Respawn rate
Copper rock, 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 4 seconds; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 2 seconds. Thus the respawn rate of copper ore is
- seconds,
where x is the number of players in the world.
A table of respawn rates is given below.
| Players | 0 | 200 | 400 | 600 | 800 | 1000 | 1200 | 1400 | 1600 | 1800 | 2000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Respawn time | 4.0 s | 3.8 s | 3.6 s | 3.4 s | 3.2 s | 3.0 s | 2.8 s | 2.6 s | 2.4 s | 2.2 s | 2.0 s |
It is worthwhile to note that copper rocks have the same respawn rate as Tin rocks.
