Concentrated gold rocks



Concentrated gold rocks can only be found in the Living Rock Caverns located north of the Dwarven Mine. They require a Mining level of 80 to mine ore from them and give 65 experience per ore mined. There are only 4 concentrated gold rocks in the game; they are in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast corners of the cavern.

Concentrated gold rocks will give 1-3 gold ores at a time. If wearing Varrock armour, multiple ores will be mined even more frequently displaying the message "Your Varrock armour allows you to mine an additional ore", and "you manage to mine two (or three) gold ores!" when mined on your own. Gems cannot be obtained from this type of rock.



Concentrated gold rocks are decent experience, at about 40-60k experience per hour, and can be a money making method for high level players because the rocks are very close to a deposit box. However the most notable feature for the avid use of this location is that this type of mining requires substantially less clicking than the constant attention necessary for normal mining

Note: This is a dangerous area as all of the monsters are above level 120 and are aggressive to players that come near them.

Trivia

 * People often thought that mining one rock with a group made the rock last longer, but Jagex Moderators have confirmed they are on a random timer.
 * World 84, 77 and 88 are the famous unofficial worlds for mining in the Living Rock Caverns.
 * There is a Clan Chat for each world that blesses gravestones, gives food supplies and lend pickaxes, which are 88 (MiningGolds), 77 (Mg w77) and 84 (Mining Golds).
 * Players can be seen using the Superheat spell while mining gold in the caverns. This is because using Superheat does not stop the mining process, as long as the spell animation is completed before Superheating again.
 * When in World 84 after a rock is mined you will experience a sudden moment of massive lag (If your computer isn't that good, you will lag out). This is due to the big amount of people moving at once.
 * Worlds 84, 77 and 88 are also used for fishing Rocktail.
 * It is best to use a Pack Yak as its storage space allows for much more mining experience per hour than a Lava Titan.
 * Even if you are mining in Worlds 84, 77 or 88 it is recommended that you bring armour due to the high level creatures, however it is better for higher levels to use an Enhanced Excalibur.
 * Dropping your gold ores and re-clicking the gold deposit right away allows upto 85K Mining xp per hour, with the help of Mousekeys and an Obsidian golem/Lava titan familiar. Some players superheat their gold ores and drop the bars to allow very high mining and smithing xp rates per hour.
