Pay-to-play Runecrafting training

The Runecrafting skill can be a very profitable skill to train. While considered one of the slowest skills to train, it often provides tremendous profit to those willing to level it to 99. By following the most common money-making methods, players can usually expect to make approximately coins profit over the course of getting 99, assuming they buy their pure essence from the Grand Exchange. Note that the amount of profit may differ from player to player, depending on their methods of training runecrafting, a player runecrafting at the ZMI may receive less profit than those who make other runes, such as nature runes, death runes, blood runes, etc.

Fire runes (14-27)
‎ For players with level 14 Runecrafting, Fire runes are a simple and steady way to level Runecrafting. As an affordable teleport option for quick banking, the Ring of duelling (8) allows players to easily gain around 20,000 experience per hour while making Fire runes. The fire altar is located north of Al Kharid, making use of the Ring of duelling, players may choose to bank at Castle wars using the teleport option. An alternate method, which may be faster, is doing fire runes until level 20 Runecrafting then creating body runes instead. Another method is repeating this method until 44 Runecrafting, then crafting nature runes until 54(law runes). This method is faster but less cost efficient, so its only recommended for those going for more xp in a shorter amount of time.

Suggested skills

 * Abyss (miniquest)
 * Level 14 Runecrafting
 * Level 54 Summoning is helpful for an Abyssal parasite but not required
 * Higher agility helps to restore run energy faster



Strategy

 * 1) Equip Fire tiara, Boots of lightness, Ring of duelling, Explorer's Ring 3 (for additional runes) and summon a familiar.
 * 2) Withdraw rune essence, fill pouches, then withdraw again to fill inventory.
 * 3) Use Energy potions to restore energy if not full.
 * 4) Teleport to the Duel Arena with the Ring of Duelling; the Fire altar is located north of here.
 * 5) Enter the altar, craft runes, empty pouches and repeat.
 * 6) Teleport to Castle Wars with the Duelling ring.
 * 7) Repeat steps 2-6.

Alternative

 * 1) Follow steps 1-2 of previous,
 * 2) Use an enchanted broomstick to teleport to Sorceress' Garden, which is by the shantay pass and thus also the shantay chest.
 * 3) Run to the fire altar and then quickly teleport back to the shantay chest, recharging your run at the musician if needed.
 * 4) Repeat steps 2-3.

Tips and hints

 * Always weigh 0 kg or less.
 * With the release of the Dungeoneering skill, you can craft runes while inside of Daemonheim using coins found in the dungeon. However, you will gain largely decreased experience and will not be able to generate a profit. To do this, coins and resources can be sold to be used to purchase large amounts of rune essence from the smuggler, and crafted at the nearby altar for roughly 2xp per 10 rune essence. The rune essence in the dungeons is only 50gp and is stackable. Monsters may also drop this inside of Daemonheim.

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimate of how much money players will make or lose per hour crafting Fire runes with the above mentioned method, assuming the player makes 2000 runes per hour, excluding the costs of rings of duelling.

Combination runes (15-44)
Crafting Combination runes at the Fire altar, particularly Steam runes and Lava runes can earn players between 30,000 (without pouches) and 40,000 (with pouches) exp per hour, which is significantly faster than crafting Fire or Cosmic runes; however this method results in a net loss, unless Steam runes are crafted using the Lunar spell Magic Imbue. For players without access to the spell, Smoke runes can be crafted using air talismans for a reasonable profit and only about 15% less experience compared to Steam and Lava runes. Using Binding necklaces is highly recommended to maximise both experience gain and revenue.

