The RuneCrafting Goal…

As I’ve mentioned before, this month’s Inter-Clan Skill Competition revolves around Thieving and RuneCrafting. Because I’d never dared to take another man’s possesions, it was time for me to get some RuneCrafting levels. Before the competition took off I’ve already managed to get 68 RC, so atleast I was able to craft my favourite kind of Rune; the Nature Rune. The rune is just great, it offers a decent bit of experience, cash and I got to enjoy the scenery while I spend the few seconds at the altar.

I’ve did some research when I started to RuneCraft, apparently I needed a whole 5K nature runes in order for me to gain just a measly level, I’d even need 9000 more for the next one. So my quest began. The bank… What did I need? Pouches? YES! What else? Pickaxe? Could work. Essence? Definatly. And ofcourse the trustworthy Amulet of Glory(4). And off I went, after a few runes my hitpoints were halved, but my run energy was restored to 100% as I finished banking. So I had to change my tactic. I needed some armor, black dragonhide perhaps? It’s lightweight, it blocks mage attacks (Revenants) and can handle a few melee attacks aswel. This really sped up the process, everything was running smoothly, the only problem was that I crafted 43 nature runes each run. Which in term gave me (43*9) 387 experience points for roughly two minutes of running.

My next idea was to go to the ZMI Altar. BAD IDEA! For me atleast, I only got random runes, probably just enough to cover my costs and I got like 15% more xp per run (I did use less essence) This wasn’t the method for me, I wanted good experience and good cash. So it was back to the drawingboard. In the meantime I went back to Abyssal RuneCrafting as it still was pretty decent and as of today I noticed something about the people around me. Alot of them used Familiars! And not just any familiar, the Abyssal Parasite And it was even within my levelrange. So I ventured to the Grand Exchange, bought like 5 of the buggers and off I went. It gave me access to an additional 7 nature runes each run if I didn’t forget to unload my Beast of Burden, but it’s definatly worth it.

So now I’m busy with crafting the last runes in order for me to reach 70 runecrafting, just 5000 nature runes away or 100 abyss runs So if you’d like to spot me, you can in world 121
