#Runescape runespan xp rates at 90 update

I did some research on nodes because I wanted to see what's best between double nodes and single nodes (eg what's best for points, bloody skulls, or blood pools?) I'll also mention that I've gotten 6 spin tickets in the past 1.1m~ exp.Įdit: I'll continue collecting data, probably until 99 runecrafting. I suppose due to the randomness and luck involved(with getting good nodes), I've been rather unlucky(or perhaps average) while others are getting a lot luckier than I am. I have no idea how people around my level are getting such high experience per hour rates. Unfortunately, the little bit of data I collected doing ONLY nodes is still the same experience/hour average. Profitable essence per hour means that every 5-6 hours of doing this, you could theoretically do an hour or two of node hunting. I was not actively node hunting, but this ended up being an overall more enjoyable experience. This data was collected while sitting at Soul Wraiths and looking at 2 adjacent islands for 'decent' nodes. There was/is about an average of 5-7k experience gain per hour for each level. I was level 90 when I started, and currently 92. I did count yellow wizards spawning ON my island as '0'. If he is judged to be 'too far away', I won't bother. If a blue wizard spawns on an island adjacent to me/On my island, I will find out where the Yellow Wizard is.

* = I only go for wizards when they're 'obvious'. I've been recording the past 13 hours of data:Īverage time to find a wizard. Since there's node chasing involved, it's unlikely to be all that consistent.ĮDIT: In a 4 hour sample, 95k/hr, while doing homework and stuff.

That said, I'll update this post with XP rates tonight when I time it. Also, because of the fact that this area is like a sixth of the total islands, it's not too rare that you'll see a wizard, in which case, if yellow, you can give him runes, or if blue, you can check if the yellow is nearby, pursuing if you want. You can pay more or less attention depending on personal preference. It's close to ivy's afk level - you can very easily do things that require lots of inputs (keyboard/mouse) while training, which is really really good.

I focus on nodes and generally have RS open in a small window while doing something else. There's basically always good nodes around there somewhere, there's not much travelling, and all of those island have at least one soul wraith in case bored. Personally my strategy has been to hang around mainly islands (referring to map above) 30,32,29 (32 being the double soul, 30 is directly east of it, 29 is directly NE of that) and sometimes 27, 25 (NW of 29 and N of that). Thanks a lot Mega - really nice to have data confirming that Runesphere is in fact not worth it, rather than the rumors that have been going around. It's possible that the runesphere is good xp at lower levels, but the accuracy data here can't be used for comparison as it is based off 97 runecraft. However, runesphere gives a lot of lower level runes (air-astral) and if you hunt the wizard or travel alot, the runes from the runesphere will save you time gathering runes from low level animals/nodes (this is probably the only use for 90+ rcers who find themselves needing more lower level runes often). Your average xp/hr drops further while looking for the runesphere/travelling to lower floors. When gathering dust, you can effectively add 10 xp to these values (but you will need to stay until the end or come back later you need to actually redeem the dust).Īs people have believed, runesphere isn't very efficient xp when compared to the xp rates obtained with the new node behavior, at least at 90+. Time per attempt: 2 game ticks (1.2 seconds)Īstral: 42-43 (uncertain about decimal, will use 42.5 for later calculations) Therefore, the accuracy rate for soul/blood will be slightly inaccurate, but it shouldn't matter too much given how little of your time will be spent in these phases. I was only able to find 1 runesphere at its soul phase. Did some accuracy research on runesphere, values were recorded at 97 RC over 3 runespheres.
