Granite Mining with SC Pickaxes

[Jacks0n]

I just visited RuneWiki to try and find out how many sc pickaxes I would need for 85 mining. I need 1,914,526 XP from 76-85.

 

 

 

RuneWiki says it's "about 15,000" xp per pickaxe.

 

 

 

So 1914529 / 15000 = 128 pickaxes.

 

 

 

OK, now to my questions.

 

 

 

- Would it really be worth it getting all those pickaxes for this?

 

- Is this information accurate/correct?

 

- If not, what is the actual information?

 

 

 

Thanks a bunch.

Someone has posted a few times on the Screenshot thread, and states that he's been getting on average about 17k/pickaxe. So you'll need 113 picks.

 

 

 

Here's why I don't think it's worth it:

 

 

 

You can get about 50k xp/hour mining granite. Without SC pickaxes, it'd take you about 38 hours. With SC pickaxes, it'd take you 19 hours.

 

 

 

You can get about 100 points per hour in skill SC. That's 5 picks/hour. It'd take you about 22.5 hours to get the pickaxes.

 

 

 

Total time without SC pickaxes: 38 hours.

 

Total time with SC pickaxes: 41.5 hours.

Another thing to factor is though. Would OP rather spend the 22.5 hours to play SC and get tools or spent 19 more hours mining?

There's no possible way I could factor in OPs preferences, as I don't know them :D
