it might be nessesary to chat a little bit more complexly than in the guide, lest others suspect you have an auto-miner that is programmed to say simple things. a losing few more seconds are worth not losing a few months being banned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

those r my two cents...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your two cents are appreciated. Sure you can have a conversation, but you need to be skilled in dropping that conversation. For me I can only speak up to 51 seconds otherwise I'm losing time. You can chat it up asking "Hey (insert name here) how's that Mithril armor treating you?" or anything else that will give a short but sweet response.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all the support so far everyone.

Nice guide :P I havent mined essence in a long time, but at least when I eventually do I will know to bring my pouches with me because I woudlve ever thought of that.

Wow, nice guide. I just worked out it'll take you around 15 hours to get the remaining 16k.. have fun mining ess! :D

Mining essence is alway fun!!! Well not really. My internet connection's been down so I haven't been doing much with essence mining. Yep...

I updated the Guide's pictures and added a little bit more info in the p2p section. Just giving everyone a heads up that I'm now over 20,000 Rune Essence and I think that I can get the next 6k in a couple more days!

I just found a little error in your guide. You can get the boots of lightness without even having started Temple of Ikov quest.

Ouch, 0wned. Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix it up in a minute or two.

Bored of those times when the internet goes off?

 

 

 

When someone needs the phone?

 

 

 

When you have an internet bug

 

 

 

I'd say Talktalk broadband is the one for you- stable connections and very nice cables which seperate the internet from the phone! Other than that nice work! I hope no-one gets insulted that I got a better browser! :lol:

Fantastic guide, it's so good in fact that i think i might mine my own essence from now on, you make it sound so fun! :)

Yep, I'm finished with Essence mining and I doubt I'll be doing it again any time soon. Now I've got to get Iron and Coal mining to get my smithing up a vast amount of levels. If you're ever in Edgeville and you go by the steel mine you'll see the man in the hat and scarf with a rune pickaxe. In case you'd like to see how long it took. I kept a bit of a log and here it is.

wow, only took you 14 days to mine 26k ess? nice. i would have much rather pay the 1.3m for the ess. Is this the way you make money or just a strange little goal?

Good work!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was helpful.

I'd rather wear out, than rust out.

Quite good, I personally know all this (*cough * *cough* *20k ess in bank* *cough*)but i'm glad you're helping people.

1690 total and unranked strength. Headed for 1800.

I like the irony (no wait, paradoxicality) in how there's a spelling error in this sig.

F.Y.I. your pouches still degrade.

 

 

 

They degrade when you take ess out of them.

 

 

 

Going in and out of the abyss doesnt effect them.

He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol

Wow, I didnt even think about using Ess Pouches for mining essence.

Strange little goal. I would never sell all that Essence. Worked too hard to get it :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@trembake:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did not know that! I thought I was safe from losing my pouches. Has anyone calculated just how many times it takes to have a pouch degrade?

not a bad guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the speed is actually because of the pick axe not the mining lvl

Once you start using pouches, that require more clicks, wouldn`t it be more efficient to ammy teleport to edgeville after you are done mining essence, runecraft using the abyss, then tele to east ardougne and use the teleport from the wizard there? That saves you walking back to the bank and emptying/filling the pouches. Never tried it though.

Sure it's possible but most people gather large quantities of essence so that they can do solid runecrafting and not have to keep switching back and forth from task to task.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But you are also carring 1. An amulet of glory 2. a stack of runes that you have been crafting 3. A pickaxe 4. More than likely some sort of defensive equipment against PKer's near the abyss. That is limiting you slightly and also, if you've done it for hours and are still carrying the runes it'd really bite if you died with them still on you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running from the Ardougne marketplace (where you teleport in) to that crazy wizard's house in Ardougne is a bit more of a distance than from the eastern bank in Varrock to the rune shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But really this guide is for people simply gathering essence to either sell, or craft themselves and I do not delve into the actual crafting of it. If you feel like testing your idea time yourself and see how efficient it is and how many runes you can make and then share your results with us as soon as you can. :)

Yeah, I agree, nice guide. I'm a member and I mine my ess, it doesn't take long at all thanks to this sweet guide. :wink:

fan of her's.
You know what I hate? People putting an apostrophe on a personal pronoun. STOP IT.

Glad to still be hearing positive things about my guide. I've come to realize that if your heart isn't into the mining it'll take longer no matter what you try to do. So be conscious and positive about your essence gathering goal and treat it as fun and not a chore.
