What is a Large Essence Pouch?
A large essence pouch is a valuable item in RuneScape that allows players to carry up to 9 rune or pure essence for Runecrafting. However, these pouches degrade over time, reducing their capacity. When this happens, you’ll need to know how to repair them.
Why Do Large Pouches Need Fixing?
Large pouches degrade after repeated use. After 31 uses, the pouch’s capacity drops to 7 essence. At 40 uses, it further decreases to 5 essence. If not repaired, the pouch will eventually vanish, requiring you to obtain a new one.
