Arceus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 For anyone who does fire rune running, do you think the loadstone method makes running fire runes worthwhile for F2P? The method is: (1) Start at Al-Kharid bank.(2) Home teleport.(3) Run to altar and craft.(4) Home teleport and bank.(5) Repeat (2).(6) Rest, and then repeat (3), (4).(7) Start again. Note: Resting is a few seconds out of the way so resting every other run is more efficient. Since I don't run fire runes I figure I might be able to get my times down slightly with enough practice, but here is what I have so far. I did 2 tests consisting of running two trips of essence each, yielding 28*7*1.1 xp (full inventory and explorer ring) and they took 3:07 and 3:04. Using the latter, that is around 8400xp/hr, which falls a little short of other methods, if memory serves. It is also noteworthy that there is almost no profit for fire runes compared with others.

Hegelstad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 At such low speeds, i would say profit is negible, focus on xp/hr rates. My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arceus Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I guess I'll do some more fire running and see if I cant at least get up to 9.5k/hr. Right now such a rate seems almost unbelievable. It also seems to indicate 13k/hr xp with air runes, without gloves (!!). I must be doing something wrong... "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."
