strength xp from mining?

[lpinkus]

Not to be picky...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but I always found it curious that no strength xp is given while mining. You get a nominal amount of mining xp while mining for rune essence, so why not a nominal amount of strength xp while mining in general. I assume JAGeX doesn't want strength stats out of proportion, but it seems logical that swinging a heavy pick and driving it into rocks would make one stronger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, I'm not looking for an easy way to raise my strength level, I just found this curious.

You'd think. Really it should be a combo between str/att, but go figure. Same for woodcutting. I guess it's because they want you to get those stats in combat since they are 'combat stats.

oh just go eat pie or something, you worthless piece of pie!

[Veiva]

No, it would ruin the powernoobs! think of the power noobs.

[landlubber]

i don't think that str xp should be given while mining. when your mining lvl gets higher then you can mine better.

 

 

 

and some people don't want to raise combat lvls.

Well, it would be realistic if certain skills gave exp towards strength. But then again, balance is more important than realism.

YEA some pkers wana stay at the same lvl. or like me, im lvl 3 with almost all stats lvl 40 i wouldnt want my mining lvl 40 and have my str up, i wouldnt be lvl 3 anymore !

i suggested this a long time back, but it would give miners and unfair advantage, and reasons of what ppl said before

[Deaners1212]

I can understand where you're coming from but still, it wouldn't be that great to implement into the game. Especially with woodcutting, you just cut trees like willows and up, until the tree is cut down or your inventory is full.

Dudes and dudettes, above all, remember that runescape is just a game. Everything in it is a game and it was never meant to be realistic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Nuff said.

[edge0303]

not a good idea.

yea, i mean, we've all seen those lumberjacks. they're huge!

some dude said something about those power noobs.... i got 1... i dont want him gettin stronger i like it when ppl realise that a lvl 3 noob has a higher wc than them....

yupp, thats why no str exp should be given out

 

 

 

Another thing that would seem logical is why arnt the anvils and furnaces close....

Well on the matter of getting XP by other methods, i think you should be able to gain attack and strength xp by a method other then actually hand-to-hand fighting the monster. Defense xp can be gained by ranging and using a staff - something like this should be done for attack and str too.. imo.

[Predator]

Mining and strength are one of the top skills to raise I think, that would make the game cheap kind of if you could raise both while mining, things would get out of hand and there would be lots of strength characters.

Then why not mining xp when you train strenght?

[Themonkey78]

Saradomin is watching you neglect RS-Classic. And he's crying. :cry:

And guthix is laughing at him :lol:

 

 

 

(on topic) power noobs......think of them.....

[Themonkey78]

........

[minkis18]

that would be bad becuase its like defence training with magic. i accept the idea

Um, because swinging a pickaxe requires muscle, but swinging a sword at an enemy is not swinging a pickaxe at a rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, this is not an idea I want implemented. I posted to start a discussion. I didn't realize there were miners who didn't want to raise their attack level, actually. So I did learn something!

I would loooove to know what this means, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my topic. However, I bake pie in real life all the time, so if you were trying to insult me, too bad. All it did was raise my real-life cooking level. :)

wut about change the mining system into the WC system, juss like we chop willows, we can keep chopping until the trees is down or inventory is full.it's really tired to keep on clicking and dropping while u are doing power mining.

i was wondering why energy is not decreasing when ur mining (cuz its hard work, much like running is)

 

 

 

but now u have answered me with ur question. u have no str xp cuz ur energy is not wasted (like when ur running)

 

 

 

but sure u can have str xp from mining - ever met the piece of clay, they call golem? kill it, u will get some str xp :)

well you have a good point, but still i think you should have str xp when you just plan out mine
