Welcome to the resource area, a piece of content released in 2014 as part of the first wilderness rejuvenation update. This update was a massive addition to Old School Runescape, introducing new features like the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon, the Fountain of Roon, and Red Chinchompa. The resource area itself is a location that contains various resources, including ores and trees that can be gathered. It also features two Runite golems that can be killed for Runite ore.

When the resource area was first released, it was a popular spot for players to gather resources as other locations like the mining and woodcutting guilds didn't exist. The area also features a dark crab fishing spot, an anvil, and a furnace. The unique aspect of this location is that all resources can be noted with the help of Pyles.

To make the most of this location, it's best to mine ores, smelt them into bars, and then smith them into armor or weapons. This way, you can get mining and smithing XP, as well as RS GP, all at once. It's a great idea to test this method out but keep in mind that the area hasn't been updated in almost 10 years, and some spots have been left nearly barren.

To make mining easier, it's recommended to get yourself the best mage gear possible and kill the Runite golems. However, it's worth noting that even with the best gear, using black Chinchompas is still a better option for DPS. Killing the Runite golems can be slow and not very profitable, but it can still be a fun and unique experience.

When mining Runite ore, keep in mind that you must mine it within a minute of killing the Runite golems, or you won't get anything at all. Also, note that superior mining gloves don't work on Runite golem rocks.

In conclusion, the resource area is an excellent spot to gather resources and gain XP. While it hasn't been updated in a while, it still offers a unique experience and is worth checking out. Remember to make the most of it by mining ores, smelting them, and smithing them into armor or weapons.
