well i used to use runners when runecrafting, i took a break from it ages ago, and decided to come back to it, but i dont understand the new concept of using runners as you dont trade your runes for ess any more due to the trade limit. i would be gratefull if someone could explain this.

many thanks

Most people have to make use of the request assistance feature now. Basically you have people bring an inventory of essence, choose the request assistance option and then they craft their runes. They keep everything they crafted but you would get all the experience. I believe you can get up to 30k experience a day using this method. However essence running is now only really popular at higher levels when making double natures or 9x air runes.

You'll need at least 77 rc before people will Req Assist you. Basically, anyone who Req Assists you "borrows" your level to do something. For instance, if you have 88 rc, they "borrow" your level to make 9x airs, although you get the experience. The only problem with this is that there's a 30k xp/24 hrs limit on this method.
