Kahote Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 So i am coming up on 2k rune ess and was thinking about runecrafting them to train my magic as well as my runecrafting (will be good for future) on my new FUTURE p2p range/mage... i was wondering. should i sell the 2k rune ess for 20k and buy my runes/arrows to do some pre-p2p training? or should i just rc them to get mage training + rc? Also, i literally just saw someone die in the runecraft tele place south of varrock east bank die to a swarm of flies (he was like level 55). this is the picture after i picked up all his stuff: What do you think?

pokexpert Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'd say rc too and 2k r ess is more than 20k, it's more like 50-60k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahote Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 What should i rc them into? And does anybody have any idea what my runecrafting level will be after i craft 2k of them? (i am starting at level 1) "You're pro or you are a noob.......that's life." - Athene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nopheo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 well start with airs then do minds so you can cast air strike till you can do fire strike. Buy an air staff and a fire staff. When you start minds use air staff and cast air strike till you can use fire strike when you will equip fire staff and need both airs and minds.

Kahote Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I am level 21 mage and have both an air staff and fire staff. What should i do in terms of rcing at this point if my rc level is 1 ? "You're pro or you are a noob.......that's life." - Athene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tired_souls Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 You cant do anything at lvl except Air Runes. you need to make Air Runes to lvl RC to able to craft other runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahote Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Okay, we've established i should rc. and obviously, i can only rc to air runes right now. can anyone give NEW information as to maybe how many or tips on how to? Thanks in advance. "You're pro or you are a noob.......that's life." - Athene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin1357 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Okay, we've established i should rc. and obviously, i can only rc to air runes right now. can anyone give NEW information as to maybe how many or tips on how to? Thanks in advance. theres skill planners on tip.it to figure out what level you would be after you use the 2k essence. if you mean how many just do all. how to, well theres really only one way, go to the alter by falador and go in and make the runes. you should start using the skills guides on tip.it. they help a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahote Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I do use them. I was wondering how many airs before i move on to minds... "You're pro or you are a noob.......that's life." - Athene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 rc it, the airs should make up for the price, plus you might level enough to craft doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celestrana Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Money is fleeting, exp is forever. So runecrafting is the way to go. If you're P2P and you can do the runecrafting Abyss mini-game, then the amount of time you'll take per run will essentially be the same, regardless of the rune type. If you're runecrafting without the Abyss, then stick with Airs for as long as possible since the Mind altar is an annoying walk/run from the Falador Westside Bank. If you really need Mind runes to train magic, then switch to Minds as soon as you can. Elemental runes can always be substituted with its respective elemental staff but catalyst runes like Mind or Chaos should be runecrafted. Air runes are common to nearly all the spells in the Modern spellbook so my advice is to invest in an Air staff and runecraft any other elemental and catalyst rune you need.

Kahote Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks for that very nice answer. Here is the deal if you want to elaborate more and give me an even more specific answer. I like how you say to switch to mind runecrafting as soon as i can but that's the thing. i am using a fire staff and training with fire combat spells (stronger as i can). I will be using airs and minds until i get to chaos. So do you think i should stick with that spell? thanks!

I will be using airs and minds until i get to chaos. So do you think i should stick with that spell? thanks! Yes, most definitely! I started training Magic back when I was on the free servers and to support my training, I mined my own essence and runecrafted Minds and Air Runes. When my runecrafting reached the required level to make Fire Runes, I promptly switched to it so that I could gain more experience. Fire combat spells are also the optimal choice since they are more damaging and thus you can gain more experience. I've heard "failed Cursing" is also a possible method of Magic training. "Failed cursing" is when you wear equipment that purposely causes your spell casting to fail and you constantly cast the Curse spell. Personally, I don't like this method since you have to pay attention to the game 100% and constantly be clicking the Curse spell and then your target, then the Curse spell and then your target etc. OK, back to runecrafting. Mining your own essence is a necessary evil, especially if you want to save bundles of money -- I was dirt broke and I am still dirt broke since I dislike wasting time merchanting; I prefer to be as self-sufficient as possible. To keep myself from going insane, I mined 1000 essence then I runecrafted 1000 essence worth of runes. Other people prefer to mine or buy as much essence as possible before they make their runes. Just use what you're comfortable with and is within your sanity boundaries. Good luck and happy 'Scaping!

mchainmail Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, most definitely!

Fire combat spells are also the optimal choice since they are more damaging and thus you can gain more experience. While you may gain more experience through fire runes, you will gain more profit (through multiple runes per ess) and more experience per hour (with a closer altar) with air runes. Instead of using fire strike, if you are trying to be frugal use earth strike. Earth strike hits for 2 less, but only uses 1 air as opposed to 2 in fire strike.

Kahote Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 ok, so do you recommend me using an earth staff? "You're pro or you are a noob.......that's life." - Athene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nopheo Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Oh I forgot about that. Use Earth staff to be cheaper per spell. I am not sure if its better though because you can only hit 6 instead of 8 and with that low of numbers 2 damage is a lot. Its a dif of 2v3 runes and 6v8 damage. Fire strike would be faster and airs are a lot easier to get multiple of then minds since they double so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
