Only 2 teleports. And one of them can be free if you use a glory.

[xpx]

[15] [@RuneScript]: *** [ END ]: You gained 14,791 runecraft exp in 25mins 20secs. That's 35,031 exp/h. Estimated time to level up: 4hrs 10mins 4secs.

 

 

 

That is with 83 rc, used moonclan tele to bank.

 

 

 

The runes i got are certainly enough to break even, around 200 laws per 900 essence, and even more deaths.

[SupportMage]

This should be great for training (8k to 50 >.<) but in the long run I'll stick to making natures.

[cotamatias]

I have one thinkg, and one thing only to tell JaGeX; "{Cabbage} You, thank you for making the countless hours I spent RCing about 2/3 slower."

[malo2]

so it's about time I raise my lowest stat to lvl 75-80?

5 bucks says the RC pkers are crapping their pants over their sudden loss of "buisiness".

[cat666]

World 36 is the unofficial "official" world for this.

 

 

 

Free lunar teleports abound apparantly. Can't wait to get home to try this.

[zeke2006]

someone explain to me how it will work because u need to leave space for the lunar tele port so what u need to do?

[highveener]

Lvl 73 runecrafting here.

 

 

 

Tried the new altar for a few minutes/couple of rounds.

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

* 3 pouches

 

* earth staff (wielded)

 

* 100 lunar runes

 

* 50 law runes

 

* fire runes (for payment)

 

 

 

It took me about 45 to 60 secs (depending on run-energy) to get to the altar. Craft, empty 2 pouches, craft again, empty 1 pouch, craft again.

 

 

 

Teleported using newest lunar spell and ran back to the entrance and climbed down the ladder. Banked all crafted runes and extracted pure essences. Essences in pouches, banked again to extract more essence for full inventory. Running and banking costed me another 45 to 60 secs.

 

 

 

Finished a full round in less than 2 minutes. Xp I got every round was about 700xp.

 

 

 

Maybe I will continue runecrafting at this new altar when I am lvl 75 runecrafting (more XP due to extra pouch). Cool thing about the new altar: you can craft blood runes and soul runes!

 

 

 

Greetings,

Has this affected the price of nature runes at all? It may be too early to tell but if people are using this faster method it may make nature prices go up. I myself have 52k essence I was going to use to hit 70 Rc via natures. I might still do that because the cash is important to me at the moment.

Quit whining. It's not like this altar could be called the Pyramid Plunder of RC. If you thought that Jagex were never going to have an update to raise the abysmal exp/hour rate of runecrafting a bit, you have been extremely naive. They can't afford to have a skill wasting away. If you want things to stay the way they were, play a game that is not updated. There are plenty.

[krisc6]

fantastic update.well it looks like this is how im gonna be traning my rc from now on.i have about 27k fire runes i got from slayering and power fire crafting so i can just use 20k or so of them to use the bank.

 

 

 

btw if wearing a piece of zammy clothing do you become safe to the monsters in the area?

No, it doesnt work

[Mil]

Nice update, good if I need the xp, but i'd still prefer to craft through the abyss :-w

Be happy! You now have unique boasting rights since you can say you got your cape the old way! It gives your cape even more value!

 

 

 

The rest of the community (and me especially :mrgreen: ) is very happy with this update, maybe it will finally get me to train rc

[captainpoet]

I doubt this will affect the price of natures, because keep in mind although more people will be using this instead of nat rcing there will also be more people each day able to do double nats that got there quicker by doing things this way.

 

 

 

I can get about 2K - 2.1K pure ess crafted this way in an hour, and have 87 rc. I'm very slightly making a profit by rcing this way, but there's the trouble of selling all the runes. Why even bother selling the basic runes though :P

 

 

 

Oh yeah at 87 rc I get about 30.4K xp an hour.

[kamikaze914]

i like this update to be honest

 

 

 

i always though rcing was walking from bank to alter ,but now you have to tele using free laws that you get

 

 

 

it also supplies you with the runes that any main would use, let alone the awesome experiance

 

 

 

nice one jagex

[pokstair]

Some thoughts you may want to consider.

 

 

 

There is an altar next to the ladder. Use it. Use protect prayer, or if your really that "on", Piety.

 

 

 

There is moonclan teleport, and the runes you craft can make up for all, if not some, of the runes you need to teleport to moonclan and back. (Better if group tele service as some people have posted.)

 

 

 

Why waste time drinking super energy, filling pouches or eating food to regain lost hp at bank? Tele to moonclan, take all that stuff out, tele to the other place, and while you are running, fill those pouches, drink those energies and eat that food. Then bank at the 20 rune guy (use those lousy runes that yer never gonna use like bodies!) and deposit/withdraw stuff. Time saved for your 20 runes. Consider this.

Doubtful. Once the novelty wears off people'll go back to crafting via the abyss, as that's where the profit lies.

[Mirror]

This sounds like a splendid update. Fast experience at the lost of not knowing what specific runes you will receive (aka: loss of mass money). Yes people complain that it could bring on more RC capes but it goes back to when Fletching was updated. Those that had capes before the string-x showed they had the mad clicking skills, even though there were going to be more capes being brought in. They got over it, so will the others (hopefully).

[Mil]

Yeah, I'm sticking with Abyss RCing, I need the runes, not the xp. But for those who find RC 'boring' or 'troublesome' (SHAME ON YOU), its a great oppurtunity for you to increase your RC level! :XD:

Warrior dropped it

[pokstair]

The xp rate is good, people who initially were using Abyss to RC cause they found it fast and they didnt want to lose money off craft/run services might use this if you can break even off it.

 

 

 

It's about opportunity cost. People who are willing to sacrifice money for XP will shift away from abyss. Even law crafting on worlds like 66 may lose people if the xp rate is comparable, since they wont lose as much money.

[Tyrrell9]

Pretty good update, much faster xp if you dont mind the randomness of the runes.
