Graphical updates[edit | edit source]
Tin rocks were updated in March 2011 with the Lumbridge Swamp graphical rework, however they weren't updated in other areas until the release of 2011 Easter event. They were updated again with the release of Mining and Smithing rework in January 2019.

Update history[edit | edit source]
This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included - see here for how to help out!
- patch 21 January 2019 (Update):
- The mine to the south east of Varrock now houses tin ore, as previously stated on the world map icon tooltip.
- The Varrock south-east mining icon now includes tin ore (but not enough to spawn rockertunities).
- 31 January 2012 (Update):
- Mining rocks and veins have been renamed using the respective ore names.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Tin ore, like all other mined rocks, used to respawn at a rate indirectly proportional to the number of people in the rock's RuneScape world before the update on 13 March 2017.
