Mining >.<

Around a year ago mining used to be one of the most profitable skills on the game, especially runite mining.
But now everything has gone pear shaped.

The prices for nearly every item on the game have gone up while runite ore has just remained the same.

I really don't understand why rune hasn't been rising in price.....

Everybody is PvPing
The cost for all other weapons and armour have been rising#

So technically rune armour should be in higher demand and therefore runite ore should be going up in price.

A lot of people use runite ore just to superheat to make rune bars. I'm pretty sure most rune armor comes into the game from shops rather than smithing, but I'm not exactly sure what people smith with rune bars lol.

runite bolts/scimitar.. people used to smith rune axes a lot when they we 15-20k quite a while ago..

as for rune armour prices there probably just so much of it that demand doesn't really affect it's price, is my guess

People mostly just power the mining skill now so most of the ores are inflated. I really dont know why runite isnt doing the same :huh: good topic.

Most of rune armour nowadays is from pvp/76ks. Meaning no need for the ore.

Too logical

Don't forget about clues, I manage to get 100 rune pieces of each: legs, body, helm; just from clues, so there you go, another source of rune items other than smithing.

No one actually MAKES rune, almost all the rune armour in the game is from monster drops and clues ;)

plus 1

alot of people dont have the smithing/mining level to mine rune and smith rune items. and since theres so many other ways of getting rune drops(slayer, clues, pvp) theres no need to smith it. and another point. smithing is a expensive skill, if people just smithed so they can smith rune armor, it would be cheaper to just buy it.
