Law rune running

"Law running" is a method to obtain "law runes".

With the balanced trade updates of 2 January 2008, the old method of trading pure essence for noted pure essence and law runes no longer works. A crafter with 60,000 coin trade limit would max out after only 6-8 trades. Therefore, crafters are now preferably being the assisters. A runner may use the Abyss or enter the temple using a law tiara or law talisman, and request assistance (See Assist System) of the higher level runecrafters.

On 7 May 2008, law talismans and law tiaras became tradable, meaning going into altar is accessible by many players that had not completed the Troll Stronghold quest. To encourage law running again, some crafters will provide free law tiaras at the entrance to the law altar on Entrana.

Requirements
No particular skill is required to run pure essence, although there are requirements for various methods of travel to and from Entrana.

Standard practice
Two worlds have been now officially designated as law crafting worlds; World 66 and World 99. On World 66, runecrafters are identified by red Zamorak robes; on World 99, by teal Canifis robes or cream Gnome robes.

A runner is suggested to enter the altar and use the Assist System by right clicking on one of the higher level runecrafters and requesting assistance. The runner then may craft his/her own law runes at the altar giving the experience to the assister.

To get started, runners will need pure essence in unnoted form. Pure essence can be mined from the rune essence (Rune Mysteries Quest required) with a Mining level of 30, or purchased from other players.

It is always helpful to wear weight reducing items such as Boots of Lightness, spotted or spottier capes, and Penance gloves.

Once players have the essence, the only further task is to get into the Law altar. The most common and fastest methods are listed below.

On World 99, if runners are in need of a crafter, they can request one from the FLOW99 team by visiting the entrana99 clan chat.

Also, on World 66, if runners are in need of a crafter, they can request one from the FLOW66 team by visiting the fastlaws66 clan chat.

To request assistance from crafters already standing there saying "open" or "assisting", right click on the crafter, and choose "req assist" then proceed to the law altar to craft laws, giving exp to the assister.

Selling and Buying

 * For current price estimates on law runes, see Law Rune.

After running, law runes can be sold to players for a notable profit.

The Grand Exchange is the most common and easiest way to both sell and buy law runes. Players needing just a single Law rune will often offer up to or more than 300 (400 isn't uncommon) coins.

Methods of transport
These are the different ways of getting to and from the Law altar, arranged from fastest to slowest.

''Note: Some assisters at the Law altar might provide a charged Amulet of Glory in exchange for a discharged Amulet of Glory to help runners run faster.

Note: All methods below except the Abyss require a Law tiara

The Abyss
Items and skills required:
 * Amulet of Glory or Paddewwa Teleport (spell requires completion of Desert Treasure)
 * High combat (not essential)
 * Any one of the following:
 * High Agility (squeezing through the wall)
 * High Thieving (distracting the eyes)
 * Tinderbox
 * Woodcutting axe (chopping the tendrils) *
 * Pickaxe (clearing some rocks) *
 * Mage of Zamorak miniquest (required)

* Note: Both Axe and pickaxe are not permitted inside the law altar, as this is classed as part of Entrana. Thus, these must be dropped before entering the law portal.

From Edgeville, run north to the Zamorak mage in low Wilderness. Go through the abyss to the Law altar. Craft the runes, then use an Amulet of Glory or Paddewwa Teleport back to Edgeville to bank and repeat the cycle. Check if any assisters at the altar will exchange your discharged Amulet of Glory for a charged one.

Optional:You might also want to bring Teleport to P.O.H(player owned house) runes or Tabs if you have a glory amulet Mounted in your home's Quest room (recommended next to enter portal) as it will provide unlimited teleports and may drastically speed up the process for those that cannot buy multiple glory amulets due to lack of money..it will save time instead of recharging glorys aswell..(see below for more detail)

Balloons
Note: This method requires the completion of the Enlightened Journey quest and unlocking the route between Entrana and Castle Wars (50 Firemaking required)

Items/ Skills required:
 * Logs
 * Ring of duelling

From Castle Wars, run north to the balloon Assistant and use the Logs to fly to Entrana. Run to the law altar and craft the runes. Then use the Ring of duelling to teleport to Castle Wars to bank and repeat the cycle.

Glory to Draynor
Items required:
 * Amulet of Glory

Suggested items:
 * Games necklace if you have completed the Heroes Quest.

From Draynor Village, run west to Port Sarim and board the ship to Entrana. Craft the runes, and then use an Amulet of Glory to teleport back to Draynor Village to bank and repeat the cycle. Check if any assisters at the altar will exchange your discharged Amulet of Glory for a charged one.

If you have completed the Heroes Quest, you can recharge several Amulets of Glory by taking them to the Heroes' Guild quickly with a Games necklace and banking the charged Amulets of Glory before continuing. It would be recommended to have several amulets if you are going to be using this strategy... up to 29 amulets can be recharged at once, allowing up to 115 trips to Entrana before having to recharge the glory amulets again.

Mounted glory to Draynor
Note: This method uses up one of the law runes crafted per trip.

Items/Skills required:
 * Teleport to House Spell (House teleport tablets or dust runes with 40 Magic is suggested)
 * A mounted amulet of glory (requires 47 Construction to build inside a Quest Hall)

From Draynor Village, run west to Port Sarim and board the ship to Entrana. Craft the runes, and then cast the Teleport to House spell. Rub your mounted amulet of glory to teleport to Draynor Village to bank and repeat the cycle.

Falador Teleport
Note: This method uses up one of the law runes crafted per trip.

Items/Skills required:
 * Air runes and Water runes / Mist runes with 37 Magic, or
 * Falador Teleport tablets

From Falador (either east or west bank, it doesn't matter), run south to Port Sarim and board the ship to Entrana. Craft the runes and teleport to Falador to bank and repeat the cycle.

Walk
This method is the slowest, but no items except the Law tiara required. Drinking 1 or 2 Energy potions each time you bank will help.

Run to Entrana. Craft the runes and run back to the Draynor bank. In addition, you may run from Entrana to the Pest control island bank and back.

One of the void familiars can be used to teleport to pest control, however this takes up one inventory space for the scroll.

Trivia
Before the 2 January 2008 Trade Limit update, law running was extremely popular among players, since runecrafters would pay back both the crafted law runes and noted pure essences (runners would get the law runes for free). However, the popularity dropped swiftly after the update as the traditional trade would easily exceed the trade limit. With Law tiaras being difficult to obtain requiring the Troll Stronghold quest, even using the Assist System was difficult.
