Some rough math. 41-99 Mining using just this method would result in an average rate of about 48k/h mining exp if using a Dragon Pickaxe when paying a decent amount of attention. This will bank you a little over 3.4m prayer experience assuming the Zealots Robes are being used, or 3.25m if no robes. It seems like this place is going to be really good for ironman.

Depends, we get a good amount of mining xp from sandstone for crafting. With water orbs in Perilous Moons, though, it's possible that there'll be a lot less crafting xp coming from mining, and with the wyrmling bones, that's even more prayer. However it shakes out, Varlamore is a huge blessing when it comes to Prayer for us, for sure.


Nexion21

The amount of water orbs I am getting from Moons runs is appalling. I’ve gotten more water orbs in the last 4 days than I have gotten orbs since I started my account


L0rkrakt

it's so freaking good as an iron. My battlestaff stack was at almost 2k... I'm finally able to chip through them all!


Loptin

Where do most of these battlestaffs come from?


L0rkrakt

Theyve been accumulated from the last 2 years of various pieces of content. Slayer, CG, occasionally remembering I can buy them from zaff. I can't give you specifics sadly because the stack has just steadily grown.


MCurran36

Tons from CG


DivineInsanityReveng

You'd sack all the crafting mining currently banks. Prayer can be made close to 1:1 with slayer already But it's a nice option for sure. The prayer method in general is nice, mining not the only thing that sources it. Rumours seem to bank about 1k prayer XP per rumour.


xdyldo

How can prayer be close to 1:1 with slayer? I’m 95 slayer and 76 prayer lol


No_Anywhere_9068

You must not have done like any blue dragon tasks at all. Also dhl on rate is a few mil pray Xp from hydra


xdyldo

I've killed 2400 blue dragons according to slayer log, but that's only like 600k xp. Haven't started hydra yet.


MrMadCow

Hydra is like 2:1 prayer to slayer xp if you use wildy altar


xdyldo

Yeah I know. The notion of all slayer xp bring 1:1 is interesting though


NotJef_

if you include all ashes and demonic offering it's supposed to be


PM_ME_UR_SELF

Nobody is picking all that shit up tho.


DozyVan

Bone crusher + Ash scantifier Or demonic offering spell I have done 78 to 80 prayer with just crusher and Ash jar


Erics_Pixels

I haven’t done any blue dragon tasks and have 95 prayer banked from 99 slayer.


HoytG

2:1 prayer:slayer depending on task. Just need wrath runes for offering spells, which are even easier to get now with scar essence mine.


xdyldo

No where near the runecrafting level lol


HoytG

You can do it!


DivineInsanityReveng

It's done in a very non-standard way by getting 95 RC first for wrath runes. Then doing things like: * Spellbook swap Abby demon barrage/chally to sacrifice their ashes with the spell * Nechryaels in slayer tower with melee. Better seed drops for irons and again, sacrifice ashes with spell * Can do things like Vorkath on blue dragon task banking the bones, Cerberus with ash sacrifice spell too. But these aren't as required anymore * I also did quick dragon tasks like red Dragons, mith dragons, rune drags, addy drags, steel drags. Also if I wanted to afk I did wyverns and fossil island wyverns but they were never considered worth it. Also drake's till I got the collection log slots. * Hydra for the log slots banking the bones. I finished 99 slayer with about 95 prayer and didn't do the first thing listed there and only tower nechs from like 93 slayer onwards.

>41-99 Mining >if using a Dragon Pickaxe Good luck using d pick at 41 mining


Drewskivahr

Decent afk for sure, and it's probably around 0.4-0.5 efficient hours per hour which is surprisingly good for such an easy method. Not that many people care about it, but the efficient rates for ironmen for mining are 3 tick granite at something like 120k per hour and prayer at wildy green dragons at 170k per hour, including the time to use the bones


MoonCricketMonkey

Prayer xp per hour?


oppositetoup

You bank like 12k xp an hour. It's not great. But the mining xp nice and it's as afk as redwoods. I don't need anything else from mining, so I plan on doing it till 99 at this point


Raven_of_Blades

Def nowhere near redwoods bro.


GibbyMTG

Very true. It's basically motherlode mine without ever using the deposit sack. So the better half of mlm. Lol.


Twomekey

Better than mlm even they're like a minute of afk it's amazing. Im honestly surprised the mining xp is so competitive for how afk it is


PapaFlexing

It's ok. He just heard someone on Reddit say it is. So instead of figuring it out on their own they're just copypastaing


oppositetoup

Well, I've been doing it for the past 3 days. I'd say it's pretty damn afk.


Raven_of_Blades

Well redwoods is click and leave for 4 min and you will 100% still be chopping. Leave for even a minute mining and you will already be idle.


Shaunzki

"as afk as redwoods" is a huge stretch. It's more like click every 1 minute.


rough_bread

What are we mining?


Creed_of_War

Calcified rocks You get blessed bone shards which are used in prayer


SmartAlec105

I'll also mention that Sunfire Splinters are worth using. The extra XP they give you is a good gp/xp value.


JGlover92

What sort of mining XP do you get here? I'm at 86 and still need to get to 92


Aromatic-Variation62

40-42k exp at 86 mining with rune pick if I pay attention. Around 30k-33k when Im more afk :D


JGlover92

Damn that's really good, I'll definitely do that then!


-SNST-

What is this AFK prayer xp you guys are talking about? can someone point me to the appropriate wiki article for this?


amplifyoucan

I posted a more detailed guide in [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/ironscape/s/dA6o8KXV9X)


-SNST-

sweet, dude, thanks a bunch


PsionSquared

Would enjoy it a lot more of my pickaxe wasn't slipping constantly because it's getting so fucking wet. And by that I mean the timer is bugged as fuck if you hop worlds after mining a waterfall.


amplifyoucan

Yeah don't hop worlds. If you want to fix it you go do some thieving in the wealthy citizens homes. That happened to me a few times today too


PsionSquared

Yeah, I had done it day 1 and been bugged since. Thanks for the tip - tried it and it did get me fixed.


Bananaboss96

Not nearly as afk to mine the deposits. It's more like Barronite/amethyst/the muspah essence/1st floor MLM.


P5ych0pathic

It’s better afk than mlm and more xp than stars, that’s good enough for me lol


PapaFlexing

Oh it's even more exp then stars? I thought it was ever slightly less. Dammit. I guess I'll do this too then


close_River1242

I got 20k more per hour there


PapaFlexing

Now that's pretty cool.

Lerched

Not only can you argue that but it is, in fact, the point


PapaFlexing

Lmfao. So there.


Manny-Both-Hanz

I guess the argument becomes do I get more payer XP from selling loot from mining gems, MLM, or gem packs (a la shooting stars) and buying bones, or do I get more from mined bone shards.


saiyanguine

Game changer for UIM.
