Back into RS - RCing and fletching?

[bagpiperdude]

Ok, I'm back into RS now (been out for a while, since before hunting and summoning were introduced). Before I left, I was working on bringing my RC level up and its at 49 right now. I have 70 attack, 61 def, and 67 strength, own a whip and about 500k and thats all of any real value.

 

 

 

I checked the skill calculator, and it seems like an extraordinarily high number of runes I'd need to cast to get up to 54 so I can craft laws - something like 6 or 7k. Sure, maybe thats not a lot - but crafting nats seemed to take forever, even in the abyss. Has something changed in RCing, or am I just forgetting how much running back and forth really is involved?

 

 

 

Also, I have 72 fletching... whats the big cash cow in fletching right now, now that I heard high alching is out?

 

 

 

Or is crafting nats, making yew short/longs (buying the logs, making the bs), and alching them the way to go still?

 

 

 

Sorry - normally I can figure all of this out myself, but there's so much to take in and a lot of conflicting reports... and I've been out of the RS world for a while!

 

 

 

Thanks!

Do nats. Forever.

ZMI is best for runecrafting, if you get your summoning up, you could use a abyssal parasite to hold 7 essence, and at the abyss you are always getting more xp than any other method.
