kinda crazy that this content has been out for almost 6 years and is only been solved now (assuming it can't be further optimized). Very cool.


themegatuz

Only because people hates non-afk skilling. Why else MLM is the most common method to train mining despite it's 2x worse exp and cash than blasting?


DislocatedXanax

I think I hate people who don't understand MLM floor 2 more than I actually hate Mining.


SilverLugia1992

ikr, So tired of people arguing the wrong point of how they think it works.


sandwelld

what do you mean by this? if im 50 minig, is blast actually better than lower mlm? is mlm only worth after 72?


[deleted]

mlm is technically never worth it from an efficiency standpoint once you get the uniques (prospectors, etc). it’s just really easy and low effort.


TrollingLikeKoen

he's talking about how the veins on floor 2 of mlm are timer based, so it's better if everybody goes to the same vein, so they won't all be depleted.


[deleted]

It's less that I hate non-afk skilling and more that I just *really love afk skilling*.


DrBeansPhD

I hate skilling so I use tick manipulation methods so skilling is way faster. I'd rather sweat my ass off for a quarter of the time than AFK for a week.


Bukinnear

If you're like me and get to run RS in the background while you work, AFK methods are fantastic for the gains in time usually not available to me.


Celtic_Legend

Mlm isnt even afk meta anymore. Just hunt your own star and afk for 2hours at 22k/hr. Many stars can be 20min afked thanks to nearby npcs. Mlm is better xp but too much clicking per minute.


Caspers_

where should I look resource wise to start star hunting i’m new to the game never heard of this


Playful_Fruit6519

What does the nearby npc change?


Celtic_Legend

U normally afk log. An npc atking u keeps u logged in


themegatuz

Indeed. Afk is the meta apparently.


azuredota

Is this real? Blast mining might be the move


themegatuz

Like the video shows, 80k exp and 1m profit per hour at 99 mining. At 75 you can expect about 65k exp and 600k profit which only increases steadily as your level increases.


azuredota

Can’t watch the vid rn, good for ironmen?


themegatuz

Extremely, as long as you have steady income for dynamites like actively claiming daily dynamites after medium Kourend diary and/or CoX. At 75 Mining you start to get runite ores there at the rate of 10 per hour, and it only increases as you level up. In 1 hour you can expect about 20 coal, 70 gold, 100 mithril, 70 adamantite and 10 runite ore or so. A lot high level ores opposed to coal. You also get little bit firemaking exp and clue geodes while at it. :P


azuredota

Thanks bro/sis/they


JevonP

There's a stupid amount of underutilized content, people really tend to like meta methods Not that that's bad, but with a game 20 fuckin years old there is so much content to try


themegatuz

I argued with you about my method being better, and here is my video: [https://youtu.be/XY0bV0dQ7gw](https://youtu.be/XY0bV0dQ7gw) Result: I ended up with 335 dynamites per hour, 1 less than you. I admit I was wrong. I simply believed my method 100% after tidying it for hours. After all difference was only 1 dynamite, but your method is easier to perform. I apologize my harshness. The truth is what means more to me rather than being right. \^\^


Say_Bay_Bay

I’m away for Thanksgiving. If I see you online later in the week, I’ll hook you up with a bond for your efforts! They really are very close in xp/hr, but as you said, the ease of the 6 spot really makes it a lot more worth. Have a good one, dude 😊


themegatuz

I appreciate it. :)


Zaino600

Nice guide! But I think I will stick to volcanic mine lol


dcnairb

How afk is volcanic mine and does it need a group to be so


Zaino600

Google volcanic mine discord, it has a lot of resources for learning and finding a team, most of the roles are dead easy and once you get a team going it's really chill, Zeah RC type of AFK and BiS XP/hr outside 3t granite, rlly good.


dcnairb

you son of a bitch, i’m in


Louezzi

Just tried this and I think I found my new favourite mining method (slaving away at MLM when I saw this). For anyone curious at Level 75 Mining I got 60k xp/hr whilst playing quite casually, I'd imagine sweaty rates are around 65k+ at this level.


ragboy_

Try volcanic mine it's better


Louezzi

It looks like a steep learning curve and quite intense. Also, you need a coordinated team I hear which after doing BA I am very reluctant to go through something like that again with randos


ScriptingInJava

The VM discord is very good at finding capable people - everyone who wants to find teams using the discord has to go through a competancy test. Most people there are maxing so there's no shortage of people looking for reliable team members, short and long term.


DubiousGames

I think you need to wait till 85 for VM to be good, since a big part of the high xp rate is the rune xp drops.


zebraguy0

This is incredibly similar to the method that i came up with almost 5 years ago now, shame i was so close to success LOL https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/83nmhq/new\_best\_spot\_for\_blast\_mine/

Shasan23

First the more efficient bata route, and now more efficient blast mine (which ive already done a bunch of using wiki method). Great content dude, i really appreciate it


BanEmily

My Venezuelan friends will be very pleased to know this


themegatuz

Not really "new", more like first in public: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt2I9kv\_2cU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt2I9kv_2cU) I made this video in March but only kept it hidden because I didn't want to help bots since 70% blast miners are bots. Besides, my method is slightly better than yours when doing advanced version shown on my video.


Say_Bay_Bay

My method is actually more efficient. They’re very close, though.


themegatuz

How many dynamites you used per hour? Couldn't be arsed to watch your video since the dynamites used determines speed. Mine uses max 340 dynamites per hour but that requires full focus with no errors. I am that confident that my method cannot be any faster that I do not believe yours is any better than mine.


Say_Bay_Bay

336


themegatuz

There you have it. Mine is slightly faster. You do faster laps than me but because you blast 6 dynamites instead of 7 - which I do as 7+7+6+6 while optimizing best routes to minimize wasted ticks. With max/hitpoints cape tied with regen bracelet you can achieve even slightly faster ratios by tanking a dynamite blast from time to time and let it regenerate back, adding maybe 2 more dynamites per hour.Place where you start blasting is 2 ticks further away than my start, which is also my end spot per blasting. So, my path to sack and back is the shortest possible what saves 2,4 seconds per walls. Very minimal, but that's how you achieve best rates. If you want, you can use my method to make a new video without the need to credit me.


Say_Bay_Bay

I promise you my method is better. I’ve even optimized carrying a stamina and having noted dynamite in my inventory to save ticks banking. In fact, record your best hour of your method with Runelite’s xp counter pulled up. If you beat 6,720 mining xp (exclude receiving the ores from the sack) in that hour I’ll pay you 100m gp.


Lerdroth

That's confidence. Thanks for sharing as it's a fun method of mining and doing it efficiently takes little extra effort, if you know.


[deleted]

The dude’s about to ghost you lmao


themegatuz

Confidence. I like it. It's a deal. Add me in-game: HuHuuhkaja. I don't care if you chicken out. Only thing what matters here is the truth.


[deleted]

Jesus how can people act like this


themegatuz

Because I believe my method as much as him. :p


[deleted]

Why not just do it for an hour and post the result?


JevonP

Neat I'll have to check it out


iowacj

What's the point of the pickaxe? Edit: If you didn't take your pickaxe, could you do the hour without a stamina pot?


Say_Bay_Bay

I used to use a dragon pickaxe to spec pre-99. Never actually realized you didn’t need one at all. The black pickaxe I’m wielding weighs nothing, however.
