'''Pure essence''' is a raw material used in the [[Runecrafting]] [[skill]] to make [[runes]] that are only available to [[members]]. They can create the same runes as [[rune essence]] as well as [[Cosmic rune|cosmic]], [[Chaos rune|chaos]], [[Astral rune|astral]], [[Nature rune|nature]], [[Law rune|law]], [[Death rune|death]], [[Wrath rune|wrath]] and any [[combination rune]]s. Pure essence does not provide any bonus over rune essence when crafting runes lower than cosmic runes; therefore, when crafting lower-tier runes, it is recommended to use whichever essence is less expensive at the time.
 
 
To be teleported, you need to have completed the [[Rune Mysteries]] [[quest]].
 
 
==Obtaining pure essence==
 
[[Members]] with a [[Mining]] level of at least 30 will mine pure essence instead of [[rune essence]] (both granting 5 [[experience]]) on member worlds at the [[Rune essence mine]], after completing the [[Rune Mysteries]] quest. To access this mine, which contains four rocks with an unending supply of essence, players must get teleported by one of the five [[Rune essence mine#Teleportation and accessing the mine|NPCs who are able to do so]].
 
 
It is possible for players with a high Mining level and a high level [[pickaxe]] to mine upwards of 2,100 pure essence an hour. If mining pure essence, players should consider taking [[weight-reducing clothing]], or [[energy-boosting items]] and [[Pouch (Runecrafting)|pouches]] so that more pure essence can be mined per hour. The best place to mine essence is by going to [[Wizard Distentor]] who is located in the [[Wizards' Guild]] in [[Yanille]], but this requires 66 [[Magic]]. Players without this level should go for [[Aubury]] in [[Varrock]]. However, players can also go to [[Brimstail]] at [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]], [[Sedridor]] at [[Wizards' Tower]], [[Wizard Cromperty]] in [[Ardougne]], or the [[Lunar Isle mine]] if they so choose. However, these locations are not recommended, due to their comparatively long distances from [[bank]]s.
 
 
Wizard Cromperty in Ardougne will also provide 100 free noted pure essence daily for those who have completed the [[medium Ardougne Diary]].
 
 
Unlike [[runes]], pure essence does not stack. Pure essence is one of the most commonly traded items in ''[[Old School RuneScape|RuneScape]]'', due to its very high demand by Runecrafters. 
 
 
Since the release of the [[Nightmare Zone]] [[minigame]], the price for pure essence has gone down due to being able to acquire large sums of pure essence in this minigame by spending points. This has caused the price of pure essence to be lower than that of the less popular [[rune essence]].
 
 
[[Ironman mode|Ironmen]] who have completed [[In Aid of the Myreque]] and [[Darkness of Hallowvale]] may find [[Temple Trekking]] a good way of obtaining pure essence relatively early on, before options such as [[Zulrah]] or [[Gargoyle]]s are viable. By using easy NPCs and route one, most encounters are fairly fast or can be evaded, and each reward token gives 50+ essence. This can lead to approximately 3000 essence per hour.
