Mining, fun fun :P You have what you need covered pretty much. Dragon pickaxe will be handy for sure, and with a large goal it could be worth looking into getting one fairly soon as the difference adds up eventually. On the other hand, with prices fluctuating a lot you could argue to just wait until they drop a bit, and in any case there are a fair few people who have went to 99 and beyond using Rune (or the Adze).

I haven't bothered with the gilded equipment purely because I'm not keen on quests. Most people who do use it seem to have got it by training at the Lava mines before they could access the Living Rock Caverns, or just like the look of it. If you enjoy the Lava mine anyway then you might as well go for it.

Making a new thread or not is up to you. Going back to 2006 plenty of separate threads were made for each goal a person had regardless of the length; whether it was something like 85 Slayer for Abyssals or 200M Runecrafting for insanity. Some people prefer to create new ones after a certain point because they may feel that they are changing too much from what it was originally. I always tend to enjoy longer threads with multiple goals set and achieved through them, as for sure there's some nostalgia about it.

Well done for your recent achievements, all the best with Mining, and look out for the new fireworks once you make the fantastic Farming milestone ;)

Hahaha, I'll achieve that 50M XP in Farming eventually.. :P

Yeah, I'm also not keen on quests. It could partially be due to some laziness as well.

~~

Finally got my hands on a Dragon Pickaxe and I managed to swipe ~50k/h mining gold in the LRC. Which seems about right I suppose.

I have 30k until 87 Mining, but I have homework that needs to get done. I may or may not stay up late tonight to level, but we'll see.

Edit : Decided to get 87. :P

Free bump for a "neat" player/forumer :P

Good luck with your midterms.


Thank you. ^_^ My midterms went well, but I still have a research paper due tomorrow morning that I still have to cite; never mind that though. :P

~~

By the way, random question, but which is better: using a Lava Titan or Pack Yak for Mining? I've seen both in the LRC on numerous occasions. I currently use a Lava Titan.

I always stuck to just using a Lava Titan. If you use a Pack Yak so you have to go to the deposit box half as often then as far as I'm aware the exp rates are pretty much the same, but note that you can use two Lava Titans before needing to recharge your summoning at the obelisk as opposed to one Pack Yak, which perhaps makes the Titan favourable.

Some people just use a Pack Yak to carry multiple urns and just drop the gold ores, or possibly use a few of the Divination items to send the ores immediately to the bank. You'd get more exp like this but of course no/lower profit, and have to leave a bit more often as the urns/portents don't last long. If you'd prefer the extra exp though that isn't an issue as to leave and return is something like 2 minutes.

There are presumably other ways to do it. I was comfortable with just sticking to the Lava Titan and not bothering with urns so I didn't go in depth to finding out about it. You'll get more information about it if you ask while you're in the LRC.


Citing is a blast! Well done for your fantastic midterm results :D

Thank you, Steven. Very helpful--I too thought that Lava Titan would be best, so I'll just stick with it.

After this Thursday, I'll be on Spring Break! You have no idea how excited I am, haha. My Uni doesn't have a Fall Break, so this is the second break we get, besides Winter of course. :P

Anyway! Of course I'll have some side goals to complete, but we all know how those will go down..

-Reach 50M Farming XP.
- Reach 90 Mining, currently lvl 87.
- Complete the quest Regicide and then complete the quest Catapult Construction to get Ardy cloak 3. I've been putting this one off for a long time now.

Even though I have a week off, I'm sure I'll get 2/3 of them completed. Although I have an exam to study for over break.

~~

On a side note, did anyone else notice that the in-game font has been changed to Calibri? Don't ask me how I know that. O_o
