Superglass Make is a Lunar Spell which requires level 77 Magic to cast. It turns all sets of paired ingredients for glass into molten glass instantly and without the need of a furnace, with each set consisting of one bucket of sand and one of either seaweed, swamp weed, or soda ash.

If using kelp, it must first be cooked to soda ash. Edible seaweed cannot be used as it cannot be cooked into soda ash nor can it be used in its raw form.

Unlike when making molten glass normally, the buckets are not returned after glass has been made - the ingredients are completely consumed to randomly produce either 1 or 2 pieces of molten glass. On average, each set will produce 1.30 pieces of molten glass.

A maximum of 14 pairs of ingredients can be converted per spell. To do this, the player must wield a greater runic staff or a wicked pouch which has been charged with runes for Superglass make, while having in inventory the 14 sets of ingredients. This will produce a long-term average of 18.2 pieces of molten glass per cast. Using this spell to create molten glass can simultaneously train the magic and crafting skills for significant profit, although using this spell to train magic is significantly slower than other magic training spells, such as High Level Alchemy, due to the need to bank in between each cast.

Casting this spell grants 78 Magic experience per cast and 10 Crafting experience per ingredient pair used.

Using Superglass Make will not yield Crafting strange rocks.

The profitability of Superglass making can vary greatly. The Grand Exchange prices on sand/seaweed/astral runes fluctuate quite frequently. It is recommended to study the market beforehand if aiming to maximise profit.

Maximising speed

The use of mousekeys and bank presets greatly increases the rate of casting. By positioning the cursor so that it is over the banker and the preset 1 button, you can withdraw your inventory in 2 key presses. Using this method yields around 914 casts per hour (assuming use of a fire staff with 13 sets of seaweed/sand), resulting in:

• 71,000 experience per hour
• 119,000 experience per hour
• 4,037,777.8 per hour

As with all Lunar spells, the Lunar Diplomacy quest must be completed to cast this spell.
