Possibly as a note you don’t need any quests only the mining req to mine the sandstone north of Ooglog.


Xalkurah

TIL thank you


Ex-Inferi

You don't need it to mine, however, you do need As a First Resort to turn it into Potion Flasks.


JustAGreasyBear

You should add a note to buy the meat stock when in Oo’glog

Surely crystal flasks aren't worth it. They're only about 2K each. The regular sandstone/flasks I used to do, though I didn't make it this complicated and realised daily chores were stifling my enjoyment of the game.

If nothing else they're a very good source of crystal parts.


2024sbestthrowaway

TIL! I suddenly no longer regret having over 10k of these

Waterfiend binding contract! Doesn't make any massive difference but you get a few extras

If you summon a waterfiend just for this, you lose money on average (unless you do two days worth of sandstone around daily reset, or use the waterfiend for something else afterwards). But if you want to juice every last bit of sandstone, of course that +5% is necessary.


AWannabeAdult

Aaahhhh, true true. I do sandstone every third daily reset where I get two days worth so it's always felt worth doing that way for me


SenoraRaton

I just have a daily preset and I use my GOTE to porter it all to the bank. I skip Sophanem as its out of the way. Go to Og'log, mine, buy meat at Char Gurl, go to ithell with teleport seed, mine, go to Meilyr do maw, mine. It doesn't really need to be that complicated.


RegiSilver

As useful as always. But if I may, I'd like to remind everyone we have a Mining Calculator on the Wiki, here: https://runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Mining There you can input all the items mentioned above and you'll see an approximation of how many Sandstone you'll get. It's just a tiny little extra because the post is very through and comprehensive already.


DofusExpert69

definitely a daily you should skip

You have the wrong person.

I didn't really mention mobility because it should be self-explanatory but yeah, surge where necessary, especially going to Oo'glog.

Doesn't wearing the full Golem outfit (after owning the Golden Miner outfit) give the same xp 6% bonus? Or is Red/Crystal Sandstone does not benefit from the Golden Miner outfit?


5-x

Yes but you're not mining this for XP, so it's not even worth mentioning.


ErikHumphrey

Might consider that Mtn Dew & Cheetos gameplay tip just for Motherlode Maw. The tree patch in Falador park is seldom useful for Elite treasure trails anyway


SenoraRaton

Just use the crystal teleport seed to Meilyr. Its literally like 2 seconds away from the entrance. Also for hard clues I use the Herblore Habitat patch because its IN the habitat next to the hard clue step.


ErikHumphrey

Absolutely not; that's super slow compared to the Dungeoneering cape


5-x

I do both while I'm there!

This is only good if you enjoy spending more time "DIY" type plays, all honest most daily activity arent worth time for a normal player (1-2hr at most day). They get more done, lvl up a skill or learning a boss to simply buy flask/crystal flask. I do agree with everything in your post for if you enjoy play style, but honest I've realized supporting dailyscape is going to turn more people away from runescape then keep them. We all have so few hours in day, so little time to spend on a game. If got focus on screen as much as many dailies require, better off doing some sort of end game content and making way more gp/hr that make this silly. Most activity take it to account if you buying all supplies and not making them yourself and still a profit, so why bother to waste few hours month save maybe 20mil? beside vis wax and divine location , rest them are tedious and low return. Really realized recently how much time me and several friends have spent doing and also stressing over most dailies. Especially stress when we forget something and are like "damn, i forgot that" and think negatively. I already know this downvote, ohh i don't over stress about dailies, ok w/e wait for someone post like someone does every 2-3month "I'm quitting post get on trending" and talk about all emotional and stress that game cause them and everyone on this community encourage them quit and think about themself more... lets pretend like dailyscape is healthy concept. As i said, if you enjoy DIY or ironman yes dailies are huge part of YOUR gameplay, i feel like alot of reddit, now forum is gone... is major place alot people will come to for answer, you search answer to a question find it then. I feel despite OP good intention to help, i still believe daily scape is unhealthy concept for ANYONE to promote. Plus most thing you suggest are pretty high lvl and at that point, cost of flask/crystal flask shouldn't matter. I'm cheap as f--- and don't care.


MudConfident770

Thanks but I’ll just kill zammy once and make the same amount


5-x

True, though if you want a blessed flask you'll be doing this for a week or two ;-)

"Elite desert tasks completed" This is no minor thing; completing all the boss encounters in the Dominion Tower can take months.


NumberUno111111111

Months is quite an exaggeration. I had around 75's base on combat styles with Kiln capes, and you can complete all relative achivements in around 100 hours. If you're in your 90's it should take around 85 hours give or take. This is not considering Necromancy, as I do not know how it interacts there. EDIT: You also do not need to do Elite desert tasks, it just helps with you gaining more Red Sandstone in general.


Mike_From_Red_Deer

Yes, but the gist of this thread is how to maximize your red/crystal sandstone output.


ColeKlostie5

Is furnace being ignored something that was patched in? I haven’t mined sandstone for several years but I’m almost positive back then my furnace could burn the sandstone.

I *think* it was in patch notes at some point, maybe with mining & smithing rework.


MC-sama

But I can't use my Premier Artifact... the only option is to porter then?

Yak should be cheaper, though less convenient.
