Blood rune detail

Blood runes are one of the runes used to cast spells in the Magic skill. They are used in some of the highest level spells, the lowest of which being Ruby Crossbow Bolt Enchant, and the highest being Ice Barrage.

Blood runes can be made with the Runecrafting skill at 77 Runecrafting with dark essence fragments, and gain 23.8 experience per dark essence fragment. It is possible to reach approximately 38,000 experience per hour.

Note: Using full Graceful outfit and having 80+ Agility should be enough to have enough run energy to last the whole trip, depending on how often the player has to switch between the essence mines.
