Michael Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 16-May-2011 Lava Flow Mine Players who have completed King of the Dwarves will already have seen the Lava Flow Mine, where the dwarves of Keldagrim have tapped into channels of liquid rock in order to power their citys machinery. The lava flows require constant tending to keep the power supply steady, and the new king has finally decided to let humans into the mine to help out. The Lava Flow Mine allows miners to gain a good rate of XP without producing any ore (although you have a chance of finding gems). You can mine anywhere in the area, but you get the maximum rate of XP by consulting the flow gauges and finding the place where the lava is flowing most slowly. A few random events will pop up from time to time, and keeping an eye out for them could net you additional rewards. Boilers will break, and you can fix them for Smithing XP if you have the required level. Mischievous ancestor spirits will make off with the dwarves pickaxes, and catching them will give you a temporary bonus to Mining XP in the area. If you help the Tzhaar hero on his endless quest to catch a lava monster, everyone in the area will have an increased chance of finding gems. Finally, the Liquid Gold Nymph may take pity on your dull clothes and give you pieces of an outfit so eye-achingly flamboyant that it grants a bonus to Mining XP everywhere in the world the complete outfit grants a total Mining XP bonus of 2.5%. Mod John ASenior RuneScape Content Developer Summary: Where to find the Lava Flow Mine:Go through the entrance in the east wall of Keldagrim. Requirements to use the Lava Flow Mine:Must have completed King of the Dwarves.Bring your own pickaxe. In other news...

The Soul Wars cape no longer causes players heads to stretch when wielded with a facemask. The dragon footprints in the tutorial no longer flicker.

The Skeletal Horror Task now appears in the Task List when not completed, instead of after being completed for the week.

IHasChicken Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks like a nice, simple, well-thought out activity that isn't useless, arbritrary, or annoying to play and should hopefully provide very decent high end Mining XP rates with small but noticeable incentives. ...did Jagex really design this...?

Jagerblue Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Required level 89 to fix and I got 5,850 Smithing Xp; It took about 20-30 seconds of 2 people fixing it. EDIT: Afterwards it switched the 50% flow and gave me extra gems for 10 mins: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirHartlar Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm liking the update so far, got 3.45k smithing xp from repairing a boiler which is a nice bonus as well. If this is good xp I might even manage to get 80 mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Dag. Looks like this might even be better than the LRC. I love the look of the golden mining outfit. Very fancy. :thumbup: Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagerblue Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not completely afk, it stops you from mining every so often. Also, it's only about 30-40k mining xp\h.(99, Dragonpickaxe, no titan) EDIT: Replace "every so often" with "every 1k xp" it stops you from mining and you have to reclick.

Urza285 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Whenever someone finds out can you see if you can get your dragon pickaxe gilded. I'm sure it'll be a few days before someone finds out, but I figured I'd put this out there to see others try and see if it can be done.
