1. Introduction
This guide will help you gain the fastest Runecrafting Experience possible in Runescape. Not only is this method the fastest, but you will come out even and maybe even turn a nice profit! If you find anything incorrect in this guide please PM me or Reply to this thread ASAP.
The Zamorak Mage Institute (ZMI) Alter also known as the Ourania was added to Runescape on September 18th, 2007. Since its release it has been dominating all other methods of Runecrafting. The ZMI Alter requires pure essence, when you craft your runes on the alter you will get a variety of runes, the type and amount of the runes is purly random. Even if your runecrafting level is not high enough to optain a certain rune, you can still recieve that rune from crafting at the alter.
2. Requirements
For my method the main requirement is Access to the Lunar Spellbook which is gained after completing the quest "Lunar Diplomacy." However it is possible to utilize the ZMI Alter without access to the Lunar Spellbook simply by running back and forth from the alter to the bank. I will not cover that method though, because it simply is not very fast.
Requirements:
- Access to Lunar Spellbook (Lunar Diplomacy)
- 71+ Magic
- 10 Laws, 10 Astral Runes, Earth Staff (Mud and Lava staffs work too)
- 10-25 Amulets of Glory (If you wish to use the more efficient method)
- Desired amount of Pure Essence (Regular Essence will not work here)
- Rune Essence Pouches
Recommended:
- High Agility
- High Defence
- Some Food in the bank if your health becomes low
3. Inventory and Equiptment
Your inventory should look like the Picture Below:

You want to use Rune Essence Pouches.
Your Equiptment should look like the Picture Below:

It is highly recommended that you use Boots of Lightness, Spottier Cape, and anything else that will reduce you weight. Wear the best Dragon Hide Armour possible, and equipt your Earth, Mud, or Lava Staff.
[I]4. Strategies
There are multiple strategies that are effective here, I will only go into detail for the quickest two, and will briefly explain the method that does not Require Access to the Lunar Spellbook.
Strategy 1: Banking in Edgeville; Use Lunar Spellbook to Teleport to the Alter
1. Begin by having your inventory Setup as the Picture Below:
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/jameshobo/pic2.png
2. Teleport using the Lunar Spellbook to the Ourania Alter, this spell requires 1 law runes 6 earths (you don't need because of earth staff) and 2 astral runes with a magic level of 71 or higher. (See Pic Below)

3. Make your way up the path to the Zamorak Alter and recharge your prayer if necessary.

4. Go down the ladder to the right of the Alter. (See Pic Below)
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/jameshobo/pic7.png
5. Make your way directly south on the wide path. As you begin to run turn on "Protect from Range" and "Rapid Heal". Always keep these prayers on and simply recharge your prayer everytime you pass the Zamorak Alter.

6. Continue down the path making a turn to the east halfway there. You will be attacked by Zamorak Warriors, Mages, and Rangers. If you have at least 60 Defence you should be fine as long as you keep "Protect from Range" on. Once you get to the alter craft your runes, empty your pouches and craft again until all your pure essecnce is gone.

7. Teleport to Edgeville using your Amulet of Glory. Once there bank all the runes you crafted except for the laws and astral runes. Once you fill your pouches and have a full inventory of pure essence Teleport back to the Ourania Alter and repeat all the steps above.

Strategy 2: Banking using Eniola and Teleporting using the Lunar Spellbook
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/jameshobo/pic12.png
This strategy is basically the same as the first one but instead of using an Amulet of Glory to teleport to Edgeville to Bank you will just use the Ourania Teleport again and bank using Eniola. The catch is Eniola will charge you 20 of any rune to access the bank. If you are using Rune Essence Pouches then you will have to bank twice which will cost you a total of 40 runes per trip. It adds up, Edgeville may take a few extra seconds, but it will save you some cash.
To access the Bank right click on Eniola and click "Bank Eniola" (Pic Below)
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q109/jameshobo/pic13.png
When you try to access the bank a screen like the one Below will pop up, you must choose what type of rune you would like to pay with to access the bank. If you use this method always carry about 5-20k fire runes in your inventory and use them to pay Eniola.

Strategy 3: Longest Method, but does not require any Teleporting
This method involves running/walking from the Bank (Eniola) to the alter and walking back to bank. The down side of this is it is a much longer route and you have to walk through the Zamorak Warriors, Mages, and Rangers twice per trip.
That covers all of the strategies, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
5. Conclusion
There are several things you can consider such as bringing a Spirit-Terrorbird along to increase energy restore rates and use their summoning scrolls to restore a certain amount of energy depending on your agility level. Also when ever you are using this method go to world 70, this is where most ZMI Crafters go, because there are more people running to and from the alter you are less likely to be targeted by one of the Zamorak Warriors, Mages, or Rangers.
Thank-you for reading this guide, I hope it helped you out and maybe even inspired you to train the RC level. If you do find any mistakes within this guide please let me know ASAP. All Constructive Criticism (CC) is much appreciated, I know I have made several spelling errors, each time I read through it I catch one or two.
Best of Luck to you Runecrafting!
