here's what i'd do, bring 4 waterskins full, then just power mine...then just die down there and tele back with camulet. If you bring an imp in a box, possibly losing your camulet could be easily avoided

I see a lot of posts bascially saying that people are whining because something got harder. For me personally I used granite for half of lvl 84 so I could hit lvl 85 and be able to start construction otherwise I don't touch most "fast and pointless" methods. I think complaining about Jagex being haphazard and inconsistent with their fixes is completely fair though. They have a horrible pattern for miraculously discovering a genie then trying to cram it back into its bottle. If they didn't want to continually fix these power leveling scenarios then I would think they could have a little foresight about the applications of these updates and adjust them accordingly. It would save everyone a lot of grief if these could be worked out within a reasonable amount of time after the suposed bug was released or at least make mention of it if the fix isn't feasible to implement quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even with the granite mines as it was it was still a poor manner of training as far as skills go. On top of being isolated and worthless to bank you got the added bonus of ~50k xp per hour at top speed. Let them make training strength with monsters that have no drops, always hit you, are impossible to Guthan and are far from a bank as the best option and see how many would complain. They're simply not consistent which is why so many are mad about this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and the bandit camp not being affected somewhat proves my point. I don't see how standing in the sun outside a tent is any different than being in armor in a tent or standing in a mine for that matter. They only left it that way so people would not complain about ruining the afking that goes on at the bandits.

Thats ridiculous. So all the people who power mined there to 99 got a quicker shortcut then others? thats lame... *goes to the rants board on official boards*

 

 

 

I suppose this proves that Jagex really is forced to make everything easier.

Lol I just realized how pointless all the complaining is. All you havet to do to remedy this is put 24 waterskins in your inventory mine, drop, mine drop, ect... and you have 2 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES OF UNINTERUPTED MINING. Then it takes like 5 minutes to go refill. Does it slow down the exp? Yes. Does it make granite mining the same as/worse than iron mining? No. It's still by far the best exp in the game.

Darn..i was going to get 85 mining there one day :P

 

 

 

But i guess i wont, they shouldve fixed this bug long ago, but this is weird because at the bandit camp you dont need them but its also in the desert #-o

I was just mining there with my skiller, didn't get 1 hitpoint taken off...I think your mistaken. Unless Jagex likes me and doesn't want me to die ::'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe your just the excpetion...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and to whoever said it takes 2 hours blah bla, thats not the point.

 

 

 

The point is that players wern't warned about this. I wouldn't be as annoyed if players were warned about it.

Like normal people? All the top miners mine Granite - it was the best mining exp in the game, and mining it makes you abnormal?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its probably intentional, Jagex doesnt like it when people level fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Um... We know it's intentional - that's what the complaint is about

Lol i know, i mean, we are P2P, and we payed to play... We are wanting somethign that will help us do better than F2P. Which we found a slight fault and took advantage of it. Now, they took it away, without warning us. I mean even Tip.it said on there mining guide "Can be Powermined", so this has affected alot of people...

I don't really get your post, but i assume something. Erm, if you don't udnerstand. You now need to carry Waterskins to survive. A Waterskin (4) will go after like 5 mins... I can't mine in those conditions...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As said in the rants forum post, they made something a little harder for once, so I think it's a good update.

 

 

 

You say a waterskin, is gone in 5 mins (I'll take your word for it). With 27 full skins at start, that would last you well over two hours without banking. With teleporting and carpet rides, you can get a fresh load within 5 mins and get back to mining again and stay out for another 2 hours. I don't know how long you play a day, but that would mean having to leave the spot ONCE during a 4 hour session.

 

 

 

Is that really that big a deal to just give up on your whole plan of getting to 85 ?

So how long does it take to get there? How long can you mine before you die? can you just mine with a pic and a glory and mine until you die, then tele to al kharid go through shanty and take the rug back down and mine until you die?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ive never mined there which is why I pose this option

So 27 full water skins, and 1 spot for your granite. You mine it, drop it, mien it drop it, thats 3 clicks basically every time u want to mine. Thats continuous, and will ache faster, thats why im use to have no waterskins, mine just with 1 click. So 28 normal clicks. That dnt ache, when it comes to the dropping, obviously aches a little... or normally i have a runner (Ha, for granite.. mad i kno) I'm off to bed now... so keep sending comment's. i'll read them in the morning.

So, you're saying take 27 full skins and mine 1 rock, drop, mine 1, drop? That's ridiculous.

Easier? Easier? I don't know if you played RSC, but when it was around mining was relatively far less difficult than it is now. Imagine being able to continuously mine iron, regardless of inventory space--that's RSC mining. As it is now, Mining is already one of the most difficult skills to train. Before this it was 50K - 55K xp. How many skills are slower than that, potentially 5? This really just doesn't make sense to me, that they're making one of the more difficult skills ever harder. I can see nerfing PC, I can see nerfing PPlunder, but why nerf mining? I would agree with your statement if the said powerlevelers were debuffed, but certainly not mining. I honestly don't get it.

and as you empty your skins, you drop those as well, freeing up more inventory space the longer you stay out, thus making it less straneous. So as you stay out longer, the clicking you dread so much gets less and less.
