Hajutze Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 ^ Topic name.Recently I got few Living Rocks tasks and I am amazed how many people just leave those things lieing around ... it takes 1-2 swings to mine them and you can get 300k gp per hour from .. doing literally nothing at all.

transcript80 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's exactly why I do. Even scavenge for nearby remains. Too bad there's a 1 minute delay for remains you didn't kill. It does slow you down when you are slaying them as a task, so if you want speedy kills, I can imagine people leave them be. Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...

Star. Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hells yeah. Although I only did half of my LRC task before going back to kuradel and cancelling it. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Halo Chief Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I love LRC tasks specifically for this reason. My guess is the slayers who leave it can't mine it. I camped granite for a few days getting 68-73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 At 90 mining with a dpick it takes me substantially longer than 1 or 2 swings on average to mine living rock creatures. Skipping the long death animation by going to attack another rock creature and transitioning back to them in fortuitous situations, I was still averaging 6~ seconds wasted. The xp rate of the task wouldn't be attractive to me if I mined them. So yeah, I leave em. Interactive dungeoneering floor mapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes!Although I just go there to kill them from time-to-time, not even on a slayer task, it's silly how many people leave valuable loot on the ground in favor of more XP/hour. It takes a few seconds to mine the remains, even at a sort-of decent mining level. It's extra stupid, come to think of it. Because most of these players nullify their additional XP gains anyway by hanging 'round the GE, even if it is to gear and pot up for the next task. You play for fun, not for a statistics exam. Seriously :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Schmoe Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yes, always. Like Ragmar12345 said, this is one of the biggest reasons why living rock creatures are one of my all-time favorite slayer tasks. Plus, I'm not a powerslayer. I'm in no rush.

AndrewP Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'm not high enough mining yet. After I get hunter (in 30k exp), I'll powermine granite to 80 then do LRC gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooferfish Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I mine them. I've only had one task, but I mined! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Why should I consider 300k/h good, and no I don't mine them. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafftank Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I haven't had them as a task yet, but I hear a good method is if you are using a cannon, to leave the cannon attacking another one while you quickly mine the remains. This is obviously slightly slower than just leaving them, but the loot can make the task slightly profitable, with only a small time loss (Assuming you don't mind doing LRC tasks :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirIzenhime Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I found the tasks too long a boring, so I don't even do them. Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night_Tied Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I can't be bothered so I just leave them. Although it does kinda make it harder to see the drops. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've never had them for a slayer task, but if I kill one when I'm there, I'm inclined to mine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I definitely mine mine (ugh gotta be a better way to say that) and other people's as well.
