runes for the first time in centuries.
Assist the head wizard Sedridor in his research and he too may teach you these secrets!

To start this quest, talk to Duke Horacio, who is on the first floor of Lumbridge Castle, and ask him for a quest. He will give you a strange talisman, and asks you to take it to the head wizard of the Wizards' Tower for identification. Exit the castle, and go to the Wizards' Tower, which is south-west of the Castle and south of Draynor Village, and go meet the head wizard.
Look for the wizard Sedridor in the basement and then talk to him. He will confirm to be the head wizard and take the talisman given by Duke Horacio before giving you a research package, which you have to deliver to rune expert Aubury in Varrock. Aubury lives south of Varrock's east bank where he has his own 
Rune Shop.
Getting There: From the Wizards' Tower, you can use the Varrock Teleport to greatly shorten the trip, as it is a long walk from the Tower to Varrock. Alternatively, you can use the Lumbridge Teleport, then use a canoe to Varrock, (if you have a level 12 woodcutting).
Go to Aubury's Rune Shop and talk to Aubury. He'll want you to deliver some notes back to Wizard Sedridor and also ask you if you would like to be teleported directly to the Wizards' Tower. This teleport will bring you outside the Wizards' Tower. (He sometimes will not ask)
After giving the notes to Wizard Sedridor, he will give you an air talisman and he'll explain the 
Runecrafting skill. Congratulations, quest complete!

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included—see here for how to help out!
- update 29 March 2004 (Update):
- The quest became permanently available with the launch of RuneScape 2.
- update 1 December 2003 (Update):
- The quest was added to the RuneScape 2 beta.
- It's possible to train Runecrafting without actually completing this quest, but you can't mine Rune Essence. This is easier because of the introduction of the Grand Exchange, because you can trade rune essence or pure essence without having to have completed the quest. Methods of training include Runespan, Runecrafting during Dungeoneering or buying essence and then runecrafting at altars.
- After completing the quest, if you talk to Juna, your character will say "...So, I brought Aubury's notes to Sedridor the Head Wizard and, from then on, I was able to mine rune essence."
- Before an update, players used the drop trick to gain multiple Air talisman to make considerable amounts of money. It's now a talisman.
- This was the first quest released in RuneScape 2.
