Limestone


 * For the rock which Limestone comes from, see Limestone rock.
 * For the brick made after using a chisel on it, see Limestone brick.

Limestone is a stone which is used in several skills, (e.g., Mining, Crafting, and Construction) as well as quests.

It is required in the Regicide quest to make quicklime to make a barrel bomb.

Mining
It can be mined by a player with a Mining level of 10, and gives 26.5 Mining experience when mined.

There are only two locations at which it can be mined:
 * The limestone quarry west of the temple Paterdomus and north-east of Varrock (by the Odd Old Man's house).
 * The white rocks near the dire wolves in north-east Tirannwn between the walled city of Prifddinas and road in Arandar.

When smelting the limestone the text "I see no reason to do this." will appear in the chat window, but it used to inflict 80 points of damage.

Mining limestone in the quarry near the Paterdomus is one of the easy Varrock Tasks.

Crafting
Limestone can be crafted into limestone bricks at Crafting level 12 (gives 6 Crafting experience) when used with a chisel, although it may accidentally become a rock. (The chance of failure drops with Crafting level, and at level 40+ it is impossible to fail.)

You can now chisel limestone in larger quantities without repetitive clicking as of 9 November 2009.

Building the Temple of Mort'ton in the Shades of Mort'ton activity gives 5 Crafting experience for each brick laid.

Construction
Limestones are also used in Construction.

It is a material used for building limestone fireplaces in the Parlour, Limestone attack stones in Games Room, stairs in both Quest and Skill halls and imp statues in the Garden.

Limestone can also be purchased from Razmire Keelgan's builders store in Mort'ton for 10 coins and the rock shop in Keldagrim for 21 coins each.

You get 20 xp per limestone used when building something.
