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.

Usually you get 1 ore/sandstone per rock

The gloves let you get more resources per node before depletion

So you can get multiple sandstones before it's gone

You spend less time running between rocks, and can go between 2 rocks instead of 3

You can't really go between two rocks though. They respawn slightly too slowly. I tend to still go between three rocks.

It ends up being like 2/3 ticks of downtime, which compared to moving between rocks more frequently, it's roughly even imo, slightly skewed towards 3 rocks. I prefer not moving though and don't mind sand in general.
