O_M_G_Guasto Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well I used to enjoy Mining, and I still do somewhat. I'm still dead set on my goals. But the engine update made Mining worse, from what I can see... -Rock respawn rates do not change no matter how many people are in the world. -You can no longer 1-hit Granite as far as I can tell, mined hundreds and hundreds of them and my pick will usually always hit the rock once, otherwise multiple times. -This skill is click-based, and the servers respond slowly now, I click and my avatar responds seconds later. I have a very fast computer and good internet connection, so I know for a fact that isn't it. This may effect other skills, aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oops1644 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I am also an avid miner, but i have not noticed any major change in mining or any other skill Never argue with an idiot - it only drags you down to there level, where he then beats you with experience.completed Underground Pass at level 52!

Kiriyama Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm more concerned about the the scroll bar bar on chat box and how the send a private message screen looks when you type in the message. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlordjl Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I am more concerned about how monsters move diagonally, now. It complicates DKing and especially the Fight Caves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primeaction Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 with every action, there is an opposite reaction. i think newton said taht :oops: :P neway, yea i dont like how the game engine changed mining but its not that bad if u think about it. i dont really mind it. its something really small. Not all F2Pers are beggars or scammers, some are respected members, but these respected people are over-populated by these beggar and scammers.

nerdattack16 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 who cares, mining is a stupid useless skill. Do you know any skill that gives you materials worth up to 12k each from absolutely nothing? I thought so. And I haven't noticed anything new with mining. Sig credit goes to ThruItAll. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathgenius50 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Mining is a very difficult skill that is dieing. The only way I can see it comming back is if the added a drop all. #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primeaction Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 mining is only fast cash if ur a member, you are in that certain guild with the rocks in it (sry i dont know the name cuz im f2p and i dont really care :oops: ), and if ur 85 mining. of course that takes a while to get to but once u get it, u deserve making 350-400k an hour Not all F2Pers are beggars or scammers, some are respected members, but these respected people are over-populated by these beggar and scammers.

darkpoet837 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Mining is sertonly not useless, it is one of the most fun non combat skills in my opinion. Think about it....what other skill can you train that all you need is the main lvs to do it? The only cost that can occur from mining is the pick, and you can make that up VARY fast. No skill is useless, and each skill has its own perpose....It is just up to you to find the use. If you are ignorant and think if a skill is not for you is useless, make your own rant about it..not waste space on someone elses rant. -.- [hide]Come, be my light.Mingle with my darknessMay we mix to createOur own twilight sunsetThe dusk breezeSpreading cloudsOn our murky horizon~Darkpoet837~[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mico Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I agree, mining is by far useless. First of all, how can you use your 91+ runecrafting level without mining? Sure sure, buying it but if everyone agreed with you, where would the rune essences come from? But there is nothing wrong with your oppinion, just don' t go on flaming people and telling them that it' s useless. I for one love mining and like runecrafting, but I don' t realy like to train that skill. And mining can be very profitable in two ways: making steel bars (train smithing along mining and you are 40 smithing quick) or mining runite ore. Belive me, I' ve made 300k in an hour with steel bars, as long as the mining guild is half full. And runite ores, whell, they' re 13k each and it takes you bout 30 min to mine a full load of runite ores at 85 mining. That' s about 700k an hour if you' re lucky, or 500k an hour average.

Cryptogram Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 who cares, mining is a stupid useless skill. Who cares what you think. This is not a thread about whether mining is useful or not. Anyway, I've certainly noticed the delay and there's nothing wrong with my connection...

Mico Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Actually I don' t see any difference, I mine normally, and I have a good connection. I mine coal in the mining guild btw. Maybe other ores are struck because coal is normal. RSN:Mico1311 Combat: 82 Highest skill: Fishing 75 Playing time: From around August 2003 The guy in my avatar is Veso, a comedian mastermind.

Amaranth_GTO Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I love mining, and hope that if what you said is true, then jagex will fix it. Right now, I'm working on 60 mining. who cares, mining is a stupid useless skill. All you need is 15 mining and a pickaxe and you can make an easy 100k if you have the patience to mine 1k iron ore. And when you get 30 mining and 30 smithing, you can sell the steel bars for around 550gp each. 30 mining doesn't even take long to get. 91 runecrafting takes a long time.

O_M_G_Guasto Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 m4tty, sounds like you have a terrible Mining level and no taste for what was the FIRST good money-maker in this game. Continue discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdb148 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 91+ rcing is the only decent money with skilling I can make 700k+ an hour rune mining. Useless? Check out this cool browser gladiator game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 91+ rcing is the only decent money with skilling so then where does the food you use when training combat come from? the arrows you use for ranged? the nats you alch with? skills are a lot better for money than combat, really as for this rant: people are ranting about everything, 'fletching is too easy now' 'fight caves are too hard' 'mining is too hard'... stay constant with rants now please? ----- where did all these ads come from???
