I set out to disprove this (because the last time i looked at profit i thought it was much lower) and came up with... 67.66 profit per ess. 12 of that is due to the recent slump in pure ess prices, but I have to concur that at 81 RC, you can make a profit doing this. Just not that much of one. Filling your bank would be great if you're completely focused on RC. I tend to do about 10k ess, then do slayer for a while, then putter around for a couple days, then come back to RC. The deposit all button is still worthwhile, you just have to set up your bank so the 4 clicks for withdrawing the pouches and the right click for the payment runes don't take too long when filling your inventory back up. (edited for clarity)

At level 81 RC and using an Abyssal Parasite, here are my results for a 30 minute focused run. I started at Edge bank with full, freshly repaired pouches. Parasite had just been summoned, filled, and inventory topped off before Ourania teleport. Gains: Law 108 Nature 127 Cosmic 57 Death 161 Chaos 74 Astral 52 Soul 33 Blood 58 Exp 15,544 Losses: Fire -833 Pure Ess -921 Super energy doses -16 No food used, but I was down about 15 HP at the end even using continous Rapid Heal prayer and appropriate defense prayers during runs. Still wasn't contemplating eating. Update: Using prices on 2/22/09 and including the Parasite pouch, I made a profit of 17.5K for this half hour.

That being said, the best setup would be: Bearhelm Larupia Top Black dhide legs Earth/Lava Staff Crystal Shield Penance Gloves Boots of Lightness Spottier Cape Fury I believe you'll have about 100 for each melee defense, around 70 or so range defense and about 50 or so mage defense and weigh 0 or 1 kg. I don't have Penance gloves, but I do have a basic Spirit shield. This setup is 0 kg and has Stab +102, Slash +112, Crush +119, Magic +39 and Ranged +105 Bearhelm Larupia Top Larupia Bottom Lava Battlestaff Spirit Shield RFD Barrows gloves Boots of Lightness Spottier Cape Fury All 4 pouches (3 kg total) That's an interesting theory, but wrong. Agility is what affects energy regeneration. I have 71 agility and regenerated 19 energy in 60 seconds carrying 45 kg, and 19 in 60 seconds carrying -3 kg.

Everyone knows that one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116908/quotes Search for assumption. Obscurity is fun. ;)

Actually, no. I had heard negative weight was the same as 0 and assumed it was true. You know what they say though; when you make an assumption, you make an [wagon] of you and umption. I just tested it. I started at the Al Kharid palace and ran to Varrock East bank at 0 kilos; got there with 2 energy points remaining. Glory tele'd back, did it again at -9 kilos; got there with 0 energy points remaining. Statistically insignificant difference. 0 kilos is the same as -9 kilos.
