AshXQ Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi there! All of you probably don't know me, but I'd like to share something I've been thinking about for a while. I've always liked to mine, in fact, it yields my highest level out of all skills. The problem is, the level isn't even that great to be honest (63)... so I decided to try to get a level 99 mining stat. This, is obviously going to take A LOT of time and effort, not to mention how tedious it is to do. I started my planning by using one of the Rune Tip calculators. The numbers were astronomical; talk about discouraging. I figured before I give up, I should at least estimate the outcomes. The fastest thing to mine: Rune/Pure Essence (I'm a member, so it's pure) 2,529,146 to Lv. 99 Mining If I use Pure Essence, I'd craft them into either chaos or cosmics, but chaos is more practical because I wouldn't be able to enchant 2,529,146 things. 2,529,146 chaos runes = Lv. 99 Rune Craft I have to use those chaos runes for something... 2,529,146 wind bolts (air staff + chaos runes) = Lv. 99 Magic Uh... the outcome isn't bad, eh? Time is the key issue though. Do I really want to spend FOREVER doing this? I calculated the mining part of it, as I cannot calculate any others until I finish. I have estimated my ability to mine about 100 essence for every 4 or 5 minutes (while running). 100 essence x 5 minutes = 1200 per hour I need 2,529,146 essence... 2,529,146 / 1200 = 2107.6 (approx.) hours! It depends on how many hours I play per day, but if I were to be really serious about it (and have enough time for homework and other real life stuff) 2107.6 hrs / 3 hrs per day = 702.5 (approx.) hours for every 3 days 702.5 / 24 hours (1 day) = about 29 days. A month! Only a month! Think I can do it? I certainly hope so. Wish me luck! Status in avatar~ P.S., I'm interested in agility too. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inxxxflamesxxx Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 GOod LUCK man!! i have a goal similar to this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nul_Oblivion Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I wish you the best of luck. But then again, you most likely won't be running the entire way every time unless you decide to drink Energy Potions or something. Therefore, it'll most likely take you a month and a half or more. Believe me, it's tough to give 100% of your attention to something like Mining all the time. Especially when it's over 2 million Pure Essence. Sorry if I'm sounding negative. I'm just trying to throw in a little bit more reality into the equation. Once again, good luck! Retired Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshXQ Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Nah, you aren't being negative at all, but thanks for reminding me... I won't be able to run ALL the time. I think I'll pick up some energy pots. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll pick up some energy pots. Thanks for the idea. You may also want to hang onto any Strange Fruit you get from the Strange Plant random event. Those restore a portion of your energy as well as Purple Sweets you can get from level 2 Clue Scrolls. Retired Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You in fact actually have 702.5 days... Sorry, but you math is wrong... :? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsGuy Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't know, but I divided his hours by 24 to get 81.816 days if he goes every hour of the day...was that what he was trying to do? if he only divides it by 3 then he has that many days.

compfreak847 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Not sure what you're trying to do, but your math is wrong. It's 702.5 DAYS, which is almost 2 years. :shock: Good luck I guess... If you really want to mine, go with drop mining iron. Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshXQ Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 My math isn't wrong; it's a simple conversion. To convert hours into days, you divide by ONE DAY, in hours, which is 24. I divided by 3 first because I divided my load of work into 3 hours per day, and then I calculated the day. It would not take 700+ days; are you completely and utterly mad?! If it takes THAT long, how did Zezima manage to get Lv. 99 construction in less than 2 months (if not sooner)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craven_range Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 your math is infact, wrong. let me do it another way 1200*3 = 3600 ess per day PER DAY (thats 3 hours of mining 1.2k per hour) ok so your getting 3600 essence per day and you need 2,529,146 2,529,146 / 3600 essence (per day) = 702.54055555555555555555555555556 Round it down because the last day you might wanna do the last 1600 essence = 702 DAYS which equals about 1 year and 10 months Happy mining =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecube Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 It's simple dimensional analysis... (2107.6 hours / 1) * (1 day / 3 hours) = 702.3 days And that's it... You can't go any further. You currently have 702.3 in days and you can't just magically divide by 24 to get days again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MINIMUM amount of days, mining 1200 ess per hour, playing every minute of 24 hours a day, running every trip, is 88 days of NON STOP playing 24 HOURS A DAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craven_range Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 If it takes THAT long, how did Zezima manage to get Lv. 99 construction in less than 2 months (if not sooner)? and firstly, your not zezima secondly construction is not mining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes THAT long, how did Zezima manage to get Lv. 99 construction in less than 2 months (if not sooner)? dude dude dude....you're way off... FIRST OF ALL, mining is COMPLETELY different than construction! How could you even compare the two in the same time frame?! If you have a TON of money, construction is one of the fastest skills to level. Second of all, with your calculations, it would actually take 88 days (YES 88!) of PLAYING FOR 24 hours a day! Now i doubt that will happen, so rethink your math a little, and if your not a very hard working player, I'd rethink your goals. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahote Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Not to mention that in general, people who get to level 99s in skills do it using the most efficient/fastest way. This, my friend, is far from it. Either power mine iron or granite if you are member. You will realize that the numbers are MUCH less "astronomical." As others have said, happy mining.

craven_range Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 i dont even know why you would mine ess to level 99.. plenty of better options 2,533,167 Rune Essence 2,533,167 Clay 723,762 Copper 723,762 Tin 477,956 Limestone 361,881 Iron 316,646 Silver 253,317 Coal 2,533,167 Pure Essence 211,098 Sandstone 194,859 Gem Rock 194,859 Gold 253,317 Granite(tiny) 211,098 Granite(small) 168,878 Granite(medium) 158,323 Mithril 133,325 Adamantite 101,327 Runite they are your options your in for ALOT of mining mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshXQ Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 2107.6hr / 3hr per day 'Per' is also written as division. Miles PER hour is mph, or m/h. Kilometers PER hour is k/h. So: 2107.6hr / 3hr / 1 day (24hrs) Keyword: ORDER OF OPERATIONS (2107.6 hours / 1) * (1 day / 3 hours) = 702.3 days Dividing the hours by 1 is irrational, since it equals 2107.6. Also, it's not 1 day for every 3 hours, it's the other way around. If you flip a fraction (which is the same as division), it is most likely a different answer; obviously it would be the same in some cases whereas the numerator and denominator are the same, or if there's a 0 in the fraction, but in most cases, if you flip a division problem, the answer is completely different. You did the problem wrong. =( Edit: i dont even know why you would mine ess to level 99.. plenty of better options Um, I want to raise other stats in the process?

Inuashakent Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sorry... he did it right... Ok, I'll make it simple for you. You have 2,100 hours of work to do. You do 3 hours a day... how many hours do you work? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecube Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 It's the same thing, if you're dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction. The way you're doing it, 2106.7 / 3hr / 1 day, you still get the same answer... 702.3 days, not hours. You already canceled your hours out. And I divided by 1 to make it easier for you to see how the units canceled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craven_range Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 and i bet everyone else who posted will bet everything they own too. you are wrong. sorry mate but there is no way around it your mining for 700 days however you look at it not even your "fancy" maths talk will get you out of this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craven_range Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 you said your going to be mining 3 hours a day. so however you put it, your getting 3600 ess per day in review 3600 essence per day over 30 days is 108k ess.. not quite enough i would say.. not by a long way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
