For those of you who have never been to Living Rock Caverns.

So the living rock caverns is a members only area under the Dwarven Mine.
It contains gold and coal rocks which can essentially be mined just like rune essence rocks. You click the rock once, and you sit for a long time getting tons of ores, you also have random chance of getting 2 or 3 ores at a time (this is increased if you wear Varrock Armor Level 2 or higher, but that's tough to get).

Anyways, it's regarded by many as the best/one of the best places to get fastest mining experience giving about 35- 40K+xp /hour with a rune pickaxe and 40-50K+ xp/hour with a dragon pickaxe.

Of course jagex would put some safeguards in such a place, so it's filled with some level 100+ monsters, but there are some 'official' servers in which players have designated to mine at in which your changes of getting attacked by these monsters are very low/non-existent because 1) It's crowded as hell (Server is almost always full, and I'd assume 80%+ of the 2,000 players are in the cavern) and 2) Nice players log in and train on the monsters so they don't attack you.



TL;DR: Living Rock Caverns is a P2P dungeon in which you can get CRAZY (30-50K xp/hour) good mining xp. Of course because of this bots were made for it, and boy do people use them!

You thought this was bad?:

Well what about this?:

Fortunately, like I said since each rock gives multiple ores so the crowd does not effect the rate at which you get ores/xp so it's not really a 'problem'.

And yes, it LAGS if you don't have a good computer :p.

Woah?! Rough guess on how many?

There are 2 gold rock deposits there, normally only one contains ore at a time I think. So people mine the active one until the other one gets more ore in here.
Most people stack up in one stack, but there are probably 2 or 3 stacks with less people in it. Also there is a kind of big mass line from the rock/bank for all of the people who are running to bank/rock.

So yeah, here is just a right click of one of the bigger stacks of people I found at the rock:

It's almost always full of 2,000 people, and I'd GUESS 70%? of them are at LRC. Not sure…

Holy shit jagex… How hard is it to simply log in to those worlds and take out the ban hammer?

I believe 84 is the world you're looking for. While that area is nothing but a bot flood, it provides some safety from the monsters down there. All the bots seem to be using a single bot that, for one, does not walk to any safe spots there might be around the rock they're mining, and two, always go for the nears Deposit Object that is closest to them. So you might see 700 people mining 1 deposit and… 5-10 (legit or just smart botters?) on the other two deposits.

I started recording tiles of priority object finding and safe-spot walking to give me the advantage over 99% of the bots down there. Unfortunately, I moved to working on a couple other projects. But don't think I've forgotten about this place. ;)

Thats just crazy, jagex ain't doing anything to ban bots by the looks of them pics. Soon there will be no ligit players in runescape lol.

Meh I mine there all the time (w84)… Everyone refers to it as: "The gold rush lag" because coal doesnt lag as bad as when ppl are running for gold.. Gold rush lag is so bad its comparable to the middle of the soulwars arena in w145..

As for jagex banning them.. oh u haven't heard? at one point it was almmost wiped clean.. a mod with a purple phat and an UNTRIMMED summoning cape with multiple 99's.. Went there, removed the rope and put a portal and a barrier instead..

Every single bot got screwed.. They got stuck because they couldn't find the rope (replaced by a portal temporarily) and then he banned all who was stuck..

Yeah do you have a source on that? I'd love to see the screenies of it if it's legit. I really doubt it though.

I really hope that happened and starts happening more often, I agree would be nice to see pics of that, where did you hear of it ?

It's legit, it was all over the nexus re-seller forums.
In my opinion, its about 70% bots and 30% legit down there. Thats a better percentage than say, Draynor willows(80-90% bots).

here was a bug after the "The Void Stares Back" Update on 6 October 2010 that caused the rope to enter Living Rock Caverns to be unreachable. Jagex soon added a portal to the side of the rope for players to enter Living Rock Caverns, while they fixed the bug.

See that l33t untrimmed summoning cape at lvl 138?? -_______- and the red portal under the right-click menu.. Btw.. I didnt know modmark went there himself in another world at the same time and did the same thing.. But Mod Lorenzo was the one who banned the most.. Banhammer like crazy.. the world was basically empty..

There are 3 gold rock deposits, one directly north and south of the bank and one west. And I don't think I've ever seen the bots there, I must have never logged into that world before at LRC. I don't use bots anymore though, I just play legit and sometimes make programs for fun.

I don't know bout that, LRC is p2p only, essence mine is p2p and f2p. p2p worlds have lots of essence miners, the f2p worlds are even worse. But in my earlier post, I wasn't necessarily saying that essence miners are worse, just saying it appears to be as bad, with the constant line of people from Point A to Point B.

Yeah you're right about the Essence mines being the major botted area. I was more talking about LRC being the most bots in 1 area for 1 world. For mining essence, they're free to choose from many, many worlds, while world 84 is the only one bots will mine in, therefore PACKED tight.

Guys, does anyone here use the bot that has the most popular LRC script? If so, try to see if the antirandoms automatically click accept when there's a chance to, if so, go to LRC on your main, have your friends camp at Ice Plateau and you go do some Tele Group Ice Plateaus at the bot spot ;) A lot of those people will have aid on for sure…
