Runite ore rocks

Runite rocks are a type of rock that can be mined through the Mining skill in various places throughout RuneScape.

Runite rocks can be mined with a Mining level of 85 or higher, granting 125 Mining experience upon receiving runite ore. After being mined, runite rocks take an average of 20 minutes to respawn. Due to this length of time, nearly all players who mine runite prefer to switch worlds rather than wait for it to respawn. It is recommended not to hop to busy servers, as the rocks may be mined  already.

Locations

 * In free worlds, there are only 2 runite rocks, located above the lava maze in the level 46 wilderness.  This makes it very dangerous to mine runite ore in non member's worlds,  as there is the chance of being attacked by revenants,  NPCs or by other players in PvP  or Bounty worlds.
 * Members' worlds boast 7 more rocks;
 * 2 located in the Heroes' Guild basement by the Fountain of Heroes.
 * One in the dungeon underneath the Lava Maze which is guarded by level 64 poison spiders and 2 black dragons
 * One is surrounded by several dangerous Dark Beasts under West Ardougne on the way to the Temple of Light as featured in the Mourning's Ends Part II quest.
 * One in the centre of the Fremennik Isles (reward for The Fremennik Isles quest), north-east of Neitiznot.
 * Two more are accessible in the North Keldagrim mining area accessible after the completion of the Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf  quest. 		 		  		  	http://

Runite ore, like all other mined rocks, respawns at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's RuneScape  world. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 25 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 12  minutes and 30 seconds. Thus the respawn rate of runite ore is
 * minutes, or seconds,

where x is the number of players in the world.
