Need help getting runes...

[Scoringsam21]

ok...im f2p and tryin to get runes so i can get my magic level up...i dont have much money so ill have to kill monsters...what is the best rune dropper besides dark wizards and wizards?i was thinking it was ice giants...?

[Intriguing]

Yeah... that's a terrible idea. Either find some way to make money, or get your runecrafting up. Preferably the latter. Just mine your own ess, and craft it into airs or something. Either use the airs, or sell them to pay for runes. Or both.

Well, here's a good way that I found accidentally-on-purpose. It may take a while, but you get to train range, get a motherload of runes, and train magic. (Unless you have a decent ranging level already then you save a bunch of time)

 

 

 

Just range the dark wizards south of varrock, you get hundreds, if not thousands, of runes there if you work for a few hours and bring a decent amount of lobs with you. THEN you go train mage elsewhere with your new-found fortune of runes. :P

 

 

 

Well, that's what I did, I'm not sure how that will work out for other people, though. Good luck! :thumbsup:

Mine Rune essence yourself in Varrock. It really doesn't take long at all and it's costless (well, except for buying a pickaxe). Your Runecrafting level will shoot up fast until about 40 or so. By that point you'll be able to make like 2-3 times as many Air runes with a single Rune essence.

 

 

 

And as far as money suggestions go, I would mine Iron ore and sell in bulk once you get 1,000+. 1,000+ Iron ore will easily sell in World 1 Falador for 70-100gp each.

With a decent melee combat level and good RANGED armour, the Wizards can be meleed just as effectively.

 

 

 

Did a 1 man invasion of the wilderness dark wizards (in full green D-hide) - Wow! - on my main, barely needed to eat at all, while the wizards kept attacking, rhen able to prolong food even more by picking on level 7's only when they turned non-aggressive.

 

 

 

In the end, it was a PKer who gave me the hurry-up to leave, after keeping PKer at bay with a last combat.

 

 

 

The varrock wizards are so busy, while the widerness ones are practiacally unused, begin by auto-attacking any level - the only fly in the ointment is a possible PKer close enough in level, so have an escape plan - simplest one being to use a low occupancy world and run south on any white dot, or spend a law rune on a tele, as any good session with the wizzies should bring in some replacements.
