Update history[edit | edit source]
The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. 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.
- update 4 January 2001 (Update):
- Added to game.
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.
