Theoknight2 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Do want those high crafting and mining levels that everyone seems to have these days, but just can't seem to find a decent place to train? Or maybe, you just want profit with some exp on the side. Either way, have I got a place for you! What is it, you say. Why, the Shilo Gem Mines! What you have to have to mine here Shilo village quest done 40 mining Recomended Semi high crafting and fletching lvls to cut and make into bolt tips the gems Karamja diary done, for access to the secret gem mines How to get there Its not that hard to figure out where the routes are coming from. Red from karamja, blue from gloves, brown from carts etc. What you will need Spottier cape and boots of lightness for lightening our load Amulet of glory to speed up the pace Rune pickaxe in hand for one extra inventory space Karamja Gloves 3 for handy teleporting back to mines from bank or anywhere Neitiznot helm because its my lucky item :P Chisel for cutting gems and making bolt tips Rest of inventory preferably free ( maybe a slot-saver if wanted) Note* the gems and cash are from a load I had just finished. Exp Charts I don't actually have the exp rates for making bolt tips, but it's probably not much. FAQ You keep saying stuff about bolt tips, what do you mean? Well, on a normal load, I get maybe 2 rubies and maybe a diamond. That leaves 24 unwanted gems. Instead of just banking all those I don't want, I cut them into bolt tips so they stack, to sell to the general store later. OMG! I don't have the skills to finish the Karamja Diary! Your guide is useless! No, not really. All the things I have talked about in this guide can be applied to the gem rocks aboveground. Note* there are also gem rocks in Lunar Isle. Due to poular demand, here is a map of the underground gem mines: most pictures courtesy of tip.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurmskin Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 And I heard you had a friend help you finish off the last Achievement Diary task :wink: . Good guide, but you might want some information regarding the hourly crafting and mining experience. 9/10 for now :-$ ^ Refresh for a new signature ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohbilleh Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Its a nice guide 9/10 Im wondering if this is very profitable. I have access to the underground rocks and no one is there ever and i was wondering how much money i would make from this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoknight2 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 well i usually get 10+ rubies and 6+ gems each trip. I dunno exactly how much this is, but its probably at least 30k. then you get maybe 2k from bolt tips, so about 32k each run (probably more don't know uncut diamond and ruby prices). I can mine about 750 gems in an hour so around 50k mining experience and crafting and fletching experience depends on the gems you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Nice straightforward guide :) Personally, I hang on to the shilo gems as well. A nice easy way to buy trading sticks. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatebringer Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Decent guide, has every point of information you really need to know what to do. The underground mine is also a nice touch, but maybe add a bit more info on the underground mine, and a few tips on how to plan your path to each gem outcrop to maximize the time used mining gems. One other thing would be the preferred mining level to start using this method. Other than those few things, everything is pretty good. 8/10 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontpk Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I would post how many sapphire and up a trip makes, how long the trip is about and an approximate xp/hour for mining. You should also do this with people of varying lvls, and also if there is a level where you can one hit them like iron add that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoknight2 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 if im unlucky its maybe a second, but otherwise it is one hitted. think of it like this. if you can mine gold fast, you can mine gems fast too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUELMASTER30 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 9/10, very nice guide, and theres a way you can mine the gems even faster. You know how a charged glory makes getting gems more likely on normal rocks? it makes it an almost instant mine on gem rocks if you wear a charged glory, so you usually get the gem before most people who arent wearing a glory :-$ [hide=99s]47,297th to 99 Attack, 12/10/0847,898th to 99 Hitpoints, 3/29/0978,286th to 99 Strength, 4/5/0936,125th to 99 Range, 6/7/09, 12:30 in the morning.70,280th to 99 Defence, 4/16/1067,781st to 99 Magic, 8/13/10Somethingth to 99 Slayer on some day during the Summer (I forgot to write it down)169,099th to 99 Cooking , 4/9/11Idk what to 99 fm at some pointIdk what to 99 prayer on 1/28/2012?? 99 thieving 12/30/2015?? 99 herblore 1/2/2016, ?? 99 dungeoneering 9/5/2016[/hide]Even if it's a dumb story, telling it changes other people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me.
