Is Runecrafting worth it?

Is Runecrafting worth it? I mean it's slow, but I know in the end you make a lot of money. But how should I train it? Buy the essence? Mine it myself?

Runecrafting is definitely worth it once you get up to 91 because you can make about 1 mil an hour with making nature runes.

If you can profit off of buying the essence, always do that because mining is slow. But if you are making a rune that you won't make money off of, then just mine it yourself.

Okay, I'll just mine 2k pure essence for the moment.

Sounds like a good plan. Make sure you get the pouches from the abyss to make sure you are being as efficient as possible. What rune do you plan on making?

Like power crazy said, it's worth it if you can turn a profit. If you are doing air runs, after level 33 (4x) you can profit off of it. If you are a member, you have more possibilities, but even in f2p you can turn a pretty good profit if you know how to.

Edit: If you were doing it at this point and doing air rune runs, I would buy the rune essense. It will be a small profit, but you can buy the ess and not lose money. Mining takes time, but at your runecrafting level I'd start buying ess and runecrafting.

Runecrafting is slow work but if you set small goals and work towards them you'll eventually get to the big goal.

Okay, sounds good, but how do I get the pouches?

You can buy them in the Guild when you get 50 Runecrafting but before that,kill the monsters in the abyss,

Oh, and another question: What level should I stop running air runes?

Earth · **Posted:** June 11th, 2009, 7:25 am

I'd say when you can do natures/laws,but I'm probably wrong

Stingman96 · **Posted:** June 11th, 2009, 7:30 am

That's what I was thinking. I would do natures for a while, and then laws, and then I don't know after that. I guess it's time for me to look for some RuneCrafting guides.

Yes runecrafting is worth it.

350k Profit at 65
400k profit at 75
475k profit at 82
Borderline 1m profit at 91

Each per hour.

Run airs till level 27 then do cosmic runes through the abyss.
Cosmics will last you till 44 (or 40 if you can do astrals).
If you really care about the long term:
Graahk to 65
Deaths to 75, ZMI to 91, Graahk 2x nats to 99
OR if you want more money:
Deaths to 77, Bloods to 82, Astrals to 91, etc.

With what runes is the profit with, I know 1m+ at 91 is nats, but what about the other runes? Are they the ones you just stated. Nats to 65, deaths to 75, and bloods to 82? Also, rc is totally worth it as stated by above ^^
