Respawn rate
Currently tin rocks respawn in 3 seconds.
Tin rock, 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. If the world was empty, the ore respawned in 4 seconds; if it was full (with 2000 players), it respawned in 2 seconds. Thus the respawn rate of copper ore was
- seconds,
where x is the number of players in the world.
A table of the historical 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.
