Why RuneScape Ran Out Of Runes

Ойындар

Runes used to be some of RuneScape’s rarest items. Impossible to come across but ridiculously powerful. This is the story of how Jagex solved the rune shortage by creating the game's most hated skill, Runecrafting.

    Lore-wise, the introduction of Runecrafting coincided with the "rebuilding" of the wizards tower, which was burnt down in the beginning of the fifth age by Zamorakian mages who weren't allowed full access to the tower's secrets and runes. After burning down the tower, those Zamorakians struck off on their own to study runes, which resulted in the Zamorakian Magical Institute (ZMI). The ZMI then went on to discover and repurpose the Ourania altar, which was originally a perfect RC altar that could craft any rune at will. They're also responsible for the (accidental) discovery of The Abyss and the resulting rifts that formed. But if you wanna place the blame for rune scarcity on anybody, it's the bickering wizards at the tower.

It's why the altars on our world, besides Astral, are mysterious ruins and the runecraft skill was lost in the fourth age. Moonclan and fremmenik still aren't too pleased with eachother.

    I remember the pure essence update. I got really lucky with it. I was going for base 80s at the time and runecrafting was my only skill left. Literally the day before the update, without any knowledge of the pending update, I bought a massive supply of rune essence for like 3gp each. I woke up the next day and read the update and saw that all my essence had been converted into pure essence. I didn’t think anything of it at first since essence had been so cheap, but then I found out the pure essence was selling for 200gp each. I considered selling my supply for a massive profit, but ultimately decided to stick with my goal. I was just thankful that I didn’t wait until the morning to buy the essence, because I definitely wouldn’t have been able to afford it… lol.

    When runecrafting was super new, I was still eating kids meals from McDonald’s and let me tell you, I had a friend from school walk to me through how to get rune essence, and then walked me to the falador spot and showed me all these kids running in and out in a line. Turns out there was people who would trade your essence inventory for 2k gp . The richest people in the entire GAME were doing this, and there was far more snot nosed kids like me doing this strategy of trading them the inventory than they could handle 😅 good old days

    The conditions needed for blood runes to reach that price in this day and age would be impossible. So much content would need to be removed for that to happen and almost none of it would even be RC related. If we go by osrs standards, then bloods steadied out to like 400-500 gp each for the longest time, and that was long before blood RCing was ever introduced to the game. Just the sheer content introduced to the game (new monsters to pvm, new shops across the map after the introduction of new quests) brought in enough blood runes to plummet the price to relatively reasonable levels.

    I still stand by that the skill's name is supposed to be "Runecrafting". Back in Classic and early RS2, there were more character limits. For example, Woodcutting was "Woodcut" in the skill menu but it was still recognized as "Woodcutting". Since Runecrafting was developed during this transition period, it may have been given the shorter name to go with the Classic style but since it was being made for RS2 and not Classic it didn't get fixed when porting like the others. Also, I believe the same Dev who made the skill made the expansion with Combo Runes and in the skill guide for combo runes, its uses "Runecrafting". Other parts of the skills, like the skillcape/hood were called Runecrafting, but the OSRS Team changed them to Runecraft. They really should just update it to Runecrafting since it is pretty clear that is what was intended.

    When I was 8 I started playing RSC, main thing I did was kill dark wizards in Falador wildy for nats. Soon after, my dad and brother started playing too. They would take my small idea of selling nats and make a lot of money with it, instead of killing wizards, they started merching - buying nats cheap, selling for a lot more on F2P worlds. For what felt like a long time, we had such a monopoly over nature runes, we had so many people private messaging about selling their nats, or others looking to buy (even when we weren't varrock centre, or behind draynor bank advertising). It was definitely the most fun I ever had playing this game. Over the years, we ended up with so many santa hats, phats, SS, and just gp in general. Most of our wealth came from staking on def tanks, charge mages, but it all started with that little green rune.

    I became somewhat well known back in the day (IGN Attombomb) because I only ran air runes, and I'd create trains so everyone could AFK. It got to a point where we had enough people to create a loop. Whenever there wasn't a full loop, I'd get tips of air runes, essence, and Unid Herbs. When I ran out of essence I'd sell the air runes, and buy all Unid Herbs. For those that don't know/remember, Grimy herbs were originally all called Unidentified Herb(s). I'd keep a stack of Unid Ranarr's and resell the rest for a slight loss. Clean and use the Ranarr's, use the profits to buy more essence, start an air altar train again. 12 year old me thought I was big brain. In retrospect, at the time, I was.

