Runecrafting - Locating the Altars

Introduction

You can use your talisman like a compass to find its matching altar. For example, you can use the mind talisman to direct you to the mind altar.

To use the compass feature of the talisman, right-click on the talisman and select the 'Locate' option. It will tell you which direction you have to walk to find the corresponding altar. The direction to take is displayed in the chat window, keep selecting the 'Locate' option until you arrive at the altar.
