The Ultimate OSRS Runecrafting Guide: Fastest XP Methods in 2025

Runecrafting. One of OSRS’s slowest and most painful skills — but also one of the most rewarding. Whether you're going for the Achievement Diary, chasing that max cape, or just hate the thought of running laps at the ZMI, this guide will walk you through the fastest and most efficient XP methods in 2025.

And if you’re already tired just reading the word “Runecrafting,” don’t worry — we’ve got a solution for that too.

Why Runecrafting is Worth the Grind (But Still Awful)

• Huge Profit Potential – Some methods make great GP (Blood Runes, Double Nature Runes).
• Diaries & Requirements – Many important quests and diaries require RC.
• Prestige – Let’s be real — 99 RC is a flex.

But it’s also slow, click-intensive, and mentally draining. That's why more players are turning to hand-trained Runecrafting services (like ours at Tons of XP) to skip the misery.

Fastest Runecrafting XP Methods in 2025

Here’s a breakdown of top methods from early levels to end-game:

🧊 1–23: Questing

Fastest way to skip early levels. Do these:

• Rune Mysteries
• The Eyes of Glouphrie (+6,000 XP)
• The Lost Tribe
• Enter the Abyss
• Temple of the Eye (Unlocks Guardians of the Rift)

Pro tip: You can get ~20+ RC just from questing. That’s a massive time-saver.

🔷 23–77: Lava Runes (via Binding Necklace)

• XP Rate: ~60–70k XP/hr
• Setup: Binding Necklace + Earth Talisman/Tiara + Fire Altar access
• Costly, but efficient.

You can also try ZMI Altar for a mix of XP and profit — but it’s less AFK.

🔮 77–99: Blood Runes (Arceuus)

• XP Rate: ~50k/hr
• Highly AFK, great for alt-tabbers
• Profitable — over 1M GP/hr in 2025 prices

No pouches required. No stress. Just chill RC gains.

Bonus Method: Guardians of the Rift (GOTR)

• Level: 27+
• XP: Scales with level, ~50–60k/hr at 70+
• Rewards: Abyssal Pearls, RC outfit, unique drops

This minigame is ideal if you want to combine XP with fun and some bonus loot.
