Blast mining doesn't really seem worth it from what I've accomplished so far. Sulfur is slow to mine (and annoying because of the constant damage you take), and the process of actually combining all the ingredients is very slow because you can only do 9 per inventory. To make it worse, after you combine all your materials, you have to put balls of wool on every one of them at the same pace. So for 1000 dynamite you're looking at hours of work (not counting the 16+ hour time for making charcoal) for what will probably last you an hour or two of mining.

So unless these 1000 dynamites that I'm making will last me for many hours, I don't see anyone doing it for long.

The proposed Blast mining rates looks really nice and will make the minigame worth playing. I would like to see the Fight caves expansion repolled with only the range and mage capes to see how well it's recieved. Fire cape is very iconic.

I did blast mine today an was paying attention, after 1 hour at 85 mining I ended up with 447k gps from the ores and 39.9k experience in that hour. Either I was doing something totally wrong or the buff u gave is not accurate to actual experience gained while playing the mini game.
Those are suggested rates. They haven't been polled/added yet.

From all new data test's it works out that the experience is accurate to rough % of you getting around 30% as firemaking experience.

So take into account that the experience is around 1/3 less cause it's including firemaking experience at 90-99 experience is around 45-55k hour the Gold per hour is accurate for all from Data tests.

and to guy above me these updates have been added.

Edit: To clarify for others about reanimate i tested as well , it work's like this previous experience for dragon bone's was 1150 i believe they removed 50% of previous experience that was gained 50% of 1150 is 525 but you want what's 50% of 525 so experience you gain from 50% boost is 750 or so add in experience being doubled from original 750 to what it is now 1500+.

Currently you can still only reanimate at altar , their wording is this

this should make necromancy more rewarding overall and will give you more opportunities to take advantage of it all over the Old School map.

So i'm either going take it as bug or they worded it really badly and in my opinion it's worded wrongly cause at current rates if you could use head's anywhere you'd be getting between 350-400k prayer experience hour at 9gp that would devalue dragon bones by around 30-40% of current cost.

I love the transparency you have given us with a lot of the Other Updates over the past few years however I'm starting to get a little annoyed at reading through all the small and tiny grammatical or spelling errors changed. Perhaps try to shorten small changes such as "spelling/gramatical errors on quest hood examine, the HP skill guide, theiving messages." RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

I love all of the useful updates that you do, thank you for this!

And by the way, perhaps you may work on adding a map icon?

Yes, we can go on google for the osrs map, but it is a very useful upgrade to the community for those who get lost easily. :P

Not everyone may agree with me, but I feel that mini games need to be revived. One of my favourite mini games back in my Rs3 days was stealing creation, the way it brought players together to utilize their favourite skills to help each other out. Now I've heard that people used to abuse the 5v5 factor of it to gain points really quickly but of course that could be fixed if it were added or if a slightly similar variant were added. As well, it could have its own unique rewards but nothing that would change how the game is played, I always played the mini game for fun purely. Anyways, if you could consider polling it to the community I would appreciate it greatly, and of course tweak it however you'd like. Lastly what better spot to put it in other than Zeah? Might as well use the empty space it provides.

Thanks for considering my thought :D Scapin since '07
