There's a simple way to survive Abyss runecrafting.... Start by walking after leaping across the ditch. Make sure auto-retaliate is off and attack a Skeleton. Walk half way up to the Mage with the Skeleton still attacking, turn run on and right-click Teleport. Pkers usually can't touch you since you are under attack most the time. Extra tips: If you feel that you are still not safe from Pkers, don't replace your Glory Amulet with a Ring of Duelling so the loss won't be as high. After crafting the runes, Duel to Castlewars and take out a glory, then teleport to Edgeville and repeat. Craft at night, preferably the Americas timezone.
