death runes almost useless in F2P now?

[ixfd64]

I've been pretty busy in real life, so I haven't played much RuneScape lately. However, I decided to come back recently to check out the EoC changes, and it seems that Teleport Block is the only F2P spell that uses death runes. So I'm just curious: are they almost useless on the free version now? In any case, I'm holding on to mine just in case Jagex decides to add more spells that make use of them.

 

That having been said, would having a "teleblock partner" for training be very practical? I'm thinking about something like this:

 

1. Go to level 1 Wilderness with a partner.

2. P1 casts Teleport Block on P2

3. P2 casts Teleport Block on P1

4. Both players step out of Wilderness to clear the block

5. Go to step 1

Doesn't Teleblock only gets you like 80 exp?

Alching would be faster and less annoying, and IMO less click-intensive.

You could probably alternate alch/tb. But it sounds like a lot of effort - curious to see if you can keep it up. You can try casting on blue dragonhide (also decreases your accuracy a lot), that way you splash and there's no spell to cancel. In P2P, people used to train this way with curse spells and alchemy. With EoC changes, getting your accuracy down to zero is impossible though.

Teleblock gives only 80-88xp so you better off selling those death runes and alch or something..