Strategy

 * 1) Equip Fire tiara or Fire talisman staff, Ring of duelling, Binding necklace, and any weight-reducing equipment that you have. If you are using Magic Imbue, consider using a Tome of frost and a Staff of fire (or equivalent) to minimise your costs.
 * 2) Withdraw runes corresponding to the type of rune you are crafting. If crafting Smoke runes, withdraw Air runes; if crafting Steam runes, withdraw Water runes; if crafting Lava runes, withdraw Earth runes. You use 1 of these runes for each combination rune you craft.
 * 3) If using Magic Imbue, withdraw the necessary runes for the spell, otherwise, withdraw air talismans for Smoke runes, or earth talismans for Lava runes. You will need 1 talisman per trip if using no pouches, 2 talismans if using pouches, and 3 if using pouches + familiar. Using water talismans for Steam runes is not recommended due to the cost.
 * 4) Fill your pouches and/or familiar, and your inventory with Pure essence.
 * 5) Use your ring of duelling to teleport to Duel Arena. Exit the gate and run north to enter the altar. "Use" your stack of Air, Water, or Earth runes on the altar to bind them into combination runes. If using pouches and/or a familiar, empty them and bind the remaining essence.
 * 6) Use your ring of duelling to teleport to Castle Wars, bank your combination runes and repeat.
 * 7) Re-equip new rings of duelling and binding necklaces when they run out of charges.

Cosmic runes (27-59/82)
‎Crafting Cosmic runes will make players far more profit than crafting Fire runes. Furthermore, players with 59 Runecrafting will be able to make double cosmics; 2 runes per pure essence. This can provide exceptional profit, although the experience will be less than crafting Nature runes or Law runes.

Requirements

 * Abyss (miniquest)
 * Level 27 Runecrafting, although with 59 Runecrafting you will make much more profit.
 * Lost City quest
 * A Fairy Tale Part II is highly recommended for use of Fairy Rings (Note: completion of A Fairy Tale Part II is not needed to have access to the fairy rings, only the godfather's permission).
 * Level 54 Summoning is helpful for an Abyssal parasite but not required
 * At 46 Agility, one of the agility shortcuts are available (the westernmost one), and at 66 Agility, another shortcut becomes available (the two easternmost ones)

Getting there
The cosmic altar is situated in Zanaris, the “fairy city.” The Lost City quest is required for players to enter Zanaris. Players may enter the city three different ways:
 * Enter the shed in the Lumbridge Swamp while wielding the Dramen or Lunar staff.
 * Players who have started A Fairy Tale Part II up to the point where the Fairy Godfather has given permission to use the Fairy rings may use any Fairy ring to teleport to Zanaris. Fairy rings also require players to wield a Dramen or Lunar staff if they have not completed A Fairy Tale Part III.
 * Break a cosmic altar teleport tablet (reward from The Great Orb Project, requires 50 Runecrafting) for a direct teleport outside the altar.



Strategy

 * 1) Enter Zanaris from the shed in Lumbridge swamps. The bank is far west of the entrance.
 * 2) Equip Cosmic tiara, Boots of lightness, Spotted/Spottier cape, and summon an abyssal familiar.
 * 3) Use Energy potions or Explorer's ring (if charges remain) to restore energy if not full.
 * 4) Withdraw pure essence, fill pouches, then withdraw again to fill inventory.
 * 5) From the bank, run east, then south when a path appears. The path has two Agility shortcuts, players should use the best shortcut they can, if possible.
 * 6) Enter in the altar, craft runes, empty pouches and repeat.
 * 7) Return to bankers by backtracking.
 * 8) Repeat steps 3-7.

Alternatively

 * 1) Go to Edgeville with all items equipped.
 * 2) Enter Zanaris through the fairy ring east of Edgeville.
 * 3) Run east, then south to the Cosmic altar. The path has two Agility shortcuts, players should use the best shortcut they can.
 * 4) Enter in the altar, craft runes, empty pouches and repeat.
 * 5) Either backtrack to the Fairy ring and use the code D-K-R to go to Edgeville or use an Amulet of Glory to teleport back.
 * 6) Bank in Edgeville, then repeat steps 2-6.

or


 * 1) Go to Edgeville with all items equipped.
 * 2) Head north into the Wilderness and speak with the Mage of Zamorak to teleport to the Abyss.
 * 3) Head to the inner circle of the Abyss
 * 4) Go to the Cosmic altar entrance and enter it.
 * 5) Craft runes at Cosmic altar and teleport to Edgeville.
 * 6) Repeat steps 1-5.

