81 Mining Progress from 80: +27 +13 +6 +3 +1,103 +667 +660 +237 +0 Looks like I've started geting as many Mithril than Gold, was expecting the ratio of ores to be similar across all levels.
I personally enjoy the concept of full loot pvp. However Darkscape does it extremely poorly. There isn't much incentive to PvP. Deadman mode coming out in OSRS (Today i think?) Is much more intriguing with the loss of XP on death, bank access of those you've slain and no penalty for attacking skulled players.
You don't HAVE to claim the defence xp, however completing monkey madness and claiming the XP allows you to complete Recipe For Disaster completely and unlock Barrows Gloves which are best in slot, even for main accounts.
