Shad's Guide to World 16 Airs

Featured Replies

w16airsguideimg1xc2.png < Still a decent amount of runners at 4AM!

 

 

 

***Before I start, and before you head down to World 16, please read the W16 thread on the Official RuneScape Forums. (runes marketplace forum) Thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, you're a free player that wants the fastest RC EXP possible? Or maybe a memebr, that cannot afford that prue essence? Why not head to world 16 airs? It has quite an abundance of runners, and few crafters. (more exp for you) If you are a level of 55+ runecrafting, the cost of ess and cash breaks even, and even better, at 66+ you make a PROFIT! Money, and up to 25K exp an hour? Great for those low-cost RCers. Oh, and did I mention, runners come to you? :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, let's get started. There are a few requirements, and some suggested things as well.:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Requirments:

 

 

 

-10K+ Regular Essence (You don't need that much, but you'll be done with even 6K in an hour)

 

 

 

-500K+ cash (If you want to last over an hour)

 

 

 

-1 air rune in inventory

 

 

 

-Air tiara

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recommended:

 

 

 

-66+ RuneCrafting

 

 

 

-Fast computer (100+ people, constant trading and crafting = major lag)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*It'd also be smart to clear your computer of all minor viruses, as the faster the better here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

==============

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, to get those items you need.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 air rune in inventory: Ask someone for a free one, or bring 20gp to a rune shop. It's not that hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

500K+ Cash: Make money, merchant, sell items, woodcut, etc. (This isn't a money making guide, you know.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10K+ Regular Essence: First of all, head to World 1 (F2P), and withdraw all of the cash needed for the amount off essence you wish to buy. Head to Varrok, and go here:

 

 

 

w16airsguideimg2tt3cv2.png

 

 

 

Stand in the spot the red box is, and shout "Buying all reg ess (your price)ea! - (your name here)" It took me about 30 minutes to buy 175K at peak times, so it shouldn't really take you too long.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Air tiara: Grab 5K, and go to Falador East Bank in World 16, shout "Buying air tiara 5k!" and you'll have a seller in a minute or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

==============

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, you're ready to begin crafting. Here is a picture of the suggested inventory:

Now that that's taken care of, head on down to the air alter:

 

 

 

w16airsguideimg4uc5.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once inside, hurry and grab a spot to craft at. As crafters often fight over the best ones. ;) Here is a small map of the spots:

 

 

 

w16airsguideimg5pb6.png

 

 

 

The purple spots are the best spots to be around, red spots are decent, and blue spots are classed as horrible. ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, please examine the things circled in red in the following picture:

 

 

 

w16airsguideimg5lv6.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the trading, here is how everything works:

=================

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now just craft your runes, and repeat. PEak times to craft are when the US is awak. So try then. Have fun crafting, and thanks for reading! ^_^

How much do you sell the air runes for? And how much do you buy the essence for normally?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im 63 runecrafting, so if I buy the essence at 30 each and give 2k back, will I break even if I sell the airs at the price you sell?

At your price each air will cost you 18.33 gp to make. So if you sell for 18 each, you'll lose a tiny bit, anything higher you'll make a tiny profit.

Nice, but it looks a bit like my guide...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do not plagorize. But I'll be sure to check out your's to check it out. ;)

 

 

 

EDIT: It looks nothing like your guide, your's is about essence running. And how can it look like it, if you have about 3 images?

 

 

 

Our guides are both, totally different. :lol:

Being a little bit of a money safer... thanks Shadd! I had always heard of the airs being almost the same experience as W 66, but I never went to it. I'll be sure to check it out sometime soon. ::'

Nice guide, it's a great way to train a very difficult skill. However, you probably don't want to take all the ess you have, only 10k or so. It's very easy to accidently click "trade all" instead of "trade x" and because the trades move so quickly, not notice. Suddenly, you traded 150k ess for 25. :shock: Rather unfortunate.
