Yes! This will definitely get me doing Runecrafting! I have almost 2k total level , and my runecrafting is only 44. I just feel like runecrafting is way to boring , and there's not enough variety... This is my only chance at getting 99 rc , if this doesn't come out say goodbye to my chances at 99rc.

This will definitely help those low level Rcers , as getting 1-70 is probably the hardest thing about rcing.

To the people who say we need different methods and no one trains runecrafting for "fun", no one is forcing you to train it, but just because you don't like how it is now doesn't mean it should be devalued for the people who do. Just because you're too lazy to train it or "don't have enough time" doesn't mean it needs to be easier, its not for everyone clearly, and it doesn't have to be, just like how pking is not for everyone. @Jagex, I watched the qna you posted on youtube today from runefest and you said that you would no longer be trying to make pvp updates to make more people start pking, but to cater to the people that already do, shouldn't that apply to all aspects of the game? And I'm sure that 90% of the people who "have lives or not enough time" spend a good 80% of their playtime just sitting at the GE chatting.
E; @Jagex, you've also said that you guys don't want to copy/paste content that was/is in rs2/3 It seems that you have forgotten that with quite a few updates that are coming out now, the imbued heart for example is a better version of the vecna skull and superior slayer encounters are an rs3 thing with the adamant/rune dragons iirc.

You don't think the fact that Runecrafting is such a slow 99 and therefore something a lot of people find too daunting to go makes it a hard 99? If so what do you think actually makes a skill hard?

Also there's plenty of viable non- cb money making skills left. People can make plenty of bank with the likes of Hunter, Smithing and Farming. You can pretty much make profit doing almost any skill on OSRS other than a few buyables.


Ironic isn't it. Those skills you mentioned. Gold ore at BF is one of the better methods of training it but you make losses. Yet there's slower methods that make you money. Farming the fastest way is to do trees which make you a loss but a slower method of herbs which make you millions long term.

Runecrafting has the slow methods of double astrals/nats and the faster but costly lava rune method which is faster. If Jagex balance this right (i.e. 1.5x XP rather than 2x) this will fit perfectly in between the 2 where you don't make as much money as astrals/natures but get less XP than lavas.

People who do astrals/natures over ZMI will still make far more in the long run, assuming they don't mess up the balancing of "extra runes".

Edit: As for what makes a skill "hard"? Nothing, no skill in this game requires you to have good reactions/skills to be able to get 99 eventually. All you need is some free time and you can get any 99 in this game.

The important thing to note here is that these xp rates are totally wrong. Phoenix Odin got 60k/hr back in the day of when lurkers only held 7 ess and osrs players will bank faster so it will be basically the same. Anyone who does serious rc uses mousekeys or ahk, and it will be easily 60k/hr if rates aren't changed from original zmi code.

I think we should also keep in mind that when Phoenix Odin was doing this there was no pouch delay when emptying pouches (same mechanic as Lava Runecrafting). Pouch emptying delay makes a huge difference in runs.

Okay.... 1-70 is the hardest part of runecrafting....okay, try getting 99 ohh wait you won't cause you want to wait for easy scape to be introduced. Well I say bullshit, this game needs integrity

I could care less about "easy scape" reasoning. They could wait for me to get 99 runecrafting and release it the week after and it wouldn't change my opinion on it. My plan was to do double astrals/natures anyway for maximum GP made anyway since ZMI didn't compare to it.

If you guys think the xp/hr of a skill is what makes it hard then lol. You seemed to have overlooked the millions you've made off it so quickly.

Coming from someone with 92 Runecrafting this is a great update.
Some of the reasons why this should be added:

-They already have it mostly complete in the archive. (nearly no time spent on developing).
- There is pouch emptying delay so people won't be getting 60k xp/hr like everyone is assuming. the speed of runs will be drastically slower with the pouch emptying delay.
- We have bank fillers so everyone will be able to do this without the tediousness of buying hundreds of items to fill up our banks like how it was in 2007. So this gives players the option to leave and train other skills.
- adds content for low level and high level players.
- Having a world dedicated to this would be nice, i absolutely loved community skill training.(wintertodt dedicated world was great!)

Nty.. Runecrafting like fletching and smithing has no real use to anyone unless they are an ironman. I will just buy or farm my runes from monsters like I did post rune-span and every other RC update .

( The only reason I have xp in smithing is for f2p money making in case I can't pay for membership for a while and the only reason I have xp in fletching is to unlock the mage bow in case I get hacked , which hasn't been a concern since bonds released .)
