3.0 - Crafting Runes Through the Abyss
What I talk about in this part of my guide will mainly have to do with crafting nature runes through the abyss, although most of the stuff I say applies while crafting other runes through the abyss.

WARNING: As soon as you are teleported into the abyss your prayer is automatically set to 0. Don’t bring anything valuable because you won’t be able to protect it when you get pked!

First off to get access to the abyss you must do a favour for the zammy mage that is located in level 5 north of edgeville. After completing the mini quest you are granted access to the abyss. After talking to the zammy mage he will tell you to meet him at the chaos alter which is located south of the varrock east bank. He will ask you to do him a favour. He will give you a scrying orb and tell you that you are to teleport to the rune essence mine from 3 different locations. (the mage south of the varrock est bank where you buy runes, the mage in the mage guild, etc.) After completing his task go back to him and give him the orb. He will give you a bit of runecrafting xp, a book about the abyss, and a small pouch for completing his task. Most importantly you will now be able to enter the abyss through the zammy mage in level 5 wild just north of edgeville.

How to get the pouches:

The monsters inside the abyss drop pouches. You will need to kill many of them to get the pouches. If your rich just use a cannon. If your not rich bring a good wep, armour, potions, food, and a charged glory amulet to get back to edgeville. The pouches may take awhile to get but don’t give up. As soon as you get one, the monsters seem to drop the others fairly quickly. YOU CAN ONLY GET ONE OF EACH POUCH!

Hint:

ONLY attack the low level monsters, you will get pouches faster this way. The higher level monsters don’t mean they drop pouches more often.

Level needed to use pouches:

Giant pouch: 75
Large pouch: 50
Medium pouch: 25
Small pouch: 1

What your inventory should look like:

Energy potion (4): To give you energy for faster nature rune crafting.
Pouches: To hold more pure essence.

You can also bring a teleport tablet or ectophial which is a good idea, but for some reason I choose not to.

What you should be wearing:

Black dragon hide: Good protection from the mage pkers that try to kill you.
Glory amulet: To teleport back to edgeville.
Ring of dueling: Just incase you forget to bring a glory amulet you can rub this ring and bank at the castle war bank. It saves alot of time unless you want to walk all the way to shilo village.
Bronze pickaxe: To mine the rock to get into the middle of the abyss. DON’T use a rune pickaxe because it dousn’t make a different when trying to mine the rock to get into the abyss. Using a rune pickaxe is just one more good item the pker will get when he trys to kill you.
Cape: I suggest wearing a god cape or a legends cape for defence. I didn’t have either of them so I just put on a team cape.

Where you should put your essence in your bank:

Trick: Always have the stuff you need to use to runecraft at the bottom row of your bank. This way you can right click left click right away and it will click withdraw all fast. You have to try it to see what I mean, its just one of those tricks that speed things up.

The abyss is a circle. Inside the circle is where all the teleports to all the altars are. To get inside to that place you will need to

1) Mine the rock.
OR
2) Squeeze through the tunnel.

There are many more ways to get into the middle of the abyss but these two seem to be the most popular ways. When crafting nature runes always run towards the north west part of the abyss because that’s where the nature altar teleport is.

Once inside the nature altar craft the first load of essence you already have in your inventory. Once that essence is crafted do this trick to empty your pouches faster:

For this trick you have to put all your pouches the way I show them in my inventory picture. As soon as I right click my giant pouch and press empty, my curser is now already over my large pouch so I empty it too. In total I craft 3 different loads at the alter each time.

First load: The essence in my inventory in the start.
Second load: The essence from my giant and large pouch.
Third load: The essence from my medium and small pouch.

Once all of your essence in your pouches is crafted take off your glory amulet and teleport back to edgeville to bank your brand new nature runes and take out more essence/glory amulet/energy potions. Fill up all of your pouches again and you are ready for another run!

What to do if your pouch brakes:

If you see your pouch is a black colour that means your pouch is now broken. Don’t worry, it’s easy to fix. Talk to the dark mage in the middle of the abyss to repair. Keep clicking the bottom option every single time you talk to him and you will get your pouch repaired.

