voting no on this mine. stop trying to ruin the game with this sort of crap.. How is this ruining the game? Its not going to be AFKable, and the XP rates will be nothing compared to what you can currently get. ruins current training. think about the people who power mined granite? also an xp set for mining? might as well start giving out bonus xp lamps. It clearly says on the first post that they will not allow the xp rates to surpass current ones. Also what do you mean by "xp set?"

I am 86 mining and have mined thousands of granite rocks. I can tell you this will not replace current methods. If someone does plan on using this as a training method it will take them 2-3x longer than it would with granite. xp set as in the outfit? 2.5% extra xp sounds great for mining. next thing people will want is bonus xp and double xp weekends. boy times sure do change.. 2.5% of 13m xp (99) is only 325k, which is 5-6 hours of granite mining. Its really not doing as much as you think. still extra xp. Seeing as it will take 25+ hours to get the full set, and it will only save you 5-6 hours of mining to 99, you really aren't getting much extra xp, if any... But you are entitled to your own opinions and I will leave it at that.

RS3 Status: 120 Slayer done now onto figuring out what I should do next.

Not sure about this Motherlode Mine. I do alot of mining to support smithing. For example if I want to collect 2k coal I will mine 2k coal at the Mining Guild or the Coal Trucks, I won`t use the Motherlode Mine because it will be a lot slower to collect the coal. Perhaps we could split the ore veins into a coal vein (containing coal) and mineral vein (containing gold, mithril, adamant and runite).

And whats with this paydirt nonsense, ore technically is STONE and DIRT containing minerals... Makes no sense to me, exept for the gold nuggets...

And if the exp rates are the same as regular mining to contain these ores, I wont use this Motherlode Mine either, because it requires an extra step to aquire the actual ore...

And what about the bank in that place, than everyone will be able to bank quickly in the Dwarven Mine instead of the ones having acess in to the mining guild.

I see that you decided to use an image of a Lego man for the prospector. I'm pretty sure that violates intellectual property rights, just saying. Might wanna take that off, could be a potential lawsuit. Just lookin' out for you guys.

It's funny how you think this will ruin the game. What about the slayer cave updates? That increased slay xp rates by 15% overall, and I bet you voted for that. This doesn't even give higher xp rates than previous methods, it just makes mining that much more useful. Seriously though, what is the point of going past 60 mining? This will give us something to mine for.

A new way of training mining sounds like a great addition to OSRS. I'm also looking forward to the Easter event's return, and hoping these all fair up well in the upcoming poll. :)

Hey matt, it says on the idea there is about 10 spots right.. And they take 10-15 minutes to respawn? So unless you get like a full load from each vein or there is only 1-3 doing this on each world which i doubt, I think 10-15 minutes is waay to much, any chance that could get lowered? -Straw hat Pirates Crew

The various Slayer updates actually increased the experience/hour of the skill by over 30%, however the mechanics of Slayer training specifically were not changed *too* much (new spots, no skip tasks). The Motherlode Mine appears to be "afk" mining that is also reasonable experience/hour, so while the difference in exp rates may not be 30% like with Slayer, the mechanics will differ substantially from conventional "powermining".

I voted for this in the poll.

However, I would prefer it left as it is. So will vote no in the final poll :P What exactly did they change that you dislike?

Mining is fine as it is. Just because most people dislike training it, isn't cause to make it easier to max in. I only voted for it as it was the least bad idea of them all.
