<aside> 💡 This guide explains how to earn respect, gain the golden mining outfit, and complete the “Gilded” achievement.

</aside>

You can enter the Lava Flow Mine with the ;;lfm command or by clicking the Mining skill. You need level 68 Mining to break the crust.

Recommended items

• Your best pickaxe. A dragon pickaxe is required for the “Gilded” achievement (toolbelted pickaxes also work for this).
• Varrock armor from the Prestige shop for an +1% mining XP
• Golden mining suit, if you already have it. The platebody of the golden mining suit takes on the effects of the Varrock armor, if you own it
• A Lava titan for an invisible +10 Mining boost
• A weapon

Mechanics

1. Find the weakest channel: Talk to Foreman Jaak at the west entrance to learn which channel (A–D) currently has the lowest flow rate.
2. Check flow rates: Click the gauges beside each segment to view its percentage.
3. Mine the crust: Focus on the segment showing a 50% flow rate for the best XP and respect gains.
4. Track respect gains: You earn 1% respect for every 76,000 XP you gain from mining.
5. Repeat: The blockage moves every 4–7 minutes—return to Jaak each time to locate the new low-flow segment.
