im lvl 34 currently...any suggestions? i can mine the essence fast, and i dont really want to spend money right now (unless i'll be able to get it back), but which rune would be best to craft?

Well if you got some glorys kicking around chaos runes are good using the abyss (watch out for pkers). Or you can make cosmics for allmost the same xp but it would be a bit more walking then using the abyss.

he said f2p. Go with air runes so U will make some profit as well

air running. Search for it on the official forums.

Go to world 16, and go to the air alter. Bring all of your ess noted as well as all of your money. Say "Open" and then trade someone 2k for 25 ess and then you just craft them and say open again and repeat. It can get very expensive, but it is the fastest way

i thought about air running, but i dont think i can even break even- i only get x4 on airs. how low would i have to go to break even?

If you mine your own ess, and get 4x airs, paying 2k, selling airs at 15, than you lose 500gp per 25, but gain 125xp, making it 4gp per xp, and no improvement until you hit your 44 target.

 

 

 

Now if you can sell the airs higher, the losses are reduced, but 20gp (giving you free XP) would be a pretty stiff price to get.

 

 

 

Alternatively, you could recoup the losses by doing some runs on the other side, with a 500gp loss per 25 crafted, 1 run would pay for 4 craftings, or crafting your own ess would pay for 3 more craftings and give XP as well.

 

 

 

The other main F2p routes are:

 

* Body - the fence removal makes it reasonably quick, and the highest F2P XP per ess, but body runes are not much sought after.

 

* Fire - using the store to un-note my be a little faster than banking, but costs.

 

 

 

I think all the other paths are too long to do for XP, though rune trading with at least a K of them all might be interesting, but air, mind and fire seem to be the most traded - with a target of 44, doing some 4x minds at 42 may be worth a shot, not for a great rate of XP, but for filling orders for 1k/2k of minds.

Run the essences yourself, it doesn't take that long. And you'll make a lot of profit even if you buy your essences.
