I don't want to criticise the update before it even comes out but soul runes have few uses currently. I don't see why anyone would bother RCing them unless soul runes suddenly rose in price dramatically*

Money: Natures
XP: Lavas
A mix of both: Astrals

Who would use a soul altar?

Levels need to be 93 and 95 or something... If it's going to be worth doing don't crash the prices of them.


Are you kidding me blood runes can be masisevly farmed by doing Ankous. Prices will not be effected at all.

You realize 77 RC and 90 RC are really high levels. RC is one of the slowest skills. 77 and 90 are on the guide when you level up. I think it's best to leave it be. Most people are still going to do nats for money.

Soul runes do have a use and did rocket 1month ago to 420+ each. But then then abyssal sire became dead content after weekend of release. So they are slowing going back down again

How lazy.

They shouldn't be located in a city, let alone the same city. They should both be placed somewhere that makes sense. Going to vote no because it doesn't make sense.

I'd suggest polling whether or not people want them in Zeah or the current map, but you guys are too busy rushing content along to be bothered.

According to prices at the time of posting
RC moneymaking:
54/59-82: Laws / 2x Cosmics, ~244/234 gp/essence
82-91: 2x Astral Runes, 286 gp/essence
91-99: 2x Nature Runes, 474 gp/essence

Proposed:
77: Blood Runes, 295 gp/essence
90: Soul Runes, 325 gp/essence

Assuming that each Blood / Soul Rune crafted will give more exp than the lower-level ones, this means crafting them has to take longer to offset the otherwise increasing XP rate, since you said this wouldn't be better XP/hour. As such, double Astrals are likely to be better profit over time than Bloods (making the latter useful only at lvls 77-81), and Soul Runes may only be viable for 1 level (90).

Unless you were referring to the XP rate of Lava Runes (expensive, fastest XP/hour method) when you said Bloods/Souls wouldn't constitute a new fastest method, then I don't see what purpose this update will have. Other runes will already provide better profit/hour, so if you take the XP away too, it's going to be niche, if not dead content as soon as it comes out.

I think most of us here want to finally see a Soul (and Blood) altar, but it's going to do little more than warm our hearts simply because we know they exist, if there's no incentive to do Runecrafting there. Do it right from the get-go.
