Hello, unfortunately the search button doesn't seem to work with the new forums... so a lot of the information that I am seeking I have no immediate access to. I am more bouncing off ideas and hoping to answer a few questions that seem a little gray on my quest to get 99.

 

This is my current situation:

 

-My current Runecrafting level is 67.

-Currently I am making Death Runes through the Abyss until level 75.

-I am using the small, medium and large pouch (43 ess).

-Agility level is 61

-Weight < 10 kg

-Averaging about 1.2-1.4k ess per hour.

-Access to the ZMI.

-Lunar Magic spell book.

-No experience with Summoning or familiars.

-6M cash to work with

 

I am aware that there are much faster methods, and I am in great interest in learning more about them. I have heard several opinions on the best options as to proceed with my Runecrafting, and I was just hoping to get some more thoughts on the subject.

 

-QUESTIONS-

 

-Does double crafting a rune give more xp? if so, ZMI VS Double Astrals?

-Can other BoB besides Abbysal Familiars carry essence? (I have heard that only Abbysal familiars can enter the Abyss).

-I have heard that using Fairy Rings to craft Nature Runes is pretty quick xp, thoughts?

-With the new update in which you craft more runes at random, am I better off going back to Nature Runes?

 

I hope I have provided sufficient information, and I look forward to your comments. Any other insights that I might need would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and happy 'Scaping ^^

No.

No.

These two I'm not sure of.

No.

Any Familiar can enter the abyss, however only Abyssal Familiars can Carry Essence.

-I have heard that using Fairy Rings to craft Nature Runes is pretty quick xp, thoughts?

Its definatly not the slowest option available, however graahking and possibly abyss are faster options.

 

-With the new update in which you craft more runes at random, am I better off going back to Nature Runes?

No - If your runecrafting was higher (around mid to upper 80's) it would be ok to go back to nature runes, however, with your level you'd only get about 2 +- extra nature runes per run.

To above poster ^ he wouldn't get +-2. I'm level 71 with your exact set up and I generally get between 55-65 natures per run, with the 43 essence. I would recommend natures for now, they're excellent money....for now. But I've noticed a huge jump in the amount of people crafting them with the new update so I don't know how much longer they will hold their price.
