Talk:Free-to-play Runecrafting training

I'd like to rewrite large sections of this page, to make it similar to other training guides. The page lacks NPOV and is hard to get a good impression of how to train rc. Also, is there any particular reason the page isn't linked to from the rc page? --Serenity1137 20:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC) (if no one replies in a week or so I'll start making edits)

I am currently gathering information for a revamp of this page, if you want to discuss what should be done/ask what I'm planning to do/help out, post here or on my talk page --Serenity1137 08:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

This page is currently being revamped
Sorry for its terribleness at present, It may look similarly bad for a couple of weeks months. --Serenity1137 10:48, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Several months is way too costly. I recommend restoring the page and doing the work on your sandbox. 09:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Runecrafting ???
Look at the Runecrafting page it is very different. This page only has ways of training. That one has 1 to 99. Im runecrafting a lot so mabee i could help? 07:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That page should not contain training guides, but many people insisted to add some training guide, which should all belong to this page. I would be very graceful if you can help transferring info to here. 14:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've got to give credit to Manyman. Originally I was going to move the guide over from the general Runecrafting page for F2P training, and instead I simply revamped the whole idea and got rid of recommended activities at certain levels. I don't know if such a guide might be useful, but the one that was written is also obsolete due to changes in the Runescape economy... particularly with the removal of unlimited stock stores including the Rune stores. I also did a major rewrite on the general Runecrafting article to give a summary of F2P training, but not really going into specifics.


 * I hope this helps out. Certainly the calculators have opened my eyes about some interesting possibilities that I hadn't thought of before. --Robert Horning 00:20, September 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I must say, you've done an amazing job. 11:51, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Using Cooking Guild Bank
Some anonymous user changed the information for the Air rune training to be from the West Varrock bank to the Cooking Guild bank.

Ignoring for the moment that you also have to complete all of the hard difficulty tasks for the Varrock Achievement Diary and be wearing the Varrock armor in order to use this bank, it is also a member-only feature. This is not a task that free players can do. Pay attention to what this is: a guide to F2P runecrafting. I don't mind changes to this page, but use some common sense and don't inject member content into this guide. --Robert Horning 16:29, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Similar layout as other guides?
I have seen several guides using a 1-to-99 page layout, dsecribing certain strategies for certain levels. Currently this guide looks more like a skill information/reference page. Would it be a good idea to change the page, so that it runs through strategies for various levels, instead of strategies and information for various runes? 77.168.157.177 03:45, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed with The poster above me. This page doesn't seem like it would be very helpful to people training rcing. ZamorakO o


 * Frankly I'd like to see the other skill guides to get rid of the 1 to 99 skill level step by step guide... as if you are a bunch of mindless robots that can't figure out how to get things done on your own.


 * One of the problems with Runecrafting is that you can gain a whole bunch of levels very quickly early on, but it is a tough grind later one to the point that the only thing you really end up doing is earning money instead of experience. While there are ways to increase rates of experience (the Runecrafting guild and Fist of Guthix mini-game) it really doesn't matter too much past level 20 what specific kind of runes you are crafting and what matters more is the experience rate or rate of income.


 * Read though this article in detail, open up some of the money earning tables to check out the various ways of crafting runes and to examine what the costs involved are for each method. Do that and you will understand F2P runecrafting far more than simply asking for a hand-holding step by step guide.


 * Understand that the Grand Exchange prices also fluctuate and change for the various runes, and that one method of crafting runes may be better one week and another one better the next week... at least for prices and being able to profitably do the runecrafting. As this guide is tied into the Grand Exchange Market Watch, the prices will adjust from week to week, and for those who are serious about crafting runes can judge for themselves what is a more effective way to craft runes based on their current skill level and for personal goals they have in mind with the skill.


 * I'm also curious about what specific kinds of complaints there are about this guide, other than perhaps for a player barely starting out with the skill for the first time. That, I would admit, could use a little more work. --Robert Horning 21:29, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Earth Runes explorers ring experiment?
How are they distinguishing between extra runes due to the explorer ring and the extra runes from the normal chance of extra runes (level based)?


 * One gives extra xp, one does not. The Lummy ring acts like an extra piece of essence, not just more runes.  This is more noticeable at high levels, as you'll see jumps of more runes when the ring triggers two or three times in an inventory.
