74C is nothing. Before I cleared out the vent on my computer it was up to 104C. Now with Runescape it runs at about 80C. Don't worry about the heat.

Yeah, right! It all started when Runescapew44 and I started racing a few years back. Lost the race, but I finally got it. :shades: Loot from 94-99 :shades: I owe Teh Sarg one for supplying me with 17k, as I didn't have have enough money to purchase the cape. :unsure:

Can't login, "error connecting to server."

The poll was finished a few hours after it was released. I believe that they have been working on it this whole time.

Could have sworn that I got this problem with Safari, but maybe not.

It's either Jagex or Firefox then. I get this same problem with Firefox 3.6.13 for OS 10.6.6.

Moved to Help & Advice in case anyone wants to add anything. :)

Congratulations on 98. :shades:

It's not really worth doing once you hit other moneymaking milestones like Tormented Demons, Frost Dragons, or GWD Generals. But yeah, I still make a pretty penny off of it. Something like 600k+/hour now with double natures (making 5,000 natures/hour). With your skills, I would still say that it's an excellent method to make money. I personally think that pure essence will decrease in price after free trade comes around, but I wouldn't want to comment on rune prices. :P

Don't forget a ring of recoil. :) I've never tried it that way, but I am extremely curious as to how it turns out. Good luck!

Thought it was kind of funny.

Many players don't stop playing once they're maxed. Sure, there's no benefit to doing so, but people still rank hunt.

But you're also getting ranged, melee, and constitution experience.

Wouldn't bloods be even better? :o

Two more. :D

Please continue discussion here. :)

Of course I have. You cannot compare the two, however. The intrinsic qualities of the ZMI put it in a different class entirely. You simply can't get the same runners you get at the law alter to run to the Ourania alter. As another user posted, most of the runners would be 'overqualified.' EDIT: Although I suppose there is always the safe route.

I wasn't able to open it. :unsure:

Yes, I can easily achieve a run every 60 seconds which yields approximately 60k experience an hour. It's possible to achieve more with the use of an abyssal lurker. My figure assumes that the runners deliver 25 essence at a time, therefor having three runners at 20 second intervals would yield 1.5x the normal crafting rate (or 75 essence per minute). It's debatable, but it's doubtful that these lower levels will use these potions. Even if so, about .25 to .5 essence would be lost from every inventory depending on the amount of people in the world (and thus the equipment used). Which was the idea. Given the large amount of clicks required, getting a runner done in ten seconds doesn't sound feasible. And then how much are you paying these runners to compete with other crafters? 10k? 20k? I'm not saying that it can't be done, but I don't see it becoming an effective or adopted form of Runecrafting. Other alters sure, but not ZMI.

Hello and welcome to Tip.it! Let me be the first to welcome you to this great community. :) We also have a dedicated thread for all users who are new to the board. So just follow this link and introduce yourself! :shades:

Any way that you spin the ZMI running probably isn't worth it. As it is, I can get 1,000 experience per minute running to the alter myself with approximately ~50 different runes being crafted (level 96). You would need at least three different runners to appear at twenty second intervals and you'd probably be paying through the nose to get a bit under 1.5x the normal experience rate. Also keep in mind that route to the alter is dangerous which discourages the quintessential lower level from running. On top of that, the requirements to unlock the lunar spellbook and the Ourania teleport are pretty high. In which case, runners would have to run back and forth through the trail (effectively doubling their damage because they don't have the spell requirements) which in turn probably slows the running rate to 90 seconds or so. Then you have to factor in their subpar gear (running with rune armor) and their unwillingness to by super energy potions. You'd probably need a ratio of five or six runners per crafter. So I suppose if a world was created just for this purpose it might work, but I really don't see it being an effective means of obtaining runecrafting experience at the moment.

I have three monitors hooked up, so I have TIF, a movie, and Runescape open.

true, but it would still take a while to put up all of those runes. probably around like 20 clicks. Exactly, which is why ZMI running probably won't become popular.

It doesn't really matter, as you could just trade them the runes you crafted + cash. Then it just becomes a cash war between crafters.