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimate of how much money players can make or spend per hour by crafting Cosmic runes with the above mentioned method, assuming the player crafts 1,000 cosmic runes (2,000 at level 59) per hour.

Nature Runes (44-91)
‎ For players with level 44 Runecrafting and up, Nature Runes are a fast and useful way to level Runecrafting. There are many different ways to travel, all relatively fast.

Suggested skills

 * Level 44 Runecrafting
 * Level 57 Summoning is extremely helpful for easy teleportation to the Nature Altar
 * Higher Agility helps to restore run energy faster



Suggested quests

 * Started A Fairy Tale Part II for use of the fairy rings system (if Summoning is not yet level 57).
 * Finished Heroes Quest for access to the Fountain of Heroes to recharge your amulets of glory.
 * Finished Shilo Village easier to get to bank quicker (if not using fairy rings or Spirit Graahk).
 * Finished Lunar Diplomacy for Contact NPC spell. (Fast way to repair pouches without the use of the abyss)

Strategy 1

 * 1) Begin in the Edgeville bank.
 * 2) Equip Nature tiara, Boots of lightness, Amulet of glory, Dramen Staff (unless you have done Fairy Tale 3), and summon a familiar.
 * 3) Withdraw pure essence, fill pouches, then withdraw again to fill inventory.
 * 4) Use Energy potions to restore energy if not full. A player with a high enough Agility level will not need this. Also, if a player has between 40-56 Summoning, it is recommended to use a familiar that restores run energy, such as a Bull Ant or Spirit Terrorbird.
 * 5) Run north-east, cross the bridge, then run south to the Fairy Ring.
 * 6) Teleport to Karamja Island, code C-K-R.
 * 7) Run east to the Nature Altar
 * 8) Enter the altar and convert your runes to Nature runes.
 * 9) Empty your pouches and repeat.
 * 10) Teleport back to Edgeville using the Amulet of glory.
 * 11) Repeat steps 3-10.

You will make a trip every 2 minutes. If you have a small, medium, and large pouch, you will make 1290 nature runes and granting you 11.6k runecrafting experience every hour.

Strategy 2
If you have level 57 summoning and can summon a Spirit graahk: If you proceed this way, you will make a trip about every minute, doubling your experience. If you have a small, medium, and large pouch, you will make 1800 runes and receive 16k (17-18k if you are a fast clicker who makes very few mistakes) runecrafting experience every hour. Medium, large and giant will make 3000 for 27k per hour.
 * 1) Start in Castle Wars bank,
 * 2) Summon a Spirit graahk and use its ability to teleport you to the graahk hunter area on Karamja, a 30 second sprint to the Nature altar. A quick way to teleport with the spirit graahk is to right click on the summoning icon next to the minimap and select left click select. Choose interact. You will be able to interact and teleport faster with just a click on the summoning icon.
 * 3) Teleport back to Castle Wars with a ring of duelling and repeat.

Alternatively, you can replace the ring of duelling and use the recently introduced Ring of Kinship to teleport to Daemonheim for free. The benefit is unlimited teleports to a bank without paying for any rings of duelling. The downside is the slightly longer distance to run to the Daemonheim bank. (10-15 secs run, compared to Castle Wars' 2 sec run).

Strategy 3
If you do not have any amulets of glory, you can use the fairy ring network to teleport to and from the Nature Altar, using the bank in Zanaris as it is then the closest bank.

If you proceed this way, you will make the trip every 3 minutes. If you have a small, medium and large pouch, you will make 645 runes per hour and receive 5,800 runecrafting experience.