    I remember trying Runescape ages ago and was really annoyed by the teleportation rune system as a total newbie. In Ultima Online you could just buy these super cheap wooden runes from NPCs and cast a Mark spell to get a permanent teleportation spot almost anywhere. You could even stuff runes in a book and people made entire public rune libraries you could use to teleport (or create a gateway!) to all sorts of crazy places.

It wasn't the best but all I needed was a pickaxe and the method didn't require combat or the wildy.

    The way I remembered the combat triangle as a kid was since metal is conductive, the magic would have an easier time travelling through it. (Maybe an npc mentions that somewhere but idr.) While leather would nullify it. However a sharp object could slice through it. Physically magic being more resistant to melee makes little sense but I figured the robes being magical had a barrier that weakens physical blows. But since arrows and bolts concentrate force into a single point, they break through that barrier. Like how a car window breaking tool is a metal point that concentrates the force into a single area to break through with minimal effort.

    Magic armor wasn't resistant to melee at all. It is in RS3 but not in RS2/OSRS. If the melee guy got to the mage he would shred him in seconds The idea was that the mage freezes the opponent with entangle or ancient magic freeze spells so the melee doesn't get to him (melee armor's poor magic defence making it more likely the freeze lands), but against ranged the freeze is useless because he can shoot the mage anyways. In reality the melee had the advantage because there was nothing preventing him from wearing ranged armorbsince that gave no melee penalties, thus resisting the freeze and other spells

    @@exantiuse497 Oh that makes more sense now. Yeah it wouldn't make sense for a thin robe to be resistant to a slashing weapon. In my head canon D'hide leathers are resistant to magic because they're the skin of dragons. Metal armor one still makes sense though.

    I remember getting hundreds of rune ess bots stuck back in the day! I placed a banner on one side of the door and the cannon on the other side and would keep closing the door. I probably prevented hundreds of thousands of ess from entering the game XD The bots would get stuck on the corner of the hut and I would get so many stuck that you could right-click the tile and it wouldn't fit on screen. I would world hop and do it again and like half would stay stuck for hours. IDK how many fewer trips I was causing per day.

    honestly, i trained rc to 99 with double nats abyss and astral rcing, and it wasnt too bad, and actually felt like i achieved something, more so than with the other methods of training these days. (given that my skiller is 91 rc, and getting 77 was a bigger achievement for me than 91 because of bloods) whilst gameplay is boring, it really gave me the oldschool vibe and i love rc for that, kinda less now with guardians of the rift but we cant have everything right ^^ (+ its like 10 years after launch of osrs or something crazy) same thing can be said about shift drop, i liked ahk/mousekey dropping way more, idk i just enjoyed it more as it was more engaging i guess... my playtime went from 16 hr a day to like 6-10 hr just cuz of shiftdrop making stuff pretty boring for me and less satisfying. hard to explain to anyone who doesnt like skilling tho :p

    I just came back to osrs recently and I think this rune shortage has made me avoid magic. I avoided ranged too because fletching wasn't around for me at least since I was f2p for most of my original account's life. Just lots of mining I remember mining iron in varrock and going to a bed after doing a run and world hopping trying to find coal nodes in barbarian village without competition. I wanted to level up enough to make decent armor for me and my friends. I also remember going into the wildnerness with some friends and making pizzas since we didn't know what we were doing out there we just wanted the danger since I could make us new armor if we died.

    As someone who has played since early 2001 this video was a huge dose of nostalgia! Back then full rune or any gear for that matter was bis for both melee, range and mage lol. Oh how I miss the way you would cast a spell or range on classic. The animations were so cook to me as a kid and even now at 34. The days of mage pure staking people 3x their cb level and often winning. Does anyone remember that when a mage pure was staking you could stand In the middle between the players and It would block the spells? Great times for sure. I genuinely miss classic. These days they are called "hcim" but back then everyone on classic was hcim. Great video Colonello!
