ok to start im f2p and i know theres varied opinions over which runes to craft is it worth crafting bodies and if so whats the quickest way to do it edgville bank and back or am i missing something :?

Im pretty sure fire runes are decent on f2p, theres also air runes and mind runes... I wouldn't recconmend body runes because those are hard to sell.

:oops: sorry to clarify im just trying to get exp up so i can craft mutiple runes such as airs

Airs all the way if you're looking for some decent money.

go to world 16 and power craft air. it might take a lit money tho

:? whats this about power runecrafting in world 16 please explain ?

i recently went thru a goal of 40 rc (currently 51)

 

i got from 30 to 40 rc making 3000 bodies. i used edgeville bank, and i finished crafting all 3000 in about a week. BUT, no one wants to buy them. i gave 1000 of em to friend who needed em for some reason that i dont know. But to this day i still have 2k bodies just lying around collecting bank space for about 5 months now

 

 

 

Do whatever you want to do

world 16 is the OFFICIAL world for air running and the fastest rc'ing xp for f2p.(see the tip.it times article a few weeks ago)

 

 

 

and bodies DO have a use: curse is a cheap, moderately way to gain mage xp. just wear metal armor and other magic att reducing equip and curse low lvl monsters. you get the same xp for failing, but you can cast again if it doesnt hit.

I RuneCrafted airs since level 33 runecrafting and I'm 51 now. I have only made money, and airs easily pay for themselves :)

oh thanks for the help :D

Airs are the way to go IF you want money.

 

If you want fast xp, then Fast Free Airs on World 16 or Body Runes are the best.

 

 

 

FFA has a post on the Runescape Forums- under the runes section- find it and you'll learn more about it :)

Could I have em \ :D

:oops: sorry to be a pain but i have had a look about and cant seem to find info about world 16 air running could someone post a link please

If your looking for fast XP this is the best you can do without using the help of runners:

 

 

 

(1) - Get all Ess noted + some money + 26 ess (in itens)

 

(2) - Runecraft Fire runes

 

(3) - Go sell 25 noted Rune essences in Al kharid general store

 

(4) - Buy them back

 

(5) - Go to back to stage (2)

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: the "some money" means 4 coins for each noted Ess you have.

 

 

 

EDIT: ops, there's been some map changes near barbs recently that make bodys faster now. Runecraft Body runes wins now. Then only bad thing about them is that they are useless. I would do what I just said above. It's only 10% slower then bodys.

FFA on World 16 (as a crafter) cannot be recommenced for low levels, sin you would be giving away a lot of cash (or more airs than you can make from the ess) for the service of having your own ess un-noted.

 

 

 

If you are very low level, Airs move to double at 11, and minds at 14 (and every 11 and 14 after that is a further +1x) - both below the level 20 required for bodies.

 

 

 

Doing bodies to 22 (3x airs) or 28 (3x minds) may be worth a shot.

 

 

 

I find power-crafting Earths works passably well, mostly because you can switch between mining and crafting.

 

 

 

I wouldn't bother using the store at Al-kharid - the bank is not much further if you get a reasonable walk on the diagonals, and the store is extra steps and extra cash, remember you have to buy/sell in a maximum of 10's.

 

 

 

 

 

One other XP tip... never leave a talisman on the ground, they are 5x the XP of an ess at the same altar when crafter to a tiara. Buy tiaras from stores near a furnace, if large numbers have been dumped by silver smithers.

 

 

 

NB. Actual XP gained (compared to tiara use) works out to:

 

1. 4x, if you wear the blank tiara in and carry one talisman

 

2. 3x, if you replace 2 ess with another talisman and tiara

 

If you have multiple runs to do anyway, wear one blank tiara in and take the talisman, though that does add extra equip/unequip steps.

All made without running:

 

 

 

Airs runes from Falador West bank_________140xp/120s = 1,17xp/s

 

Fire runes from Al kharid bank____________196xp/180s = 1,09xp/s

 

Fire runes from Al kharid General store_____182xp/120s = 1,52xp/s

 

Mind runes from Edgeville bank ___________154xp/210s = 0,73xp/s

 

Body runes from Edgeville bank___________210xp/120s = 1,75xp/s