Strategy 4
If you have an Amulet of Glory mounted in your house, you can:

1. Buy/make a massive amount of house tele tabs

2. Teleport to your house, then use the mounted Glory to teleport to Edgeville. Retrieve all your Runecrafting equipment, all your tele tabs, and have some sort of method to get through the Abyss (a pickaxe, a decent Thieving/Agility level, etc.)

3. Run north to the Abyss teleport craft your Nature Runes.

4. Use your house tele tab, use your mounted glory to go to Edgeville, repeat 1-4.

Strategy 5
Another good way of crafting nature runes is by using nature teletabs from the Great Orb Project activity. When using this strategy, players can use an abyssal familiar, such as an abyssal parasite, to carry more essence per run. With this method you can craft over 8,000 pure essence per hour, however this does not take into account the time spent at the Runecrafting guild.


 * 1) After you have all your runecrafting equipment with you, break the nature teletab and it will take you to the altar.
 * 2) Craft your essence, empty pouches, take BoB and craft the remaining essence into runes.
 * 3) Teleport to Castle Wars using a Ring of duelling, or to Daemonheim using a ring of kinship.
 * 4) Withdraw your Pure essence, fill pouches and inventory.
 * 5) Repeat Step 1-4.

Tips and hints

 * Always weigh 0 kg or less.
 * One should always have an extra teleportation method (such as a combat bracelet, ring of duelling, amulet of glory) worn in case they forget to change/recharge their primary one.
 * Make sure you have all essence pouches available to you. Your Large pouch will become damaged after 30 uses. If you choose to allow the Dark Mage in the abyss to repair it, he will do it for free. If you don’t feel comfortable with the Abyss, you can bring them to Wizard Korvak in the Wizards' Guild, he will repair Large pouches for 9,000 gp and Giant pouches for 12,000gp, which is about the money earned from 1 trip to the Nature altar. Alternatively, players who have unlocked the ability can contact the Dark Mage with the level 67 Lunar Spell NPC Contact to repair their pouches.
 * The Draynor Village teleport on the Amulet of glory will take you north-west of the Wizards' Tower, where the Runecrafting Guild is located.
 * It is recommended you have at least 8 amulets of glory, as this will allow you to go a full hour without recharging at the Fountain of Heroes
 * Use the Falador teleport to get to the Heroes Guild or move your player owned house to Taverley and in the Housing Options menu, change it so you teleport OUTSIDE your house. The Heroes Guild is directly north of the Taverley POH location.
 * If you have level 54 summoning, you can summon an Abyssal parasite.




 * On the map to your right, route 1 is slightly faster than route 2 (by about 1 second). Although, the latter is slightly less click-intensive.

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimate of how much money players can make per hour crafting Nature runes with the above mentioned methods, assuming the player makes 2000 runes per hour, excluding the costs summoning pouches, and repairing essence pouches. The chart below is arranged by teleportation methods to and from the Nature altar.

Note this will increase when a giant pouch is used, and cash increase with levels as multiple runes are crafted.

Other Uses
The nature runes made can then be used to cast spells that will grant you more money and experience. They can either be used to cast High Alchemy for magic experience, or Superheat item for magic and fast smithing experience.

ZMI Altar 1-82/91/99 (Fast exp, little profit)
‎The ZMI Altar, also known as the Ourania altar, is currently the fastest way to gain Runecrafting experience. The official world for crafting runes at Ourania is world 70. Many players use this method as it can typically award the player up to 50,000 experience per hour. The downside to this method is that the runes crafted are random, so the player may make several cheaper runes, resulting in a slight profit to significant loss per essence purchased depending on runecrafting level. Every non-combination rune may be crafted at this altar, including Soul runes.



Requirements

 * Abyss (miniquest)

Recommended:
 * Level 71 Magic
 * Level 50 Runecrafting for less loss.
 * Completion of the Lunar Diplomacy quest
 * Lost City is suggested for players with a Runecrafting level between 59 and 91
 * Optional: Heroes' Quest or 89 Summoning to recharge an Amulet of glory
 * Level 40 Prayer
 * A Seal of passage must be equipped or in the players inventory at all times if they choose to talk to any NPC on the Lunar isle. (Unless they have completed Dream Mentor in which case they can simply talk to 'Bird's-Eye' Jack).

