Powermining Granite/Sandstone

Featured Replies

My mining level is 51, would it be a good idea? Or should I stick to iron? (I'm currently only f2p so I don't know much about the subject, but I'm going to become a member).

Not anymore, no. They've changed it to where you require water pouches out in the mine. No good for powermining anymore, so stick to iron.

Is there any way to get around the desert effect without waterskins?

Nope, unless you wanna die that is, =), lol.

When did they change it to where you need waterskins in the desert?

The experience isn't nerfed that much. Just bring like 25 waterskins and you can survive for quite a while. You don't need a full inventory open if you're only powermining.

Actually I was reading a rant on the official forums, and the last post says that it was a bug and that it was fixed! :thumbsup: Can someone confirm this?

Fill your invent with 26 water skins (4). Wield your rune pick and wield a ring of dueling. Wear desert robes :XD:. Go down to the mine. Mine 2 rocks, drop the 2, mine two more, drop the 2, mine 2 more, drop the 2... well you get the idea. You can stay there for a pretty long time, and just use the duel ring to get back to al kahrid for another run.

It's obviously a different thread >_> mine was on these forums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who ever posted on that one was lying. Just look at this one: 27-28-424-37737443

Use this method, you still last for about 2 hours until you run out, and it only takes maybe 5 minutes to bank. Still by far the fastest way to mine.
