As an avid Runecrafter, I was excited but apprehensive about the prospect of a skilling minigame altaring (...) access to the skill.
However, after a few months, I've concluded, it is the most well-integrated piece of new content I've seen since the original launch of OSRS Mobile.

1 - The Quest
The quest feels natural as an introduction to the minigame, but crucially, it took the opportunity to use the new game to expand the existing lore for the wizards' order. This was the first hint that this content was not a branch into a new area, but woven into the fabric of the existing game.

2 - Runecrafting Vibe
The minigame keeps the same essence of feeling that runecrafting brings; it's hectic, but in a very methodical and ordered way; you have to make quick choices like when using the abyss, and choose your routes carefully like in Ourania, and almost always, patience is key. My absolute favorite part is that the existing runecrafting content (the altars) act as a central feature of the minigame. The team's original vision of a swarm of players mobbing one runecrafting altar worked, and it's hilarious. That's some creative-ass world building.

Welcome to the forums, Doomed Druid!

Love the name by the way! ^_^

I totally agree! Granted, I did get 99 long before the minigame was released but it's still an amazing piece of content. The quest was great and it really set the tone for the minigame. The team did an amazing job introducing the mechanics within the quest and the dialogue was splendid! Runecrafting was revived in a way and made more fun with this minigame. Before it was questing, xp lamps, tears of rc... I mean guthix, and zmi all the way up to 77. Then once you hit 77 the slow but afk grind starts at Zeah. But now, thanks to Guardians of the Rift, we have a fun and interactive way to train the skill. I still need to go back and finish off the collection log for it!

Wishing you the best my friend! :)

P.S. - On the ocean floor of the minigame, to the east of the Temple, a pineapple, moai, and rock can be seen. This is a reference to the homes of the main characters of the television show SpongeBob SquarePants.
