Method

A repeatable practical cycle

1
Choose a circuit

Start with a manageable wall pattern rather than copying a maximum-efficiency loop immediately.

2
Place and light

Use dynamite on the wall, ignite it and move outside the blast radius.

3
Collect blasted ore

Return after detonation and collect the loose ore before it disappears.

4
Deposit for rewards

Deliver the collected material and value the ore mix for your Mining level.

5
Increase the pattern

Move toward 330 dynamite/hr only after the timing is consistent.

XP vs profit

What changes the tradeoff

About 85.8K Mining and 16.5K Firemaking XP/hr at 330 dynamite

Each dynamite in the Wiki method represents about 260 Mining XP and 50 Firemaking XP. Reward quality scales with Mining level, with runite available from 75.

4

Ignoring dynamite cost
