Expanding rune pouch
When runecrafting past lvl 75 with all 4 pouches you have a total of 54 rune essence to craft with. However, instead of gaining xp in two transactions, you have to empty your 4th pouch after the second transaction which makes it so you're standing at the altar for a longer period of time.
I would like to suggest one expanding rune pouch instead of four separate pouches. For example, it would initially be named small pouch and hold 3 essence, then when you reach the appropriate level that pouch grows in size and holds 9 essence instead of having a 3 and 6 pouch. Eventually it would grow into the giant pouch and cap at holding 27 essence (instead of 30, but mathematically you get the same amount of ess per trip which is 54). However, you only have to empty one pouch giving you the same amount of essence as all 4. This speeds up runecrafting and makes it slightly less click intensive, but I don't think it would impact the overall xp/hr very significantly. The skill would remain grindy and difficult to train like it always has, but it would just add a little more quality of life.
