How to Claim Your Aura Rewards in RuneScape 3
Claiming your aura rewards in RuneScape 3 is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to understand the mechanics involved to ensure you receive them. The core principle is that an aura must either fully deplete its time or be manually deactivated after fulfilling specific criteria. For the Jack of Trades aura, this means training in ten different skills before either the aura’s time expires or you manually deactivate it. Specifically, you claim an aura reward by:
- Using the Aura: Equip the aura you want to use (e.g., Jack of Trades).
- Meeting the Requirements: Fulfill the aura’s requirements, such as gaining experience in 10 different skills for the Jack of Trades aura. Some auras like those from the Combat category or the smithing aura don’t require 10 different skills. The criteria varies based on which aura you are using.
- Checking Progress: Right-click the equipped aura and select “Aura time remaining”. This will indicate if all experience requirements have been met for that aura or if there is still a task to be completed.
- Depleting or Deactivating: Once all requirements are met, either allow the aura to deplete naturally over time or manually deactivate it by clicking on it in the Aura interface.
- Receiving the Reward: Upon the aura’s depletion or manual deactivation after fulfilling requirements, you’ll receive the specific reward for the aura, which in the case of the Jack of All Trades aura is a reward book. This will be granted through the player’s inventory.
Understanding these steps is crucial for efficiently utilizing auras and maximizing your RuneScape experience.

What are the best combat auras to use?
The best combat auras are subjective depending on your style and goals. The most commonly cited and powerful are the Berserker aura, Maniacal aura, and Reckless aura for their immense damage boosts. These are recommended for players looking to maximize their damage output.
How can I tell what tier my aura is?
The tier of an aura is typically indicated by a roman numeral on its icon or name. For example, Berserker aura is a Tier 3 aura. Higher tier auras typically offer greater benefits, but they may also come with higher costs or more restrictive activation conditions.

Therefore, in RuneScape 3, the “Replenish” card is not relevant to Aura interactions.