Getting there
The ZMI Altar is located in a cave west of the Khazard Battlefield and south-west of West Ardougne. The quickest way to get there is to teleport to the entrance of the cave by using the Ourania Teleport in the Lunar Spellbook. Alternatively, players may run there from Ardougne or the Khazard battlefield spirit tree, though these take longer. Players may also use the Ardougne Cape from the Tasks to teleport to the monastery and run west from there.

Recommended

 * †Restore potion are useful for players who have a low Magic level.
 * ††Level 54 Summoning is helpful for an Abyssal parasite but not required.
 * †††Any other items that give melee and magic defence are recommended too, such as Black dragonhide. However, Varrock armour is recommended because it only weighs 1 kg and provides moderate defensive stats. Agile Armour is also a good option but 90 (or at least 85) agility required. (Note: Agile Legs can be obtained at 80 (very rarely) or 81 agility, if you use summer pie to boost your agility to 85. Agile Top can be obtained at 85 agility, if you use a summer pie to boost your agility to 90.)

Strategy
This method typically takes 75 seconds to complete. No run energy restoration method is required for players with high Agility and who are carrying 0kg or less weight.
 * 1) Begin by praying at the Astral altar to switch to the Lunar Spellbook.
 * 2) Equip any protective gear, summon a familiar, and fill inventory with pouches, astral and law runes, and pure essence.
 * 3) Teleport to the entrance of the cave by using Ourania Teleport. Enter the cave.
 * 4) Run to the ZMI Altar (Don’t forget to enable Protect from missiles).
 * 5) Craft runes, empty pouches, then craft remaining essence into runes.
 * 6) Teleport back to your desired location and restock. Possible locations include:
 * 7) Lunar isle, via Moonclan Teleport
 * 8) Daemonheim, via Ring of kinship
 * 9) Castle Wars, via Ring of duelling
 * 10) Gamers Grotto, via Games necklace
 * 11) Edgeville, via Amulet of glory

This method typically takes 72 seconds to complete, and may be the only viable option for players without access to the Ourania Teleport spell, or who want to save a bit of money on teleportation runes. However, a Spirit Terrorbird or other run energy restoration method is compulsory, each complete run drains 25-30% energy on average with 0kg weight.
 * Alternative Method 1
 * 1) Purchase a massive amount of inexpensive runes (20 or 40 per run, less a few you will create).
 * 2) Teleport or run to Ourania.
 * 3) Run from Eniola to the ZMI altar and make runes.
 * 4) Run back to Eniola and bank with him using 20, or 40 if using a familiar. (You can now fill pouches while banking.)
 * 5) Repeat steps 3-4.

This method typically takes 63 seconds to complete. A Spirit Terrorbird or other run energy restoration method is recommended, each complete run drains 10-15% energy on average with 0kg weight.
 * Alternative Method 2
 * 1) Purchase a massive amount of inexpensive runes (20 or 40 per run, less a few you will create).
 * 2) Teleport to Ourania.
 * 3) Charge prayer at the "prayer" altar, and then go down the ladder.
 * 4) Bank with Eniola using 20, or 40 if using a familiar. (You can now fill pouches while banking.)
 * 5) Run to ZMI altar, and make runes.
 * 6) Repeat steps 2-5.

Tips and hints

 * Always weigh 0 kg or less.
 * World 70 typically has more players as it is the official world. This means that players will usually take less damage running through the cave as there will be more targets for monsters to attack.
 * Wearing an Ardougne cloak 2 or higher will grant the player a chance of receiving more runes from Ourania Altar (though it will not increase the experience you receive).
 * Make sure to turn off auto-retaliate before going through the cave, this can be distracting and cause you to take more damage.

