Yes, no 85+ miner disagree, at max speed Runecrafting is at minimum equal to mining if not better. 85 mining is about equal to death rune crafting. I do both and have found that they're pretty even. Now, 91 runecrafting blows 85 mining out of the water, but up until then, they're actually pretty even. 85 mining is good for the less dedicated. 91 runecrafting is for the people that truly don't give up. =] I've had 85 mining on another account, and I'd say if runecrafting isn't your thing, mining is the next best skiller. At least with RC there is no competition though, I sometimes hear it can get pretty feisty around those rune rocks... Yeah. When I had 85 mining, on my old account, this was before, when PKing still existed. So it was pretty much log in, check quickly and mine as fast as you can then log the heck out before getting pked.
