old_vuz Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm so glad I put off getting mining to 77 for so long. This is so much more relaxed than granite or iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punitive_D Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The population graph is very strange indeed:why would that be? Maybe this is due to the fact that Jagex kicks everyone off and it takes a while for them to get back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What are the xp rates like and what does a gilded pickaxe do (if it's cosmetic, then it's useless, dragon looks much better red)?

Ketchup2209 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Maybe this is due to the fact that Jagex kicks everyone off and it takes a while for them to get back on? Look at it closer. The graph goes till 3 hours later. Anyways the mining itself isn't that fast and with so few events it really just seems like a semi-AFK grind spot. I won't be heading back soon.

essiw Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Population prior to the update: 176kCurrent population: 82k Having a quest requirement for this area is good.so, more than half the online people before updates were bots nice detection system jagexYou got it wrong, it shows that more bots have an auto re-login function when updating, if we have to believe the prev graphs the % of people logging in back in the first few hours is getting higher. /sarcasmWe got this EXACT discussion at least 4 times... Nice update, now if it would only work with varrock armour... http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

Quyneax Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So far it seems urns don't work there, also, Castle Wars has a neat look going.

Maybe this is due to the fact that Jagex kicks everyone off and it takes a while for them to get back on? Not this again. 1. There's a large number of reasons why someone wouldn't log back on. Many people might decide to go do something else when they get kicked off for an update.2. A well enough designed bot would have an auto-log in feature.3. We don't need to discuss this for the 4rth time. ONTOPIC: Doesn't interest me that much. The gold armour is kinda dumb that it doesn't work with the varrock armour. Doesn't seem that afkable considering you have to re-click ever 1k exp. I don't see why - not like a bot couldn't just reclick or anything. And the laval flows move anyways, don't they? I might do this for 75-77 mining, once I fill up my horn. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

xpx Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Varrock armour, penance horn and urns do not work on the lava. Not sure about SC yet.So it's crappy, not-very-afk xp and nothing boosts it? Inb4someone tells us you need over 200m mining xp for the set to be efficient. The set looks good, however, and the gilded pick is nice, too. First to 99 Farming on 27.

Sir_Squab Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So, the only thing going for it is afk-ability (which you could do at LRC too? not sure on that) and the golden armour, whose usefulness is cut in half if you aren't lava mining.

Noice.Yeah, that's about it. I'm just doing it to trim my dragon pickaxe. And it is a little more afk than LRC, so it really isn't a pain to play other games while it mines away.

timmmmm83 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What dragon????!I think he means gilded dragon pickaxe doesn't have a special attack. Quite monotonous 'minigame' and slow xp compared to lrc. 4 lava titans used so far and finally 1 pair of boots! :razz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassynder Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 But doesn't it stop you from mining after like 1k exp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim 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...?It shocks me too.

Jax_Wyman Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Varrock armour, penance horn and urns do not work on the lava. Not sure about SC yet. Sc equipment dose seem to work at the lava mine. I've spent about 3 hours there and have gotten the complete armor set. Just have to trim my pick now then I can be a cool kid. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 WHY WON'T THEY FIX AMULET OF NATUREWhat's wrong with it? I've had mine since '06 and it has always worked fine :unsure:. Been like this since April 21. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: It appears normal (green) for some players, but for others it is glitched and displays as white while equipped.
