Barronite deposits are found whilst mining barronite rocks within the Ruins of Camdozaal. Each deposit mined yields 32 Mining experience. Mining barronite does not consume celestial ring charges, but the +4 invisible Mining boost still applies.

Using them on the Barronite Crusher anvil, near Ramarno, with a hammer yields 30 Smithing experience and various rewards, including barronite shards.

Notes:

Activating the Charm of Luck at Ramarno slightly increases the chance of obtaining rare items.
The ancient relics do not drop in order. You may receive multiple of each.
Items are rolled for when the deposit is opened, so one may stockpile them in free-to-play and still receive an Imcando hammer when opening them in members.
