Beating them to the rock

Featured Replies

There is just one thing about going for 99 mining that really gets to me. Competition. I can handle the boredom, That's nothing. But when I can't progress because all the good spots are taken and I don't want to waste time running back and forth because someone comes along and starts evicting me, that's when I get ready to give up.

 

 

 

I want to know my options (excluding give up)

 

How can I successfully outmine them most of the time?

 

Is it better to just avoid them for slower spawns?

 

etc.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance fellow tipiters ::'

Learn the respawn time of the rocks the other person is occupying. Most of the times, if you click first you'll get the ore, and if you do that many times in a row people get pissed and leave.

 

Otherwise, go for uncommon spawns, like in the wilderness or quest related mines.

If you want a good place to mine, with little to no competition, I suggest the Steel Mine.

 

It is located in Level 7 wildy, north of Edgeville.

 

Since it is Level 7 wildy, almost no revenants will bother you.

 

And since the spot is in the wildy, nearly no one will mine there.

 

 

 

The only con is the Level-25 skeletons, but they are easily killed, even with a rune pickaxe.

 

I got 63 to 65 mining there. Good luck on your mining! :thumbsup:

If you're P2P, go for one of the secluded quest mines, like underneath the Grand Tree. :)

I don't see many people at the neitznot mine.

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

I heard that keeping the Pick Axe in your Inventory instead of having it Equiped can give you 6% better chance of getting the Ore when mining against someone else.

He wants to know what to do to keep people from stealing the rocks he was at. (I sure hope the OP is a guy.) But like it was said, try to go to a nice secluded area to mine.

Memorizing the spawn times can be helpful, but is only really worth it if you aren't training for exp (ex, easy to learn spawn time on mith/addy/rune: not so easy on iron/coal.) Mostly, just find a more secluded spot. Wild mines (As said above, steel mine can be good, depending on your combat lvl) and quest-related mines are usually good too.
