Hello fellow programmers!

I've been searching the forums for a way to check the degradation/contents of the various essence pouches for runecrafting but I've come up mostly empty handed. I found an older post saying that the varbits for essence pouches have been removed back in 2018 or something.

Does anybody know how I would 1) check if a pouch is degraded, and 2) check how many essence are stored in each of the 5 pouches?

Thank you!

heyyo, i currently have a RC bot and had to tackle these issues. by no means are these the best ways to handle them.

degraded pouches have a different item id. to check for a degraded pouch, i check if the item name exists in my inventory, but the fully repaired item id does not.

for checking how much essence is in a pouch, my current solution is checking if the pouch has a "Fill" option since that option goes away when the pouch is full. however i do believe there are working varbits to determine how much essence is stored. i didn't know how to utilize varbits when developing my bot, but it's working well enough to the point where i didn't do too much digging. to get the varbit id's, run the dev tool and look at the event logger when filling/emptying your pouch.

hope this can help you get started

Thanks for the reply! My menu entry swapper must have changed things because I always have the fill option on my pouches, or I probably would have done that. And I did try to track down the Varbits but nothing was coming up in the listener that looked right.
