With the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}} equipped you have to mine about 330,000 {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}} for {{SkillReq|Runecrafting|99}}. {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} do not work with {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}, therefore if affordable the {{ItemIcon|Mining Gloves}} are a good alternative to speed up the process.

The player should use mining gloves to mine essence, and then gem gloves for coal. A total investment of ~ 2 MGp saves ~15 hrs of time.<br>
Furthermore, if the player has an excess of money, or access to money making methods to make in excess of 415k/hr (99 [[Fishing]], 99 [[Woodcutting]]), then using mining gloves for all mining actions is a more efficient use of time.
