Mining is a major component in RuneScape Dragonwilds that involves mining different ores and Rune Escences. While mining ores is relatively simple, players can only mine Rune Essences through rune geysers. You can mine Rune Escences from geysers as soon as you start the game, but there are a few floating runes that are out of reach. Those floating runes can also be mined, and there are a few methods you can use to achieve this.
RuneScape Dragonwilds: How To Get Antlers
Hunting is one of the major parts of the RuneScape Dragonwilds gameplay loop, and here's how to use the bow and get the antlers.
How to Mine Floating Runes at Geysers in RuneScape Dragonwilds
There are plenty of Rune Geysers scattered around the whole map of RuneScape Dragonwilds. When players approach one of the geysers, they can easily mine the rune stones scattered on the ground to get Rune Essences. However, the floating runes are hard to reach and cannot be brought down with a simple Pickaxe.
To bring down the floating rune stones, players will either have to craft a bow or use a magic staff to cast a spell to hit one of the floating stones. After a stone is hit with a projectile, it'll fall down. So, players will be able to use a Pickaxe on the fallen rune stone and mine Rune Essence from it.
This will ensure players get the maximum amount of Rune Essence from a geyser, making farms more efficient.
All Recipes that Require Rune Essence
To use the Rune Essence, players will have to make a Rune Altar and craft various Runes and Wardstones from it. Here's a complete list of recipes that require Rune Essences.
