Miningis one of the manyskills that players have to traininRuneScape: Dragonwildsto maximize their gameplay experience, unlock higher Tiers of Armor and Weapons, and most importantly: Survive the hordes of Dragons and Goblins hunting them.
So, if players want to level up Mining really fast, they should take a look at this full guide that includes all the information related to mining leveling, skills, useful spells, buff items, and more. First, let’s check the basics of Mining and how to level it up with ease.
How To Level Up Mining Fast In RuneScape: Dragonwilds
One of the first thingsRuneScape: Dragonwildsplayers need to know about Mining is that it is one of the skills that can be leveled the fastest, and that is due to the way mining nodes are distributed, mostly in bulk and next to each other. Fromrocks, toclay, andmetals, mining nodes will be bulked together and easily farmable with a few swings of the mining pick, and that means lots of exp with each swing.
But, there’s yet another detail to keep in consideration when mining, and that is:Pickaxe hits can be critical. This means more damage is done to the node and more minerals are gathered. Of course, this also means moreMining Skill EXPgained and faster leveling.
To start with their Mining Leveling Journey, playersshould craft a Stone Pickaxe(4x Stone, 4x Ash Logs) using theCrafting Table. Once they get this Tier 1 tool, they should go and pick some stones, but, just to make things more interesting, players should go and mineRunic Essencefrom Rune Geisers (pink floating stones that are swirling around). That way, they can kill two birds with the same stone: Leveling Mining and Runecrafting.
It is basically going for rocks, splitting them in half, and taking the loot (or not). It is also important to mention that with each extra node in Mining Skill, players will increase theirMining Critical Hit Chance by 1%. If players are having trouble leveling up, they should check the following tips to accelerate the process:
Players can unlock the Bone Pickaxe recipe early by collecting Animal Hide and Animal Bone from Cows that are present near the starting area. Killing them is not as hard as killing Deer, but they drop fewer bones and other resources. The Bone Pickaxe should be crafted earlier to improve Mining Speed exponentially.
How To Unlock And Use Rocksplosion Spell
Once they have reachedlevel 11, they will unlockRocksplosion, a useful spell that players will need to keep leveling up Mining as fast as possible. It uses10x Fire Runes, and 5x Earth Runes, soplayers should craft the Rune Altarfirst before going nuts breaking stones with this incredible spell.
To cast Rocksplosion, stand near a mining node, then open theSpellbook Wheel (Q), and move the highlighted AoE towards the node. Click to release the spell and watch how the rocks shatter in an instant. It is recommended that players use it on Rune Essence Nodes or Clay Nodes, as they yield even more resources and EXP. It is also possible to use Rocksplosion on floating rocks (such as the Rune Essence nodes).
There are several useful Passive and Active Skills in the Mining Skill category, one of which allows players to break ‘Crumbling Walls,‘indungeonsandvaults,to access secret areas that most often than not, contain treasure chests. Another useful skill is the ability to track certain mineral nodes using a spell called:Detect Ore and Clay,which will summon a spirit that will guide players to the nearest nodes of Ore or Clay. This is useful Spell can be unlocked at Mining Lvl. 24.
Rocksplosion can also damage and stagger Vault Overlords, so keep that in mind for those difficult encounters. It is also important to mention that Rocksplosion hasa cooldown of 45 seconds, which, for the moment, doesn’t seem to be possible to reduce by using gear or accessories.
So, now that players have mastered the art of Mining inRuneScape: Dragonwilds,they just need to keep blasting rocks, ore, and clay to make the most of this incredible game.
