April 16, 200719 yr 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.
April 16, 200719 yr It should, but you can answer your own question. Grab a rune and bronze picks and time how long a load takes.
April 16, 200719 yr Im pretty sure it does, but its not an impressive difference Quest cape obtained at combat level 83, march 07.
April 17, 200719 yr 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.

April 17, 200719 yr 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.
April 17, 200719 yr 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.
April 17, 200719 yr Author Ok thanks. Im pretty sure it cant smoke but I saw a golem in there attacking this guy. I think its just rare.
