86 rc here havent trained rc since karamja elite, these altars could incentivize me to train rc more but unfortunately voting no at this point in time, it appears they're being intentionally ambiguous about the exp rates anything over 30k would be chitty.

Will be voting no for this because I'd love for the runecrafting altars to stay in line with all the previous ones and also remain situated on the current continent and continue to be part of the legacy that the barbarians destroyed them in an earlier age to oppose their Lunar brethren.

I'd still like the Blood Rune altar to be accessible via Meiyerditch, going through the underground lab discovered during Darkness of Hallowvale.

You could allow us to use construction to break through the door, much like in RS3, however just make it a long winding route directly to the altar without the mutated bloodvelds/crawling hands. With a shortcut from Canifis unlocked with the elite Morytanian diary.


I'd love for the Soul altar to come alongside Menaphos, but if you are insistent on it being released sooner rather than later, then why not add it fairly close by? - the lower dungeon underneath Sophanem and the locust creatures (requiring Contact!) It's a pretty brutal spot, you could also add a safer, but far, far longer route.

You could stick some sort of mining/construction requirement on it to allow access to the area.

If you want to add them to the Abyss as well, perhaps add some sort of unlock/miniquest requirement in order to allow their usage?

I don't think getting 1 exp more from a Soul rune compared to a Death rune is too unfair and overpowered Runecrafting exp, it's about time the skill got completed and can then focus on expanding it further in the future.

For this 'Dark Altar' mechanic, why not use it as a means to empower Pure Essence so that when crafting Blood and Soul runes, we have a chance to create x2? The chance to create them could be based on your runecrafting level (so bloods would be more likely to craft at 99, runecrafting, but soul's would still be somewhat difficult). But the essence has a chance of being destroyed by the Altar and offer less exp?

Also, Omni-Tally/Tiara please??

I appreciate you don't want to devalue current training methods, but a lvl 90 method having the same xp rate as a lvl 60 method (for example) is kinda weird in my opinion.

edit: unless you sacrifice profit for better xp of course****. a profitable trainingmethod at lvl 90 should be faster xp than a profitable trainingmethod at lvl 60 but doesn't have to be faster than a nonprofitable (or even expensive) trainingmethod at lvl 55.

Ill vote yes. However, why do we need to enchant the essence before we can craft blood and soul runes?

Also, not sure why everyone using "Its going to give more XP thus making this a BAD UPDATE!!" Soul runes will give 11XP per rune, and with abyss, at best can make 1500-1800 runes per hour. That's 19.8K XP per hour in a best case scenario.

Not sure why some of you are so **** about XP rates, they're going to increase in a minuscule amount when compared to death runes. Lava runes will still be king in XP rates.

This also would be a great update for iron man, as they can finally make their own runes.

Get informed before mumbling nonsense.

Exactly. Blood and soul rune crafting should of been in the game long time ago.
They wont even scratch the surface in relation to XP rates compared to lava runes.
