Th3 Crusader's guide to power mining Granite! Updated 2-5

Recommended Posts

I have a couple of small tips related to this..

 

 

 

1) Keep random event food, kebabs, triangle sandwiches etc.

 

2) Go with full prayer.

 

 

 

If your water skins run out its suprising how much longer you can stay there with just a couple of bits of naff food and the 'rapid heal' prayer.

for the people done Varrock diary - they can bring the armour (at least second lvl is needed for granite). you drink more frequently (no desert robe top), but you get 2 ores on occasion - and experience is given for the extra ore.

 

 

 

the guide sais - granite is the best exp/h, but i am not 100% sure.

 

tested both granite and iron powermining and both methods were pretty close. (I could not do an exact measurement due to several distractions)

 

do you have exp/h for iron?

 

 

 

one plus of granite powermining is - less clicking, because it is a bit slower than iron and in the end less stressfull on the fingers :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's possible to get almost 50k xp/hr mining iron.

i managed 52,540 exp/hour with iron, 35 more with granite :P

 

 

 

But, theres also another method

 

very close to your mining spot, there is a spot with 2 granite and 2 sandstone next to each other (1 square off, for walking space) pretty much like this: (G granite S sandstone)

 

G S

 

G S

 

 

 

I mined G, S, S, G, dropped all, and in that time, after dropping last 1, new G appears there, you click on it and repeat.

 

This gave me 52k exp per hour entire 97-98 :wink:

 

 

 

just my 2 cents ::'

Shouldnt u wield a staff to save runes, and keep your pik in your inventory?But still, informative. You might want tro include xp per hour at x lvl.

I don't understand how you people are getting 50k+/hour power mining!!

 

 

 

Mining is my main skill, so I try to keep track of everything and I've timed how much XP I am getting per minute and it is no where NEAR 50k/hour:

 

 

 

Granite

 

Time Experience

 

19- 11,090

 

41- 21,095

 

43- 28,120

 

39- 20,125

 

54- 33,015

 

40- 22,940

 

11- 7,200

 

26- 15,435

 

30- 17,525

 

19- 9,465

 

9- 5,525

 

Total:

 

331 (minutes) 191,535 (experience)

 

That averages out at 579 xp / minute which is 34,719 xp per hour.

 

 

 

I sit by the two granite rocks you showed and mine them until full and then really quickly drop them all (I'm pretty dang fast at dropping, btw), and then I continue mining (if I missed like 1 or two dropping, ignore them and just keep mining, waste of time to go back and drop them)..

 

 

 

 

 

And for powermining iron with 3 rocks and then dropping OR having a friend drop them for me (was paying him 1k/minute to drop for me :D)...

 

Time Experience

 

28- 13,895

 

14- 8,590

 

28- 13,615

 

45- 21,000

 

Total:

 

115 (minutes) 57,100 (experience)

 

 

 

That averages to 497 xp / minute, which is like 30k xp /hour powermining iron...

 

 

 

All of this mining was at level 80+, so I doubt that it a problem.

 

 

 

I am level 3, so my pickaxe is in my inventory when I mine (it is rune, too).

 

 

 

 

 

What am I doing wrong?!?!?! :evil:

Nice guide, Crusader!!!! :thumbsup: <3: I might consider using it, but I'm weird and don't like getting just exp from a skill that could be used to raise other skills or make money. :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extra tip: You can also wear an ava accumulator there. :XD:

 

 

 

For what? :-s

 

Free arrows are ftw. :XD:

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are only 10 types of people

in this world: those who understand

binary and those who don't.

This statement is false.

Slave Robes are better in the desert for heat than regular desert robes.

 

 

 

They are from the quest Tourist Trap.

 

 

 

You can get them back from a slave in the camp by trading him for regular desert robes.

 

Okay I'll add, thanks :D

Just wondering, is there a way to do it without Humidity? Like is there a place nearby that you can buy waterskins?

 

You'll have to stock up on waterskins (4) at shanty and bank everytime your 20ish waterskins are used up after about 1-2 hours.

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.
