Runecrafting Advice

[TubbyMcFee]

I've been leveling up my RC recently, and I need to get 50. I'm currently at 44, unlocking nats. Up until now, I've been buying my own ess and using the ZMI altar, which I found to be pretty helpful. Also, from what I've heard, you barely make a profit when buying your own ess and making nats. So my question is, which of these two methods will get me to 50 RC faster? Thanks for the help!

zmi should get you more xp/hr

Between nature runes and ZMI, ZMI is faster.

 

You could try mud runes - you need magic imbue (82 magic) and a binding necklace, pure essence and water runes, as well as lumberyard scrolls, rings of duelling, steam staff and an earth tiara.

 

1) Gear up at a bank. Have the necklace, staff, tiara and ring equipped. Have an abyssal familiar summoned. Fill any pouches and your familiar you have with essence.

2) Use a lumberyard scroll. Run to the earth altar and enter it. Stand next to the altar.

3) Cast magic imbue and use the water runes on the altar. You should craft 1 mud rune per essence. Empty your pouches and familiar (take BOB on the summoning button) and craft more essence. You have 10 seconds to do this, or your magic imbue spell will wear off.

4) Use a ring of duelling to teleport to Castle Wars. Deposit the mud runes and withdraw essence.

5) Go to step 1.

 

At current prices, you will use, for 15 trips (small + medium pouch and familiar):

 

1 binding necklace (717 gp)

15 lumberyard teleports (81420 gp)

2 rings of duelling (2070 gp)

30 astral runes (4470 gp)

585 pure essence (73125 gp)

585 water runes (7605 gp)

 

For a total of 169407 gp.

 

You will also use 5302 gp in abyssal parasite pouches per hour.

 

You will gain, per 15 trips:

585 mud runes (201240 gp)

5557,5 runecrafting experience

1290 magic experience

 

For a total of 201240 gp. The net profit would be 31833 gp per 15 runs.

 

I don't know how many trips you can do per hour, but I think the runs are pretty short, shorter than ZMI. You could perhaps get around 100 runs per hour? That would be some 37k runecrafting xp and 212k gp.
