This video is a 1-99 F2P Runecrafting Guide. It is part of my OSRS F2P skill guides video series and is a quick and easy to follow guide to get you skilling and levelling Runecrafting effectively in OSRS F2P.
The guide is Ironman friendly, with specific Ironman hints, tips and advice. Those who can utilise the GE, will definitely have an easier and cheaper experience. This guide starts with a run through of any useful Quests, which in F2P is only Rune Mysteries, and the optional X Marks the Spot.
My OSRS F2P Runecrafting Guide consists of two main methods of training. The first, is the manual or ironman friendly (Not UIM) method, that can be undertaken by any account. This is based around firstly, the best spot to mine Rune Essence, and then moves on to levelling Runecrafting using Air, Earth and finally Body Runes.
The second is by far the fastest method, but utilises the GE so cannot be done by ironmen. Buying Tiaras and Body Talismans is the fastest way to level Runecrafting in F2P, but it is also expensive and will cost you up 3-500+ million coins. Earth Talismans offer an alternative method, which is cheaper, but still effective!
This is one of my OSRS F2P Skill Guides, I’m currently working on an entire series to cover levelling/skilling all of the F2P skills. For any hardcore F2P skillers out there, I would love to get your feedback and any F2P skilling tips you have so that I can include the best possible content in my videos!
REQUIRMENTS 🔒:
Method Dependant: 23 Crafting to make Tiaras (plus 20 Mining & 20 Smithing). Optional: 40 Mining if you want the fastest mining rate. 37 Magic for access to teleports. The basic GE method has no skill requirements.
ITEMS 🧳:
Method Dependant: A Pickaxe, 3 Tiaras, Air Talisman, Earth Talisman & a Body Talisman Manual/Ironman friendly method. The GE method only requires coins. Optional: Tele Runes (Varrock & Falador), Energy Potions & the Skull Sceptre.

Re: Rune and Pure Essence. Pure Essence typically is cheaper on the GE, so if you're not an Ironman, it's usually worth taking any Rune Essence you mine, selling it on the GE, and then using that money to buy a larger amount of Pure Essence. More essence, but same value, so it doesn't cost a thing!

For Ironmen, it's important to not do Rune Mysteries and collect as many Air Talismans as you can from the Duke with the drop trick, because EHP wise between mining pure essence and all the other methods, the fastest way to 99RC is still through Air tiaras, so if you wanna be efficient doing Rune Mysteries right away locks you out of best method to 99. Also important is to bring along Tiaras + Air Talismans on your way back from the bank to the crafting guild, most of the 99 Runecrafting grind can be efficiently halved by using the walks from the Falador Bank to the Crafting Guild to mine Silver Ore as double to stop by the Air altar and making a bag of Air Tiaras (and dropping them afterwards). This can be easily maintained, because you bring 14 Tiaras, but on your way back you bring 28 Silver Ore ready to be turned into Tiaras. So for as long as you get yourself a stock of 1000 Tiaras or something, you will effectively get 2k Silver Ore back, ready to be turned into 2k Tiaras, and it doubles every time you run out of Tiaras. I am saying this with already 99 Ranged and 90atk/str/def on my F2P IM, and the biggest regret I have is learning about Air Talismans after I was 1200hours into my F2P IM with Dragon Slayer already finished. With that said, I already have roughly 1mil exp collected in Body Cores and Rune Essence combined. It's quite annoying, there's no going back, but at least I can treat it as a long term project, rather than key smashing my way to 99 RC. Also it's not that bad, since taking a different route to 99 RC means my Crafting grind gets slightly sped up through gems and jewelry rather than Tiaras. Thankfully it's not a double punishment.

good tip: when u do rune mysteries u can drop the air talisman and ask the duke for another because you ''lost it'' :D i did this on my alt and got 14 talismans. then mined essence till i had enough mining for silver. got the mould in alkaharid. made the 14 tiara. went back to lumbridge. talked to count and headed to falador. made 14 air tiara and was like lvl 5 instantly. also made a few air runes.

