Quick Start

1. Starting position: Start at the Blast Mine in Lovakengj (recommended) or anywhere with teleport items
2. Bank requirements:
   • Dynamite (buy from Thirus nearby or bring your own)
   • Food (any type, lobster or better recommended)
   • Chisel and tinderbox (will be withdrawn automatically if missing)
   • Optional: Stamina potions, Dragon pickaxe (equipped for spec)
3. Configure settings:
   • Select a Location (North East recommended for beginners)
   • Select your Food type
   • Enable Stamina potions if you have them
   • Adjust Food Quantity (4-6 pieces is typical)
4. Click Start - The script will begin the blast mining sequence

Script Arguments

Load a saved settings profile by passing the profile name as a script argument:

MyProfile

This loads <tribot-folder>/nScripts/nBlast Mine/settings/MyProfile.ini and starts immediately without showing the GUI. Useful for automation and automatically starting scripts on clients.

Additional options:

• last - Load the most recently used settings
• Profiles saved to nScripting.com Settings Storage can also be loaded by name

Requirements

Skill Requirements

Note: Blast Mine allows you to obtain ores as if your Mining level were 10 levels higher. At 75 Mining, you can obtain runite ore, significantly increasing profit.

Equipment Requirements

• Sulphur mining only: Face mask, gas mask, or slayer helmet (breathing filter required)
• Optional: Dragon pickaxe or better (for special attack Mining boost)
• Recommended: Graceful outfit or weight-reducing gear

Location Requirements

• No Lovakengj Favour required - Blast Mine access is available without favour
• Sulphur mining mode is optional and can still be used to gain Lovakengj favour if desired

Items/GP Needed

Required:

• Dynamite (primary consumable)
• Chisel
• Tinderbox
• Food

Recommended:

• Stamina potions
• Games necklace (for teleporting back after GE trips)
• Ring of wealth (for GE teleport during restocking)

For GE Restocking:

• Starting GP to purchase supplies

How It Works

Blast Mining

The script automates the blast mining activity through optimized mining sequences:

1. Excavate hard rock with a chisel to create a cavity
2. Load dynamite into the cavity
3. Light the dynamite with a tinderbox
4. Dodge the explosion by moving at least 2 tiles away (15 damage if hit)
5. Loot the blasted ore from the ground
6. Deposit blasted ore into the ore sack before it disintegrates (3 minutes)
7. Collect washed ore from the Operator when the sack is full

The script uses pre-optimized sequences that:

• Chain multiple rocks together to minimize waiting
• Time movements to avoid explosion damage
• Predict safe tiles and hover next actions for maximum efficiency
• Loop sequences without banking when inventory space allows

Sulphur Mining

When enabled, the script mines volcanic sulphur to gain Lovakengj favour:

1. Travels to the Sulphur Mine in north-western Lovakengj
2. Mines volcanic sulphur deposits
3. Avoids poison gas clouds that deal rapid damage
4. Banks sulphur when inventory is full
5. Eats food to survive cloud damage
6. Optionally switches to blast mining at 100% favour

Settings Reference

Supported Locations

Tip: For optimal performance, consider creating a Custom Location tailored to your playstyle. Custom sequences allow you to define exactly which rocks to mine in what order, maximizing efficiency for your specific setup. Click the "Configure custom location + sequence" link in the Basic Options tab to set this up.

Troubleshooting

"We have died."

Cause: Your character died from explosion damage or other causes.

Fix: Ensure you have enough food and an appropriate HP level. The script automatically moves away from explosions, but if you're low level or have low food, deaths can occur. Consider using better food or increasing food quantity.

"We do not have any more [Food Type]"

Cause: Bank is out of the configured food type (sulphur mining).

Fix: Deposit more food into your bank, or enable GE Restocking to automatically purchase food.

"We do not have a pickaxe"

Cause: No pickaxe found in inventory or bank (sulphur mining).

Fix: Deposit a pickaxe into your bank. Any pickaxe works, but a dragon pickaxe or better allows you to use the special attack.

"We do not have a games necklace"

Cause: Script needs to teleport to the blast mine but has no games necklace.

Fix: Deposit games necklaces into your bank, or enable GE Restocking to purchase them automatically.

"We don't have a ring of wealth"

Cause: Script needs to teleport to the Grand Exchange for restocking but has no ring of wealth.

Fix: Deposit rings of wealth into your bank, or ensure you have another way to reach the GE.

"We need to eat but do not have any food set"

Cause: HP is low and the script needs to eat, but no food type is configured.

Fix: Configure a food type in the main settings before starting the script.

Getting Help

If you run into issues not covered in Troubleshooting:

1. Generate a bug report - In TRiBot: Dev Tab → Generate Bug Report (includes logs, settings, and screenshot)
2. Post on Discord - Share the zip and describe what happened vs. what you expected at discord.gg/BFtypSSbjp

For issues that are hard to capture in a screenshot, a short screen recording helps.

Tips

• Create a custom location for optimal performance - the built-in sequences are good starting points, but a custom sequence tailored to your preferences can maximize efficiency
• Level 75 Mining is a significant milestone - you can obtain runite ore, which dramatically increases profit
• Stamina potions are highly recommended for all sequences to maintain run energy
• Dragon pickaxe special attack provides a temporary +3 Mining boost, helping you get higher-tier ores
• Elite Kourend & Kebos Diary gives a 10% increased chance for higher-tier ores
• Prospector kit bonus XP applies when collecting washed ore - you don't need to wear it while mining
• Start at the Blast Mine for best performance - the script handles everything from there
• The script tracks ore disintegration timers - it will prioritize depositing ore before the 3-minute timer expires
• World hop if another player is using your rocks - the script can detect this and hop automatically
