Blood essence is an item dropped by certain NPCs in the Ancient Prison, a possible reward from the Tombs of Amascut, as well as a potential reward when opening an intricate pouch. When one is activated, it becomes untradeable. While activated and in the inventory, it will give a 50% chance to craft an extra blood rune per pure essence, daeyalt essence, guardian essence or dark essence fragment for no additional experience. The bonus runes granted stack additively with other multipliers such as the Raiments of the Eye or runic extracts. Only one blood essence may be active at a time. If the player tries to activate a second blood essence, they will receive the message You can only have one active blood essence at a time. Each blood essence can craft an extra 1,000 blood runes before being destroyed. Blood essence works in Guardians of the Rift, however, the additional blood runes crafted will not provide additional catalytic guardian stones. Blood essence does not provide benefit nor consume charges at the Ourania Altar.

For Ultimate Ironman, the activated blood essence is destroyed upon death, and cannot be recovered from an Item Retrieval Service.

As a blood rune costs 374 coins each, each blood essence could add an additional 374,000 coins in total. Factoring in the cost of each essence, one can expect to earn 294,237 coins for every blood essence used.

Each charge will on average last two essences. After using up all 1,000 charges, the player will have gained 47,600 experience when using dark essence, or 21,000 experience when using pure essence, and 4,200 blood runes provided the Raiments of the Eye were worn.

When an activated blood essence is checked by the player, they will receive the message Your blood essence has X charges remaining.
