I just wonder the reason.Fire is the most commonly used in combat magic and superheat or alchemy.Crafting fire is not the easiest runecrafting.

its because it is a common drop from flesh crawlers, which are very good for combat exp. they drop fire runes in packs of 50, on average. So thats why.

Body rune I believe...

 

 

 

edit: Oh, fire is cheap because you get a lot of them during slayer... 1-85 got me 110k fires.

Because so many slayer monsters drop assloads of them.

Massive drops from slayer monsters, 80-83 alone will get 60k+

This.

 

 

 

So many slayer monsters drop it frequently in 100+ packs..

Body rune I believe...

they drop fire runes too :wall: not only body. and body runes are like, 11 at a time.

 

 

 

And i guess slayer is a reason too, but i wouldent know, im not really big on slayer.

Fire giants, harpie bug swarms.. etc.

 

 

 

Slayer is a big income of fires.

There's are also very little demand. Most people use a fire/lava/steam staff for spells involving fire runes, so they're main use now is to pay the banker at zmi, and maybe alching without a staff while killing things.

If you look at the combat spells, even fire spells require more air runes to cast.

 

Water runes are needed for Ancient spells.

 

 

 

What about Earth runes? Well, like others have pointed out, Fire runes are one of the most common rune drops in the game.

 

 

 

Also, Fire runes ARE one of the quickest runes to craft. It's just that most people choose profit instead when it comes to RCing.

As has already been said, slayer monsters drop huge loads of fire runes. Dust devils drop several hundred at once and the average slayer task can weild 1k=2k fires. Fire giants drop them quite frequently too. Even bloodvelds if I'm not mistaken. The only demand for fire runes is players who use elemental spells (f2p) because it saves more money to use an air staff than a fire staff.

There is a certain combination rune which is the same price yet way more useful.

Lets see, common slayer task monsters drop loads of them. Here is a list of a few

 

Harpie Bugs

 

Fire Giants

 

Pyrefiend

 

Cockatrice

 

Dust Devils

 

Greater Demons

 

Lesser Demons

 

Black Dragons

 

and many many more, and they drop them in big ammounts too.

Body rune I believe...

He was talking about fires :wall:

1) Altar location means of all the elemental runes they r uber easy to craft and r popular for power training

 

 

 

2) Slayer monsters drop a ton of them

 

 

 

3) 90% of rs players have a fire staff or lava staff and therefore no need of the runes

 

 

 

all in all it means huge supply, tiny demand

People seem to forget that Fire Runes are the main training method of most Runecrafters lvl 16-44.

 

 

 

So yeah.

Don't forget that it is also the highest level comabt based rune a F2P can craft. This means F2P Rcers are also responsible for this low price.

i rced fires simply because with ring of dueling a load could be done in under 60 seconds, including the loading times.

 

quick and easy.

 

so even before slayer they was easy to get hold of

Masses left over from the dstone trick.

I just wonder the reason.Fire is the most commonly used in combat magic and superheat or alchemy.Crafting fire is not the easiest runecrafting.

 

 

 

Runecrafting is not the only supply of Fire Runes. As others have mentioned, they're the most dropped item from slayer monsters, usually in the highest quality.

 

 

 

So they're cheap because of supply vs demand.

I had around 200k fire runes at 92 slayer. Over 150k from 99 ranged.

 

Imagine how many there must be in the game after all these years.

Don't forget that it is also the highest level comabt based rune a F2P can craft. This means F2P Rcers are also responsible for this low price.

 

 

 

No one crafts fires on F2P...

Lotsa people craft fires in f2p.

 

 

 

Lotsa people also craft fires in p2p with ring of dueling.

Other than high supply and low demand, I've heard that Jagex has a floor price set for fire runes, and as of such, fire runes cannot decrease in price any lower than they are now.

Apart from Slayer it is also because people tend to use fire staffs especially in f2p a lot more than they use other staffs so the need for runes even though it is more commonly used than other runes is less because more people use the staff.
