Runecrafting is a manufacturing skill added with the Genesis expansion. With it you can turn shards and chi stones into runes that enhance your stats.
Skill Books
The skill books for each level must be obtained by exchanging a certain number of Divine Honors for them at the Divine Emissary of the Shadow. The level 1 skill book requires 2 Divine Honors of the Shadow; higher level skill books require more Divine Honors of the Shadow or Void. These Divine Honors are awarded from some of the quests given by the Divine Emissaries, which quests can only be obtained while possessing the corresponding Divine Order. The Divine Orders are quest rewards for the Bounty Hunter I quests, or can be purchased in Faction Bases in exchange for faction contribution and coin. Divine Honors of the Shadow can also be manufactured from Divine Honors of the Void at the Divine Emissary of the Shadow.
Crafting
Once you have gotten your skill book and taken it to an Elder to learn the skill, you can go to the Divine Emissary of the Light to do your runecrafting. Each rune you make requires a certain number of a certain level of chi stone (Wuhsing up to Perfect) and shard (Common, Average, or Beautiful).
