By random runes, what do you mean? and whats the xp/hr if im crafting nats at the abyss vs the ZMI with small and med pouches?? thanks Say you have 44 RCing, and you have 28 pure essence and take it to the nature altar using the Abyss, you will get 28 nature runes with the standard amount of xp per rune made. If you have the same level, and the same amount of essence but take it to the ZMI, you will get double xp per rune, but could make say 10 airs, 10 fires, 4 bloods and 4 natures. You do not get a choice in what runes are made, and you only get 1 rune per essence, even if you are 99 RCing.
