II. Alright you got your requirements now you are ready to set up your bank! Try having a tab in your bank for Runecrafting only. For this way you need to have at least 20 bank slots. Have your Pure essence on the far right (10th slot) have your Super energies to the left of it (9th slot) have your Ring of Duelings right below your Pure essence (20th slot) and have your Amulets of Glory to the left of them (19th slot).
Your bank should look like this:
XXXXXXXXSP
XXXXXXXXGD
S= Super energy potion
P= Pure essence
G= Amulet of Glories
D= Dueling Rings
X= Place holders
Woot! You have the requirements for everything and now you have your bank ready! Now it’s time to start? Oh wait…all you need now is your inventory! Here is how it should look if you have 75 Runecrafting:
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
GLMO
OOOO
O= Pure essence
G= Giant Pouch
L= Large Pouch
M= Medium Pouch
If you don’t have 75 Runecrafting this is how your inventory will look like:
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
LMSO
OOOO
L= Large Pouch
M= Medium Pouch
S= Small Pouch
The way the pouches are arranged makes it easier to unload the pure essence if you are not playing in Full Screen, but I however have this inventory and I always Rc in Full screen.
Withdrawing ess and filling your pouches can take up to 10 seconds, but if your good you can do it in about 3 seconds. :P
Have your withdraw X number as "10000000" so it's easier to withdraw.
Additional pouch formations see post 7.

III. It’s finally time to Start! Summon your Graahk pouch, click on it and you get these options *Chat‘ and ‘Teleport * don’t click ‘chat’, once you have teleported, ‘spam’ click on the Arrow which appears North-east on the mini-map, try clicking to as far North-east as you can.
After you have spam clicked, follow the path up North East, when you are near the border of Shilo Village start running North up the path until you are near you hit the Summoning Obelisk, once the Nature altar is insight click on it.
From the second you teleport,the run to the altar should take 27 seconds, *Note* this is NOT including crafting.
Once you are in the altar immediately click on the altar and craft your essence. Empty your 3 pouches from left to right.
Once your runes have been crafted teleport to the bank, deposit your natures fill your pouches and teleport with your Graahk.

IV. Tips on making more Natures an hour
Now I’m sure this is the part you have all been looking forward here are the ways you can cut a few seconds off per trip:
- Call your Graahk
If you are in a crowded world with more than one person Runecrafting via Graahk I’m sure you are tired of the Graahk piles. So press the ‘Call’ button right before you bank to get your Graahk either behind you or right next to you.
- Bring 3 Pouches
Runecrafting with 3 pouches is by far faster than bringing 4? Why? Because you spend less time banking and more time running and it adds up in the end.
- Dropping Vials
Once you have finished your Super Energy potion, drop the vial, instead of banking it, because you will spend more time banking.
-Not banking Nats?
I have tested this now, and it is faster using the bank all, but not banking nats reduces the amount of clicking.
-MouseKeys
If you have mouse keys enabled on your computer it makes it easier to empty your pouches, but if you are really fast at clicking and you are always precise you do not need them. I do well without them, and yes Jagex says they are legal.
-Ring of Duelings
Ring of Duelings are the best way to teleport after crafting your Natures, it has been tested numerous times and it always beats banking at Edgeville.
-Using Bank all
This way is proven to be faster, for this method you need a full bank, once you have teleported to Castle Wars click bank and press the button “Empty your backpack into your bank. It will bank your Nature runes, and thus saving you a Right click. You may think it wont matter but it is a lot easier.
If you need items to fill your bank try buying Afros, Summoning Scrolls, and potions of all doses.

Oh no! Your pouch has degraded what will you do? Nothing! Wait what? What do you mean nothing?!
-Repairing Pouch
Well, I say it is nice to always have a repaired pouch but repeatedly going to the Abyss in 1 Graahk pouch is a pain. So I suggest all of you to repair your Giant pouch when it can only store 7 pure essence in the pouch, that’s after it degrades two more times.
V. The Abyss
Carry either a Mithril Pickaxe or an Inferno Adze, if you don’t have the requirements for the Adze a Mithril Pickaxe will suffice. Why Mithril? Mithril is the lightest metal in Runescape.
If you chose not to bring any of the items aforementioned above, use the Agility (Squeeze though tunnel) or the Thieving (Distract eyes) ways to get to the Dark Mage.

VI. Computer Specs and Runecraft Speed
If you are trying to make 7k nats an hour and you're on a laggy computer chances are it wont happen, the more RAM your computer has the faster things run smoother. I have 4 Gigs of ram and everything runs fine. :)

VII.Additional Pouch Setup
**Note pouch formation is completly optional and it's the crafters choice**
There are many ways to fill your pouches, I have tested more different ways and the ways I use to make more Nature runes per hour is now this way:
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
MOOO
LGOO
OOOO
M= Medium
L= Large
G= Giant

With this formation you make less trips to the Dark Mage in the Abyss since you fill the Giant pouch last instead of clicking it first.
When you craft empty them in this order M, L, G.

Other ways:
MOOO
LOOO
GOOO
OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
This method also works if you follow the above directions, it the same speed as the one aforementioned above.

VIII.
Tips on making more Natures an hour Continued:
-Using the function keys
Pressing the hot keys F1 and F2 speed up the process a little bit and save *some* clicking.
This method goes great with the Calling your Graahk method.
***Note with the new Summoning update calling your Graahk is a little more challenging***
The second you craft your Natures, press F2, teleport to Castle Wars, Call your Graahk then press F1 and bank.
The F1 Function key is a shortcut to your Inventory and helps you when you bank. How does pressing F1 after I call my Graahk help? Well, it saves you that extra second or two, since after you bank your Natures and withdraw essence you will be in your Familiar tab.
Standard detail is the best mode to Runecraft in. Why is this? The reason for this is the short 'speed-boost' when entering the Nature Altar.
What do you mean by 'Speed-Boost'?
Well, when you enter the altar, quickly click on the floor of the Altar in the pathway where you craft. Make sure you click right infront of the pillars when you enter from the portal.
Most of the time I craft in Full screen, but Standard detail is if I wish to go a little faster. ;)
Collect Banker: (For people who Rc and bank at Edgeville)
This way is the fastest way to Graahk Rc banking at Edgeville.
Step one: Start by going to the G.e
Step two: Sell all of your Pure ess to the G.e in the far right slot at Max
Step three: CANCEL the offer but don't take the ess out
Step four: Rc normally, this time Collect banker and withdraw the essence in ITEMS not noted. :)

Additional Information:
Rest Update:
Ok, with the new rest update out you will not need a full Super Energy, in fact you only need a 2 dosed potion. If you cannot acquire a 2 dose potion I suggest to continue using the drop vials method.
The whole point of Graahk runecrafting is to make more Nature runes efficiently. If you wish to waste no time at all I highly suggest dropping your vials, even if there is one dose left.
However, more "less-serious" players will keep the additional super energy dose and bank it. Not only does this take more clicks it also messes up the flow you have going Rcing.
Summoning interface Update:
You can now make it easier to call your familiar by setting the left click option to 'Call'.
