Takes the same amount of effort and gp to make, with only a 5% xp/hour drop, yet steams cost 20 times more. Do people just not know to make steam runes for the gp because lavas are considered meta?

The time saved by making lavas is valued much higher than the extra 500k gp per hour by most players.
I just did the math, and if you get about 61k xp per hour making steam runes, the extra time you spend is valued at about 9.5m per hour (with steam at 78 gp, lavas 4 gp).
So the question is whether you would rather spend an hour Runecrafting, or 3-5 hours killing Vorkath.
Or 1 hour of Nex =p
Wiki recommends lava for rc training
Same with muds, at least when i did rc. Noticed they were worth a lot more for not a ton of extra effort
Muds are quite different since you have to run so much farther to get to either altar. With steam or lava runes, you can use the ring of dueling to get to the fire altar very quickly.
Because they're slower to make and worse money long term.
I would assume since lavas are meta there's probably way more supply of those coming into the game than steam runes.
I see.. I'm gonna keep quiet about this until I hit 99 lol
