General Method Description

Nature runes are one of the most popular type to craft. While they have come down in value since the start of 2008, they are still a good way to make money and earn Runecrafting experience.

There are many different approaches for runecrafting nature runes, but the fastest method these days is to use a spirit graahk familiar, which provides unlimited teleports to a hunting area conveniently adjacent to the nature altar. One drawback, of course, is that using this familiar means you can't use an abyssal familiar to carry more essence, but the faster trips more than make up for this.

You need level 57 Summoning to use the spirit graahk. For those who do not have that level, I have devised a different method, which makes use of the fairy ring on Karamja and rings of slaying, which you can make after you unlock the secret to them using Slayer points.

An alternative method for making natures is via the abyss, but this is both slower and more dangerous than using the spirit graahk. For those unable to use the graahk, the abyss method will let you make more runes per hour, but bear in mind that the Abyss can be a dangerous place for those with middling combat skills.

Thanks to the November 2009 Runecrafting update, you start to get double natures above level 44, though not many until your level gets significantly higher. At level 91 Runecrafting you get two nature runes per essence. This is the "Holy Grail" of runecrafters and a very good moneymaker even with nature rune prices well off their historical high prices.
