16-May-2011 – Lava Flow Mine

Players who have completed King of the Dwarves will already have seen the Lava Flow Mine, where the dwarves of Keldagrim have tapped into channels of liquid rock in order to power their city’s machinery. The lava flows require constant tending to keep the power supply steady, and the new king has finally decided to let humans into the mine to help out.

The Lava Flow Mine allows miners to gain a good rate of XP without producing any ore (although you have a chance of finding gems). You can mine anywhere in the area, but you get the maximum rate of XP by consulting the flow gauges and finding the place where the lava is flowing most slowly.

A few random events will pop up from time to time, and keeping an eye out for them could net you additional rewards. Boilers will break, and you can fix them for Smithing XP if you have the required level. Mischievous ancestor spirits will make off with the dwarves’ pickaxes, and catching them will give you a temporary bonus to Mining XP in the area. If you help the Tzhaar hero on his endless quest to catch a lava monster, everyone in the area will have an increased chance of finding gems.

Finally, the Liquid Gold Nymph may take pity on your dull clothes and give you pieces of an outfit so eye-achingly flamboyant that it grants a bonus to Mining XP everywhere in the world – the complete outfit grants a total Mining XP bonus of 2.5%.

You can mine runite rocks faster? Lvl 99 FM and Cooking are even less useful but ppl still get them for the capes.

Does anyone know if the LRC is good money? Like over 400k / h?

Wouldn't lava melt your pickaxe?

Whats LRC?

living rock cavern

Living Rock Caverns. It contains numerous concentrated coal and gold deposits. You get multiple coal or gold from each deposit, like logs from a tree. I can click once and have a full inventory of gold or coal before the deposit even runs out. Of course, gold is the best XP and money-maker, but I'm unsure of how much. Anyone know?

awww… i really want to make a script for this just to laugh at jagex, but i dont have a account for it :(

~shut

It's not even 1k ore an hour with gold. ~50k xp/h ~180k gp/h

Inferno Adze says hai. Too bad no one other than me uses it to mine :(

Also, keep in mind that the thermodynamic physics of RS don't make sense. Lava Eel can be cooked on a normal range.

I find Firemaking useful so handcannons don't blow up in my hands. Cooking is very useful to have a high level, I don't see your reasoning for saying otherwise.

You'd be stuck in the same place I am, lack of hooking object models/animations. Jagex has been doing this lately with their newest activities (Livid Farm, Artisans Workshop, and now Lava Flow Mine). All of which don't change object IDs/Tiles when you interact with them. ;)

this is why RSBot will prosper…

Footballjds your signature is really nice :)

I don't get it - what's wrong with colour?

So you can cook raw food without burning… when you could have bought cooked food cheaper in the first place?

Not everyone buys their food though. I'm a fisher, 85% of what I've fished I cook, and that fish I use for every day things, not for making money. There's plenty of other ways then grinding fishing for so little.

microsoft office professional,Office 2007,office 2010,
I really agree with your ideas. Thanks
