Right, as i normally do, well, 2 months ago... I was mining granite. But when i went to mine granite 10 mins ago, i need to have waterskins to survive. Normally, you don't need to in the mining area. Is this a new update or just a glitch?

Where were you mining?

Granite mine, the mine in the desert? NORMALLY, i don't take waterskins, cause it doesn't hurt you in that place in the desert. But, i keep getting hurt, saying the heat is hitting me or something.

Bump, re4ally need to kno this!

Isn't there a granite mine in between Varrock and the Priest in Peril quest start place? Why not use that?

I think it is a hidden update and if it isn't a glitch then mining granite just became useless.

Thats limestone :(

So it is.. Stupid grey rocks #-o

Thats made me really... annoyed. On the road to 85 mining, only on bloddy 79! Now i have to go to stupid iron rocks where level 20's try to fight for iron, fighting scorpions!

New update, from General P2P forum...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex said that this is an intentional fix. Seeing as you are in the desert anyway it would seem fair that all the desert should be made hazardous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunatly for miners this is not a glitch/bug.

I really don't get this. Stuff like fletching/woodcutting is so much easier to level and a lot more profit to be made. Smithing/mining are like 10 times harder to level and you don't make much of a profit at all ye they hit mining with the nerf bat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woodcutting is just click and forget. Mining is crazy competition for rocks and you click every single time. Why hurt mining even more?

Some people train it because they want to have a higher mining...does it look good to have 85 mining or 1? Some think it's fun...it's their optionts, not yours. It is also a way to make supplies, if no one trains mining, who would you buy over 100k+ knives from to train your range? Mining/smithing plays a important role, some find it fun to click a million times. For wcing as you pointed that as a example, you just sit back...do nothing and wait until the tree drops. How boring is that? Atleast in mining you click -.-