I see an opportunity to mix crafting and smithing in by crafting the silver tiaras yourself. 20 mining, 20 smithing, and 23 crafting aren't very high requirements, and you could subsidize a lot of the costs that way while gaining XP in those skills. I'm not sure if it's worth the time, but hey. If you want XP in those other skills it might be worth dabbling in. Edit: I just ran some math, and you can hit 99 crafting off of two thirds of the tiaras necessary for the fast GE XP method. Insane isn't it. A bit more math crunching and making the 347,585 tiaras needed would take just over 15 days worth of buying silver ores and bars off the GE and cost and could save you around 24.3m depending on market prices. Hell, I might do it just do the tiara crafting to make a tidy profit of around 80 coins per ore and 40 coins per bar on my way to 99 crafting. I'm sure there are better or faster ways to do it, but hey. Fun idea isn't it?

@TheLumbridgeKnight 8 күн бұрын

Yo millenium1109! Yeah that could be a good method, I think buying the silver from the GE would be the way to go for sure as mining all the silver yourself will take a very long time! Plus making all those Tiaras sets you up for Runecrafting! I think most of my guides I’ve tried to find the most efficient path for that particular skill, the flaw in this logic is that I don’t always take account of the overall XP, like if you’re doing a couple of skills at the same time you might be able to generate a high overall combined XP or like you say prep for training another skill with what you are making for one. I think what you’re suggesting makes sense 👌 hopefully it works out for your skilling! Thanks again for the comment 😁😁👍👍

@@TheLumbridgeKnight Yea, one of the things I love about OSRS is how all the skills link together, and how the pursuit of maxing out one skill can benefit from other skills or advance secondary skills. I actually started Runecrafting a bit, boosting my start with the 300 XP lamp from X marks the Spot and then dumping my mind cores from the Mind Golems in the Ruins of Camdozaal. The ruins have a bank that made crafting the mind runes very fast, and it got me to level 17 very quickly. I plan on farming more Mind Cores to hit 20 RC before hitting up the Body Golems for their cores and gems. A great secondary benefit of farming the golems is the uncut gem and iron ore drops that you get while farming their cores. It's great combat XP and can lead into great Crafting and Runecrafting XP. The golems also drop a lot of beginner clues, which might get you something good along the way and encourages you to take breaks during the grind, which can be good for your sanity XD Edit: I checked the map and the body altar is decently close to the Ruins, so I might see whether it's faster to run from there or Varrok's West Bank.

If you're not a UIM I recommend doing minataurs for ess and bone fragments, instead of mining it. Also if you want to do rc/smith/mining/craft together don't complete rune mysteries, you're going to want to do suicide air tiaras.

I think Irons more fun tbh, but depends on your playstyle, some UIM methods are really enjoyable, but the toughest part about it is pathing, and patience because you don't want to waste your inv space holding random things, so sometimes starting a grind means committing to it for a while, as well as committing to about grind after to use up your supplies. Then you also have things like ROF where everytime you get a ruby you kind of need to go to iron to use up the charges. @@TheLumbridgeKnight

You can also kill Mind/Body Golems for the cores. The main thing is this is a passive RC gain, as your primary focus is melee exp. Getting 99 melees at body golems will give you enough to roughly reach 80-82 runecrafting. or around 2m+ exp.

If you don't complete Rune Mysteries, you can get an infinite amount of Air Talismans from the Duke. If you're making tiaras, this is a good way to spend your tiaras on RC exp. I wish I knew this when I made my Ironman. Selling 13k Tiaras in the wildy was a horrible experience.

@The Lumbridge Knight exactly, there's like no reason to play F2P unless your Mems just ran out and you want to soft grind for a bit. But to F2P lock your account is just excruciating. They could atleast bring back the 2009 Runecrafting Guild... or something new. Or make RC mems only and just give F2P Thieve, Fletch, and w.e new skill they're making. RC is only profitable and truly worth leveling in P2P. I'll just never understand, I can use runes that I can't even make..like why. And F2P should get green dragons..only getting Elvarg is just sad, and no dhide drop, but the best f2p range is green dhide.. it just doesn't make sense in 2023.

Like adding a few more crossbows, some more magic gear, a few more quests and bosses maybe even a skill - fletching maybe 🤔 dunno they would also need to get whey more proactive at shutting down bots still seems to be a fair few ppl doing it 🤷🏻‍♂️
