After Step 3, before Step 4, you can enchant the Emeralds at this point. In addition, if you speak to Clerval with 20 Essence in your inventory (take them out of your pouches if you have any), you can deposit both the Enchanted Emeralds and the Essence with him to free up inventory space.

 

During the quest you're supposed to make 5 Steam Runes. I didn't get a chance to check if you could use runes bought from the Grand Exchange and skip the whole altar procedure.

 

After the quest, if you talk to Clerval with a Rune Guardian in your inventory, he'll give you a series of tips concerning Rune Guardians: You can change their colors, and you can change the color of your Infinity robes with their assistance (not noted in the quest's tip section, but it's noted in the Item Database for Rune Guardian and the colored Infinity robe pieces).

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I just did the quest then so I was able to check it all out.

 

Handing over the essence and enchanted emeralds after the third step is quite handy if you need the inventory space, so I've pushed that step up a bit in the guide.

 

He doesn't let you use steam runes from the grand exchange. I'm guessing the game checks to make sure you make the runes after that point in the quest, so no changes there.

 

Added in the tips about colours changing and all that too.

 

Thanks again, you've been credited for your help.
