Sack (Motherlode Mine)
Sack (Motherlode Mine)
The Sack is an essential item used in the Motherlode Mine, located in the Heartlands, south of Falador. This area serves as a training ground for Mining, providing numerous resources and the opportunity to mine various ores.
Overview
The Sack allows players to accumulate gold ore and other minerals found while mining. It functions similarly to the standard inventory space, but it has unique properties that enhance the mining experience.
Capacity and Functionality
The Sack has a maximum capacity of 81kg of ore. Each type of ore has a specific weight, which you can check in your inventory. When the Sack is full, players must empty its contents at the bank or use the nearby pay-dirt machines.
How to Obtain a Sack
Players can acquire a Sack by speaking to Prospector Percy, located near the entrance of the Motherlode Mine. Initially, players will receive a damaged Sack, but they can upgrade it by completing specific tasks within the mine.
Upgrading the Sack
The upgraded Sack grants players the ability to hold up to 5 ores of different types without increasing its weight, improving efficiency during mining sessions. Upgrading can be done by consistently mining the various ores located in the Motherlode Mine.
Using the Sack
To use the Sack, players must equip it in their inventory. Once equipped, any ores obtained from mining will automatically be placed into the Sack, conserving valuable inventory space. Players can also store pay-dirt in their Sack.
Mining with the Sack
When players mine rocks within the Motherlode Mine, the ores obtained are automatically transferred to the Sack. If the Sack becomes full, players will receive a message indicating that it can no longer accept more ores.
Benefits of Using the Sack
The main benefits of using the Sack while mining include:
- Inventory Management: Helps manage space by allowing multiple ores to be stored without occupying the main inventory.
- Efficient Mining: Increases the amount of time players can spend mining without needing to frequently visit the bank.
- Expedited Training: Assists in faster Mining skill training, as players can focus solely on mining tasks without constant interruptions for banking.
Conclusion
The Sack is a critical tool for players engaging with the Motherlode Mine, enhancing the overall mining experience by reducing downtime and improving resource accumulation.
