Zamarko_Monk Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Does a better pickaxe influence the rate of getting rune essence? Because I always thought that the essence wasnt exactly a rock and it was so fast to get. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It should, but you can answer your own question. Grab a rune and bronze picks and time how long a load takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoe325 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Im pretty sure it does, but its not an impressive difference Quest cape obtained at combat level 83, march 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atronic92 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Each pick has a specific number of hits that it takes to mine one rune essence, regardless of your mining level. I believe that rune is 2.5, adamant is 3.5, mithril is 4.5, steel is 5.5, iron is 6.5, and bronze is 7.5. "We will certainly not be gaining money or members with this update.

icecube Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yea it does. I had my sister mine rune essence to train her mining up to 41 mining. Each time she got a new pickaxe, it was a bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomster Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Level and pickaxe both make a difference, but since it's not possible to compare 41 mining and bronze with 1 mining and rune :mrgreen: ..... Use the best pick you have, it does help, and I'd rather give away 1 space (if I can't wield) than use a lower grade pick. Also, rune essence cannot explode (check plz?) and for as long as I can remeber (since the pure ess update), I've not seen a golem there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamarko_Monk Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Ok thanks. Im pretty sure it cant smoke but I saw a golem in there attacking this guy. I think its just rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
