Gold Mining, even a pro get's stumped.

[Ethiery]

Ok, I'd love to consider myself a fairly "wise" miner, having gotten 85 mining and hardly doing any granite, but, there's a certain new "gold ore" mining method that I've heard a few "miner" details about, and I just can't seem to track down exactly how to do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It involves fairy rings, some whistle, and the gold ores on north west Karamja.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh-ye of enlightment, shed some brillance on me.

The best way to bank your ores is to use the fairy rings. You need to equip the dramen staff and have a pick-axe and the magic whistle, from the Holy Grail quest, in your inventory. Head to any fairy ring and use it. You will be taken to the Zanaris fairy ring. Use the Zanaris fairy ring and put in "BEE-JAY-ARE". You will now appear in the Fisher King realm. You DO NOT need to move at all, immediately blow the magic whistle. You will now appear at the wooden outpost just northeast of the Brimhaven gold spawns. Mine away until you have a full load. Head back up to the wooden outpost and blow the whistle. You will now be in the Fisher King realm. This time you do NEED to move to where the fairy ring is and use it. Now you're at the Zanaris fairy ring. Head for the bank and unload your ores. Run back to the fairy ring, use it, and put in "BEE-JAY-ARE" to start the whole process over again. With this method, you don't spend any money or use any runes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i believe thats what your talkin about

Much appreciated, the both of you, that's exactly what I needed. :)

And here's the reason why it's much better then in the Arzinia mine:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you mine in Arzinia a full load is 27 ores, you need to save one space for the golden helmet. Out of those 27 ores the dwarven boatman will take 3. So you will end up with only 24 ores. If you are a low-level smith, this isn't a big deal. But at high levels, the differences are staggering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say you have level 91 smithing. For you to get to 92, you need to mine 10,933 ores. If you mine in Arzinia you will actually have to mine a total of 12,300 ores to make up for the 3 that the dwarven boatman takes away from each load. That's an extra 1,367 ores you'd have to mine... do you really want to mine an extra 1,367 ores?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say you're a level 91 smith who wants to at least get to 98 smithing. To get there you need to mine 105,407 ores. If you do all this in Arzinia you will need to mine 118,583 ores instead. That's an extra 13,176 ores you'd have to mine. You will lose 740,491.2 smithing exp and 395,280 crafting exp. That's a loss of over 1 million worth of exp, it literally just disappears into thin air. If you're rich, you can basically just buy exp and none of this matters. But I am not rich, so I can't afford to buy ores or bars. And I would hate to lose over a million exp points.
