FAQs:

Q: Is there a reward for running nats?

A: Yes! Anyone who runs 100 hours will permanently receive 2x nats when I am 91 RC.
Note: Accruing 10 hours before I hit 91 is required to be eligible.

Q: What if I never hit 100 hours?

A1: Once I hit 91, increased nats will be given to runners who have met hourly thresholds as follows:

20 Hours = 32:24 natures to essence (or +8)
40 Hours = 36:24 natures to essence (or +12)
60 Hours = 40:24 natures to essence (or +16)
80 Hours = 46:24 natures to essence (or +20)

A2: Instead of saving to 100 hours, you may “cash-in” your hours two ways:

    1. You may exchange accrued 1:1 hours for equivalent 2:1 hrs (i.e. run 10 hours 1:1, thus earning 10 hours 2:1)
    1. You may exchange accrued 1:1 hours for nature runes at a rate of 1 hour → 375 nature runes (equivalent of 1:1.75 per lap for hors ran)

Note: Hours never expire but vanish if exchanged. Anyone desiring permanent 2:1 nats should not spend hours. This mechanic exists for either casual players w/o 100 hours or tentative players to dabble before committing 100 hours up front. Such players may run fewer hours with ample reward.
Important: Hours may not be spent until I hit 91 RC.

Q: How did you come up with 100 hours?

A: The idea is that it takes 1180 hours to get to 91 solo running at 5k xp/hr:
5,900,000xp / 5k/hr = 1180 hrs
I am already 73 RC (as of writing on 04/23/25), so I have ~1000 hours left.
If 10 work as a team it turns into 100 hours and we can all earn 2:1 Nats Together!

Q: How much GP should I expect to make?

A: With the 50% faster method, tick perfect runners can make up to 220k gp/hr (shop method is 160k gp/hr ).
So, over the first 100 hours you make between 16,000,000 & 22,000,000 gp.
The next 100 hours double: 32,000,000 - 44,000,000 mil gp. (and hours after)
Note: Estimates based on 100gp/ess and 320gp/nat.

Q: Will Permanent 2x transfer to Law Runes?

A: Double laws aren’t in 04Scape :frowning_with_open_mouth:

Never thought I’d enjoy running runes. If nothing else, come hang out at the live steams. #longlive2004

Very cool to see the running still active after ess hit 135gp. It’s surprisingly relaxed and fun!

Good incentive, I like that.
