Okay, since i am getting P2P in a few days and i want my mining as high as possible, i want to mine granite and sandstone int he desert, but i have a few questions.

 

 

 

1) does granite and sandstone compare tot he respawn rate of iron?

 

 

 

2) if i were to use a chisel on the ore then drop it for the crafting xp, would only 1 ore be able to be crafted? if so, which one is only craftable?

 

 

 

3) does the area i will be mining in need waterskins since some places in the desert dont need waterskins such as the camps and cities.

 

 

 

thanks

1. Sandstone and granite, from my experience respawn as fast as iron. In certain guides they say that their respawn rate is 8 seconds and iron is 10. So you'd be much better off there.

 

 

 

2. You can craft them?

 

 

 

3. The area you will be mining in does not require any waterskins. For me I only use 1-2 gulps of water getting there through the magic carpet ride to the bedabin camp.

 

 

 

Oh and congratz on becoming a member, maybe we could mine together some time? lol :D

I added you :mrgreen:

 

and yes, i think some of them can be crafter for 6.5 experience each, so mining 27k will add up to 175,500 xp.

 

 

 

can anyone help me with the 2nd question?

craftable only during the quest :

craftable only during the quest :

 

 

 

im pretty sure granite is craftable for shades of mor'ton shade burning, unless you are talking about limestone...

 

 

 

what i want to know, is if both ores are craftable, if not, is it only granite?

It is only sandstone, which can be crafted into limestone bricks (used for construction).... I think

What quest do u need to do to mine granite\sandstone?

limestone is made into limestone bricks for construction.

 

 

 

I am unsure if granite and sandstone can be mined before/after the quest.

oh well. i will just bring a chisel with me when i go to find out. thanks for everyone answering my questions. if a mod happens to see this, feel free to lock it. i am done with the questions.
