About Pure essence
The Pure essence is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"An unimbued rune of extra capability"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 1 and 3 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 2 gp. About 51,735,646 units changed hands per day. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 30,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 2 gp, which is 0.0% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
