The Elder Rune Ore Box is a unique item in the online video game RuneScape. It is a storage device that allows players to carry a larger amount of Elder Rune ore, which is a high-level ore used for Smithing. Players can store up to 100 of these ores in the box and withdraw them at any time. The main benefit of the Elder Rune Ore Box is that it saves inventory space for players. Previously, players would have to carry the ores in their inventory, which limited the amount of other items they could bring. With the ore box, players can carry more ores without sacrificing inventory space.
The ore box cannot be emptied into a player's inventory. Once filled it can only be emptied into a bank, deposit box or metal bank. The "Deposit-All" option in the metal bank empties the ore box as well as having an "empty" option that works in the bank interface. With deposit boxes, the ore box must be used on it to deposit the contents without banking the ore box, as the empty option does not exist in the deposit box interface, but this does allow the player to return to mining. Simply placing an ore box into the bank also empties the box, placing all the ores stored within it into the bank. If there isn't enough space in the bank, the ore(s) will stay in the box while banked.
With deposit boxes, the ore box must be used on it to deposit the contents without banking the ore box, as the empty option does not exist in the deposit box interface, but this does allow the player to return to mining. Fixed an issue in which the contents of an ore box was being deposited into a player s inventory if the box had previously been placed into a full bank upon death.
With the ore box, players can carry more ores without sacrificing inventory space. In order to obtain the Elder Rune Ore Box, players must have a Mining level of 90 and a Smithing level of 100. They can then create the box using five Elder Rune bars, which are made from smelting Elder Rune ore.
Mining runite ore
Mining runite ore, which is a high-level ore that frequently sells for a high price ( 11,197 coins) due to its use in producing runite bars via Smithing, is an achievement in itself. They are highly popular and often are depleted of their resources, so players need to switch worlds in order to find fresh runite rocks. By doing quests and unlocks, more locations to mine runite will become available to you.
Non-members can only mine runite at one location - the Wilderness Rune Mine, which contains two rocks. It is located north-west of the Lava Maze in level 46 Wilderness. Since it is in the Wilderness, players should not take anything they are not prepared to lose. It's also suggested for players to mine with extreme caution since there is the always-looming threat of a player killer.
Before venturing out there, players should bring a few pieces of food and Armour. Having a scout, such as a noob account, can be used to assess the risks and find available rocks.
If you have a members account however, more locations will become available to you. Quests such as Song of the Elves, and unlocking account progressions such as fire cape will give way to less crowded mining locations.
At 99 mining, GP rates can exceed ~1.2m gp/hr with optimal equipment & unlimited rocks between 8-10 world hops (2 rocks per world). However, runite mining can be very competitive, even at the most remote locations. Players must hop worlds every time the ore is depleted, in search of fresh rocks, which respawn every 12 minutes. Total level worlds such as 1750, 2000, 2200 are more likely to contain unmined runite rocks than non-total worlds.
The rate at which runite is mined greatly depends on how much competition is at the mine. Players can easily mine 50, and up to ~110 ores an hour if you get rocks all to yourself. With no direct costs, this profits between 559,850 and 1,175,685 coins. A relatively afk player hopping between total level worlds can expect ~65 ores per hour, or 727,805 coins. Factor in Varrock armour 4, and the player has a 10% chance of mining two ores at once. Players can also use superior mining gloves, which give a 12.5% chance of the rock not depleting.

Dying in the Wilderness with an ore box of any tier, if unprotected, will result in the box and all ores contained within dropping on the ground for the killer. If the player protects their ore box, any ores contained within the ore box will be dropped on the ground for the killer; however, the ore box will be kept.
The process requires the use of a furnacue and an anvil. Once players have created the Elder Rune Ore Box, they can use it by right-clicking on it and selecting the "Fill" option. This will transfer any Elder Rune ores in the player's inventory into the box. To withdraw the ores, players simply right-click on the box and select the "Empty" option. In addition to the convenience of saving inventory space, the Elder Rune Ore Box also provides a small amount of passive experience for Mining and Smithing. This means that players will gain experience in these skills over time, even when they are not actively mining or smithing. Overall, the Elder Rune Ore Box is a useful item in RuneScape that allows players to carry more Elder Rune ore and save inventory space. It is a valuable tool for players with high Mining and Smithing levels, as it helps them maximize their efficiency and gameplay experience..
Reviews for "Mining made simpler: How the Elder Rune Ore Box streamlines the process"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Elder Rune Ore Box. While I had high hopes for this item, it ended up being a complete waste of my money. The box itself is quite clunky and takes up a lot of inventory space. Additionally, it doesn't actually offer a significant boost in efficiency when mining Elder Rune Ore. I was expecting a larger increase in ore capacity or maybe even a chance for double ore, but unfortunately, the box falls flat in this regard. Overall, I would not recommend purchasing the Elder Rune Ore Box if you're looking for a substantial improvement in your mining experience.

The Elder Rune Ore Box is just okay in my opinion. While it does provide a slight convenience by allowing you to carry more ore, it doesn't offer any unique benefits that make it worth the investment. The price of the box is also quite high, and I feel like I could have spent my money on other, more useful items. While it's not necessarily a bad item, I wouldn't consider it a must-have for any player, especially those who aren't heavily focused on mining. Overall, I think the Elder Rune Ore Box is just average and not worth the hype.

I tried using the Elder Rune Ore Box while mining, and I have to say, it didn't live up to my expectations. The box is quite heavy and takes up a lot of inventory space, which limits the amount of other important items I can carry while mining. Additionally, the increased ore capacity is nice, but it doesn't justify the high price tag of the box. I was hoping for some unique features or benefits that would enhance my mining experience, but unfortunately, the Elder Rune Ore Box is just a fancy storage container with limited functionality. Save your money and invest in other items that will actually have a noticeable impact on your gameplay.
