Arceus Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Rune Value ImprovementsWizard Goldberg has made his Rune Goldberg Machine available for public use, in today's rune value update - as voted by you in the Skill Update Player Power pollearlier this year.Head to the Runecrafting Guild to start this daily D&D. You'll enter combinations of runes to get vis wax, which can:Extend or reset auras.Increase your divine location gathering limit.Extend or reroll daily challenges.We've also made it possible to use rune essence stored in pouches alongside essence in your inventory when crafting at altars.Finally, we've increased the rune essence capacity and summon duration of the abyssal titan and abyssal lurker.Read on for more details, or log into RuneScape now! Rune Goldberg Machine - New Runecrafting D&D Speak to Wizard Goldberg to get a quick tour of his prototype invention.To get your daily helping of vis wax, you'll need to fill up the machine with three types of rune. You can put any type of rune into any of the slots - with the exception of Armadyl runes.Putting different runes in different slots will yield differing amounts of vis wax when you click 'combine' on the interface. This amount changes daily, so you may wish toexperiment first.Experiment by filling up the machine with combinations of three runes. You'll see how much wax you would get with that combination, although if you try again the number or runes needed before clicking 'combine' will increase.Each slot has a daily best-in-slot rune, determined randomly each day. Each slot also counts for a set proportion of the final amount of vis wax:Slot 1 is the same rune for every player, and counts for 30%.Slot 2 is one of three possible runes, and counts for 30%.Slot 3 is randomly assigned to each player, and counts for 40%.It's a good idea to talk to other players about the first and second slots. Sharing your research will help you get as much vis wax as you can, for as little cost in runes. Vis Wax and its Many Uses Vis wax is marvellous stuff, with a variety of unique uses.Click the vis wax in your inventory and you'll have a choice of three functions:AurasExtend the duration of most auras by 50 or 100%. One extension per cooldown period.The Wisdom and Jack of Trades auras (all tiers) cannot be extended, but their cooldown can be reset once per day for a second activation.The Festive, Enlightenment, Daemonheim, Oddball, and all other cosmetic auras are not affected by vis wax.ChallengesReroll daily challenges directly from the Challenges interface. You'll be offered an alternative in a skill different to the original, or you'll be able to stick with what you had. Each challenge can only be rerolled once.Some challenges can also be extended - doubling the action needed for twice the reward. Note that not every challenge is eligible for this.DivinationIncrease your daily gathering limit by 50% or 100%.Altar Running Improvements In addition to the Rune Goldberg machine, we've tweaked the following to make runecrafting at an altar a bit smoother:Essence stored in pouches or in abyssal familiars will now be automatically used when crafting runes, alongside those in your ordinary inventory.The abyssal titan and abyssal lurker have had their rune essence carrying capacities and summon durations increased.Have Fun!Your votes and Goldberg's innovation have made the Runecrafting skill all the more useful and profitable. Enjoy, and tell us what you think on the forums.Mod Deg and the RuneScape TeamIn Other NewsMany monster types have had their rune drop rates reduced or removed, in order to increase the value of altar

FUNK YEAH! Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Arceus Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have a feeling that altar runecrafting will remain obsoleteIt's going to take a LONG time for the surplus of runes on the market to be eaten up and prices to start to rise, but maybe when it happens people will take up running a little bit more again.

Pret Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Possible to craft 12k astral runes per hour if you're really good at banking. Absolutely unbelievable stuff.

Octarine Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The summon daily seems a little broken if you double it, I doubled my 6 wolpertinger to 12 and proceeded to craft 12 pouches at once. Of course it only gave me credit for 6, probably because of silliness when doubling. So maybe do them in two sets of 6.

Pret Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeah that happened to me too, Octarine. I ended up making 24 pouches, and when I cashed in, it cashed in only 12 of them anyway.Else than that though, I really like this update. Everything is beneificial towards me (and other players, really), and it doesn't take a lot of wax for the rewards. Also, before I test it for myself, can anyone confirm that runecrafting at ZMI is now quicker than Runespan with titan and massive pouches combined with presets? I'm really curious because it very well could be the best method in the game even though most people will still runespan because it's afkable.

xpx Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The machine seems easy enough to work and the rewards are pretty good. For 20 wax you can double the dungeoneering challenge, effectively allowing you to get ~400k dg xp per day for 5 minutes of work. I guess many max capers who still have dungeoneering left will find this useful. The daily gathering limit reset is very nice too, although for some reason mine reset for 200%, not 100%(was able to get alot more than the usual 63 rocktail). First to 99 Farming on 27.
