i've known about this for a while, but i decided not to craft for them until i reach lvl 44 rc'ing. I dont want to lose money this way!

I'm f2p so i cant try this. The guide on ancient magic says that the barrage spells attack 9 squares. does this mean that people on the squares stack? I.E. if 2 people are on the same square, and you cast the spell, do they both get hit? If so, then i have an idea for some CRAZY mage xp. Hire like 100 people to sacrifice themselves in the wildy. You could cast ice barrage just once, then if they all get hit, you would get thousands of exp in just 1 spell! Is this even possible?

I MADE MY FIRST MIL 3 MINUTES AGO!!!! i just telegrabbed 1k wines of zamorak and sold them all 1k each :P btw, i'm lvl 59

yeah, but it would probably cost around 2k per power ess. only rich people could afford it. Think about how much ess it requires to reach lvl 99. if you mined your own ess, and only crafted airs, you would reach lvl 99 mining and rc'ing at the same time. And deaths give only twice the xp of airs. There should be a more effective way.

Its no secret that almost every rock obtained in mining is used for smithing/smelting. A few ores are also used for crafting. Then there is one random rock type: rune essence. It seriously seems out of place with the mining skill, especially since you mine it completely differently from ores. There is really only one kind of rock used for the rc'ing skill (2 if you include pure ess, which i dont since it was only an anti-autominer update). mining is also the only skill that has almost no differences between f2p and p2p, other than locations, and the quarry, which isnt very useful anyway. what we need is a new runecrafting ore: POWER ESSENCE! :shock: Jagex has already announced blood and soul crafting. My idea is that you need a special type of ess for them. The mining requirements would be VERY HIGH (lvl 90??) But the payoff would be great! For instance, it should actually give decent mining xp, and only need to be clicked once per inventory (like normal ess). Each power ess would be equal to 5 pure ess- that is- you get 5 times the normal xp for crafting and 5 times the runes that you would normally get. The power ess mine should be accessed though the wilderness, so there's some danger involved, and there should be a full quest needed to access it. pretty much i was just brainstorming, not all of these ideas are great, but my main point is: WE NEED A NEWER BETTER TYPE OF ESS FOR RC'ING p.s. if anyone supports this, can you please post this on the runescape official forums? i would, but i'm not a member (yet). pm me here if you do. :pray:

a secret code, like ....... YOUR PIN :P \ =D> GENIOUS

Actually, no one crafts them because it's too far away from a bank. lol who crafts bodies.... btw I used to train with Curse but I got bored of always clicking...and you have to wait for your character to do it. actually, i discovered (in another current thread) that lots of people in fact do craft bodies, since they give the most f2p experience. plus, since the graphical update, the wall between barbarian village and the body temple was removed, and its easier to craft. but its still the worst moneymaking rune out there. (as for curse training, i did the same thing for a few lvls, but i dont consider that a good reason for the existance of body runes)

BODY runes are not useless its fast and easy magic xp if u use full rune (no ammy and dhide vambs) its cheap and way faster as firestrike its 29 xp each time u cast it ssince uwear full rune dhide vambs (no ammy) and an earth staff u use 1 body rune, 2 water runes each cast its much clicking ... but for runecrafting AIR RUNES al the way this is a great point. i cursed my way from lvl 37-52 magic, but its 100 times easier to just buy bodies from the store for 2-3 gp ea than it is to craft. body runes have the lowest profit potential and the lowest demand of all kinds of rune. As a side note, you dont need full rune to do that trick, full bronze, or any kind of metal works equally well.

sounds possible, but very boring. plus there is no hope of making any money that way

at least there should be a way to increace the value of bodies. as a runecrafter, i find it annoying that no one would buy bodies for a decent price. they give good crafting exp, but no one actually crafts them for this reason.

i like the sell all idea. the buy all idea would make the game too easy though.

lets face it. body runes are the most useless kind in the game by far :wall: . no one actually uses the curse spells much, except a few power trainers :roll:. I have an idea that could raise the value of body runes exponentially: a new minigame in the magic training arena. right now the magic training area is the main use for cosmics. Why not use it for body runes as well? They could also remove the high alch game because it is a waste of nats. Nature runes are very valuble anyway. This game would involve cursing obviously, and if you get enough pizzazz points, you can buy a new spell that uses many body runes. or, you could change the bones to bananas/ bones to peaches spell so that they use bodies instead of nats. lets say it takes 10 bodies to perform bones to bananas and 30 for bones to peaches.

we need a new area of the wilderness that is multi- combat and unlevelled i.e. any one can attack anyone else, no matter what the level. It should also be near the edge of the wilderness, and near a bank. Think edgeville, but with multi-combat zones and no levels. Imagine the fun that clans could have! 50 lvl 10s could gang up and kill a lvl 100.

