MXIIA Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 World: 20... Where: Al-Kharid Mine/Chasm Mine [http] Who is needed: At least 3 PowerMiners and at least 5 People that want Iron Ore. What happens: The PowerMiners will trade one of the people that wants Iron and give them somewhere from 20-28 Iron ores. The People that want the Iron Ore will then run to the bank (Duel Arena). They will then get into a friendly duel with one of the other people that want the ore (To restore run energy). They will then run back and get more ore... Rinse and repeat. Reasons people may want free iron ore: Superheat (you make about 20 gp profit if you don't pay for the iron), Raise smithing level. To sell for profit. What do you all think of this?

frigginacky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I believe the trade limit will catch up to you eventually. Other than that, it seems it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MXIIA Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yea, I figured that, You could make somewhere from 3-5 runs in 15 minutes, that wouldn't be too bad. I really want to do this on my Pure, because I'm trying to make a bit of money while raising my Magic level, and mining 2000 iron ores will take too long. I just want to see if people like the idea, maybe later, after I finish my biology project, I will see if i can find people to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racheya Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Interesting. I have thought that running could be applied to more than just Runecrafting. It's quicker to trade away the ore than spend time dropping it. Nice idea, I'd be very interested to see how this turns out. I'm always up for a bit of mining. I edit for the [Tip.It Times].

Lacesso Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If you have a 10k trade limit on a free world (recharging at 10k in 15 minutes). It's 2,856gp for 28 iron ores. This means you would have to take runs at 4.2 minutes each (so a rate of just under 400 ores per hour for the runner). With half the trade limit (Which is the absolute LOWEST), you would only get about 190 ores every hour. So as long as you have 20-25k+ trade limit, it will probably recharge by the time you can run to the bank and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Runar Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I did this before the trade limits with my lvl 3 miner in Varrock West. Much faster than dropping ores.

Hippodo Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sounds nice, free iron ore whenever you pass by, and it's faster for powerminers :thumbsup: Due to my epic stats, I have now started WGS (but I still hate spoilers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Everyone is saying the trade limit kills this, but think about it. A miner will be able to give approximately 600 ore every 15 minutes, that's 2.4k ore per hour. That's more than plenty. The only problem is that the runners probably wouldn't have a very high trade limit, so assume it's around 15k, you'd need a hell of a lot of runners just for 1 person. Not to mention the competition between the miners. ~It's Super Effective!

AndJusticeForOne Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sorry to beat a dead horse, but the trade limits would definitely be a problem. Other than that, perfect :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXIIA Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for all the feedback. MUCH better than GameFAQs http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=562728&topic=48580969 I don't know why I go there lol.. I realize the trade limit will be a problem. And assuming I do this in a free world (as both of my accounts are f2p), I would think the extra dueling time would add to the 15 minutes, so you would have to wait at most 1 or 2 minutes. Also, there could be some sort of junk used to help offset the trade limit, like noted items of some sort, ones that any player can obtain easily... Can't think of any at this time..., but if used correctly, when the miner drops it another person with a used up trade limit could then pick it up and use it.

cirdec Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Look out, if this actually works then Jagex will stop restoring running energy from duels. Obviously, they took out BTS because it was used in RWT, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MINER'S limit isn't the problem. The problem is that the average RUNNER'S limit will be so low that the ratio would probably be something like 6:1. ~It's Super Effective!

Ilikejockin Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmm, you could test it out and see if the trade limit would catch up with you. Nice idea with the duel though, smart. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