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimate of how much money players can make or lose per hour and how much experience gained per hour using the ZMI Altar. This information is not very precise, but can be used as a rough guide. Players with a higher Runecrafting level will generally make more higher-levelled runes.

Tip: Many players prefer to bank at Eniola instead of banking at the Lunar bank since both banking methods have the same route, except that banking at Lunar Isle will make your trip an extra 5-10 seconds longer, this might not seem much, but the extra time will build up over an hour or more.

Blood runes (77-91)
‎

‎‎Crafting Blood runes is one of the best runecrafting training methods in the game yielding 23k-25k XP per hour (can vary). Players must have level 77 Runecrafting to use this method, and having completed Legacy of Seergaze.

Requirements

 * Abyss (miniquest)
 * Level 77 Runecrafting
 * Legacy of Seergaze
 * Heroes' Quest to be able to recharge Amulet of glory (optional)

Getting there
Since the Blood altar is located far away from a bank, the best way to reach it is using the Abyss. Or you can purchase a Blood altar teleport from Wizard Elriss by paying 45 Runecrafting guild tokens, but this could be time consuming so it is not recommended.

Item Needed

 * Level 54 Summoning is helpful for an Abyssal parasite but not required.
 * The Inferno adze is helpful as it also acts as a hatchet.

Strategy

 * 1) Travel to Edgeville
 * 2) Equip weight reducing clothes, Ring of duelling, Amulet of glory, summon a familiar, remove and fill pouches and inventory with Pure essence.
 * 3) Run north towards the Mage of Zamorak, teleport to the abyss and go inside the blood rift. Craft runes, empty pouches, craft remaining essence into runes.
 * 4) Teleport to Edgeville using the Amulet of glory, check charges.

Glory. Although it takes 10 seconds to teleport, it cuts the amount of time it takes to charge the amulets.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimate of how much money players can make per hour by crafting Blood runes with the above mentioned method, assuming the player crafts about 2,500 Blood runes per hour.

Astral rune crafting (82-91)


‎‎Crafting double Astral runes is generally considered one of the best non-combat money making methods in the game. It can generate about 0 coins per hour, and it also gives close to 25k-27k experience per hour. Players must have level 82 Runecrafting to use this method, which can be tedious to achieve.

Requirements

 * Abyss (miniquest)
 * Level 82 Runecrafting
 * Lunar Diplomacy
 * Heroes' Quest to be able to recharge Amulet of glory (optional)
 * Dream Mentor
 * Level 69 Magic


 * Players who haven't completed the Dream Mentor quest must wear the Seal of Passage if banking at the 2 bankers to the left of 'Bird's-Eye' Jack . If players do not wear the seal and they talk to anybody, they will be teleported off the island.

Getting there
Situated on Lunar Isle, the Astral altar is unique in a sense that players do not need to wear a tiara to craft the runes. Secondly, there are no Mysterious Ruins to enter so players craft runes outside. Finally, this altar permits players to switch their current spell book to the Lunar Spellbook.

To get there, players have two options. The first one is to use a teleport spell, such as Astral altar teleport, Home Teleport, Moonclan Teleport, or Tele Group Moonclan. The second option is to walk from Rellekka and talk with Lokar Searunner. He will take players to the Pirate’s Cove. Once there, talk with the Captain Bentley to finally get to the Lunar Isle. ''Astral altar teleport requires a Seal of passage. Home teleport and Moonclan Teleport are only available in the Lunar Spellbook.''



