Everything You Need to Know About Primal Mining & Smithing in Runescape

Updated information:

1) After you get the initial mining requirements for the moonstone (using any pick) you then have to mine 100 of each primal ore using the pickaxe of Earth and Song
2) Jagex have hot fixed the stars so they don't instantly despawn when mobbed by hudnreds of players, so you can now safely grind out your meteor shard (took me about 40 mins). FYI the Wiki says it's a guaranteed drop after 600 hits, this is wrong, it took me ~1000.
3) You also need to bring 1,000,001 coins and a redberry pie to the dwarf under ice mountain after you have gathered all the components for the pickaxe.

Thanks to @blobhobs9830 amd @LordBinary1010 for pointing this out.

Full summary of how to get the Pickaxe of Life & Death:
1) Talk to the dwarf underneath Ice Mountain (to unlock the drops)
2) Mine the black stone on Mos Le harmless until you get the black fragment
3) Mine falling stars until you get the meteorite fragment
4) Talk to the Master Craftsman in Um whilst wearing a brown apron to unlock the moonstone ritual
5) Perform the moonstone ritual using a cut moonstone
6) Mine the required ores (inspect moonstone to see the list) WHILST having the moonstone and the stone spirits for those ores in your inventory (ore box works) – you can use any pickaxe.
7) Mine 100 of each of the new primal ores with a Pickaxe of Earth and Song whilst having the moonstone in your inventory
8) Bring a red berry pie, the moonstone, the black fragment the meteorite shard and 1,000,001 coins to the dwarf under Ice Mountain.
9) Make the Pickaxe of Life and Death in the forge under Ice Mountain

you don't need to be mining a new ore to get book pages. i got 1 mining rune ore

thank you so much for the video!

Imagine making a skill go to 110 that unlocks worse gear than at 99.

Jagex are so braindead

if they just gonna add dg items to main land for 100-110 just seems lazy …

I disagree, you should aim for the augmented pix 1st. It is the only item that is useful, and is better than the +5 pickaxe. Plus the star was hotfix so they don't instantly die.

Fuck them for the Shooting Star part. Also fuck Jagex for new content being worse exp/hr than Animica!
