Collect, then craft
Ordinary PvM, bosses, Slayer, raids and eligible skilling actions provide physical Obsidian materials. PvM materials appear as ground drops: pick them up and bank what you are saving. Sigils and Cores do not replace the normal Gielinor equipment you earn.
- Open the Forge at home
Bring the required materials in your inventory. Choose Sigils, Tomes or the relevant recipe category.
- Inspect a recipe
Select the result and read its effect, ingredients and quantity before crafting. The game checks your current materials.
- Forge a specific tome
A perk-specific tome teaches that named perk. An Ancient Perk Tome is an ingredient for many recipes, not a substitute for every specific tome.
- Read and equip
Read the finished tome to permanently learn its perk. Open Equipped Tomes to choose which learned effects are active.

Finding your next ingredient
Use the in-game drop search to look up the exact material, or examine a monster to review its drop table. Different activities use different material profiles; there is no honest single guaranteed farming spot for every tome. The perk catalogue lists the base recipe for every specific tome.
