The daeyalt essence mine is a mine found beneath the city of Darkmeyer, in the lower tier of the city just north-west of the Darkmeyer General Store, down the stairs indicated by a dungeon marker on the world map. The mine was once home to the Stone of Jas, the presence of which caused the mineral deposits in the area to change, creating daeyalt essence and daeyalt ore.^[1]

The mine is closely associated with the Meiyerditch mine.

The essence mine becomes available after completion of Sins of the Father. To reach the mine, several routes can be taken:

• Using the Drakan's medallion Ver Sinhaza teleport, running to the nearest Vyrewatch (one is right on the west side of the bank) and asking to be sent to the mines, then asking the nearest Vampyre Juvinate to leave the mine while wearing the Vyre noble outfit, and then running north and passing through the crack in the wall to enter Darkmeyer just south of the entrance.
• Using a Hallowed crystal shard to teleport to the Hallowed Sepulchre lobby, and running south and then west from there.
• Using the Drakan's medallion Darkmeyer teleport and running clockwise through the city until you reach the mine entrance in the lower tier of the city. This method takes ~60 seconds to reach the entrance after teleporting.

Mining the daeyalt shards here requires level 60 Mining and completion of Sins of the Father. Within the mine, players will find three daeyalt essence rocks, but only one is active at any given time, indicated by a brighter shade and a spiral of sparkles around it. The active rock changes randomly, roughly every 60 seconds, and players will need to run between them to continue mining. Daeyalt essence can be used in place of pure essence for runecrafting, which will net players 50% more Runecraft experience for any given action.

Mining the essence gives stackable daeyalt shards, which can be exchanged for daeyalt essence via Noranna Tytanin on the eastern side of the mine for an equal amount. The essence will be sent directly to the player's bank. However, players will need to wear vyre noble clothing to interact with Noranna, unless they have completed The Blood Moon Rises quest.

While mining essence, players receive 2–3 shards and 5 experience for every roll. With a dragon or crystal pickaxe, players can obtain approximately 4,000 daeyalt shards and 8851 Mining experience per hour. Unlike at the dense essence mine, the crystal pickaxe increases the rates of the mined essence and thus consumes charges.^[2] Tick manipulation may be used to mine essence, particularly 1.5-tick methods to obtain shards nearly twice as quickly (for up to 9,000 per hour). Mining enhancers (e.g. Varrock armour) do not increase the amount of shards received, though the experience boosting effect of prospector kit works normally. Players are also able to receive uncut gems while mining daeyalt essence, so it may be worthwhile to bring a gem bag for extended trips; a charged amulet of glory may also be used to increase the rate of gems mined, although this lowers the rate of obtaining shards.

There are also 13 daeyalt rocks found here, and a steel pickaxe spawn by the northern essence.

• Noranna Tytanin
• Slaves
• Vampyre Juvinates

• In the southernmost area, players can find the plinth which once held the Stone of Jas.
• According to Noranna Tytanin, the main use of daeyalt is as a key component in the vampyrification process.
