Dust runes are combination runes. They count as two separate runes: one Earth rune and one Air rune. Thus, any spell requiring one Earth rune, one Air rune or both will spend only one Dust Rune.

Runecrafting Dust Runes

At Runecrafting level 10 or higher, they can be crafted in either of two ways:

• Pure essence, Earth runes and a Earth Talisman to the Air altar or
• Pure essence, Air runes and an Air Talisman to the Earth altar.

Players receive 8.3 experience for combining Earth runes at an air altar and 9 for combining Air runes at a Earth altar. Combinations have a 50% success rate (or 100%, if the player is wearing a binding necklace), and the talisman is consumed in the process (unless the player uses the Lunar spell Magic imbue).
