I've been working on getting a runecrafting level for the last week, Gez. It has to be the slowest skill to level. I even switched to using the Zimi alter instead of Law/Death/Nats & I still won't get a level till this afternoon. I'd like to see some runecrafting boosters. They already have the gloves of silence ( thieving ), Varrok achevement plate ( smithing/mining ), crystal saw ( construction ), Goldsmithing gauntlets ( smithing ), Lumberjack outfir ( woodcutting )not to mention all the potions & ales used to boost other skills. Why does runecrafting only have pouches to carry a few extra essence in when it's by far the SLOWEST skill to level? I'd also like to see a construction update. Things I'd like to see there. 1. More rooms available 2. A new armory where you could display/store & use your granite, dragon, barrows, fymerick helms, golden helmet & such without continually rebuilding the stands. 3. Items that could be built & used outside the POW. ( like a temporary bridge shortcut in the zimi alter or barriers like in castlewars ) What would you like to see updated?

Yep. It was easy at first but once the seals run out it slows to a crawl. If you stockpile seals though you can level it pretty quick when you finally do you back to it.

i have to agree with you, runecrafting really needs to be updated, apart from the abbys, cmi alter and a few new runes which can be crafted, there has been no serious update to it which brings in more xp. it has even become harder to lvl rc, with the 3-30k trade limit, its almost impossible to get people to run for you. the assist system hasn't really taken of with rc'ing. if there was a skill that would be my last one to get to 99. it would easily be rc'ing

I find it to be one of the slowest. Everything else seems to go much faster. I'd really like to see a Runecrafting xp booster like they did the lumberjack set. Making full elemental armor with the elemental tallie on it that gives extra xp when crafting would be cool.

sounds awesome, i think the only xp boosting thing added to runecrafting was the gloves from the fist of guthix mini game, but they only give double xp for the basic runes, which dont give much xp with the gloves on. i would really like to see something the the elemental outfit, it might make me rc'ing again.

Well hi, haven't seen you in a while. A spinning wheel & pottery wheel would be good additions to the workshop. Add a deposit box & where you can grow flax in your garden & you've really got a good use for the houses. Thats one of the reasons I have my house in Rellekea. All those things ( except the deposit box )are in the town right nearby.

I'd like to see high level armour come out, and runecrafting isnt going to update to make leveling faster. Unless they make a Runecrafting Mini-Game, oooo that would be fun!

There's an idea. A minigame for strictly mages where there's an essence bank you get essence from in your base, run it to the necessary shrines around the walls or the arena then use the runes you've made to blast your opponents. There's plenty of high level armors already. Barrows, Dragon, Bandos & Armandril. Those aren't really skills. Making higher level mage & range armors from crafting could be good.

Prayer is by far the hardest skill for me lol. It takes for ever to level up. And some of the new prayers are set like 2-3 levels apart so once you finally level up you just have to work hard to gain another and another useless prayer. The only reason to work on it is the protect from melee, range, and mage prayers.

Actually they did add the pyre ships at the ancient barbarian caverns , the Dorgesh kahn light orbs & the burning of vyrewatch . The light orbs aren't all that interesting, you just get lots of firemaking xp from them ( no profit ). The pyre ships are neat as you get crafting, firemaking & prayer xp plust the possiblity of the dragon full helm ( not a bad reward ). The vyrewatch is just another version of shadeburning. They could still come up with something else though. Maybe a way to use it in combat?! ( building a firewall to range/mage from behind )