Running with energy pots:

I usually run nature runes with energy pots because it speeds things up a lot. One energy pot usually lasts one run, but I guess it really depends on your agility level. 1 sip = 10 energy back so if you bring a 4 dose energy potion that will give you 40 energy back.

IMPORTANT! Pouch dropping:

As soon as you get entangled or frozen from a pker drop your pouches as fast as you can. They will kill you 50% of the time. After you drop your pouches just let the pker kill you. Trust me, losing a glory amulet is alot better than losing your pouches since they take forever to get. As soon as you die run to the nearest bank and teleport to edge as fast as you can. Run back out to the wild where you dropped your pouches and pick them back up. Usually the pker who killed you is gone by then.

Recharging your glory amulets:

The first thing I do when I find myself with no more glory amulets to use I grab a burthope necklace out of my bank and fill the rest of my inventory up with glory amulets. (You can wield one uncharged glory amulet as well don’t forget.) You should have 28 glory amulets ready to be charged with you now. (27 in your inventory and 1 wielded.) Teleport to the burthope games room and proceed up the staircase and head towards the heroes guild to charge your glories. Once at the fountain, charge all of your glory amulets. Don’t forget the uncharged glory amulet you have wielded. Wield one of the glory amulets that you already charged and charge it too. Teleport back to edgeville and get on with the nature rune crafting.

4.0 - Hiring Runners

If you aren’t 91+ runecrafting hiring runners will be very expensive. Once you are 91+ runecrafting you can make fast and free xp, or you can make a little profit too. To start head to the nature alter with 25 pure essence in your inventory. Craft them so you will now have 50 nature runes assuming you have 91 runecrafting. Make a topic on the official runescape forum under “runes” with the title “HIRING ALL RUNNERS DOUBLE NATS!” Something along that title would do. The more catchy the title is the more runners you will attract. Make a few rules on your topic like:

1. Only trade me 25 essence at a time. (This makes sure things run fast because if someone wants to offer you something like 16 you will have to take the time to right click the nature runes and press “trade x” and type in 32. Its a lot easier to just tell them to trade you no more, no less than 25 so you can right click and trade all 50 of your nature runes every single trade.

2. Get your runners to make a lineup going a certain direction from you.

If you want to make a little profit from hiring runners there will still be a lot of people willing to run for 40-49 nature runes per 25 essence too. The trades will take awhile longer because you won’t be able to select trade all since the number of nature runes in your inventory will be gradually growing since you are making a little profit each trade.

Remember, if the runners get annoying you can always put public chat to friends or off.

5.0 - Different Runecrafting Companys
Runecrafting companies are used by many runecrafters who want to get a high runecrafting level like 75 or 91. I got to 91 runecrafting from a fast free law company (world 66), I got around 30-40k runecrafting xp an hour there. There are three well known runecrafting companies for both members and non members to raise their runecrafting level up fairly quickly.

For members:

Go on the official runescape forum and search “FAST LAWS INC of 99″. The topic usually has 100+ pages unless the topic is just being started because it was lost. This is a company that provides anyone that can craft law runes free xp. There are a bunch of runners that are waiting outside of the alter that will trade you 27 unnoted pure essence for 27 law runes. For more information view the “FAST LAWS INC of 99″ thread on the official runescape forum. There are many pages with lots of info about the company.

For richer people who plan on getting 91 runecrafting I advise using this company instead. Search “THE LAW COMPANY WORLD 66″ on the official runescape forum. The down side of this company is that you have to give the runners 27 noted pure essence + 27 law runes for 27 unnoted pure essence outside of the alter. This company is similar to the world 99 law company but the xp is A LOT FASTER since there are a lot more runners in this world. Once again I suggest any richer plays to use this company if you plan on getting 75-91 runecrafting.

For non members:

The world 16 air rune company on non members is a bit different. The runners come inside the altar and trade you. In return you either give them cash or air runes.

6.0 - Is it Worth it?
Runecrafting is no doubt the best money making skill in runescape once you reach a high runecrafting level. Here’s some statistics:

-At 91 runecrafting you can make 1000k+ an hour.
-At 75 runecrafting you can make 500k+ an hour.

Runecrafting isn’t all that hard to train either, and once you get it up in the 70s you can make a lot of money!
