Only recently started playing RuneScape again, and it's obvious a lot of things have changed, but nevertheless, i've decided to train up magic from 70 to 80. I'm guessing high alchemy would be my best bet to do this with my distinct lack of gp, but i have a few questions.

 

First of all, i'm going to mine my own pure essence, which i can do easily enough. However, when it comes to crafting natures, is the abyss still the best way to do this? I'd load up my inventory and pouches with essence at edgeville, run to abyss, craft, and then glory tele back to edgeville again. Is this still the most effective way?

 

Secondly, what items should i buy to alch? I'd like to either break even, or make a small profit; as long as i'm not making a loss, i'm not too bothered.

 

And lastly, can anyone give me a time frame as to how long this will take if i play around 3-4 hours a day?

 

Thanks very much.

The abyss is the best way to runecraft natures until you have 57 summoning, at which point teleporting with a Spirit Graahk is the best method.

 

There's not really any point in training with high alchemy unless you're low magic - other methods such as bursting rock lobsters or plank making are better. Here is a site that lists the cost of alchemy for various items.
