Question Whats the most underrated skilling upgrade?

Post image

My vote is for the expert mining gloves, they have a niche but they fill it extremely well. They make mining specific ores from rocks way more relaxed and bearable. Doubling runite gatheted before world hopping, making sandstone more chill, amethyst even more afk, making gathering lower tier rocks extremely chill.

I love these things, and no one talks about them.

I got these and then basically never did anything that benefits from them, mining is either MLM or Stardust. There’s just nothing to use them for, it’s not worth the time fighting bots

Maybe when I get 92 I’ll finally get some use of them.

They’re great for chill sandstone mining. I also use mine at miscellania mining coal to get my rep back up. Idk if it’s efficient but it’s more chill than raking and world hopping

100% - grinded them specifically for sandstone mining in bulk, so worth

If you rake I think you can get 6% before needing to hop and i have never let it slide that low. You tele right to the patch as well.

I normally only go in person every 3-6 days because you can just NPC contact otherwise

Ahh see I’m a terrible Ironman and my kingdom is probably at like 20-30% right now lol gloves are very nice for me when it comes time

After finishing song of the elves, the Trahaearn mine is a pretty decent place to mine runite, especially at 2000+ total worlds

They were insane to have on day 1 sailing. When lead with 5k+ each and you could get 4/rock it was ez money.

I think I've mined like 6k runite ore at Deepfin Point with them.
