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%.

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...?

Dag. Looks like this might even be better than the LRC. I love the look of the golden mining outfit. Very fancy. :thumbup:

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...

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.

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.

Wore my completionist cape to go to the place, so no it isn't a requirement.. they said they won't add items that you obtain as requirements since you can drop them.(Reason they didn't add spirit cape as a req :()

Weapons are now hidden when performing the veteran cape emote.

What the hell? I never knew this had an emote. #-o

 

Now I know what people were talking about when they asked me for an emote.
