General Method Description

Fire orbs are used to make fire battlestaves and give very fast Crafting XP, so the orbs are always in high demand. They are made by taking them to the fire obelisk located in the farthest reaches of Taverley Dungeon. The spell requires level 56 Magic and uses 3 cosmic runes and 30 fire runes per orb (the fire staff negates the need for the fire runes, however.)

This method provides decent income and significant amounts of Magic XP: 35k to 42k per hour. Be sure to compare the benefits of doing water, earth or air orbs instead, based on current prices.

At very high levels you can use the level 80 Agility shortcut in the dungeon that cuts about 30 seconds off each run, allowing you to make more orbs per hour. And at level 96 Summoning, the pack yak lets you make several dozen more orbs per hour.

With the June 2009 run energy update, energy restoration is no longer needed for this activity.
