3-tick 4-granite is an activity topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2021-03-01. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.
Requirements
- The granite quarry is in the desert, so you need heat protection: Desert amulet 4 gives complete immunity, a hit points cape with a regen bracelet can out-heal the damage, or desert robes with a Menaphite hat give the most protection otherwise; heat protection extends time between water skin sips up to a maximum of 132 seconds.1
Methods
- For 3-tick 4-granite, bring four to eight water skins and a rune pouch with water, fire and astral runes to cast Humidify (or just bank if you lack Lunars), a big stack of swamp tar and two different types of clean herb (two of the same herb makes a dialogue box that prevents 3-ticking), and optionally an herb sack for spare herbs.2
- The fastest way to the quarry is a Camulet teleport or the Desert Treasure Temple teleport on the Pharaoh's sceptre; Gnomonkey also sets up RuneLite using the minimap plugin to click the southern rock, and the stretched mode plugin to make the inventory very large lined up with the right side of the rocks at a certain camera zoom.3
- 3-tick 4-granite requires you to start making tar as soon as you actually mine the rock and, in the same tick, click to the next rock.3
- To start a cycle, start mining a rock and when your pickaxe hits or you genuinely mine the granite, use swamp tar on your herb, then quickly click to the next rock; at lower levels it is harder since you will not always mine the rock, and if you were off a tick you never mine granite and must correct your cycle.4
Stats and numbers
- 3-tick 4-granite scales dramatically with level because it increases your chance of mining the rock: Gnomonkey got around 70k XP/hr after only an hour of testing at 61 Mining, and says 130k XP/hr is possible at level 99, making it by far the fastest mining method in the game.5
Tips
- 3-tick 4-granite is incredibly good for something like a Hardcore Ironman because the pickaxe does not affect the method's speed at all, from bronze to crystal, so you do not need to risk your account getting a dragon pickaxe; using a crystal pickaxe just wastes charges.6
- Gnomonkey recommends getting a feel for the cycle while learning and completely dropping granite when the inventory is full; once you get the hang of it you can drop one or two granite between mining actions, which requires four to five clicks per tick.4
Gnomonkey's opinion
- Gnomonkey calls 3-tick 4-granite one of the more intensive tick manipulation methods in the game, but found it quite enjoyable while learning it for the video, slipping into a rhythm; it requires 100% attention as you often click multiple times per game tick.6
- Gnomonkey says 3-tick 4-granite will improve your clicks at raids in PvM, so he recommends it to improve overall clicking.5
