Starting Out
Talk to Mage of Zamorak in wilderness north of Edgeville. He tells you that the wilderness is not a safe place to talk, and to speak to him in Varrock at the Zamorak altar.
When you get there, ask him "Where do you get your runes from?". You will talk to him about how they make the runes, and you will mention about how you know how to get rune essence and make runes. The Mage of Zamorak will say that the Saradomin mages have an advantage, and in order to keep the balance, you must give them the ability to teleport to the essence mine.
As you don't know the teleport spell directly, the Mage of Zamorak gives you a scrying orb. With that orb, you must teleport from three of the five wizards who know the rune essence spell so the Mage of Zamorak can find the location of the rune essence mine.
Teleporting to the Essence Mine
Head out and teleport from any three of the five wizards listed below, while keeping the orb in your inventory. Afterwards, the orb will change to a charged version, with a different color.
| Map | Wizard | Location |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Aubury | South of Varrock East Bank |
![]() | Sedridor | Basement of the Wizard's Tower south of Draynor |
![]() | Cromperty | North-East Ardougne |
![]() | Brimstail | In a cave south west of the Grand Tree |
![]() | Distentor | Inside the Magic Guild (Requires level 66 Magic) |
Returning to the Mage
Head back to the Mage of Zamorak in Varrock, and talk to him. He will reward you with access to the abyss, 1000 Runecrafting XP, a small pouch, and an abyssal book.