Item Needed

 * A Staff of earth may be used for unlimited Earth runes.
 * Level 54 Summoning is helpful for an Abyssal parasite, but you could also use a run-restoring familiar such as a Spirit Terrorbird (level 52) or Bull Ant (level 40). None of these are required, however.
 * The spotted cape requires level 40 Hunter to wear and reduces weight by 2 kg. The spottier cape reduces weight by 4.5 kg, however wearing it requires level 66 Hunter.
 * The agile legs and top require levels 85 and 90 Agility and reduce weight by 10 kg and 12 kg, respectively.
 * The penance gloves reduce weight by 7 kg, but cost 150 Honour points in each role at Barbarian Assault.
 * The Amulets of glory are used to teleport to Edgeville, in order to repair your pouches. Alternatively, you can cast the lunar spell NPC contact and speak to the Dark Mage to repair your pouches, saving a bit of time travelling to the Abyss or an even better and faster option is casting the spell Repair Rune Pouch, unlocked after obtaining 139,760 points in the Livid Farm activity.

Strategy
Note: Some players prefer not use a familiar due to the fact that extra time will be spent trying to load the familiar with essence. Keep in mind that just because you craft less runes in one run, doesn't mean you make less profit per hour. Eliminating the use of a familiar means you only have to bank once, which saves about 5 seconds instead of banking twice and doing extra clicks to fill up familiar, the extra time spent might not seem a lot, but it can build up over a large period of time. Just using 3 or 4 pouches can make each trip faster and more efficient than with a familiar.
 * 1) Travel to Lunar Isle.
 * 2) Equip Staff of earth, Ring of duelling, Amulet of glory, summon a familiar.
 * 3) Fill pouches and inventory with Pure essence.
 * 4) Run south-east out of town to the Lunar altar. Craft runes, empty pouches, craft remaining essence into runes.
 * 5) Retrace steps back to town. (Teleport back is recommended)
 * 6) Use NPC Contact/Repair Rune Pouches/teleporting to Edgeville and running to Dark Mage when pouches are degraded.
 * 7) Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.

Power Crafting Astrals
Players can make up to 4.3k astral runes every 40 minutes, which is the time of an Abyssal Lurker. Given the current price of astral runes, 4k astrals in 40 minutes is a good way to make money as a level 82 in Runecrafting. You can achieve this by using all pouches and an Abyssal Lurker.

Inventory:
 * 1) Pure Essence
 * 2) All four Runecrafting Pouches
 * 3) Abyssal Lurker
 * 4) Law Runes

Wearing:
 * 1) Spottier Cape
 * 2) Boots of Lightness
 * 3) Penance gloves
 * 4) Earth Staff (anything with unlimited earth runes)
 * 5) Seal of Passage (if Dream Mentor not finished)
 * 6) Holy Book (extra defence, light weight)

Bank:
 * 1) Pure Essence
 * 2) Energy Potion or Super Energy Potion
 * 3) Air Rune (NPC Contact)
 * 4) Cosmic Rune (NPC Contact)
 * 5) Food (Just in case)
 * 6) Extra pouches

Process:
 * 1) Have bank open
 * 2) Right click and fill your two/three pouches.
 * 3) Withdraw pure essence.
 * 4) Spawn your familiar/Fill your familiar with pure essence(Skip this step if you're not using a familiar)
 * 5) Right click and fill up the last one/two pouch(es).
 * 6) Withdraw pure essence.
 * 7) Run down to the altar.
 * 8) Craft the astrals.
 * 9) Teleport back to the bank.
 * 10) Grab more pure essence
 * 11) Right click and fill up two/three pouches.
 * 12) Withdraw more pure essence
 * 13) Fill your last two pouches then your familiar.
 * 14) Withdraw Pure essence
 * 15) Repeat

Tips:
 * 1) On your last bank trip before running back down to the altar, do not exit out of the bank. Just click outside to the east where you would like to run to. It saves an extra click and adds up in the 40 minute long run.
 * 2) When you have to repair your pouches, DO NOT go to the abyss. Simply use the spell NPC contact and talk to the mage and he will fix them or the Repair Pouch spell which can be unlocked by doing the Livid Farm activity. This saves more time.
 * 3) When you teleport back to the bank, just the second teleport. It is more magic exp for the same cost, and teleports you closer to the bank, which also saves time in the 40 minute longrun.
 * 4) Be sure to have accept aid OFF. Or else you will be getting messages to teleport back to the bank by other players.
 * 5) When teleporting back to the bank, use your mini map to run to the bank teller. Right before you run round the corner to the bank (while your still outside) 'call' your familiar. Now you do not have to wait for it to come to you when you are looking for it to hold your pure essence.

