Fastest Way to Mine Pure Essence

Mining pure essence may be profitable, but only by efficiently mining it can it be considered a method that is worth your time. Do you want to spend your time running or do you want to actually mine pure essence?


The great rune essence mine.
Skill Requirements
  • 66 Magic
  • 30 Mining

Items Required

Quest Requirements

Time is of the essence. Unless you have a magic level of 66, mining pure essence would be a waste of time. Level 66 magic allows you access into the Magic Guild, which houses a wizard offering free teleports to the rune essence mine. Since the Magic Guild is closely located beside Yanille's bank, this would be the fastest method of mining pure essence.

Instructions

  1. Purchase the required items.
  2. Go into the Magic Guild.
  3. Right click Wizard Distentor and select the teleport option.
  4. Mine an inventory full of pure essence.
  5. Walk on top of a portal to teleport back to the Magic Guild.
  6. Exit the Magic Guild.
  7. Go to the bank in Yanille.
  8. Deposit all your mined pure essence.
  9. Repeat steps 2-9 to continue mining pure essence.
  10. Sell all your collected pure essence, or keep them for future runecrafting uses.

Runecrafting may or may not be more profitable for the player, depending on your player's runecrafting level.

Gold Charm Dropper: Werewolf

Killing werewolves are a reliable source of gold charms.

Gold Charm Drop Rate of a Werewolf

If you kill 1000 werewolves, you will generally receive around 431 gold charms. This means that for each werewolf that you kill, you have around 43% chance of receiving a gold charm.

Where Werewolves are Located

Level 88 werewolves can be found in the werewolf town of Canifis. Level 93 werewolves can be found at the God Wars Dungeon. It is recommended to grind werewolves at Canifis due to its proximity to a bank, as well as the fact that they are somewhat weaker than their God Wars counterparts.

Fighting Werewolves

It is recommended for players with a combat level of 70+ to kill werewolves. Werewolves don't really have weaknesses other than the Wolfbane dagger.

For higher leveled players, simply bringing their general monster hunting equipment will be sufficient in killing werewolves. Simply attacking a villager of Canifis will cause them to transform into level 88 werewolves.

There are many safe-spots in Canifis for rangers and mages. Commonly used safe-spots include the tables in the buildings. A person can attack with bolts or spells accross tables and safely attack werewolves without fear of being hit back.

Lower leveled players may use the Wolfbane dagger to first weaken the human version of a werewolf (level 24) and switch to their primary weapon after. This would lower the werewolf's hitpoints upon transformation, although it regenerates half its half once transformed.

Skill Requirements
  • 89+ Combat
  • 60+ Range

Items Required

Items Required Per Repeat

Items Recommended
  • Void range armor set

Quest Requirements

Make sure you stay in a safe spot at all times. If your target is too far from you, shoot it once and run back to your safe spot.

Instructions

  1. Purchase the required items.
  2. Equip your comp ogre bow and your rune brutal arroows. Also equip any range armor (preferably void range armor for a range bonus) that you might have.
  3. Go to Jiggig.
  4. You should have a combat level of 89 or higher, so the zogres and skogres won't attack you. Run to a safe spot. Behind coffins or rocks work well. Zogres and skogres take up a two by two square area, so hiding in a narrow spot is safe as well.
  5. Use your rune brutal arrows and pick off zogres and skogres.
  6. Pick up your arrows, bones, and ogre coffin keys after each kill.
  7. Repeat this until you have an inventory full of zogre bones and ogre coffin keys.
  8. Use your ring of duelling to teleport to the Castle Wars Arena.
  9. Use the bank chest to deposit all your loot.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 until your ring of duelling runs out of charges.
  11. Withdraw another ring of dueling and repeat or sell all your loot.

It is very likely to get diseased if a zogre or skogre manages to hit you. If you do, the fastest and cheapest way to cure yourself is by teleporting to the Duel Arena by using your ring of dueling and let a player quickly kill you. You can then return to fighting zogres and skogres.

Money vs. Time, Which is a More Valuable Resource?

It's one thing to make something from nothing, but it's another to make something with things you already have.

Time vs Money, Who is the Top Dog?

You see, there has always been a thought, where if you make nothing into something, you would be much more successful and able to produce money. However in modern times, this is rarely ever the case. One can plant a seed and wait for it to become a cabbage, or one can invest money on others so that they can grow cabbages for you.

In Runescape, and pretty much in any other video game, the same rule applies. You have or probably will hear a lot of people who make millions by picking flax and spinning them into bowstring. Why does this seem to work well? This is because by picking the flax themselves, they believe they will make more money since they didn't need to spend a single Runescape coin.

So Why isn't this the Best Way to Go?

Sure, you didn't spend anything and you made a decent amount of money off that. However, think about the amount of time you spent picking that flax. How long did it take to fill one inventory of flax? Say in one minute, you were able to pick a full inventory of flax. How much is that flax worth? Not only that, you still need to spin that flax into a bowstring.

Now say that instead of tediously harvest flax from the ground, you decide to take the more expensive way to about making bowstring. By buying the flax. Surely this must be less profitable since by converting flax that you have collected yourself into valuable bowstrings is much bags more money. This is true in raw form. Now add the time factor into buying the flax. By buying flax, you have effectively cut the time significantly by not picking flax. In the time that you have saved, you can spin much more bowstring than by using that time to pick and spin bowstring.

The Moral of the Story

Runescape is nothing more than a digital world in which we enjoy living in. However we have a real life out here in the real world, with an abundance of chores to do. Be it going to school or working at your day job, you truly do not have that much time to spend on Runescape. Therefore, it is important to use that little time to make your most out of your limited time on Runescape.
