Living Rock Caverns

The Living Rock Caverns are a members-only area that was added on 17 September 2009. The area was constructed for people of upper levels in Fishing, Cooking, and Mining. Players can find the entrance at the northern part of the Dwarven Mines under Falador and Ice Mountain. There are no quests relating to this area, nor can any be started in the caverns. The cavern was apparently discovered when due to Ice Mountain's peaks melting the running water from melted ice eroded the cavern creating an entrance from the Dwarven Mine. It is however a dangerous area due to the fact that it is guarded by level 120 to 200 Living rock creatures, so skilling here may very well be interrupted regularly.

Mining [[File:Coal.gif]][[File:Gold Ore.PNG]]
Mining in the Living Rock Caverns requires levels 73, 77, and 80 for living rock remains, concentrated coal rocks, and concentrated gold rocks. The concentrated gold and coal rocks are special rocks that can yield up to two ores at a time. There are 4 concentrated gold rocks and 8 concentrated coal rocks within the cavern.

More than 50 coal ore can be attained from one concentrated coal rock.

Fishing [[File:RawCavefish.gif]][[File:Raw_Rocktail.PNG]]
Two types of fish can be caught in the Living Rock Caverns: Cavefish and Rocktail.

Rocktail require fishing level of 90 and gives 380 experience per catch. Rocktail heal 23 hitpoints and will heal you up to 10 hitpoints higher than your maximum. This makes it the best single-bite food in the game.

Cavefish require fishing level of 85 and give 300 experience per catch, caught with standard bait and rod. Cavefish heal 20 Hitpoints and give a +2 boost to either Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged or Magic; eating cavefish raw (using the bunyip swallow whole scroll) does not currently give the +2 bonus.

Cooking [[File:Cavefish.gif]][[File:imageRocktail.gif]]
While you cannot cook here without building a fire, to cook Cavefish and Rocktail, you need levels 88 and 93.

Fighting
This Caverns contains several Living rock protectors (level 120, uses melee) and Living rock strikers (level 140, ranges by throwing rocks). The news article about the update hints at the Living rock patriarch (level 200). Below (from left) are the living rock protector, the living rock striker and the living rock patriarch. All of them are aggressive.The whole cavern is a single way combat area.



Farli's Camp
In the central part of the cavern Farli has set up camp. There also a handy pulley lift. Players can use this device to deposit items directly into their bank, just like a deposit box. This is where Farli resides and where you will appear when you enter the dungeon from the Dwarven Mine. There is a rope here that will take you back to the dwarven mine if climbed.

Alternate Route
For a quick route, take the coal trucks. You must have started The Giant Dwarf quest to use this route. From the Grand Exchange use the "hidden trapdoor," northwest of the exchange, near the agility shortcut. This takes you to Keldagrim. Once you arrive take either the North or South track, by clicking on the front car. Click on Ice Mountain. You can see the Living Rock cavern entrance from there!