The Math:
 * 1) Assume 4k astrals were made every 40 minutes. (1 abyssal lurker)
 * 2) Making 12k astrals every 2 hours.
 * 3) Selling your astrals at per - that is.
 * 4) Minus the cost of the 6k pure essence - that is  profit in 2 hours.
 * 5) Divide that by 2 - an hour making astrals.

Nature rune crafting (91-99)
Crafting double Nature runes is considered one of the best non-combat methods to make money, often making over 500,000 coins per hour. With the introduction of Summoning and the use of the Spirit Graahk, players are capable of making over 6000 nature runes per hour and earning over 20,000 experience per hour (the experience per hour is the same between levels 75 - 91).

Requirements

 * Abyss (miniquest)
 * Level 91 Runecrafting
 * Level 57 Summoning

Items Needed
^Cannot be equipped at the same time.

Strategy

 * 1) Equip Nature tiara, Boots of lightness, Ring of duelling, Amulet of glory, and summon a familiar.
 * 2) Withdraw pure essence, fill pouches, then withdraw again to fill inventory.
 * 3) Use Energy potions to restore energy if not full.
 * 4) Right click on the Spirit Graahk and select the teleportation option. A  quick way to teleport with the spirit graahk is to right click on the summoning icon next to the minimap and select left click select. Choose interact. You will be able to interact and teleport faster with just a click on the summoning icon.
 * 5) Run north-east to the altar and enter it.
 * 6) Craft runes, empty pouches, craft runes, empty last pouch, and craft remaining essences into Nature runes.
 * 7) Using the Ring of duelling, teleport to Castle Wars, bank and restock.
 * 8) Repeat 2-7. If the pouches break then use your Glory and teleport to Edgeville, then go to the abyss and talk to the Dark mage. Alternatively, use the NPC contact spell with the appropriate runes in hand.

Tips and hints

 * Always weigh 0 kg or less.
 * A Summoning obelisk is on the way, making recharging summoning points quick.
 * Do not repair giant pouches until it degrades a second time. The time saved will actually yield more crafted runes than if repairing each time the pouch degrades.
 * Some of the fastest runecrafters use only the giant, large, and medium pouches. This saves the player time by only banking and crafting twice while only losing 2 pure essence per trip. (if using an abyssal familiar, banking three times is still required)
 * An even faster way to repair your pouches is to use the Lunar Spell NPC Contact. This requires completion of Lunar Diplomacy, a Cosmic rune, an Astral rune, and 2 Air runes or the Repair Pouch spell which can be unlocked by doing the Livid Farm activity.
 * Some other very fast runecrafters also use giant, large and small pouches—that way one only has to bank twice, while losing 6 pure essence per trip. With these pouches filled, one has to have 25 free spots and those pouches are 24 total.

Money and Experience Made per Hour
The following is an estimation of how much money players can make per hour crafting double Nature runes with the above mentioned method, assuming the player makes 4,000 runes in the hour. Although, the max amount of Nature runes made per hour can be over 7,000.

Omni-Talisman
At level 50 Runecrafting you can enter the Runecrafting Guild. You can get the Omni-Talisman by obtaining all of the talismans and bringing them to Wizard Elriss. This talisman gives you 13,605xp in Runecrafting (enough to get you from 50 - 51 runecrafting) as well as giving you access to all altars when it is in your inventory. If you want a tiara or talisman-staff instead give a blank Tiara or a blank Runecrafting Staff to Wizard Korvak. With the experience reward and the Omni-Talisman you get to keep the talismans you brought to Wizard Elriss.
