About Rune essence
The Rune essence is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"An unimbued rune"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 12 and 17 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 13 gp. About 722,860 units changed hands per day. The price is up 25.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 20,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 2 gp, which is 84.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
