Wot Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I always used to think that granite was the best, but some internet sittes are saying iron is better for exp, is this true? 2,274th person to 99 mining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 No. Iron and Gold are popular power training methods. Gold as it is fast and profitable Iron as it is fast. However since the addition of granite this is by FAR the best fastest mining xp you can get. Many places would still recommend other methods due to granite being in the desert and the block sizes making an unsteady xp rate. However if your not overly fussed with being able to work out exact xp rates per hour and have an enchanted water tiara grnaite is by far the faster xp Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I prefer iron due it's easy to get a "flow" when mining iron. It's mining an ore. Click the next rock, have your mouse hoover on "drop" (on the iron ore you just mined) and click when you get the next iron ore. Repeat. Because you ALWAYS one hit iron (at least, when I powermined.. I was quite at a high level when I started) it's easy to maintain a dropping rhythm, without wasting time.

killer9823 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Iron is a good way. My friend found it to be around 45k an hour. He also found that gem mining (member) was good at 34k an hour plus money. 99 Fletch Achieved 1/1/2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo498 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A quick method that gives exp + profit is using the Spirit Kyatt. Just a bit north east to the Kyatt teleport is a mine with 3 iron rocks in a triangle. Just use a glory/ring of dueling to bank the ores and repeat.

Nefelia Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Depends on what you're willing to sacrifice for speed. I never went the iron route myself, since I found it to be too wasteful and more likely to lead to burn-out than more profitable methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremmy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 You could try banking the iron using a kyatt. It'll be slower, but you'll make some money.

Zaaps1 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Granite can reach 80k xp per hour. Iron can reach 45k xp per hour. You tell me. In addition, Shooting Stars are an excellent way to get mining xp and money. There's a link to my AoW Guide to Stars in my Sig, check it out if you are interested-it's very rewarding. ~It's Super Effective!
