1750 total down, definitely stopping at 50RC for now.
Will be sticking to ZMI for RuneCrafting. The Xp/Hour with the time to acquire Pure Essence factored in, is about the same as Lavas. And ontop of that, you get a fuckload of usable runes. Tons of Cosmics, Natures, Chaos, Astrals, etc.
Assuming TT is ~3K Essence/hour
ZMI is ~30K/h VS Lavas being ~42K/h at this level. Approx. 13 Xp/Essence, so
30K XP @ ZMI = 1 Hour of RC + 46 minutes of TT - 1h46m
30K XP @ Lava = 43 Minutes of RC + 57 minutes of TT 1h40m (Plus time to craft, enchant duelling rings, binding necklaces)
Even if TT is as high as 5K essence/hour, Lava's would still only be ~13% more efficient overall. I just can't see it being worth giving up the runes you get.
Debating grabbing 71 Thieving real fast, then going to PP for a bit. Looking to grab a Sceptre to crank out an ancient altar but dunno. Would be nice as fuck for Slayer though.
