Runecrafting

I've been thinking of getting all skills to 70 +, and runecrafting is one that is below. It is currently level 64. What is the best way to train for both money and xp? Which one should I do - Abyss or ZMI altar?

I'm not a member, but I here ZMI altar is pretty good. I'd lean toward ZMI altar. Hope that helps. #-o

zmi is faster but less money and also you will have to do lunar diplomacy
and the abyss is slower but more money
but i would use the spirit graahk way
this way is faster than the abyss and more money than zmi

Spoiler for spirit graahk method:

Well if you are thinking about getting money do Abyss. You make like 3-4m from 70-91 runecrafting. and that is nothing compared to the cash you would make using the abyss. You could also save up tabs from the GOP and then use those like Xbladez.

But to answer you question, I'd say use the Abyss

Thanks, I'll probably do the Grrahk way then, sounds like a pretty good method! Ill add that to my vote too. How much xp can you get using that way?

Honestly, I did the ghraak method, and I didn't find it faster at all than the abyss. I'm a firm believer in the abyss.

Oh really? #-o

Well I believe it does save some time since you have to change glory every 4 runs and dueling ring is 8. Also you don't need black d'hide armour or pickaxe that reduces weight. I don't know, can anyone else check it?

if you have the summoning level, do graahking. it's more fun, and faster money/exp rates.
if you don't have the summoning level (57 i believe), then do the abyss for money and OK exp. do zmi for very fast exp but little money.

zmi if you dont care about profits and just want the xp.

abyss is slightly slower than the graahks but only slightly, and if you cant double nats it's really not worth buying the graahk pouches.

the other choice would be tablets which are a bit faster than even graahks but you lose the time it takes of playing the minigame for alot of them. however any rune crafted in the minigame itself is double xp just like zmi but without the randomness or lack of multiple runes per ess.

What are the uses of the tablets? You exchange them at runecrafting guild for the tokens right? If so, how many?

I don't think I would use the Grahhk way as I would need many pouches, costing a lot. Might just simply abyss or ZMI it.

tablets are just like the teleport tablets you make at houses but to each of the various rc altars, they teleport you to just outside the exterior altar so you still need the talisman / staff / tiara to get in.

Owen1892 · **Posted:** March 14th, 2009, 8:52 pm

Oh thats pretty cool, but I won't be making much money if I buy the tablets alone. So I'll probably still ZMI or abyss it then.

I have another option for you.
Get nature tabs from the GoP and then, while using a familiar that holds essence teleport to the alter, craft the natures teleport (with a glory/ring of dueling) to a bank and then repeat.
The method is the fastest. It's like the graak method but without the running and you can carry more essence due to the familiar that holds it.

I got to 72 via abyss which I liked than went to ZMI till now which is 91.
That I what I suggest but it is all your opinion
