Description

A powerful plinth for teleportation.

A lodestone is a platform that allows the player to travel if another lodestone is placed elsewhere. When the first lodestone is built, the inactive lodestone in the Temple starting area becomes active as well. Teleporting between two lodestones costs a varied amount of law runes, depending on the distance of the target lodestone and the weight of the player.

Permanent locations

Umbral Sands

Death's Domain

Temple of Saradomin

Teleportation costs

Teleporting between two lodestones costs an amount of law runes based on the distance between them and the amount of weight carried, with a minimum cost of one law rune. Note that the number shown on the lodestone map is calculated by the following:

Lawrunes=(Distancetotargetlodestone÷1000)×(Totalweight÷1000)^[1]

For example, teleporting 8000 meters (the length of 2000 square tiles) while weighing 400 kilograms would require 8×0.4=3.2 law runes which rounds to 3.

Trivia

Unlike RuneScape's (RS3) lodestone network, which requires no runes to activate or use, the lodestones of Ashenfall demand the use of law runes to function.
- However, in RuneScape 5 law runes are required to convert into fast travel charges. Allowing players to teleport to a lodestone at a faster rate.
  - In RuneScape, players can teleport to any unlocked lodestone from anywhere in the world, although at a slower pace compared to traditional teleportation spells. In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, however, players must physically interact with a lodestone to teleport to another.
