Hello everyone,
We're back with another round of weekly updates! We've worked hard to push this one out right at the start of the weekend. This week, we're introducing the Motherlode Mine, which provides a viable way to train Mining, as well as the introduction
- Motherlode Mine:
- The Motherlode mine is now open for miners who are at least level 30 Mining!
- Access:
- You can reach the Motherlode mine by using the Teleport Wizard, or by using the Skills necklace. Alternatively, you can use one of the two shortcuts in the Falador mines.
- Features:
- This mining area features Ore veins, which can be mined for pay-dirt and yield 60 Mining experience.
- These ore veins occasionally deplete, with the ores on the lower level having a higher chance of depleting.
- The veins also have a chance to give uncut gems.
- This mining area features Ore veins, which can be mined for pay-dirt and yield 60 Mining experience.
- Pay-dirt:
- The clean the pay-dirt that is mined, you can fill it into the hopper.
- When deposited, it will be taken through a water circuit and will flow towards the sack at the end.
- The sack can then be searched to collect various ores, ranging from Coal to Runite.
- Higher level ores will yield more experience.
- You will also have a chance to receive Golden nuggets, which can be used in Prospector Percy's Nugget Shop.
- The sack can then be searched to collect various ores, ranging from Coal to Runite.
- When deposited, it will be taken through a water circuit and will flow towards the sack at the end.
- Sack size:
- The sack can hold up to 108 pay-dirt initially, but can also be upgraded by paying Prospector Percy 200 golden nuggets, which brings the maximum up to 189 pay-dirt.
- The clean the pay-dirt that is mined, you can fill it into the hopper.
- Hazards:
- Rockfalls:
- Occasionally, rocks will fall in certain areas of the mine, damaging any unlucky players who are standing under them for 1-4 HP. These can be mined away for 10 Mining experience.
- Broken struts:
- Occasionally, the struts on the water wheels will break. This event affects everybody in the mine, and if both water wheels break, then the machinery can no longer clean pay-dirt for anyone. The struts can be fixed by using a hammer on them and grants some Smithing experience (1.5x the player's Smithing level).
- Rockfalls:
- Access:
- Upper level:
- To access the upper level, you must have at least level 72 Mining and pay Prospector Percy a one-time fee of 10M GP.
- The upper level contains 68 additional ores that are closer to each other compared to the lower level. They also have a lower chance of depleting.

- Phase 1 is now more resistant to Ranged/Magic attacks.
- Melee should be the choice during this phase.

- Cape fixes:
- Regular players can no longer use the Donator zone chinchompa teleport.
- Using certain Max cape functions that had options (eg. Chinchompas, Spellbook swap) would cause your player to perform the max cape emote. This should no longer occur.
- Ardougne max cape unique teleports (Kandarin monastery and Ardougne farm) have been fixed.
- Infernal max cape options have been fixed.
