Rune Essence (Rock)

Rune Essence (Rock)

Not to be confused with Rune Essence Geyser or Rune Essence.

Rune essence rocks are Mining resource nodes found all over Ashenfall and around vaults. These rune essence rocks are also found floating over geysers or near the ground, surrounding the geyser. Players who mine the rune essence rocks (either through a pickaxe or casting Rocksplosion) will earn 16 Mining experience, and several rune essence. However, if the player mines the rock twice before disintegrating, the player will receive an additional 15 Mining experience after receiving the original experience. In some places (such as cliffs) where there are rune essence geysers, these rocks can fall off the edge and disappear.

Location

Rune essence rocks found near geysers, on the ground, and inside vaults will respawn after two in-game days, as long as the player is at least 100 metres away and their built objects are not directly on the spawn area. The floating essence rocks can be brought down by mid to long-range attacks (such as shooting it with Magic spells, shooting bows/arrows, or using crossbows/bolts).
