General Method Description

Death runes are used mainly for combat spells and are always in high demand. They are a good, consistent moneymaker once you are able to craft them. The only efficient way to craft death runes is via the Abyss.

Bear in mind that any time you travel through the Wilderness there is the risk of revenant attack, but the distance covered in getting to the Abyss is small, and you only have to go up to Wilderness level 5, so it's rare to encounter a revenant of the right level to attack you. If you do come under attack, try to run south back to "civilization" or teleport using your amulet. If you are about to die, immediately drop your pouches -- you can get them back if you return quickly after you respawn, but if you die with them they are lost. I formerly used a forinthry brace to provide some protection when using the Abyss. However, I have discontinued the practice, since the chances of actually needing it are small, and the cost of the braces cuts into your profits significantly.
