in my other topic "long curvy road to 85 mining" sabuthedog said that sandstone was as fast as iorn but gives more exp, if i was to mine it where would i find it , i believe its in the desert bellow bandit camp, and how many rocks of it is there side by side.


if there close together this might help me faster with 72-85 mining.

all information about "sandstone" or where to find it would be help full so i dont haft to work my a-word off on iorns in f2p"

also, can anyone fill out this map of what ores are where, granite sandstone-ect

Once you get down there, mine one, see what it gives. Then go from there.

There are a few spots where you can get 3 quickly.

Dont double post.

At the southern part there are 2 rocks on the east side and 2 rocks on the west side all of which are sandstone. Just start mining there and they should respawn fast enough so you will only have to stop to drop all of the ores.

Why wouldn't you just mine gold "Between a Rock..."?

Bank with the dwarf who takes a few, then get smithing guants for wicked smithing xp.

Because if you just want mining exp, granite is probably 5 times as fast exp.

IMO Dropping ores is slow. Trading a runner or banking ores is faster, and at 70+ mining coal and gold is fairly quick.

its all about the mining exp, faster the better, besides in this "between a rock" area is probably crawling with people mining all the gold.

I don't have first hand experience at mining Between a Rock just for the ores, only for the quest. It may be worth your time to try it out and see if it's worth your time. Especially if you tire of the right-click and drop routine.

At 70+ mining, gold is frequently 1 hit. What's faster than 1 hit? Believe me, at that level, gold is fast.

To be honest, for gold, I used to use the circle of gold rocks west of Brimhaven, boat and bank in Ardy. I could mine the full circle about as fast as it would respawn, sometimes even faster, and would have to wait a bit. Didn't know I could bank with the dwarf.

So, I don't know for sure I would guess Between a Rock is not crowded. There's so much gold in there; and how many people really like mining anyway? Might be worth your time to find out.

SOMEONE CALL!!!!!!!

Yeah, I ground here. The exp is incredible - about 50k exp an hour if you really get into it. The trick is to mine between 3 rocks, and in the second or so of downtime dump as many out of your inventory as possible, while timing the clicks.

Of course I can't maintain 50k an hour, my personal and not-suicidal rate is about 20k an hour, which is still a lot more exp than any other mining site put out.

Keep in mind this was when I was at 88 mining. The lower mining you are the smaller rocks you get, which lowers your exp/hour.
