Mining Spawn Times

Featured Replies

OK I'm not sure if this is the right forum so no flaming if I'm in the wrong place please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone know the spawn times for the different mineable items in Runescape? I know that world population changes the spawn rate but these are my estimates on a world of about 1000 players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Essence: N/A

 

 

 

Copper: 4 seconds

 

 

 

Tin: 4 seconds

 

 

 

Iron: 8 seconds

 

 

 

Silver: 92 seconds

 

 

 

Coal: 45 seconds

 

 

 

Gold: 91 seconds

 

 

 

Mithril: 193 seconds

 

 

 

Adamant: 370 seconds

 

 

 

Rune: I'm Unable to mine. Please leave data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems that each step takes about 2x as much time as the step before it. Addy takes almost twice as long as mith and assumably rune takes about twice as long as addy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will update as information comes in.

i **Think** that rune is around 5 minutes give or take.

Population of world also effects respawn rate!

Rune cant be 5 minutes because addy is over 6 min. The population of the world does affect the respawn but that's why at the end I said it's about 2x as long. No matter the original respawn rate, the next ore will be 2x as long of a respawn. :)

As said by Cmon, the population of a world significantly changes the spawn rate, the slowest i've seen coal spawn at is around a minute and a half, double your estimation! :shock:

I think rune takes about 10 minutes to spawn.

as i have been mining alot recently iv noticed that there is an average respawn time but also the other rocks affect when you get the rock you are mining, if you dont understand that i mean i generally seem to 'get' the ore when another rock or ore respawns in the same area, also sometimes can 2 people get the same ore from 1 rock? in my experiance, yes

That could be the respawn rate of rune on a heavily populated world, whilst your calculations for runite may have been on an unpopulated world.

i already waited a rune rock back in heroes guild after mining it...dam...it took arround 15 mins, not joking. Im not sure about 15 mins but i checked the clock and it was more then 10 mins

addy takes 4 mins 30 secs (i always thought it was 5 mins) runite takes 30 mins to respawn
