Gem Rocks

Featured Replies

So I'm minning in shilo vilage at the gem rocks. I have 73 mining, an obsidian golem, and a rune pick. I was doing alright, until a guy comes up with a mith pick and 42 mining. He's beating me out on almost all of the rocks, I;m getting about 2 out of 7 of the rocks. How is this possible? Does level and type of pick axe not matter?

They do matter, but luck still plays a big factor.

If he has a charged glory and you don't, that helps him, although I wouldn't think it would be THAT much.

Glories only improve odds of getting gems as tht added extra when mining. They don't boost mining speed at gem rocks.

... that mining Gems while wearing a charged Amulet of Glory , significantly decreases the number of "hits" you need to get the Gem? Someone 10 levels higher without a Glory will lose the race with someone who HAS a charged Glory. (Thanks to The Tal Shiar Alliance!)

 

This is the second item in the DYK archives.

The tip.it times do you knows?

 

Many of them have been proven to be flawed and pure false.

 

Unfortunately they are hard to produce so tip.it rely on user submissions and can rarely 100% check and certify their truth.

Note that this supposed "fact" is in nowhere infered or written in ANY fansite guides or in the rs kb

I got a charged glory amulet now and I'm doing great and beating everyone. It made a big change.

Perhaps this is a rumor worth investigating? :P

 

 

 

Definately, I went from having my worlds taken from me to being able to take worlds just by changing my amulet.

Charged glory amulet makes gem rock mining MUCH faster.
