1. What level agility do you need to not have to use energy pots? I'm at 75 agility and still need one every so often .. (assume about 70 trips/hour)

2. Is it better to bank at cw or edgeville on a repairing run? Banking at cw would save you the time spent running east to the edge bank, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the 2 teles and run to chest.

1. I only have 71 agility and I didn't need energy pots at all. What are you wearing? With penance gloves, spottier cape, and boots of lightness I was fine.

2. I would bank at edge, I think it's quicker that way.

 

Also, I might recommend using the mobilizing armies teleport on the duel ring instead of cwars when you're crafting at a peak time. The downside is that the bank isn't a 1-click, but there's hardly anyone there, so you rarely have to deal with finding your graahk in the stack of other familiars like you do at cwars during busy times.

I'm not quite sure if it makes a difference in the long run or not (haven't timed it myself) but it might be worth looking into.

If you're fast and bank quickly - it seems like you're always going to need the very occassional Energy-Dose. I'm 94-Agility and when wearing the Agile outfit I still need a dose, albeit rarely, when I Runecraft.

 

However, I'd assume this is due to quick-banking, I don't bother to bank the Nature-stacks, use mouse-keys and have been doing it a while so am not really on the spot for long at all. Either way, the doses are very minimal and even a quick rest wouldn't impact things dramatically.

 

Whenever my pouch degrades, I continue to do the run, then Teleport to Edgeville - I do believe it's quicker that way. Furthermore, I'm on-and-off using Edgeville as the main-bank for Graahking so it doesn't really impact time as I'm used to it again. It's probably worth using rather than 2-teleports! :)

I guess I'll test the banking on repair run some time, maybe record video of it and compare. I weigh <0kg. And the stack of graahks aren't really a problem since I use 'call familiar' to close bank.

 

Is it really faster to leave natures in your inventory? I just use deposit all (full bank) and memorize the position of that button.

 

Edit: actually I just answered my question, since graahking maxes out at about 3600 ess/hour, that's a rate of 1 ess/second. Since it does not take 1 second to bank your natures, you should always bank each trip in order to gain that 1 extra essence.

 

Edit 2: by the way, it is unnecessary to repair right away, you get full ess even with a 6-9-9 pouch setup (giant stays at 9 for 2 fill-ups).
