Advanced runes (basically, the runes that can only be made by members) can only be made from pure essence.
Yes - the rune chainbody is better.
No, Rune Scimitar is better than a God Staff in melee combat.
Not even close. The Rune Scimitar is better when it comes to attack stats. The blurite sword's defense stats are actually a little better then the rune Rune Scimitar's.
i think a rune battleaxe is better than a rune 2h sword because they do the same damage but a rune battleaxe is faster!!!!!rune 2h hits higher but is slowerrune b axe is alitle faster but alittle weaker. just look at the equipment stats(the guy above my awsner is a noob dont listen to him)
Stat wise no granite is slightly better but rune is more popular due to its low price and good defence stats. =)
no
yes because a granite maul has a special attack but it is members but a rune 2h is free to play and is better than most weapons with its smash attack
it depends on what you like. i kinda like guthix a little better than rune g, but some people might call you a noob. if you dont mind, then get guthix, but if you do then get rune g.
Either really is not better than the other. A rune battle axe does more damage, but you can attack quicker with a rune scimitar. Scimitar = more speed. Battle axe = more damage. It depends which you like more. Hope I helped!
A Rune Crossbow is better to train Range with than Magic Short, Long or composite bow.
There is no such thing as "Icon Essence" in Runescape. There is, however, Rune Essence and Pure Essence. Rune Essence is acquired by, after completing the F2P quest: Rune Mysteries, teleporting to the Essence mines and mining with either less than 30 mining or mining in a F2P world. Rune Essence is used to Runecraft Air, Mind, Water, Earth, Fire and Body runes. Pure Essence is acquired by, after completing Rune Mysteries, teleporting to the Essence mines and mining with 30 Mining and up on a P2P world. Pure Essence is used to Runecraft all runes, including the ones Rune Essence is used to Runecraft.