I'm pretty sure Bodies are better experience than airs... not really. they arent very close to a bank and they're almost completely useless

a lot of people complain about how hard runecrafting is, especially in f2p where we dont have access to the abyss or many teleports. However it is still a good skill to have, and a decent money maker at higher levels. plus its the only way to get runes without paying. I feel that my runecrafting level is respectable now, and i want to share some tips. 1) at lower lvls it is very hard to gain a profit and ess may be expensive for some new players, so it is a good idea to mine your own first 1-2k ess 2)make sure that you use enchanted tiaras instead of talismen. that way you can save an inventory space when training. Enchanting tiaras also gives 5 times the experience of crafting 1 ess. To enchant a tiara, keep a tiara, and a talisman of your choice in your inventory, then use the talisman with its respective altar. 3)first concentrate on getting your runecrafting lvl to 14 so that you can craft fire runes. this happens quickly and you can do it in under 30 minutes if you put your mind to it. *4*)runecrafting can be EXTREMELY boring if you train it exclusively. a better idea would be to train it alongside another skill. for instance, I made it all the way from lvl 14 to 40 with fire runes. At the same time, i trained my mining. so what i did was wear a fire tiara, fill my inventory with ess in the al kharid bank, and run to the fire altar to craft the runes. From there, i would go to the al kharid mine and fill up my inventory with iron or silver, then go back and bank it. then repeat the cycle. The point is, i could craft a full load of runes without taking much time out of my routine. This is just an example, be creative with this method. 5)collect body talismen, they are by far the most common kind, and give the most exp when used to enchant tiaras. dont bother with body rune crafting. they are useless and not close enough to a bank to be good for exp. This is just a good way to get an exp. boost once in a while. 6) at lvl 44, you can craft 5 airs per ess. if you want, you can join the world 16 air crafting company. I dont want to explain how to do this, but there is a link to it in a recent tip.it times article: "how official are you". this is by far the fastest way to gain exp on free servers, so i've been told. unfortunately, i havent reached that level yet (i will soon) and havent tried this. note: the air altar is the closest one to a bank edit: the air crafting company official instructions can be found here

not yet, but i could certainly get well over 1 mil with a bank sale. i currently have 500 wines of zammy (telegrabbed them all!) and 500 mith bars (mined/smithed them all!) and once i have 1k of ea, i'll sell them all for a quick 2 mil! Btw, i'm lvl 59 and f2p. \

dont mine coal until you are lvl 60 or higher. Coal is very slow if you dont use the guild. stick to iron, its pretty good for money

only for some items. it leaves out a lot.

A lot of people dont know how to find out the high/ low alch value of items without alching them. There is an easy way to find out for both of them. for low alch, check the sell to store price when the store has none stocked. For high alch, check the sell to store price at a specialty store when there are none stocked. For items with no specialty store, you can use the general store in the wilderness bandit camp, which buys all items for specialty store prices. I'm not sure if any other general stores work this way or not.

Yup, it's a good way to test if all the natures needed for all the high alching could even have been made - and yes they could, which does back up the numbers given in the article a little more. did you consider how many nature runes are not used for high alching? Many are used for bind/snare, lots of miners superheat mith in the guild (including me), plus, the biggest use of nats (other than alching) is probably the mage training arena. on the flip-side, many nature runes enter the game from under 91 rcers, monster drops, and shops

tell tell that to durial321....

if jagex hates rares so much, they would have let the dupe keep going until they got really cheap then they would've taken them out of the game

hmm i think we can all learn a lesson from this. Never trust Jagex :^o . they will not hesitate to ban you for the next big bug even if you help them get rid of it. I will therefore never use the report bug feature. Too bad durial never had a chance to hide what he did :wall:

nice guide =D> !! i guess i'll start a pure now

i dont think you should do it b/c jagex does check multiple account transfers and i have heard of people getting perm banned for this. And no offense, but i HATE powerminers wasting all the precious ores and hogging the good mining spots for hours. but i mine and bank the ores. i dont pick them up from the ground. instead, you could trade the ores, its faster than dropping.
