Tin ore rocks

File:Tin-rock.png

A tin rock.

Rock that contains tin ore once mined upon with a pickaxe. It can be mined with any level Mining. Mining 14 tin ore and 14 copper ore (wielding the pickaxe as a weapon to free the 28th inventory space) and smelting them to bronze bars is a slow but effective way to raise mining and smithing.

Respawn rate

Tin ore, like all other mined rocks, respawns at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's RuneScape world. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 4 seconds; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 2 seconds. Thus the respawn rate of tin ore is

$4-{\frac {x}{1000}}$ seconds,

where x is the number of players in the world.

A table of respawn rates is given below.

Players	0	200	400	600	800	1000	1200	1400	1600	1800	2000
Respawn time	4.0 s	3.8 s	3.6 s	3.4 s	3.2 s	3.0 s	2.8 s	2.6 s	2.4 s	2.2 s	2.0 s

Tin ore has the same respawn rate as copper ore.
