Training magic self funded or buying runes

Hello everyone, I’m looking for advice regarding mage training. Would it be better to make my own runes and level with splashing or just buy them. Anyone know the amout of minds i’d need to say lvl 50?

from 1-50 it would take about 18,424 splashes. With mind runes being insanely expensive rn averaging about 25gp per mind rune youre looking at 460k to splash to 50. I recommend just using fire strike till 50, since fire runes are cheap. When you get to around 30, you can go to blue dragons or black demons to make some profit.

Honestly - train runecrafting until you can make nature runes and sell and use them. I usually just use mind spells until I can super heat, and then mine and superheat until I can alch.
