Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
Conventional glass making is a slow and tedious process, but if you have level 77 Magic and have done Lunar Diplomacy, you have a better option: the Superglass Make spell. When cast, it automatically converts all buckets of sand and seaweed or soda ash in your inventory into glass. Not only is this much faster, but you get bonus glass as well: with 13 buckets of sand and 13 seaweed, you get 13 to 20 glass. The bonus glass makes this a good moneymaker, and as if that weren't enough, you also get lots of Magic XP (around 27k per hour) and a good 45k/hr of Crafting XP too! You can't lose -- as long as you have the requirements. :)
Specific Method Details
The method is easy. Turn on Lunar Magicks, and summon a magpie familiar -- this is just to make extra money from what it forages while you work.
Equip an air staff (or other staff that provides air runes), and go to a single-click bank like the one at Castle Wars. Withdraw from the bank a stack of astral runes and another of fire runes. Then take out 13 buckets of sand and 13 seaweed and cast the spell. Wait until about 3 seconds of the animation has occurred, then click the bank, store the glass and repeat. You can do about 350 casts per hour. Be sure to use the "X" feature to withdraw 13 the first time, so you can use it again from then on to speed up the process.
