Use one cosmic rune per essence below 59 and two at 59 or above.

2
Fill every pouch

Load pure essence at Edgeville or the selected house route.

3
Travel through Zanaris

Use the fairy ring and the Agility shortcuts your level allows.

4
Craft and return

Craft all essence, teleport to the bank and repair pouches on schedule.

XP vs profit

What changes the tradeoff

About 21K Runecraft XP/hr at 2,640 essence

Each essence gives 8 Runecrafting XP. Level 59 doubles rune output but not XP, while 85 Runecrafting provides the colossal pouch used by the faster route.
