July 4, 201115 yr I read around the place that "If you own the complete Golden mining outfit and any piece of Varrock armour from the Varrock task rewards, you can wear either platebody to receive both the 2.5% Mining XP bonus as well as the extra ore bonus." My question is, am I required to WEAR the full Golden mining outfit to get the Varrock armour bonus, or simply OWN the full Golden mining outfit? I was planning on wearing the whole set minus the gloves (replaced by Goldsmithing Gaunts) for mining at LRC. Please post if you know for sure from first hand experience.
July 4, 201115 yr Wear it. Note that the word "wear" is used in your quote. It's highly illogical that you'd need to wear only the platebody to get a full set effect boost. Squab unleashes Megiddo!

It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

July 4, 201115 yr Author Wear it. Note that the word "wear" is used in your quote. It's highly illogical that you'd need to wear only the platebody to get a full set effect boost.No I don't think you understood. I'm asking if, assuming I'm wearing all four Golden mining outfit parts except the gloves, it's necessary to wear the gloves to get the Varrock armour effect? I understand I lose a potential 0.5% boost in Mining XP (or whatever amount it may be), but do I still have the ability to mine multiple ores with one swing of my pickaxe?
July 4, 201115 yr At most, it would take you ten minutes to find out. PM me in game anytime It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet. That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.
July 4, 201115 yr Author At most, it would take you ten minutes to find out.True that. :thumbup: 'cept I don't have the full Golden mining outfit yet and the answer would possibly affect my decision of whether to get it or not (which takes a hell of a lot longer than ten minutes :wink: ). I just posted in case someone had tested this before.
July 4, 201115 yr I don't think you'll receive the experience bonus if you don't wear all the other items. I'm not certain of it, but I just can't see it any other way. PM me for fitocracy invite
July 4, 201115 yr I just tested (by wearing barrows gloves instead of the gold gloves) on concentrated gold and I did mine multiple ores at once.

And at the above poster I was receiving the expected 2% bonus experience. Did you turn Game to all instead of filter and verify that it was varrock armor affect and not the fact that you can sometimes get 2 ores randomly whenever you mine conc gold? With varrock armor you can mine 3 at once sometimes.

EDIT: When I went back I first got this message, wearing the previous outfit. I then mined another 100 gold just to make sure and I did not get a single message saying the varrock armour worked. I put on the gold gloves and within 10 ore I got a message saying that the varrock armour worked. Sorry for posting wrong info earlier as I think now the varrock armour effect only works with full golden armour. I'm also going to make the assumption that you do not get the benefit of the plate or the gloves if you wear the varrock armour with goldsmithing gloves as the set effects were not working before. I would check but I have other things I need to do now.

Guess I won't be getting the Golden outfit anytime soon (or if I do, I'll sub out the top for the Varrock plate and the gloves for Goldsmithing gaunts).
