Granite (5kg)

Granite is a rock mined from granite rocks, requiring 45 Mining. Granite rocks can be found in the quarry south of Bandit Camp, at the Necropolis mine in the Necropolis, and at the Cape Conch mine on The Great Conch island. The first two areas are subject to desert heat, so players mining there need waterskins, the circlet of water, or the Desert amulet 4 to avoid taking damage.

A piece of granite (any size) is required in the quest King's Ransom, and two 5kg pieces of granite are required in the quest Enakhra's Lament. In a player-owned house, five pieces of granite (5kg) can be used to upgrade an outdoor menagerie to a volcanic habitat, or two pieces of granite (5kg) can be used to build a volcanic theme in a superior garden. A piece of granite (any size) can be used to recolour the mining pet, the Rock golem.

Unlike sandstone, larger pieces of granite cannot be chiseled down into smaller pieces. Attempting to chisel a 5kg piece outside of Enakhra's Lament displays the message You don't need to craft the granite into anything., and attempting to chisel down a 1kg or 2kg piece displays the message This block of granite is too small to craft into anything.

Mining granite provides the fastest Mining experience obtainable. When using tick manipulation to mine only granite, the rates can reach over 116,000 experience per hour at level 70 and up to 132,000 experience per hour at level 99. This is the fastest Mining experience obtainable as soon as reaching level 45, but it is considerably more difficult than other methods due to the click intensity and accuracy involved. Without tick manipulation, the rates are around 48,000 experience per hour at level 70 and 60,000 experience per hour at level 99.

Granite can be mined alongside Sandstone, decreasing the amount you have to move to mine the rocks, for roughly 70,000 experience per hour at 80+ and up to 93,750 at 99.

• In Trailblazer League, a 2 kg block of granite could be purchased from Trader Stan's Trading Post in Port Khazard and Catherby. This was to allow players to complete King's Ransom without the need to unlock the Kharidian Desert.
