zzboots Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This is a ramble regarding what led to my question (feel free to skip it and look and the question below): This past week I had a few items to alch. Instead of standing in a bank or somewhere else irrelevant, I decided to head to the hero's guild and mine some runite as I alched. Of course it was full of many world hoppers, looking for mineable ore. However, I began to notice a weird pattern by a few miners. Some miners were able to log in to the world just as the ore was respawning. I know what you are thinking, they are expert miners who have the respawn times down to the point where they can server hop and mine ore successfully. Granted, I believe it and saw some individuals successfully do this. The problem, however, lies in individuals who were able to log in for the first time and mine the ore. In other words, they had not previously been on the server so they could not have known when the ore was last mined. Even if they were hopping based upon trends on other servers, I generally was in a busy world that would not match with the adjacent worlds. This was not a huge problem, a majority of the miners seemed to be random loggins or else those world hopping in a pattern. But in a few cases, random individuals showed up in perfect sync without me seeing them during the previous spawn. In one case, I was talking to a miner and after I told him I had just mined the ore a few minutes prior, he began to argue with me saying that it was about to spawn, in which case it did. (So I might have been trying to fib to him. :oops: ) But the point is that he had no way to tell the ore would be returning soon but waited and agrued against my statement, he had not been on the server any time before for previous spawns. I'm sorry if my post is a bit rambly and confusing, but my question is this: Is it possible for individuals to know when items like rune ore spawn on the different worlds?

Dexek Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 It is roughly possible. The ores do have specific spawn time but it can be altered by the number of people on the servers. At certain times of the day, most of the servers are equally populated, so yes, it is possible to time it almost perfectly. Most of my friends roughly time it with an egg timer, lol. I'm glad I just have to wait a few seconds for a fire giant to respawn. :roll: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 One said that the maths are just a part of it. If any runite miner passing by could at least tell me via pm what the trick is. I think I got the trick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkmanX99 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Is this really a huge deal? How long do they take to respawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our_Moon Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ~Mine the Ore from World G, write down the time, then do World H, write down the time, World I, write down the time... Etc etc etc. After like 10 minutes or whatever the respawn is, go back, and repeat.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borschwicz Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 When you find a rock that has rune ore in it in world A, mine it, and start a timer, when the timer gets to 20 minutes (I think thats still the time) then go back to world A and mine it again. |Barrows Drops-7|Dragon Drops-5| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
